Our sports, arguably had our worst week in a calendar year or more. Can we not stand prosperity and separate ourselves from that bunch?

No. Never have. Never will.
The two aren't related. We have a young basketball and baseball team. Everyone that pays attention was expecting growing pains this season.
You left out women's basketballQuote:

maybe coach Vic has been spending too much time on Elitedawgs?
What got me were people writing off the UK loss by saying "It was senior night on the road. You knew they were going to come out fired up." followed up yesterday by "We should change how we do senior day. It makes our players too emotional." After laying the turd at UK, I'm suprised we kept it as close as we did yesterday. You could see that one coming from a mile away and it had nothing to do with senior day.Quote:

Also loses #1 seed unless we kick ass in the SEC tournament.
Not all of a sudden. We've gotten lucky quite a few times this year and have had some stretches to where we can't hit the broad side of a barn with our shots.Quote:
