A thought I had

After debating my boss at work about U of L and UK, I have come to the conclusion that U of L fans known nothing about facts.

U of L basketball is not Elite anymore. In reality, they were only the 1980s. You take away that decade, and what do you have? A team with two Final Fours, no championships and barely 1,000 school wins.

U of L was unheard during the 1990's. They have had minor success during the past 8 years. However, they have one Final Four and no Championships. How can they call themselves elite and compare their program to that of UK, UNC, KU, UCLA or even Duke's?

All of those teams have been great for decades. UK for instance won a Helms National Championship during the 1920s. They also won one the first year Rupp coached in 1931. UK owned the 1940s and 1950s. Even though UK didn't win a championship during the 1960s, UK still had major success. During the 1970s UK made a few Final Fours and won a Championship (1978). UK made a Final Four during the 1980s and won the mass majority of their games. UK along with Duke, dominated the 1990s.

UK has been down the past few years, much like UNC was when Dean Smith left. UNC however, hired the right fit and have won two National Championships under Roy Williams. U of L with a new Coach has none. Again, U of L cannot call themselves elite. Even since Ricky-boy took over U of L, UK has dominated them in head to head matchups. U of L fans seem to forget facts - nothing new.

UK will rebuild much like UNC did. UK has always been better and more elite than U of L and that is how things will always be. U of L, like Duke, will always be second best in the state. U of L fans, learn to live with it. Duke has.
