This is why i dont understand some of the over top hate/obsession by some of those two programs. Before 99 i understood the duke hate/envy. But now? I dont get it. We`ve made duke and uk our b#tch since 99..since 1998, there have been 9 final fours involving kentucky/duke both. we stopped them each twice, the other 5 times....you know how it ends

AMEN!!since 1998, there have been 9 final fours involving kentucky/duke both. we stopped them each twice, the other 5 times....you know how it ends
As a Pats fan, I have to respect your point. The Giants are like Uconn.....they don't go every year, but when they do, they usually win.The rest of the college basketball world should hail us as heroes. Wisconsin is the only other school to beat either Dook or UK in the Final Four.
Since 1999, Dook and UK are 0-4 in the FF against us, and 9-1 in the FF against everyone else.
As a Giants fan, this is similar to how nobody else can stop the Patriots in the Super Bowl except us.

As a UConn/Giants/Sox fan, it's been feast or famine for the last 5-10 years, absolutely no middle ground. The end of each year brings either elation or disgruntlement.
I'm not really into marketing or salesmanship but seeing we can't sell the Big East, Madison Square Garden, Big Monday, anymore, this fact should be a central point in our recruiting. The cornerstone of it. That is not a small fact seeing KY and Duke will always be there now with the age limit and the way they recruit.
Recruiting new fans, maybe. Not recruiting players. High school kids don't give a s*** about winning titles, just what gets them exposure and a high draft pick.
Huh? I didn't say that at all. Was grudgingly giving Giants fan credit for knocking Pats off twice. Giants = Uconn....don't go every year, but when they do, they make it count.I didn't realize the Pats went every year?

How the hell did the Sox make it into your tool bag? So you're a pretty good guy, not great?
Recruits don't care about winning national championships? HUH?
My eyes are bleeding from the stupidity.
Then why do Texas A&M and Florida State have 4 Top-100 recruits apiece coming in for 2015?
Why do top recruits flock to a Kentucky program that's won one title since the 1990s? The same question can be asked of Arizona as well.
Because there are more players than available scholarships. Why aren't those players going to UConn, Kansas, Kentucky, Duke, or UNC since all are much better at putting players in the NBA than TAMU or FSU?
Look, some recruits care about more than winning a national championship. But to say they only care about getting to the next level, when 95% of them won't ever make the next level is mind-numbingly stupid. There are over 100 quality recruits every year. Only 60+ get drafted yearly, and they're competing not only against college players, but international players too.
You really think those kids at Kentucky, a program that has been to 4 final fours in 5 years didn't think they were going to win a national championship. Please just stop with the insanity.
