Well, I can tell you this. All of my friends are diehard UK fans. They hate this season but they have never talked about getting rid of Cal. So, there you go. The only place I hear ,Fire Cal, is on this board.
How old are you? Do you live in the state of KY? I’m not picking on you I’m just honestly trying to understand this.
I’m 50 years old and live in KY. For the last 2-3 years the people that I’m around that are UK fans are sick of Cal. Most have quit watching or say they only watch when it’s convenient. They all say they are sick of the one and done, new roster every year. And most say they don’t like Cal’s attitude.
These people aren’t all my friends, sometimes they are just business acquaintances. Farm Bureau insurance guy, CPA tax guy, Bank teller. All people I might interact with occasionally where the topic of KY basketball will come up.
All of these people including my friends that I’m around more often are sick of Cal and his version of KY basketball. For the ones who were riding the fence this year finished them off. And most say they quit watching early in the season or before.
These are people with UK license plates on the front of their vehicles, KY flags in their yards, UK shirts and hats on every time you would see them. They’re done, quit watching, fed up! And it’s been that way before this year with a lot. Yet when mentioned on this board (and I have before this season) I’m told it’s isolated to “my friends” and “not that way everywhere.”
These people vary from blue collar to white collar workers, men and women.
It’s happening whether some want to believe it or not and the attendance at Rupp will show it if and when they’re ever allowed to open up completely.
With that in mind Covid has helped Cal this season. Because if it were a normal year with fans in attendance, it would’ve been far worse for him for sure.
