I would like to dedicate this post to my fellow bloggers with respect to their previous comments when I said UK would make it into the Big Dance.
I realize that not everyone is still convinced that the Wildcat's will make it on Selection Sunday and while the SEC is down this year, going 12-4 in a major conference and almost upsetting UT at UT without Patterson and Meeks, I say they are in.
So I just wanted to remind the reader of some previous comments.
March 2, 2008 - Jimmy Dinsmore - "Doing my best Jim Mora voice here: SEC Title? NCAA Tourney Bid? Holy crap, are you kidding me? Postseason? Even with Patterson they weren't going to win the SEC or get an at-large bid to the NCAA".
Feb 25, 2008 - Dan Clasgens - "It doesn't matter whether or not UK can make a run in this year's mediocre SEC or not, they have no chance at making any noise in March.
Feb 26, 2008 - Jeremy Fischer - "I'm tired of hearing this garbage from the insane Wildcat fans. Let me break this down for you. You only have 2 options of making the Big Dance: 1) You win the SEC Tourney 2) You win out, then make a deep run in the SEC Tourney (like to the final game). Either are longshots. Stop with the "we have a chance to make the dance garbage. You don't. You won't. Live with it."
As a UK fan I have to say "We do. We will. We are going DANCING!!!"
