I agree with this. It's one thing to "root" for your team as we all do, but to think the players and the coach is perfect is being plain unobjective. Those type posters, I give no credence to.I root for UK, and I'll do it until I'm dead. But theres a small segment on this board that takes the Calipari "pumping" to a whole new level. It's almost sick. You even have certain posters who downgrade this program before they will downgrade anything Cal does. This is the same crowd that if you say cal is anything other than an A+ floor coach you are a hater basher troll etc...
I love Cal and I love UK but I have no problem forming my own opinions or trying to look at everything objectively.
The sunshine "pumpers" are SOME of the worst this board has to offer.

Some people are negative and some tend to be positive.
To me life is too short to be negative all the time.
Having said that, you can be realistic and not be negative.
As our team stands, a title seems unlikely, but that doesn't mean we can't hope for a title and enjoy the season.
I H A T E the term "sunshine pumpers" because I associate it with the horrible, negative football board on this site. Ever go over there? Bitch, bitch, bitch in between constant calls to " far Mitch". It is a sewer of negativity mixed, oddly, with a sense of entitlement that Kentucky football deserves accolades and perks it has never earned. NEVER.
Some of the most negative posters on Rafters come from the football board. Hold your nose and go check it out. Awful.
Chill Rhavicc, not about YOU. IMO the board is generally very negative, always trashing the players, coaches,CM Newton (hahaha), Mitch,etc.
Not ALL of the posters but many. How's that?
Actually the most overused word on this board is troll.Everyone is assumed to be a troll if they dare question our team in any way.

We do have Trolls, we also have negative nancies and sunshine pumpers. Don't like the names? Come up with new ones.
Trolls are rival fans here for the sole purpose of pissing everyone off.
Negative Nancies are not happy about anything, jump on all the negatives but for some reason are still fans.
There are definitely sunshine pumpers, never allow any critique of Cal, and think we should be ranked #1 no matter our roster and that every player is an AA and that we will get every recruit and if you disagree you are stupid.
I think the trolls and neg nancies become so bad, the sunshine pumpers come out and defend vigorously and those that are really fans but may have legitimate critique, or question Cal, or the makeup of the roster are caught in the middle.
Everybody gets pissed at each other until a rival fan shows up and we unite and destroy his entire internet being. And then we resume b!tching at each other.
Sunshine pumpers are like groupies, they follow the team and the coach because it's cool.
?...all UL and Pitino do is just keep winning (national title in 2013 while we were first round loss in the NIT), not to mention a few plays away from being in the final four just this past season...
I don't think Ill ever get over 3 straight shot clock violations against Wisconsin.
The Debbie downer and you must be a Louisville fan or want Tubby/BCG back if you have concerns about next season aren't any better.
The biggest issue is attackers who are obviously clueless. (Cut-nets, would be one in this discussion).
There are sunshine pumpers, but it's hard to be one currently at UK. Record speaks for themselves. Chicken little is kind of annoying at this moment, but i guess when you don't have control of things. People do get a little nerve racking at times.
The critics are the worst. They someone materialized this notion that they know everything about college basketball as if they been in thick of things and actually ran college basketball. Yet they lack any capability and someone attacking the very coach that won us national title and is in hall of fame. That to me is clear definition of INSANITY.
It's one thing to criticize Tubby's last few years and Billy's nightmarish two year run. Don't see any logics behind criticizing last 6 years.
My god you are butchering the king's english. I feel like I'm reading Mark Twain when I read your posts. Why do you struggle so much with when to use plural and singular nouns?
I'd still rather a post littered with errors than anything you post.
I would rather read people being overly optimistic than read the posters that think if we can't go ten deep then we suck. This past year spoiled a lot of our not so smart fans.
