Good point, now that you mention it, does any one remember the Kentucky teams of the late 70's?
Now I'm dating myself, but things get better in sports over time, there is a lot of talent now, it is just spread out.
This is like comparing Jordan with Chamberlain - Both great players in their day.
Who is the Greatest?
Well, I will you tell this, they are all great. The game has changed, I'll give you that, but greatness has not.
Kentucky is a great team, the coach I don,t know. But I liked what he said a couple weeks ago when he said something like, Hey getting beat is not the end of the world, you can go play your best game, do everything right and still lose.
He has kept his team's feet grounded on the floor. When your dealing with kid's this age, and your unbeaten and you make a statement like that, leads me to believe they can go go unbeaten and that he knows what he's doing.
No disrespect to you Train. And I mean that. But I've been around for awhile in life, and the key to winning is you have to understand that you can be beaten in the morning. If I read Calipari rite, this team can go unbeaten.
That make's him a great coach for this team, in this month, this year. Greatness is fleeting, Give him and his team the respect they deserve. Again, Wisconsin will beat them.
With much respect, enjoy
