Love UK and love Cal. Absolutely hate the arrogance of some of our fans since Cal has gotten here. Coach K has won 2 titles since Cal has been at UK, yet so many on here act like we can't be touched in terms of success. UL and Pitino have won one title since Cal has been here, lets not act like they have been irrelevant. In my opinion there are many on here that need to check themselves a bit in terms of their sense of entitlement as UK fans. Cal has saved us and its been an unprecedented run, but we are not invincible.
I think this is why I have taken such a devil's advocate type of position on here. I just read so much bullshit on here from our fans about us being invincible. Well what about 2013 when we ended up in the NIT? Do I think Mulder is LeBron? No, but to act like he couldn't have significant impact at an opposing school is foolish. I bet not one person on here was bothered when UL brought in Luke Hancock. Im sure several thought "big deal". Then he goes on to be Final Four MVP. The point is, our opponents can load up and make moves the same as we can. Duke and Coach K have won two titles in this Coach Cal one and done era.
Again, i think many on here need to cool it with their entitlement. Dont' know how many times i read on here about "oh this team is going to be trash next year, or that team is going to suck, or yeah they can't beat us, etc etc". Gets old as hell. UL lost Jones and everyone thought "oh they'll be lucky to make it to the tournament". Then Pitino lands them in the Elite Eight with a legitimate shot at the final four. So annoying how so many on here act like UK is untouchable and everyone else sucks. This is obviously not true considereing UK has one national title in the Cal era.
