Went through and he's commented on like 2 since at least December and they weren't even bad. Lol NBA players talk shit worse daily
Well, I think you're reading into one post way too much and applying it to all. There are some who will never get over that loss in the final four and the attitude of Wisconsin's coach both then and in interviews since. He liked to rub some salt in that wound. So, it's not as much about the decommit and signing with UK as much as it's purely about Wisconsin for some. I don't feel that same thing toward the Badgers. You could also add in the assault tbat ensued on Herro from Wisconsin fans as Herro was attempting to simply play his senior season in high school. The treatment of this kid was over the top. It's similar to the way Arkansas fans treated Malik Monk after he signed with UK. My point is, you're connecting dots that probably aren't in the minds of these UK fans, though I suppose I can see how you'd come to that conclusion and make the connection between 2 guys decommitting and signing with a different school. That's not the source of the joy of most in seeing some success from Herro.
Seriously, why are you here? This is a Kentucky message board where we chat about Kentucky subjects... All I'm saying is that I've never been so insecure that I have to go stalk another fanbase's message board looking for things to throw my nose into..
This and variations thereof are a common refrain on the Devils’ bandwagon: “my [insert relative/friend/acquaintance/etc. here] went to Duke.”
The enrollment there hovers around 6,500, but if you believe all these tall tales, it should be more like 650,000.
Wisconsin - the team who beat one of the best college teams ever thanks to a combination of some overly conservative late game play and bad officiating, only to lay down, bend over, and get beat by a freshmen Grayson Allen.
I wouldn’t be bragging about that.

As if people need to actually need to attend a school to be a fan. That’s a dumb idea. Can you only be a bengals fan if you played middle linebacker for them?
It’s also unfair criteria given how much easier it is to get into state schools.
In any case, I did get a couple of degrees from a private school so I’ll consider mysef property credentialed to enjoy something I like.
Oh, an existential question. Why am I here? Why are we all here? Why are any of us here?
If you’re a free will guy, you’d say I’m here because I want to be.
If you’re a predetermination Guy, you’d say I’m here because I’m supposed to be.
I’ll ignore both of those possibilities and go with the classic bailout of answering a question with a question; why? Why not?
A dumb idea is to pick a team because they win, carefully craft a marketable image, and are subsequently deified and shilled for by ESPN and the national media for decades. It's a free country; you can be a "fan" of whomever you like. We're a little more organic here; some of us went to UK, and almost all of us are native Kentuckians. The great majority of your "fanbase" has no geographic, scholastic or familial connection to Duke, though an inordinate number claim the latter.

I love the idea that something you have no control over (like being born somewhere) makes you a better or more qualified anything than someone who makes a conscious choice. It’s like the feudal system. Very 13th century of you.
In any case, my parents went to Duke, I was born in NC, so looks like I qualify under this wonderfully progressive and modern system of inclusion/exclusion...barely. Good to feel organic.
Whew! Glad I don’t have to redecorate my basement.

Yeah the two post I saw were harmless comments that friends do on post.
They both follow each other so I’m sure this is just innocent fun
I was hanging around waiting for you advice....now take it and shove it........Penny will be on Beal Street picking pockets before he gets close to Cal.......now, go away!
What the poster should really do is take his own advice about staying classy........that is if he can become classy to start with.....
A couple of years that Cal/UK was #2 in recruiting they didn't count players like Jamal Murray as part of the team in the rankings.....
The posts I saw were questioning Herro’s violation of a commitment from when he was 17 years old to Wisconsin. I’m not sure who your friends are, but mine don’t typically question my integrity in a public forum.
More likely they followed each other from when Herro was committed to Wiscy and Tyler hasn’t been bothered to unfollow.
Personally, all of this dogging of teenagers who aren’t willing to sacrifice their future for multi-million dollar programs who will never pay them back for their services seems more low integrity to me than a teenager daring to change his mind about his future.
It's falling off because Fat Jeff took his bag of cash to the Steel City.
The difference is before 2012 four different coaches won Championships at UK, stretching over half a century. Cal was the 5th. Like UCONN,UCLA and Arizona the majority of Duke's success has been tied to one man. Can you think of anyone who is going to want to follow that?
K will be 72 this season. It's coming to an end. Accept it.
13th century? Feudalism? Lol Picking a team solely because they’re a winner doesn’t have much to do with anything other than front running. Not surprised you don’t- or won’t- acknowledge that.
So you’re showing class by coming on our site to make classless statements about our fans? Are you drinking or on drugs?
