Did I hear correctly...

[jamasterj]

I'm watching the ootsa vs. wku game and the announcer just said with confidence, "there is no other team in this conference with more history or tradition than western Kentucky." SMH

Maybe he was talking about moonshine?

I was expecting for his colleague to step in and correct him by reminding him of our little school tucked away in west Texas. Nada, oh well, must be millennials.

Who was the commentator? I'll 'correct' him on Twitter.

 

[allminer]

I loved this gem towards the end of the game, "and he quickly goes to the basket quick."

I'm not sure who said it. But it could have been Ray Crawford. If It was his partner then he is responsible for no correcting him.

According to WK fans on the C-USA board, WKU has 23 trips to the NCAA to UTEP's 17. They have 1 final 4 appearance and 0 championships to UTEP's 1 final 4 and 1 championship. And so forth and so on. I think UTEP's national championship trumps the rest.

I don't think that's debatable.

There's someone here who probably would.

So I guess Disney will make a WKU movie soon? I mean, if their history trumps ours..

 

[shyminer81]

It's like Lebron saying he is the greatest before the rings... Championships should be worth more points that just a trip to the tourney... They actually won the whole damn thing! Go Miners and f ODU, and WKU too

Then by his logic The Buffalo Bills must be a dynasty as well. Four straight Super Bowl (losses) speak for themselves.

I think my favorite moment in their storied history was when they lost to UTSA by 4 points.

Which thread? I can't find it.

I think he is referring to this one.

Kentuckians are really nice people in my opinion and WKU is an asset to the conference, too. They're program just hasn't been what is was prior to their arrival CUSA. Second, the commentators tend to get caught up in the moment of the game and "alternative facts" rolls off their tongue. I'd take some of those commentators over Teich any day of the week to be honest.

This. I'll take Mickey Mouse doing commentary over Steve Yellen.

Yo Western Kentucky Basketball I know you have a lot of history, I'm really proud of you.... I'mma let you finish but UTEP has way more basketball history.
