This thread is so stupid I’m not even going to respond to it.
Wait, I didn’t mean… wait…

Big UK Fan But In Spite Of Our Record I’m Not Convinced We Are Top 10 Team, Maybe Not Top 20.

His "wife" is probably a dude in a dress. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
I posted the following in the Lots of bitter people out there thread: "There are a number of fans who love Kentucky, but don't like Cal no longer being the coach. Those fans were very vocal leading up to the start of the season. There were plenty of messages talking about what Kentucky didn't have as opposed to what it does have. That bunch hasn't gone anywhere, and they haven't been converted to loving the Pope hire. They are a quiet storm just waiting to explode. The trigger point for this storm is a couple of poor performances resulting in loses."
The poster who started this thread is a perfect example of a member of the quiet storm who is just waiting for an opportunity to trash Pope. He is obviously having problems staying quiet, so while he is waiting, he decided that a little gaslighting would be fun. I bet this "Big UK fan... thinks Arkansas belongs in the top 20 maybe even the top 10. We see you, so how about stopping the BS?
Since the OP loves old adages, he might like this new one. When you live by the Flagg, you die by the Flagg. Duke fans can surely appreciate it.

He is no fun at parties and nor is he a Big UK fan. He is a Big Cal university fan.
There are lots of positive things about this team and coaching staff so far. Kentucky has a roster capable of winning the SEC.
This team will hang around in the top 10 all year

Those folks just look at how many stars players had in HS. That may've worked not long ago but the portal has changed college basketball. How many highly rated recruits did we have that never panned out here? Sure some have been studs from the jump but they're few and far between. We've seen the experienced squads go the farthest in the Tournament. Pope did a magnificent job identifying the guys that would work in his system in short order and he'll be selective I'd imagine at trying to get those HS studs to fill in with some older players. And he won't play favorites or make promises.
This is about as troll of a post as it gets. Uk played like garbage in the first half and still ended up winning on a neutral floor. Duke did not get anything near UKs best shot. Lamont Butler missed 2 or 3 layups himself in the first half. Amare Williams missed several bunnies as did Oweh. We missed a ton of wide open 3s that we make most of the time.
Duke is lucky we was ice cold in the first half or this is a double digit loss for them. Not to mention we had several of our best players sitting with 2 fouls in the first half. Krissa, Butler and Jax went a combined 3 for 13 from 3 in this game. That's not happening very often. Amare Williams went 3 for 13 from point blank range that's not happening very often. Duke had a good gameplan which was to hack and push with their lower body. The refs let it go in the first half but started to call them in the 2nd half. Dukes goal was to muddy up this game and slow the tempo and it worked but they still lost lol.

This absolutely cannot be a serious post. So you’re telling me you read OP’s original message and thought it was logically sound enough to merit an antagonistic defense? You sir, also are on my “don’t trust this person’s film evaluation” list.
The word is spelled barely-not barley. We aren't cutting tobacco, we are beating all so far, inc your loving Puke eerrr aaa duke
Why be such a butt to a poster who owned up to his mistake? I am sure that you have never made any grammar mistakes while making your 3000+ posts.
Idk man, you and I have disagreed and I still like interacting with you on here. I owned it, said I was an idiot and moved on. Him pointing out the grammar mistake is so stupid because who the hell cares.
People lie. Many of us thought Duke would win. You did nothing wrong.
What does cutting tobacco have anything to do with a grammar mistake? And on the second part I don’t love Duke, I hate them in fact. I went to Kentucky, have live here my whole life. I’m a cat till the end. I thought Duke was a bad matchup for Kentucky. But that night I owned up to my bs take. Which I bet you know but won’t admit because you wanted to get a shot in at me.
Hasn't even returned to defend their take. Probably reading Three Billy Goats Gruff for the umpteenth time.
Yeah man, we’re all just fans. In the heat of moment or in the build up to these games we all sometimes say something silly. It doesn’t make any of us less of a fan.
Gotta always be honest about what you think. Makes you no less a fan. I’ve said I think it’s a better than coin flip likelihood we lose to the Zags. I’m no less a fan for saying that. Someone can bleed blue to the soul and still have a working cranium
Did you ever stop to think that the reason Duke shot bad was because of the defense UK played against them? Did you not see UK have an off night shooting for them and still beat the number 6 team in the country? Dume is a really really good team. They are better than UT. I don’t know what else you have to see to convince you that UK is also a really really good basketball team. Now UK will lose some games but it isn’t because they are a bad team
Sorry I didn't see it I apologize to you for my interaction...
OP is getting crucified but I don’t think it’s THAT outrageous of a take to say we’re ONLY top 20. I think most people would be very happy with top 20 going into the year.
I personally feel we’re in the 7-12 range but finishing around 15-20 is within the realm of possibilities

To be honest I didn’t get these types of vibes at all. Not sure where “thinking we may not be top 10” = “I love Cal”. You could say it’s pessimistic, but it has nothing to do with Cal
Well it is obvious you are not a big UK fan since you have not watch the games, the Cats have had a couple of games where the defense worked hard on taking away the 3 and UK responded by going to the basket. So Mr. Troll just go away.
Obviously anything can happen the rest of the year and in the tournament especially, but I see nothing about this team so far that leads me to believe we won’t compete for the SEC title or Tournament title. We have a great shot to go pretty far in the big dance. We are deep, experienced, can shoot the crap out of the ball, and have a great staff. I know 100% we won’t lose because we weren’t prepared and that alone is worth the change.
