If you're not advocating taking them down, why bring it up? Pretty classless move, IMHO. What was the point in bringing it up? Unless you are just trolling, trying to start an argument. Pretty classless of you.
Not trolling...Do you not understand the concept of a discussion board? Obviously it's an interesting topic or there wouldn't be 3 pages of posts. Read through my post history and you'll see that I'm not a troll. Not until this point did anyone accuse me of being classless or a troll. All of the sudden, some jerk comes out of the woodwork. You're flaming and being a real ass.
You are correct. It is a message board. And my comment is, you started a classless post.
Why am I classless? Please explain it to me. Why is asking if the jerseys should be up there classless? You think they should others think they shouldn't. So is everyone in this thread with different opinions from you "classless pricks"?
Son, if I have to explain to you why discussing if jerseys that have been in the rafters 14 years should be there, nothing I will say will help you. That was one of the most beloved teams in UK history and brought us back from the dead. Anyone that thinks they shouldn't be there, is pretty classless. Must touch a nerve with you.
Don't call me son. I'm no young buck and don't need your condescension. You must be a real joy to be around if someone has a different opinion from you. You must see a lot of classless thread topics on here too. You totally misinterpreted the thread too.
How? They shouldn't be up there. It's just the objective truth. Now there is a precedent that any role player who is a fan favorite can get up there. Advocating for taking them down would be a waste of time, since it's not happening.
Objective truth?? BS. It's merely your opinion. And how does it set up the precedent you put forth??I It doesn't. That was a special group and special circumstance. That group brought us back from the brink of the death penalty.
They needed him and he needed them. Doesn't change the fact that it was a special group. Pretty silly discussion 14 years after the fact. We're you a fan then?
Here is my comment on the "Unforgettables". I get tired of everyone saying they weren't all that talented. They were talented basketball players who played extremely hard. They main reason they were called over achievers was to make Rick look even better for the job he did. They could all shoot the ball and knew how to play the game. That is a talent in itself. And yes there Jerseys should be in the rafters!
Well, you'd be wrong. I watched the Runts as well. I never said Mash wasn't great, I was just giving the Unforgettables their fair due. Are you saying they deserve no credit for bringing us back from almost dead?
I already gave one. Richie Farmer stole from the state of Kentucky and did federal prison time for it. Again, I'm not advocating taking them down but that sounds like a good enough argument to me for at least one of them
It's not an opinion. They are easily the worst players out of everyone who is up there, by a very big margin. The only reason they are up there is because they are a bunch of local boys who played on a team people are fond of. That's not debatable. They never won anything and some of those guys weren't even very big contributors to that team. The honor should be reserved for the best individual players and coaches. Like I said, I don't mind recognizing the team in some way, but those specific guys shouldn't be up there.
And that is YOUR OPINION! They brought back from almost the death penalty and THAT is not debatable. They deserve the honor. And no matter how much you whine, they will stay in the rafters!
Id say it's very debatable how responsible some of those guys were to the team's success. Whatever, this isn't an argument anymore, your like a kid covering his ears and screaming the same thing over and over again when he's having a tantrum. Enjoy dying on that hill.
And you're arguing about something that was settled 24 years ago. So, keep whining son.
well, 24 years ago, when the Jerseys went into the rafters, I'd bet 95%+ of UK fans agreed with the decision. And I'd bet most UK fans still feel that way. But you and Hoskins can keep whining for another 24 years if it makes you feel better.
