I stopped watching (as a die hard fan) about 4–5 years ago after attending quite a few UK games in my life. I was in Bloomington when we played IU with John Wall, Boogie, and the gang. It was amazing. I went down to TN when we lost there with Herro. Some guy sitting behind us was shouting, "He...
1988-1992. it was magical when Pitino came on campus and started turning things around. I remember the “3” signs in the dorm windows whenever I walked to class. It was pretty incredible.
They knew what they were talking about, and they were lovely. Not that they didn't belong there, but it's just a place (as a guy) I like to see guys talking sports. That's what I do with my guy friends in real life. There aren't many women in my real life I talk about UK basketball with and it's...
I think the glory days are over and have been for awhile. Like a lot of guys on here, the things we used to love about the sport are gone. Layers have been peeled back to reveal an ugly underside of cheating, bias, and exploitation. The insertion of politics, for good or ill, has added to the...

At the top of the list is that I'm 50, and I have to do a lot more to keep my business running. I can't spend all day getting hyped up for a game where some 17-20 year old kids are just learning a bigger game, and then get upset for two more days when they lose. The emotional investment just...
You know, after reading through this thread, I see I'm not alone. I used to listen to Cal's postgame where he talked about the "crazy" fan base and how maybe we needed to settle down. I know he was half-joking, but I think part of him really meant it. Well, he finally got his wish.
I wonder if...
I will be honest here, and I know a lot of fans will probably rip me. I do love the CATS, but I've been falling off the past few years. I used to listen to every game (WLAP) and get personally invested. I was so upset at the losses, and I defended the team at every turn. I loved coming out her...
