The NIT was the bigger tourney in the 40s by a lot

This argument, and others like it, is only valid through about 1943 or so. After that, the two events evened out considerably in the middle and late 40s, with the NCAA completely overtaking it in short order thereafter.

It’s an overblown fallacy.

Back in the 1940s, the NIT was actually the premier postseason tournament

Jesus…this fairytale has been overblown by so many people over the years and it is just untrue. Those who continue to spew it only have an agenda, usually promoting their teams past NIT success or lack of NCAA success.

Yes, the NIT was more prestigious back in the day compared to its current iteration, but this had more to do with the NCAA being significantly smaller (number of teams invited) which allowed the NIT to have a higher caliber of field. However, it was never really considered more prestigious than winning the NCAA.

That’s the PG version of the UK wildcat logo. In 1994, UK edited out the infamous penis tongue.

7’3 is not really a “good tall” and 5’5” isn’t as bad as you think, although it’s about the floor of reasonable.

The benefits of being tall start maxing out at 6’3” or so before it becomes a rather awkward ugliness after that. Most 5’5” people are just generally better looking and more attractive than the majority of people pushing 7 foot.

Without doubt UK has become a great rivalry in BD era and beyond. It should remain so now given UF’s ascension as a program.

Florida got on UK’s radar back in the 90’s with Kruger and players like Dewayne Swxhinihshfhtnnous, the meat hook, and Dan Cross.

The Arkansas thing in the 90’s was red hot from 92-95, but burned out just as quick as then they proceeded to become fairly irrelevant for about 25 years. They are a good case study for UK to try and avoid right now.

If you’re just hitting the carpool lane, something along the lines of Cooper Endeavor or Cooper ProControl. Maybe General Rt45, if size fits.

Michelin Defenders are excellent and not overly expensive, but are really good for durability, which you may not need.

There are a hundred different options depending on your needs. If you really want to save money, than just shop by price because most will all be about the same. There are no magic unicorn tires when saving money.

Sidenote … what a great thread. All the SEC support is very cool to see.

Honestly, Arkansas is the only true POS fanbase in conference who like to eat their own.

Congrats A&M! Awesome performance. Had me worked up a bit watching that match.

which going by your obsession with what vehicle

It’s not the vehicle but it’s impossible not to notice and make fun of the weird owners who go around calling their clan “Jeepers” while saying phrases like “it’s a Jeep thing, you wouldn’t understand” and apparently, claiming it’s a cheat code with the ladies. These people take themselves entirely too seriously to not make fun of them a little bit.

I don't think these people calling Jeep owners gay realize what kind of cheat code simply having a jeep and not being a weirdo was in college

"Sorority girls like them" oh no, how awful

---

My roommate in college had a Jeep. Not going to lie…it did grab attention from some girls…for about 5 minutes. Then I pulled up in a Ford Escort and stole all that attention just by being better looking and a more interesting person.

Cheat code…good lord.

The Jeep owner community lost a lot of respect with “It’s a Jeep thing, you wouldn’t understand”.

actually, new Jeep people hijacked that from old Jeep people.

What is your definition of old vs new…because this was a thing going back 30 years ago…primarily with overweight lesbian looking women.
