Bad Takes You Have Had

I was very young (8th grade), so forgive me, but I thought there was no way that Wes Unseld wasn't coming to Kentucky.
I was really disappointed by it. Can you imagine what the program would've been like had he paved the way for others ??

Also, like others here, I thought Eddie Sutton would kill it here and was very excited to hear him say he would "crawl to Lexington for the Kentucky job."

GO CATS !!

That slim Arvydas Sabonis was going to make people forget about Kareem.

-Dwayne Wade wasn't going to be a very good pro.

-LaMelo Ball would be a bust

-Kenny Payne would do well at UL.

-Scott Drew was a guaranteed hire

-Mark Pope would be an awful hire. (So far so good)

Also, I remember when I first saw the iPod and I remember telling people it was too expensive and it'd never take off.
 
I remember when Dakotah Euton announced for UK....I called my dad and we were talking about how BCG was going to win big by signing guys like Euton
 
Billy Clyde and Eddie Sutton are the reasons I was iffy about Pope succeeding.
He's looking very promising so far. Everyone can't coach at UK.

Same with UK FB. Stoops has struggled a couple of seasons, but there is a long list of horrible coaches at UK FB.
 
I wanted Quincy Miller over Anthony Davis. I came around before the season started, but I just couldn’t wrap my head around AD’s meteoric rise.
 
Worst take. Georgetown game in NCAA tourney. I was in a house with about 50/50 UK to GTOWN fans. Was loving the first half. I stayed, I ate crow, that was not on here but that is my worst take on UK Basketball. 2nd would be 1975 Championship game. Halftime- thought we would run away with it. Did not realize the wizard told his team at half he was retiring. Wow.
 
I'm embarrassed to say again but at the time I thought the Calipari contract extension in 2019 was going to bring UK at least 2 more championships and make him the next Coach K. Instead it caused him to become complacent and lay down on the job.
I didn't.

I did think in 2012 that he would have four titles by 2020.
