We are loving us some Pelphrey!!! His love and passion for the game is incredible. He's doing a real good job in recruiting right now. We're very young this year, but we may surprise some folks! What impresses me about him the most is that he's all about the student-athlete. He makes sure the players are in classes when they need to be and when they aren't there's a hefty price to pay. I love him!!!
To us in Kentucky, there is no greater sports team than the kentucky wildcats. Where Boston has the Celtics, Los Angeles has the Lakers, Chicago has the Bulls, we have the Wildcats. To us they're bigger than any team in the NBA, and I'm so proud to call myself a wildcats fan and will be loyal to them until the day I die
yeah kentucky fans are the most loyal to there team..we make it through the good and the bad times of uk.. more good though :) give this new team some time..they will be great.. and billy will keep the real tradition of Kentucky..which is to WIN!!
As I have been to nearly 70 different college basketball games across the country (including rupp about 10 times) I can tell you that there are more passionate fans at Indiana, Duke, UNC, Kansas than Kentucky the past 15 years.
Doesn't it!?! Thank you for recognizing UK's prominence in Basketball. That is particularly telling coming from a RedSox (and Celtics???) fan! The Celts certainly could lay some claim to that mantle!
best basketball team ever!D-1,D-2,D-3,no one can compare to our records- -most ncaa appearences -most WINS of all time -2nd most championships -3rd best coach next to bob knight and john wooden -most tournament wins of all time i may be 11, but with this tradition i know a lot about kentucky basketball ps-GREAT song choice dream on goes to ucla,duke,north carolina,and indiana
The race to 2000 wins was suppose to be close. We've got 2009 wins now and UNC hasn't even reached 2000 yet. Kansas might pass them and get to 2000 before they do. The Heels look like they're headed for the NIT. How the mighty have fallen. Bring home #8, guys! GO BIG BLUE!!!!
all the comments below just prove that UK has a better program than anyone else. Cat fans will always defend their boys and never stop believing. no person can ever deny UK has the most loyal fan base; take a look at Rupp at any given game, doesnt matter who it is, its FULL!!!
anyone who doesnt think kentucky has the best basketball program in history seriously needs to look at the record books (most wins out of any team). and if that still doesnt convince u, i suggest u take a trip to Rupp and check out all our banners! GO CATS!
Just because Kentucky has had some great teams and more wins than everyone else, doesn't mean they are the best basketball program ever on this planet. You guys just think you are. And no, I am not a Tennessee fan.
It doesn't matter who thinks we are the best we know we are the best in history might not have a great team this year but will be better next year. Its a fact Kentucky school in collage history.
Well, I hate to say it, but Kentucky has just opened the flood gates for every recruit in America! Kentucky will probably be #1 in recruiting every year now for quite some time, if not #1 then I can't see any rating less than #3. I seriously believe a true dynasty could be built at Kentucky with Calipari. Congratulations Cats!!!
everyone who is offended by verbal, he doesnt mean it. He is furious because the longest running soap opera was cancelled, I am not kidding, go to his homepage. He is a sissy who comes in here and tries to start sissy fights with UK fans and pretend he's tough, just ignore him.
Just because you have more wins than anybody doesn't mean crap. You've been around longer than almost all other teams. I'm not a fan by any means, but UCLA has the right to brag about being the best. They had 7 straight Titles, which is all UK has.
yeah we got beat by vandy, but vandy has gotten alot better since we beat them earlier. I think you know what I mean getting blown out of the water by 40 :).
I dig the video. I'm a huge UNC fan and just have one request...can you take down Florida this year in the SEC? Please? I'd just like for their whole program to be taken down a notch. I'm getting really tired of seeing their bumper stickers as they clog up the North Carolina roads with bad drivers. Thanks. I'm out.
Not as much as IU did. You've had consecutive seasons with more than 20 losses. We've NEVER had a 20-loss season. You've had more losses in the last 2 years than we have in the last 4 and that includes the years Billy "couldn't coach himself out of a wet paper bag" Gillispie ran this team.
@ortleyman I didn't say he was a class act, I just said he wasn't a sleazeball. But no shit Rupp was racist, over half of the people in Kentucky were still racist when he coached.
What's up? Certainly not IU's program. Finished the season with 21 losses, huh? How sad. You're shitting me. You like the Braves too? Never thought you and I would actually have a common interest. Can't wait to see Heyward mash the ball this season. I'm also ecstatic that they signed Glaus. Before he joined the team, he was the only non-Brave I was a fan of.
@GoodTimeCharlie1000 I'm not going to argue whether someone who coached for my team was racist or not. Excuse me if I was mistaken, that's not something I've cared to research.
I like Pear but he is just killing time until he is full time on ESPN, he's not a great coach. Coach Cal took UMass to the final four. UMass, for pete's sake! And he made Memphis a national player despite being in a second rate conference. Yes...UK is back.
JOHN WALL COMING SOON TO THE NBA.....Frank Ramsey and and I believe Cliff Hagan are in the basketball hall of fame I admit that was a while back... but Prince, Rondo are pretty good we shall see Duke has shitty pros too
get off kentuckts back i mean Billy G is playing with tubbies stars and has recruited what i see as the best freshman in college right now. Just u wait, it ownt be long till those 16-0 sec records come back
ok..UK lost to VMI this season; UofL lost to WKU. tough losses for both programs but January 4th will prove who the better team is..... UK, of course!! love this video, btw.
do u honestly think we sit around and think about it, when you are used to being the best, it comes as second nature. So, you sit there and keep loosing conference games and playing catch up and we will keep being Kentucky
Speaking of choking. what exactly have you been choking on my friend. I just checked your page out, what the hell is up with all the daytime soap opera crap? No I get it, the little sis comment I made about UNC really hit home didnt baby girl?
@ortleyman Calipari is in no way a sleazeball, and Adolph Rupp just reflected the civil beliefs held by the majority of people in the south at his time. Regardless, the only statistics I see is the program with the most wins in NCAA basketball. I'll take that any day. All the shit you're saying is speculation and objective.
@GoodTimeCharlie1000 Don't you love people that single out Rupp as a racist when I bet there were a shitload of schools that didn't recruit black players back then? I wonder how many UNC teams had even 1 black player during Rupp's time. People can bring up Glory Road all they want. Rupp's own son refused to watch that movie because of how they portrayed his father so that says something. Maybe people should look into whether Coach K is racist. Seems like Dook recruits more whites than blacks.
You sir had a terrible season last year. I know we lost to GW and you are gonna hate this also. UNC lost to a mid-major two years ago agaisnt Santa-Carla and they ended up winning the NCAA Championhip. Michigan lost to D1AA App.State and Oregon(Though Oregon is good) since then they won 8 straight.
We are loving us some Pelphrey!!! His love and passion for the game is incredible. He's doing a real good job in recruiting right now. We're very young this year, but we may surprise some folks!

I love him!!!
Tayshaun Prince is one of my favorite players in the NBA, what a solid player from top to bottom.
He will be a good coach in 15 years.
His love and passion for the game is incredible
Just like when he was playing for us.
To us in Kentucky, there is no greater sports team than the kentucky wildcats. Where Boston has the Celtics, Los Angeles has the Lakers, Chicago has the Bulls, we have the Wildcats. To us they're bigger than any team in the NBA, and I'm so proud to call myself a wildcats fan and will be loyal to them until the day I die
Great video! It really is a tradition unlike any other: through the laughter and through the tears. Go Cats!!!
Unfreakin'believeable. This is the greatest video in the history of youtube. I am in love with whoever made this.
This was made on the 29th anniversery of the 1978 NCAA Championship win over Duke. Goose was golden.
I'm glad you like him and I wish him the best.
this is a great video.. uk fans have to be the most loyal ive ever seen. We'll be getting back to the ships in a few years....
This video gave me goosebumps. Awesome video. I can't wait to get back there!!!
weird seeing ancient-old comments
Last night against WVU was pure example of Kentucky Basketball.
WE got them next year cats!! Gillespie is a new era. Bringing home # 8!!!! CATS!!
yeah kentucky fans are the most loyal to there team..we make it through the good and the bad times of uk.. more good though :) give this new team some time..they will be great.. and billy will keep the real tradition of Kentucky..which is to WIN!!
I still teary eyed.
My top Three UK moments
1.Desroying Number one Florida.
2.Coming back to beat Duke.
3.Winning it all in '98.
Number 8 is coming soon.
Breaking News: UK Equipment Manager Bill Keightley Mr. Wildcat has passed away tonight. He was 81. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
great job!!!!!!!! glad that the tradition is being carried on through when john caliper got her :)
If this doesn't get your kentucky juices flowing, you dont have a pulse.
Nice, would be awesome to see an updated version
I remember somebody on ESPN said they will go undefeated. I loled.
As I have been to nearly 70 different college basketball games across the country (including rupp about 10 times) I can tell you that there are more passionate fans at Indiana, Duke, UNC, Kansas than Kentucky the past 15 years.
I love this team.
uk is the best tradition ever in any sport nobody can say anything about that
@adc140 It's not a Bandwagon, It's a Legacy. It's Tradition, its THE MOTHER FUCKING BIG BLUE NATION!!
Doesn't it!?! Thank you for recognizing UK's prominence in Basketball. That is particularly telling coming from a RedSox (and Celtics???) fan! The Celts certainly could lay some claim to that mantle!
best basketball team ever!D-1,D-2,D-3,no one can compare to our records-
-most ncaa appearences
-most WINS of all time
-2nd most championships
-3rd best coach next to bob knight and john wooden
-most tournament wins of all time
i may be 11, but with this tradition i know a lot about kentucky basketball
ps-GREAT song choice dream on goes to ucla,duke,north carolina,and indiana
Us Wildcat Fans are the greatest ever. Go Billy. Go Patterson get number 8.
I know that. I just like to remind everybody that UK is back on track.
Best UK video I've seen.
they should show this at rupp before the game begins. good one.
UNC is the Greatest choke artists.
Mainly because they've been around longer than almost all other teams.
The race to 2000 wins was suppose to be close. We've got 2009 wins now and UNC hasn't even reached 2000 yet. Kansas might pass them and get to 2000 before they do. The Heels look like they're headed for the NIT. How the mighty have fallen. Bring home #8, guys! GO BIG BLUE!!!!
On behalf of Big Blue Nation: Thank You! We like to think so, too, but getting objective support helps! GO HOGS, too!
I love the Tennesee comments. Looks like it's a whole new game in the SEC East now. Go Cats!
all the comments below just prove that UK has a better program than anyone else. Cat fans will always defend their boys and never stop believing. no person can ever deny UK has the most loyal fan base; take a look at Rupp at any given game, doesnt matter who it is, its FULL!!!
that gives u a tear in your eye great song for this video GO CATS
The 7 dislikes are Indiana, Louisville, Duke, UNC, Kansas, Tenneessee and Florida fans.
anyone who doesnt think kentucky has the best basketball program in history seriously needs to look at the record books (most wins out of any team). and if that still doesnt convince u, i suggest u take a trip to Rupp and check out all our banners! GO CATS!
Yeah I did. UK Rocks You and Other UK Fans Rock. We have the greatest fanbase ever!!!
Rest in peace MR WIldcat
Cats never went anywhere...Cats are eternal...always have been, always will be...
I'm getting teary eyed. Go Cats
#8 will come in the Billy G. era, and very soon!
Just because Kentucky has had some great teams and more wins than everyone else, doesn't mean they are the best basketball program ever on this planet. You guys just think you are. And no, I am not a Tennessee fan.
Everyone should fear the Cats and Cal now!
It doesn't matter who thinks we are the best we know we are the best in history might not have a great team this year but will be better next year. Its a fact Kentucky school in collage history.
Well, I hate to say it, but Kentucky has just opened the flood gates for every recruit in America! Kentucky will probably be #1 in recruiting every year now for quite some time, if not #1 then I can't see any rating less than #3. I seriously believe a true dynasty could be built at Kentucky with Calipari. Congratulations Cats!!!
Great video...GO CATS!!!! GO BIG BLUE!!!!
who's #1 now?you guys have a long road ahead of you. Maybe you guys will get into the NIT.
Not a Wildcat fan, but Kentucky is college basketball!!!
i love this banter on youtube fans say the stupidest stuff yea we dont choke do we that is why we havent been to a final 4 since 98
gilliespie has got a 5,5,4,4, before he even coach a game another dynasty in place.
We'll be back like GW last year.
AWESOME AWESOME JOB!!!
Well i hope you are correct, of course time will tell but as for the future...it looks very BLUE!
Go Wildcats!
Great Vid thanks for posting !!!!!
everyone who is offended by verbal, he doesnt mean it. He is furious because the longest running soap opera was cancelled, I am not kidding, go to his homepage. He is a sissy who comes in here and tries to start sissy fights with UK fans and pretend he's tough, just ignore him.
TENNESEE IS THE KING OF COLLEGE SPORTS
Just because you have more wins than anybody doesn't mean crap. You've been around longer than almost all other teams. I'm not a fan by any means, but UCLA has the right to brag about being the best. They had 7 straight Titles, which is all UK has.
7 days until the real games begin.
Tradition!!!And more coming soon.
amazing vid even better team
yeah we got beat by vandy, but vandy has gotten alot better since we beat them earlier. I think you know what I mean getting blown out of the water by 40 :).
I'm pretty sure that Tayshan Prince will be the best and have you not heard of Pat Riley? The guy who had more wins then Phil Jackson?
This is the Greatest Tradition. GO CATS Number 8 will come I Know it!
I dig the video. I'm a huge UNC fan and just have one request...can you take down Florida this year in the SEC? Please? I'd just like for their whole program to be taken down a notch. I'm getting really tired of seeing their bumper stickers as they clog up the North Carolina roads with bad drivers. Thanks. I'm out.
Not as much as IU did. You've had consecutive seasons with more than 20 losses. We've NEVER had a 20-loss season. You've had more losses in the last 2 years than we have in the last 4 and that includes the years Billy "couldn't coach himself out of a wet paper bag" Gillispie ran this team.
It starts tonight.
Hey at least we kept our number one for 200 or more consective hours. You kept it for 29 hours.
@ortleyman I didn't say he was a class act, I just said he wasn't a sleazeball. But no shit Rupp was racist, over half of the people in Kentucky were still racist when he coached.
1996 wildcats were the best
Coach Cal will win at UK and as a diehard fan thats good news but he is still coach Cal and he will leave for the NBA sooner or later.
What's up? Certainly not IU's program. Finished the season with 21 losses, huh? How sad.
You're shitting me. You like the Braves too? Never thought you and I would actually have a common interest. Can't wait to see Heyward mash the ball this season. I'm also ecstatic that they signed Glaus. Before he joined the team, he was the only non-Brave I was a fan of.
MEEKS 54 player of the year....... definatly the sec
Since you're a Hogs fan, Are you excited for Pelphrey?
@GoodTimeCharlie1000 I'm not going to argue whether someone who coached for my team was racist or not. Excuse me if I was mistaken, that's not something I've cared to research.
cats took #8!!!
hell yesssssssss!
hell no the vols have the deepest team in the country this yr
I like Pear but he is just killing time until he is full time on ESPN, he's not a great coach. Coach Cal took UMass to the final four. UMass, for pete's sake! And he made Memphis a national player despite being in a second rate conference. Yes...UK is back.
JOHN WALL COMING SOON TO THE NBA.....Frank Ramsey and and I believe Cliff Hagan are in the basketball hall of fame I admit that was a while back... but Prince, Rondo are pretty good we shall see Duke has shitty pros too
who thinks we will get patterson and lucas? all of the ul fans are thinking they will beat us next year. yea right. GO CATS!!
get off kentuckts back i mean Billy G is playing with tubbies stars and has recruited what i see as the best freshman in college right now. Just u wait, it ownt be long till those 16-0 sec records come back
plus, I was 21 when I made my account, note the 21 on my name, not sure why it says 16. Not 16 though.
ok..UK lost to VMI this season; UofL lost to WKU. tough losses for both programs but January 4th will prove who the better team is.....
UK, of course!!
love this video, btw.
do u honestly think we sit around and think about it, when you are used to being the best, it comes as second nature. So, you sit there and keep loosing conference games and playing catch up and we will keep being Kentucky
Speaking of choking. what exactly have you been choking on my friend. I just checked your page out, what the hell is up with all the daytime soap opera crap? No I get it, the little sis comment I made about UNC really hit home didnt baby girl?
Sure if you'll beat Duke in ACC. I'd rather UNC than Duke.
First place in SEC.
You Bet!!!
2000!!!!
@ortleyman Calipari is in no way a sleazeball, and Adolph Rupp just reflected the civil beliefs held by the majority of people in the south at his time. Regardless, the only statistics I see is the program with the most wins in NCAA basketball. I'll take that any day. All the shit you're saying is speculation and objective.
100-71
1 down, 5 to go.
And boy was I right.
to bad kentucky has the most wins in NCAA history
@GoodTimeCharlie1000 Don't you love people that single out Rupp as a racist when I bet there were a shitload of schools that didn't recruit black players back then? I wonder how many UNC teams had even 1 black player during Rupp's time. People can bring up Glory Road all they want. Rupp's own son refused to watch that movie because of how they portrayed his father so that says something. Maybe people should look into whether Coach K is racist. Seems like Dook recruits more whites than blacks.
I hate the Bruins. And I am done here. You have your opinions, which I respect. So lets just leave it that.
You sir had a terrible season last year. I know we lost to GW and you are gonna hate this also. UNC lost to a mid-major two years ago agaisnt Santa-Carla and they ended up winning the NCAA Championhip. Michigan lost to D1AA App.State and Oregon(Though Oregon is good) since then they won 8 straight.
i just wonder why non kentucky fans look up kentucky basketball i mean do they think their cool talking shit on the internet
