If a certain overly optimistic poster returns to us

[BlueSince92]

Don’t go telling me he’s not a real Kentucky fan.

That he’s been exposed saying such and such a place he’s a fan of some other team.

That’s been said and I don’t know if I buy it but the bottom line is I don’t care.

Over the past week, MANY people here (and even a few people here I otherwise respect) have said that it’s time to move on from Mark Pope.

That is milktoast.

You are entitled to your feelings. I am not going to challenge your decisions to say those things.

And frankly it’s been a week where it’s very highly understandable that a whole lot of people would be frustrated enough to feel like they had to say /some/thing. Pope earned that. And I’ll never even say you’re not real fans for saying things that I’m pretty sure you’re going to wind up regretting.

But don’t ever again tell me the most pathologically optimistic, upbeat, and gracious guy on this whole board is not a real Kentucky fan. If that’s what being a fake fan looks like, bring me more of that.

I’ve always felt he was a UK fan, also felt he just got off on trolling this board in his own way.

Trust me there are a lot of posers on this site, it seems to be a hobby of some rivals to create fake accounts.

Oh, there are gobs. And if any of those PITA dudes care to start acting like this one particular gent I’ll be happy to start singing their praises too.

It's a strange thing going to that length and be a poser. I've seen stranger things that's for sure. There's always some hint of pessimism with trolls, but he never really did that. Always struck me as a "glass flowing over" fan.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

I always felt those guys were just huge kentucky fans/homer's/simpletons (I dont mean that to sound mean). If they are indeed trolling Kentucky fans to THAT extent.. who is the loser in this situation? Us, who just kinda say "ok there Billy, im sure we will win every game"? Or them, who spend 4 hours a day on a UK forum, a team they despise?

Idk, I find it harmless. I'd rather have optimistic types rather than pessimistic ones.

Sometimes its obvious.....other times its not.

Optimism is a quality of ones personality i think.

Pessimism just hurts.

 

[ManitouDan]

Who is it ?

 

[UKAlum84]

haha, I think its the guy with the acronym H.H.

Could be wrong though.

 

[Fox2monk]

Who is it ?

I’m guessing it was HH

 

[ManitouDan]

I kinda gloss over anything that dude post , may even have him on ignore

 

[Lempface]

It's Milquetoast.

A win over South Carolina and the mole will pop outta the ground on cue!

"We're back boys... Get Butler and Carr fully healthy and no-one will be able to stay on the floor with UK".... Etc.

I don’t care if he’s a troll or not. Personally I think he is. But one thing I’m positive of is he’s a jerk. He says the stupidest sh*t on the planet. I hope he never comes back but I’m not that lucky.

 

[drew_ukfan]

We all have our roles to play on this board. He has his niche

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

KWilt is probably a UK fan, but he’s just weird as shit.

That person is a troll and mocks fans and the basketball program. Very likely a rival fan.

Can you blame them? Most of their forums are ghost towns. Hard to stay occupied in mom’s basement when there are only 5 posts a day.
