Fairly early in the game I told my wife, this crowd is really impressive. And then they started chanting, “F U ref.” Not something to be proud of., Missou.

I was impressed with with the crowd except…
- Thread starter MathUK
- Start date
They chanted it more than anyone I've ever heard and with some of the calls they got i felt like they don't know bn honestly.
Always cracks me up when the crowd starts shit talking the refs. Like they aren't human beings who have the capability of being petty and punishing your team even more.
Heard it loud and clear on my tv. Thought I was going to have to mute it because my kids were watching. Disgusting behavior. Then you have Auburn fans throwing stuff at Alabama players later on in the day. The erosion of morality in our country and our world is truly disheartening. It’s just sports, people. Chill out.
Can you imagine Mizzou crowd if they got bad calls?
Don Daily and his late whistle took away a 15 point win.

I know this is not a popular opinion and I like to have a good cold beer but since they started selling beer in these stadiums it’s gotten so much worse..
You know those MF are petty too, they are already corrupt. Let’s make them mad. I wish we got the crew who did the LSU game every game in the SEC. That was the fastest and smoothest game.
For sure. I said the same thing to myself when the game was over and I looked at the clock and it was 8:50.
They should be the crew the SEC uses to measure others. None of them craved being on TV or make the game about them.
Bingo.
Golly, what a shocker that fan behavior got worse after these venues started selling booze. Who could’ve possibly seen that coming?
I was more impressed with the "Go Big Blue" chants.
Exactly! They'll do it for money and then object to the consequences it brings....
We're going to sell alcohol at games, but we need you to police yourself and don't do anything dumb. Yeah right.
We're going to legalize sports gambling, but don't get hooked on it, don't go overboard. But if you do...call this number.
We're gonna let you play with fire, just don't get burned. Here's some rope to play with, just don't hang yourself.
A lot of KY fans in SE Mo, some transplants in St Louis and Kansas City, and road trip from Western KY for some.
This. I think I saw one maybe two iffy calls that went our way. And I think one was a makeup call.
They need to wear UK jerseys for awhile to see what a real ref screwing feels like.
Personal accountability. I’d rather have things like alcohol and gambling than Prohibition. History shows us what an abject and utter failure that was.
I was disappointed in Gates and their crowd, it’s one thing to boo bad calls, they were booing the correct calls all game long. In addition to their dirty mouths, Gates was riding the refs asses the whole time too, even when the refs were right. I thought he was a pretty classy guy and in his press conference most of what I heard he was blaming the refs and bad breaks. Never giving Kentucky much credit all all, although I didn’t hear all of it because I couldn’t stand to hear anymore and turned it off.
Gates is not classy. I've never cared for him much. I can respect what he's done this year, but I don't like him (even if Pope does).
You’re welcome …I was part of the chants haha
Mizzou fans are sore losers. I yelled “yessir Cats ruined senior day” and couple of older fellers called me a prick 😂 and they told me to go back where I came from (real original) and they looked real stupid when I said well bud I’m from Missouri …they just turned around and didn’t say a word…my wife got a good chuckle out of it.
Those chants were LOUD. Awesome job. Nothing fills BBN with more pride than being able to hear that at a road arena. Never will forget the time it was LOUD at Thompson-Boling and even with the Vols loud booing it was STILL heard on TV. Loved it.
Are you Missouri born 'n raised or a transplant?
Yeah MO born n raised for 39 years but my Dad grew up in Sturgis/Morganfield KY area and I still have family over in that area. Dad moved to MO a couple years before I was born but raised me up on UK ball.
Now I’m passing it on to my 4 year old son. His first game was yesterday. I had him chanting Let’s go Cats leaving the arena haha

I don’t know what it is about them that makes them so entitled. They have never won anything.
In 2018 at the SEC in St Louis they were talking smack from the time we got there about sending UK home. Michael Porter, Jr had been cleared to play.
They “wanted” UK. Little problem. We had the double bye. They had to play on Thursday. And lost!😉
We actually enjoyed the tournament being there. The hosts were just not hospitable.
Or maybe they were?😆

I was disappointed in the crowd at Missouri and in Gates too, but it was natural to assume the officiating would follow suit for them, like it did at Georgia and Alabama .... just for instance sake - and for some reason my gut looked at it and said they'd NOT get the officiating breaks they counted on. And they didn't. So we won. Crazy.
But classy is not something I'd use to describe the fans or coach. Rode that officials ass the entire game and was a mad little gnome there, looking really angry. It was actually quite funny, to me. Post game, it was focused on lack of them getting to the free throw line. Not much of a good word for how well Kentucky did against them. Just that they left things on the table and should have won. BAH. I don't care for that attitude, but Mizzou is good this year, I'll give them credit for a great turnaround year.
And a shoutout from me here in Morganfield, by the way, BassPro ! I love living here since I've had the opportunity coming back to Kentucky from Arizona ! God Bless you taking your son. My earliest memories are with my dad going to Kentucky games starting in 1974. So cool. (only my earliest memory is leaving Bloomington from a Cats' game and ducking, bobbing, and weaving after getting our ass handed to us in classic (L) Hoosier fashion)
My wife pointed out to me. That fans and players will basically follow their coach’s lead on how to treat the refs. Gates was F bombing the ref during one time out almost the whole time. And then came the chants. You don’t see pope talking to the refs that way, and I could be wrong, but you don’t see chants like that at Rupp.
Could somebody answer this question? Has coach Pope gotten a technical this season? I couldn’t remember one.
Yeah, I have heard that a few times. The funny thing is about that, when I was growing up in the 70s, my dad would’ve slapped me up the side of my head if I had said that something sucked. It had a different meaning when I was growing up.
Not sure the meaning has changed per se, we just don't put that serious of a thought on it.
Could be but everyone gets blitzed before going to games. That just helps them keep it up I think.
