UNC vs UK Alumni Game?
- Thread starter ACokeForRoy
- Start date
The article says the game would be during Calipari's fantasy camp. I would prefer our alumni not help with gaining attention for anything Cal does.
Bad idea. Why should we help Slimy pimp his camp? Bump the bumpkins.
I totally agree with the two posters above . . not a fan of this at all.
That's a horrible mismatch.

Jones
Cousins
Davis
BACKUPS
Lamb

It would be a slaughter.

He was still on the team though. Not that it really matters.
You seriously looked at that mismatch and picked out something that didn't truly matter to nitpick it.
You have 2-3 sure-fire hall of famers for Kentucky.
Did any of the UK kids go to school long enough to be considered alumni?
He was ruled ineligible to play college ball, plain and simple . . he may have practiced for a few weeks with UK, but, everybody knew he wasn't going to play college ball.
Moses Malone was going to play at Maryland, but, was ruled academically ineligible, should we consider him a Maryland alumni . . ?
LOL
I think on a neutral site for charity would be awesome.. but that's me. Highly unlikely that all the players would play for risk of injury.
He verbally committed but never actually did due to going to the draft... but for shits and giggles to make it fairer, why not. lol
Geeze guys, it's a basketball game to raise money for charity and the outcome means jack sh*t. Remind me of the negatives again please.
But yeah, probably be a bit of a whoopin'. Who cares?

Here's a few negatives...
1- It's more exposure for Slimy.
2- It's more exposure for kaintuck
3- It'll bring more of the idiots among the kaintuck fanbase here. I don't mind the decent ones but they are few and far between. We tend to get the flaming idiots.
But aren't we going to get some exposure out of this too? I mean, would you rather it be duke? The game would happen regardless. I'm pretty stoked it's us.
I'll never be "stoked" about it. Slimy has a pro day where scouts come in and watch his players. He has WWW taking care of any problems Slimy can't be caught handling. He has rappers pimping him to high schoolers and now he's going to have recruits at Rupp watching this alumni game. It's nothing but another recruiting tool for Slimy and he has enough of those already. Bump kaintuck.

This is how I see it. Kentucky already had an alumni game between its own players. This is simply bringing in UNC for the ride. With the roster imbalance, you guys have nothing to lose. We win, hey they were supposed to win plus it's at Rupp. You win, bragging rights against all the flamers who come here. Supposedly it's something Wall and Barnes got going. Cal isn't even involved.
From a pure basketball POV I would love to see it. I can't look at it like its a debate on military spending or immigration. Its basketball and I think it would be pretty entertaining. On a neutral site of course.
If it ever happens I think it will be like the NBA all-star game....NO defense. I think Kent. would win but why not one in the dump & one in The Dean Dome. They are all millionaires after all whats one more plane flight.
Not to be too picky, but sure-fire? I'm not sure any other than Davis are HOFers with perfect health, and none of these guys have done enough to this point to merit that have they?
Cousins and Davis are pretty sure-fire barring a miracle turn around to their careers.
This isn't our first rodeo when it comes to Alumni games,And I doubt very much you are supposed to win IF you win,I take that as a slap toward our players.I would take our 2009 team vs your Alumni.
I think it would be great. And don`t sell yourself short , it could wind up a very good game that could go either way. it would bring exposure for both schools . If it turned out a success then the next year have it in Chapel Hill. The key would be to enjoy it but not get bent out of shape over it. I doubt that the players will lose any sleep over it.
I think it's a great idea! Because it's two of the top programs in College Basketball history it would be a great charitable event. P.S Kentucky fans are no worse than any other fan base. It would be easy to point out idiots from any fanbase in sports. Rivalries are all about talkin smack! It's part of the fun. And yes I'm trolling! lol
I just didn't include anyone from the last draft because we haven't seen what they can do in the NBA yet. No other reason.
The funny thing is when it comes to games like this.. The players are all friends and their gonna get out there and entertain. The game will not be serious. We the fans have a completely different perspective. I think it would be a lot of fun.. It would be really awesome to see Sam Bowie and Jordan get in the game. That would make it special.
And here it is.. Its official.. I almost want to take that drive from Atlanta to check it out.

Assembling a UNC team for a return trip to Rupp Arena on Sept 13 to take on the Cats! This time the result will be different! #AlumniGame
Should be a great event between two blue bloods. Plus, it is for charity. Doesn't get much better than that. Hopefully they can do this once a year. This year at Rupp, next year at Dean Dome.

I'm totally against it but my kids are dying to go, so I guess I'll be there.
