Yeah, let's look at the blind resumes below and see which one is more impressive:
Careful...he said they had "more quality wins". We're not talking about SOS and RPI. UK brought down Thor's chit hammer on them, so you throw that one out along with the Temple raping. What's left? Not as impressive as UK's wins.
How is pointing out the foolishness of his statement "freaking out"? We're just UK fans talking about UK and college basketball. It's kind of what we do here.
It goes further than that. Every sportswriter in America is disliked by us because that one time 12 years ago he picked Duke over us. God forbid someone compliment another team or coach. We're king, we have the best coach. We need to relax and keep letting our games to the talking..Originally posted by bigbluelou:

Fair enough, and good point. I realize they are paid to be talking heads and create interest, and Jay is really good at what he does. I sort of hold him to a higher standard than some of the others because he's such a smart guy and usually doesn't seem to be influenced by drama or controversy.
Quit exaggerating or just outright lying. There are plenty of writers/commentators/analysts that most UK fans like or respect. Doyel, DeCourcy, and Bilas off the top of my head.Originally posted by Louis_Skunt:

You are lumping everyone here together. That is wrong. You have to remember there are large numbers of UK fans and many post here, more than most any other board. Every sportswriter in America is disliked by some subset of the UK fan base. They make a thread here to talk about. It gets hits and replies from several, but that is still just a very small percentage of the people that post here. I see people doing what you have done all the time. Unless there is a means to vote and we get everyone to vote every time, you cannot lump everyone together. A while back there was a thread about which school is our most heated rival. There was no consensus. There were many camps. If one of them started up a heated thread about a sportswriter that favored one team over Kentucky that camp would chime in. If another sportswriter that favored a different school said something against UK or Calipari, another camp would roll in and comment. While I agree with your sentiment and I, too, will be glad when we react more like we did in the late 90's when almost nothing could get our goat, people have to talk about something but not everyone is talking about the same things.Originally posted by Louis_Skunt:
