What Are You Mad At!?

Don’t get mad anymore. Like others said, apathy set in a good while ago.

Now I’m just trying to muster up enough energy to give even half a sh!t.
 
I’m no longer mad at individual losses..figured we were gonna lose and didn’t even care that much
I’m not even mad about UK basketball itself…I grieve the loss of my program . We are now IU.

I AM mad that Kentucky Basketball was the one thing I shared with my dad that didn’t include my siblings. My dad died in 2018…just realized the timing of that
I am mad that I have drawers full of UK gear, and work clothes I won’t wear now because of the color. And y’all I look DAMN good in Kentucky blue.
I’m PISSED that there are still so many fans still support that jackass in the coaches seat.

I like this group of guys..and wish them all the best
But until Calipari is gone ..I’m done
 
I feel the answers in this thread. From apathy, to disappointment, to it's just not a priority in life anymore, to anger because it easily shouldn't be like this with seemingly simple fixes. It's a lot of things.

The one thing I know is that, when it comes down to it, this is no longer Kentucky basketball, and Cal is the cause. I don't know if I can check out totally, but it seems like it's becoming a possibility. And it breaks my heart.
This exactly
Well stated

I get up on mornings like these and am just generally pissed. Mad at the refs. Mad at Cal. Mad that other teams’ no-stars continue to defeat our “NBA” players. I’m mad at myself for being mad. I just want to be numb but don’t know how. Anybody got any pointers for matching my emotion to the teams results? For those that are able to just go on whistling, what’s the trick?
Remind yourself that it is kids playing a game. Hopefully you have better things going on in your life to worry about. I get the frustration and the being mad. The Wisconsin game is when I realized that I have to quit letting kids younger than my grandkids dictate my emotions.

You know what REALLY makes me angry?

The fact that there are still Cal supporters out there. I see no justification for it.
It’s probably just one troll with many burner accounts. Anyone that supports this crap any longer is not a fan of UK. This has been unacceptable for a long time.
 
Mad that my passion for UK basketball is almost gone. Cal has slowly stolen it away, and I feel it would come back in a hurry given the right administrative adjustments, but I ain’t getting any younger.

Thanks Cal
 
I'm at that same age and absolutely give a crap. If you didn't give a crap why are you here and posting? All of this is so unacceptable and I do get the apathy since the only control we have is none except to post here. Seeing the same coaching decisions (or lack thereof) year to year and expecting a different result is so frustrating.
Well when you get to be 68 you don't give a crap anymore. Losses come easier especially since Cal got his lifetime contract and you know UK has no recourse.
So I’m guessing that you guys are like me , realizing we will not catch UCLA in our lifetimes . And right now, wondering if we we win another championship at all in our lifetimes.

I love your posts and your take on this mess. Triple C has made me and a lot of other loyal fans feel EXACTLY as you do.

Like last night, I woke up in the middle of the night, as I usually do after those kind of losses. I'm well on my way to 68, and was born a UK fan, so a long time in the UK saddle. This descent we've experienced, some of it very embarrassing, is fatiguing and demoralizing, especially when teams like Duke and Kansas seem to have better luck and more good fortune. That is maddening. I have to die much more than I have already before I lose my love and interest for Kentucky Basketball. It will come one day just before I check out for good from this hotel, but I'm still "all in." I'm sure we'll win another championship or two before I take my last earthly breath, but it's looking increasingly less likely that it will be with Calipari. He's just not built for March...at least not anymore.
 
I used to get mad and it ruined my whole day. Calipari has taken my fandom away. I’m just used to underachieving at this point and it doesn’t really matter if we lose a game. Sad that it has come to this.
 
I’m mad at John replacing titles with draft picks. Losing and winning not on purpose. Plus he does not watch film unless it’s little house on the prairie porn edition which is weird I think.

They aren’t kids. Just because you’re old doesn’t make young men “kids”

I'm mad that expectations have now been lowered to at or lower than Tubby years. We are told we are great because ........... hey we got nba all stars. YAY..
 
kinda mad we're sweating a win IN RUPP against a top sec FOOTBALL POWER, just to keep our ncaa BASKETBALL tournament chances alive. Yeah, we've sucked for awhile, but this one feels weird...and a little deflating, win or lose.
 
Mad? Lmao..the Reds first spring training is today. I’m up at 4:30am in excitement. They play at 3. I’ll be going back and forth between them and UK

Cal and Barnhart suck and I hate the one and done and the portal. College basketball feels shallow to me. But I’m not mad about anything. I put my pants on the same way, whether my teams win or lose
 
I am mostly mad that Cal doesn't have the character or the conscience to actually do his job while accepting that huge salary. He's just taking checks and not doing the job that he's being paid for.

His job is to make the UK Basketball program the very best it can be. It clearly doesn't bother him to not put any effort into it.

That's what I'm mad at. Even if our wins, losses and results were the same, I'd not be mad or want him gone if we could tell he was giving 100% to elevate the UK program. He's giving maybe 25% effort. And that might be generous....just like his salary.

That's why we are the greatest of all blue bloods...since it began with Rupp in 1930. Almost 100 years of consistent success. We'll come back with a vengeance.
You should know your history better. Johnny Mauer preceded Rupp. He had a won/loss % of .741.
