At what point are you not ok with calipari underachieving every single year. He hasn't won a title in over a decade and has not even been in the hunt for one since what...2017? If you can't see how much more improved the entire football program is now compared to 10 years ago then maybe you shouldn't post on the football forum. Conversely, the basketball program has been in decline for many years

Not from this guy, I'm realistic. Most UK fans don't expect to win a natty every year. They do want UK to play well in the tourney. But there are some unrealistic fans.
Personally I have never watched a complete game/match etc. of UK baseball, golf, tennis, rifle, cheer, track and field, hockey, and so on. Now I'm not really a fan but I only watch 2 sports at UK unless they are have a bad year. Then only one or less.
Was n the hunt in 2019 and 2020 as well if the tourney was played. I can't say one possession away from final four n 2019 isn't in the hunt.
I agree with your overall point though. I am more than ready for a change n basketball.
Football is never going to do better than Stoops so he can stay until he retires.
High handed basketball fan trolling the football board. For what purpose? Cause trouble and waste everyone's time.
Seriously, I don't know how long you have been a fan but my guess would not be very long if you're so dismissive of Stoops accomplishments. Being a Kentucky basketball fan is easy (not so much lately), being a UK football fan is hard, historically speaking. I get as much excitement and high from a UK football win over an SEC power or like a Penn State in the Citrus Bowl as I have from a basketball Final Four.
We're not at the level of a Georgia or Alabama but we have been consistently closer than anytime in 70 years. We have enough talent to have a puncher's chance in those games. It's been a gradual process and we have a head coach who is willing to adapt. UK basketball has been given every benefit, every advantage over 99.9% of programs out there so, and yeah, we'll see what happens this year and I've about talked myself back into being all in but I am worn out with the lack of substance, success, adaptability, and too many players who don't understand the privilege of playing here.

This is an incredibly stupid take and of course has no validity to it.
But considering the source............
You’re out of your mind. Not as invested in football? Go back to Rafters. You ooze no excellence. Just a bandwagon front runner which equals WEAK
Championship or bust? Since when? I love Kentucky basketball but cmon. As a program we have been praying for a seed above a 6 seed every year and “playing close to home” for nearly the last 10 years. You’re also trying to compare playoff system in which one has like 19% of D1 teams in it compared to one that has 3% of FBS teams in it. At least Kentucky football gives something to be excited about. Basketball has been just a basket of disappointment for longer than I want to remember
Exactly why I hate some of our basketball fans. Spoiled brats.
As I recall, a bit more recent than Kentucky's last football national championship.
But your point is well taken-I understand what you're saying.
