This is 2024, not 2012. In 2024 they are laughing at us. If you said to a Purdue or Tennessee fan enjoy your Elite 8 and Final 4, we won a national championship 12 years ago, they would bust out laughing at you and ask you how baseball season is going.

No Kentucky fan is laughing about this year's finish. It'd be like a Kentucky football fan bragging about one win and a better finish than LSU or Tennessee though. There's levels to it and Purdue or Tennessee thinking that they're on Kentucky's level is the only thing that would be laughable.

Now you're pretending like it's not the last FOUR years? How many years of failure until you acknowledge programs have passed us up? Saying Purdue and Tennessee aren't on our level because we won stuff in the (more and more distant) past is like saying they aren't on UCLA's level or even Louisville's level. Nobody's buying that Tennessee and Purdue haven't been above our level for the last 4 years, which includes TODAY. Not to mention all the other teams that have passed us up. I don't want to talk about 2012, or Joe B. Hall, or Rick Pitino, or Adolph Rupp. Nobody cares. St. Peters's coach didn't care, Oakland's coach didn't care. Talking about TODAY, and TODAY our program is in the ditch and everybody is laughing at us.
