If your not a Cal fan who the hell could you like. I can't imagine the day he leaves, this place may implode because when we don't get a five star for the first time and God forbid a final four every other year. Look out!

And spoiled. There's a percentage of fans that are younger and have never known the trials and tribulations of probation or mediocre success.
It's a Superiority Complex. People like to think they're right. So a lot of people want to be in the "I told you so. I was right & you were wrong crowd." They'll continue to be negative because in the end only 1 team can win a championship. Where else can you show everyone you know it all than a message board?

If there's ever been a more ironic post in the history of this board I'd like to see it!

Fans are fans they are the same at any big time BB school , I thank most fans thank Cal is the best..I know I do.
Talking about this teams flaws is ok. Totally fine. It is a discussion board. That's not what happens a lot of the time, I think you know this tho
Absolutely. I was in the chess club in high school, and a lot of the moves Bobby Fischer made used to drive me crazy. I would scream "wtf are you doing, Bobby" at the television all the time. Of course, he always lucked out and won some way despite his stubbornness.
Yeah Anthony Davis, John Wall, Cousins, MKG, Bledsoe, Towns, etc, did not give a crap about UK then or now or about winning college basketball games. Give me an effing break.
And if UK fans want to win big, you have to recruit the best players. The days of winning "big" with 3-4 year guys is done. You want to be in the title hunt 6/8 years then you have to recruit with the big boys and get the studs.
Having experienced the ups and downs of UK basketball since 1965, the Cal years have been a ride of a lifetime. The early-mid 1990's were fun too, but this has been exceptional.
Imagine if there was a message board in the years of "guards don't shoot"?
Yeah really! How the hell did @JC CATS drag me into his rant? I hardly ever say anything negative! Maybe that's why I have him on ignore.
You should go to the Wichita State board for a lesson in how to "talk about it." That forum proves you can discuss a team, it's strengths and weaknesses, wins and losses, and still be supportive.
By comparison, what goes on here half the time is psychotic.
I'm surprised he even brought it up. The negativity on the part of some has been over the top. This same group has been notorious for not being able to take what they dish out. I'm glad Calipari turned the spotlight on them. I'm pretty sure where I'll see the most warts.
It's not just Wichita State. Go to any board of a team that has never won anything and you'll see this. They have set their expectations so low they're happy with just a little success because they've never had it.
Luke 12:48 "For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.”
Cal was given the keys to the kingdom here. And set expectations through the roof.
I wish there was a way to come up with a count - the number of posters who always complain, downplay any success (or disappear), and in general aren't capable of being happy. How many of them are there? How many of those are trolls, and how many are genuine but miserable "fans"?
I'd wager a bit the number is less than most would think. If we all got together in a large convention center, it would be more clear that you have 5,000 people, and only 124 are chronic complainers. When it's just lines of text on a screen, a few people can create the impression they are everywhere .....

One last thing. It's ironic to me that some characterize these one and done kids as just passing thru and not caring about UK. The one thing I envied about Carolina (the other program at UK's level, IMO) was the sense of family, the way all the players came back to campus and referenced the school and program in interviews, the wearing of UNC shorts under Bulls shorts, etc. Cal has created that here, largely on the backs of the guys here only a year. KAT, AD, Wall, very frequently reference Cal and UK - honestly, I don't remember guys under Joe, Eddie, Rick or Tubby doing much of that, even though they were here 4 years....
Not sensitive at all. I have no feelings. At least my wife says so.
Lol, the haters are mad because Coach Cal called them out.
Mark gormley approves this message. Could you imagine if Jan Terri and mark gormley had a kid together? I'm thinking Elvis Presley reborn.
I haven't complained any more than Cal has.
Rupp had a meeting with Cawood because he would tell the fans on the radio when they were stinking up the place.

And... he says something silmilar almost every year. He likes something he says and sticks with it... tweak, robots, freshman, brothers keeper and on and on.
It's Cal. I love him as our coach. But defenitly hate that part.
why don't you go look up how often that has happened annually for us? You'll be disappointed to find that is one of our better seasons from a win/loss perspective.
I will give it to you there! Sometimes constructive criticism is good but only about 15% of the criticism around here is constructive.
