Good afternoon fellow Wildcat fans. It appears this season will be fun and I'm looking forward to discussing the basketball team with you all! What does GYERO mean?

- Thread starter AndyPolleydotcom
- Start date
I really need Jaxson Robinson to show up against Clemson and Gonzaga.
Only concern I have about this team.
Is he one of, if not the best player on the team or is he a little game player?

The thread is healing, y’all.
BTI covered him in last seasons “Where Are They Now?”
He played 2 seasons in Lexington, including an injury filled sophomore campaign before transferring to UNLV to finish his college career per Wikipedia.
This is a legitimate concern and one I'm not entirely worried about. He was the 6th man for the BYU team last year and I think he's just now figuring out how and when to be aggressive as a starter.
I do have some concerns about him gunning it early in possessions but Coach Pope doesn't share those concerns so I'm just going to enjoy the ride.
The beauty is we don't have to have an "it" guy. Andrew Carr played 25 minutes yesterday (the most of any UK player) and barely got on the stat sheet.
This team is too deep to have a truly "off" night.
Stellar. "No group of people has ever been as correct" as UK fans were about Cal. 😆‼
Maybe it's petty to keep tuning to the shadenfraude, but I think it's also quite validating - like see, we weren't crazy after all (crazy maybe, but sure as hell not stupid about our hoops).
And petty or not, as miserable as much of the past ~7 years were, we've sure as hell earned it.
Live in Raleigh. MBA at Duke. Cohort there very much not Duke-centric but a bunch of local grads that give a real shit about college basketball and boy, sheeeewwwww.
They’re scared. It’s awesome.

Buddy of mine I work with went to Dayton, still has season tickets there, keeps up with the mid major bball scene pretty well. He was telling me all summer how complete of a player - let alone shooter - Brea is. Just raved about him. I see it now, of course. Bought his tacos and michelada at lunch today.
The noon michelada on a Wednesday is maybe the most enjoyable/important drink of the week.

I don’t think I’ll ever root for Cal, or not be elated when he falls on his face. For years the guy spit in our face, mocked people who were correct, and preferred to lose his way rather than win. Am I grateful for the good years? Of course, but I will be petty forever. He disrespected the program and the fans, and I owe him nothing.
My daddy was raised in Beaver Dam.
And my mom was born in Rabbit Flat. 😜

Used to have an oil company client in Beaver Dam, went there a lot in the 90s and early 00s.
Also had 2 fraternity brothers from Central City, went there a lot too.
The Twin Cities.

It's Fayetteville, Arkansas for f***s sake, and they're having trouble filling the arena to watch Cal's "brand"
What else are you going to DO in Fayetteville?

Everyone's down at the hog shit snarfing contest trying to decide who's gonna win best hog.
It was packed for the exhibition against Kansas. Just think not a lot of people want to make a Monday night trip against a cupcake, and when the arena is twice the size as somewhere like Duke for example it looks even worse.
It wasn’t full early on under Muss either but does seem more noticeable this year.
You guys showed up to see an exhibition against the #1 team in the country? No way, what dedication.
Cal is making that comment because we would pack in 24k during an ice storm to watch his team win by 12 against Asshole State.
Don't run off the Arky fan. I want to hear their thoughts on how it is going.
In fact, please stick around all season. It would be cool to have a guest panelist.
Stage 1-Excuses
I can’t quit looking at the Arkansas message board. They are Cal coping at an accelerated speed. Now the true college basketballs over there are saying it’s not even worth worrying until January or so.
The Illinois game IMO starts it and BWA will not see an interesting opponent UNTIL OLE MISS ON 1/8. So you may want to pace yourselves and ignore the complete dumb darn from the Cal haters,
So there you have it. No reason to panic, but we can only enjoy like 60% of the season!! Go hogs!!

Well yeah, any other school compared to UK would look like they don’t support basketball. I just don’t understand the narrative that Arkansas doesn’t show up for basketball when they routinely had one of the top attendance figures in the nation under Muss and have one of largest arenas in college basketball.
Half your fan base will despise the man within two years. The short bus riders take a little longer.
I will say Dmac was fun to watch…..even in his loss to us in Fayetville.
Well, a cupcake for some.
I was probably too harsh but the point still stands. Showing up to play Kansas (even an exhibition) should be expected, they are number 1 in the country.
UK nearly had 48k show up to watch a shit tier football team play 1-9 Murray State so it isn't just basketball.
Part of that speech he gave was the realization that UK Fandom is just different (for better and for worse) than anywhere in the country.
For your programs sake, I hope he doesn't take you for granted like he did us.
The first few games don't matter, we're all freshmen!
Non-con doesn't matter. Wait til January.
Conference tournament doesn't matter.
By the end, he was straight up telling us to wait til March. And went 2-7 in his last 4 post-seasons.
It really is amazing how detached from reality he was. I have family that were very close to him personally while he was here, and one of them flat out admitted that he was completely surprised and hurt when he discovered how against him the general fanbase was by the end. Like…had no clue. Dude lives in a delusional bubble.
^ have one friend of a friend in the same boat… not around him much himself but people close to him are. Was also told he actually thought ENG was a slam dunk to get hired.
Cal having zero self awareness really explains Brads “earned not given” tat.
I think there is a fatigue with Cal that is spreading amongst college basketball in general. He’s always had his haters, but they used to be wrong. He’s spent the last 5-6 years proving them right and I think deep down Arkansas fans know they paid 40k for a used Escalade with 135k miles and a jumpy transmission.
70 degrees Monday and snowing today. Not mad tho. Going to light my gas insert fireplace tonight and watch some college hoops. Almost the best week of the year

Enjoyed the jawing with arkansas fans at the SEC tournament about a decade ago. A personal policy where I just dont engage with UT fans but Arky Ive always enjoyed the smack.
This is one of my all time favorite Arkansas moments actually had quite an impact on Kentucky butterfly effect wise.
