Anyone Else Tired Of Hearing We Are Crazy?

[KyCatFan]

Coach Cal caused a lot of that talk with the "you people are crazy" speeches. Also how we expect championships every year. I wouldn't say we are crazy, but more like fanatical. Most fans also don't expect championships every year. We only average 1 title every 8.75 years or so since we won our first NCAA Tournament Championship. We've also only averaged like 1 Final Four every 4.5 years since our first one.

I think most rational fans want to win it every year, but never expect it. Getting to a Final Four at least every 3 or 4 years and being a legitimate threat those years to win the title is what I believe most people expect. Coach Cal has spoiled us though and has people believing we can get to a Final Four and win a Championship nearly every year. I still don't think most of us expect it like the announcers keep saying.

We are crazy and I would have it no other way! GBB!

 

[bbncal02]

I’ll never get tired of hearing it. It’s a earned mark and I love it. Yes we are crazy. But because we are crazy, we are COLLEGE BASKETBALL.

As long as we win, I’ll take being called crazy.

 

[Coach CALzone]

Some guy just made a thread complaining that we need to add another scholarship player. AFTER A GAME LIKE THIS.



Yes, clearly we are crazy.

 

[Blueisbest]

College basketball is a religion unto itself in the Commonwealth. If that sounds crazy, then go ahead and have me committed.

.

LOL. What, so you think it was a secret before then?

No, Cal did not "cause" it in any way. People have been calling UK fans crazy since looooooong before Cal ever said a word about it.

 

[Blue_2_the_bone]

No because we are crazy. I remember everyone thinking Tubby’s teams were going to win it all every year. We’re just like Bama football fans, Packers fans, Red Sox & Yankee Fans & any other group with great tradition who are loyal to their team. He’s not lying.

 

[KentuckyMildCats]

nah I feel like that's a pretty good compliment

 

[drainthatub]

Call me crazy, but I’m tired of the term “BBN”

 

[Blueisbest]

Call me crazy, but I’m tired of the term “BBN”

Okay, you're crazy.

 

[drbubba]

I'm tired of Commonwealth Stadium being called "Kroger Field". Is that so wrong?

I agree it will always be Commonwealth Stadium in my book also!

 

[Bluesnky]

We definitely aren’t crazy. There was a guy this morning who said he wouldn’t panic about three point shooting until after the preseason vacation games were over. Very levelheaded.

Keep on talking Cal. You are ok by me.

 

[EliteBlue]

It's a compliment. "Bama fans are crazy". "Red Sox fans are crazy". "Kentucky fans are crazy".

It's only associated with the most dedicated, passionate fans. And is only associated with the top teams in their respective sports.

Nobody has ever said "Georgia Tech fans are crazy". Bc they are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

 

[KyCatFan]

What I mean is the way the announcers say it make it sound like a negative thing. That we constantly have ridiculous expectations. Coach Cal uses it more out of respect for the things we do. Like filling up an arena in another country 2 months before the season starts or camping out for a week before a practice. I would prefer the announcers to say we are passionate over crazy. Cal can keep calling us crazy though.

 

[Nubb16]

I embrace the crazy. I’m that rare psycho you hear about.

 

[TheKentuckyKid]

I was talking to Cal last night telling him how to improve shooting and such, then he told me he only says we're crazy to piss off the op.

I think we’re crazy.

You might want to change the way you’re taking it, we’re crazy.

 

[Bkocats]

nope, not tired of it at all
it's part of our identity

 

[wromanp7]

Just another vote for we’re crazy...

 

[IL Wildcat]

Ah, we are crazy. It's ok with me. I think at least half the time people intend it to be a good kind of crazy, really "passionate" is more like it. Others mean crazy as in lunatic or unreasonable. And that often comes from jealousy more than anything. So again, I'm not worried.

 

[ftp000]

There is literally nothing that someone won't complain about..nothing!

 

[Wildcats1st]

We re all members of a cult and cal is our david Koresh without the guns and pedophilia

 

[kybassfan]

Full blown bozo. Been that way since the 60’s. Cal is just another part of the tradition.

 

[KyCatFan]

Well I guess I'm the only one then. I just don't like the announcers portraying us all as lunatics that think anything less than a championship is a failure. To me, that is how the announcers come off as with their crazy comments. In my opinion, it's not the same as our coach and fans calling each other crazy as a term of endearment.

 

[musrat59]

It is okay as a fan bring a little crazy over your team.

 

[johnc17]

There must be some truth in it if it bothers you that much!

You are the only one. People are watching you too. Geez, all but one of the BBN are crazy.

 

[Ocornett]

Call me crazy, but I’m tired of the term “BBN”

Your crazy man take a hold of yourself and shake it out of you before it's to late.

 

[Ocornett]

I'm so crazy I live in a mental institution most of the time when I'm not escaping. Crazy is a great place to live and as a BBN member I feel right at home. I hear voices and see things that aren't there. I live in a dream with other crazy people. Cal visits sometimes in January but he doesn't stay long. Anyone have the numbers for the powerball on Saturday? Love me some Cal and BBN. Oh! Almost forgot to say I love me some Wildcats. Got to go now and get back in bed before I'm missed.

 

[GLR5555]

Not quite "ex-wife" crazy, but close.

 

[shutzhund]

I'm tired of us showing our butts and demonstrating it time after time.

 

[BigKari]

No. I know I’m crazy. It’s just Coach Cal hyperbole though. He knows we don’t expect to win every year, he just knows that we want to win every year and we think we can win every year. I’m not going to lie the last 3 years have been tough not making a final 4, but I had a ton of fun watching those teams compete and grow as a team, and see many of them go on to achieve their dreams. I was just thinking today about how close we were in ‘17. That team was playing so well and you can tell by their reaction to having that game ripped away, that they themselves expected to go all the way and had no doubts in themselves.

My Dad has progressive health problems and is not able to go to Rupp Arena and sit in the upper deck anymore. A couple of years ago when he was talking about going to a game and my mother said, "You're going to die in Rupp Arena". To which he replied "I hope so".

 

[lkc1234]

Call me crazy, but I’m tired of the term “BBN”

You are more than crazy

 

[Lost In FL]

Coach Cal didnt cause it ... he wanted to be part of it!

That is a good story.
