Let’s guess the attendance of the presser tomorrow
- Thread starter morristhecar
- Start date
Your account started in 2007. That’s the time frame I was talking about. If you think our last 5 years were bad, check out Dan Hurleys first 5 at UConn. 90% of BBN are unable to think for themselves and keep repeating the cults talking points and the only the last 5 years matter.
2020 was a fun year
2021 was atrocious
2023 was a fun year with a bad NCAA Tournament flameout.
2023 was disappointing
2024 was a mostly fun season with the most exciting offense I’ve seen at UK with a bad NCAA Tournament flameout
Maybe folks have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for something positive to happen to the program and those same folks now want to be part of the discussion?

I think maybe the bottom part of the arena will be full with maybe a few more sprinkled up yonder.
Predicting a full house we finally have our team back!!!!!
I agree, but BBM is on the calendar longer and folks can prepare accordingly.
The board has been inundated with trolls from other schools this week
Here’s what I’ll say. Been a fan about 43 of my 48 yrs. Took in my first game this year for the Vols. I’ll return this upcoming season for a game, hopefully the Arky game. And I hated the hire. But, you know what…it was time for a new voice. Pope has his chance. What he does with it is on him and his staff. But after 43 yrs and 1 game, I’m hooked. I’ll support him and the Cats!
Goodness - if BBN breaks 10K for a press conference that would be incredible.
12k-15k would be really amazing these days. I'm going to be conservative and say 17k
I’m going to come back to this comment when there’s a packed house
I’m guessing 18k or more, I know people say it’s just a press conference but this guy is one of us, fans will show up because there is excitement in the program. BBN always shows up no matter what
You posted at 4:40pm, and it’s 12:03am now.
If Mitch can get the students involved then over 10k. If the students stay home then probably about 5k. Hope that's way off though. I'd like to see like 15k. More than Arkansas had at least. I never saw a good video or picture of the Arkansas crowd but they claimed the lower arena was half full. So about 5k for them if that's true.
That’s one way of looking at it. A misguided approach for sure though.
Fans were sick of Calipari for several reasons. One of those reasons being Calipari verbally admitted (brazenly) that his main focus was to “change generational poverty (incredibly offensive honestly), get guys to the NBA and have a ton of draft pics each year. He admitted that those things were more important than winning SEC championships and winning NCAA championships.
That’s why fans were sick of him (along with pretty bad seasons the last 5 years).
Additionally Calipari looked down on Kentucky fans. He clearly thought he was smarter, better etc. He and his family both insinuated more than once that “many” UK fans are redneck racists.
You say “fun season” while that fun season ended in a 1st round loss to St. Peters. You say fun season while that season ended in a 1st round loss to Oakland. Oakland. St. Peters. Those are the teams we lost into the 1st round to. buT iT wAs fuN.
Lastly many fans were sick of getting entire new teams every single year. Recruiting random mid tier 5 stars with no attempt at recruiting style
Of play to make a good team. Then everyone either declares for the draft (even if not on mock boards) or transfers.
How is it fun to see 15 new players every 2 years while those players not accomplishing anything? Thats fun to you?
Meanwhile 99% of other teams actually have continuity. Players they know for more than 7 months. Players their COACH (not recruiter) scouted and recruited based on need and based on how they’d play in his system (unlike Calipari who literally runs no offense or defense).
You need to cope. Accept the fact that Calipari is gone.
