Losing interest in UK basketball

[east_ky_cat_fan]

I don't know if it's the one and done or what but I really just don't care about this team until March madness. I have no connection to them. It's like I don't care until the tournament.

I would much rather watch and root for the football team like every other state besides Kentucky, North Carolina and Kansas.

On that note, did you see that attendance is down so far this year?

I wish you'd lose interest in Rupp Rafters.

 

[Calsthebomb]

Keep playing like this and RUPP will be empty.

 

[jgodek]

You don’t like them because they’re not as good as some of the teams in years past? Man, if that’s not the definition of a fairweather fan...

 

[BassProCat]

LOL

Thanks for sharing.

Wow...

Don’t let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya

Fair weather fans are the worst. We don't need you anyway, this team will be just fine. Give it time!

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

Another unfamiliar poster crawls out of their hole and starts a thread. Go figure!

 

[blubo]

Why don’t you write a letter to the team and ask if one of the players will be your pen pal, then you could feel like you’re connected.

This was the least excited I've been leading into a year. I basically waited for BBM to figure out who was even on the team. I didn't even get that disappointed feeling when Kansas beat us. Not sure what it is, but I'm sure I will get more into as the season progresses.

I've been more apathetic towards all sports really.

Athletes kept saying "Don't hate the player, hate the game." I've taken their advice.

Take some viagra or B12.

 

[BostonCat2001]

the irony is that we have guys like SKJ and WG that i dont know how you cant feel happy for each time they make a basket if you are a real fan.

Well, in fairness, that's the story all across the country, not just here. And that problem ain't nearly as bad here as it is elsewhere.

Unfortunately, the sport of college basketball--as a whole--just ain't what it used to be.

Good advice.

Hopefully I won't get an erection lasting more than 4 hours...unless the old gal was in the mood for some cardio.

Sadly I have too. I haven’t got over that Wisconsin loss. It changed something for me. I have zero patience with Cal now and I just don’t like him like I used to.

I wanted Cal more than anything in the world 10 years ago. I couldn’t have been more happy when we got him. The man walked on water in my eyes his first three years. The Archie year didn’t sit well with me but I was able to let it go by the next year. 2014 was a frustrating year with the highest high in the tournament only to blow it. That’s when I started to lose faith in Cal. 2015 felt like the first 3 years again but that Wisconsin game was the breaking point for me. I haven’t had the same excitement and desire to watch the Cats since.

Hell, I didn’t even watch the Kansas game the other night just because I didn’t want to get pissed and be in a bad mood. I’d just flip over every half hour to see the score. That’s crazy to me because before 2015 I would have missed my own wedding or a family funeral to watch the Cats play.

Part of why I’ve lost interest besides Wisconsin and Cal’s lack of coaching is losing so many players each year. I don’t mind losing the Fox/Monk types. They earned that right to go. It’s the Briscoe/Humphries/Teague/Goodwin types that piss me off.

we have a couple of trolls in this thread
one is a well known troll

 

[Cardsstink]

Duke only up by 2 and Bagley is playing. Cancel the season for the bluebloods. It's over.

I think Cal is as good of a coach as any in the game.

I think he's exposed how professional the college game has become and isn't silent about his intentions. The reality that the players don't give a crap about Kentucky and the tradition makes me see it more as a business than a passion sometimes. I'm sure it's always been that way. Cal just makes the game known and he recruits players that have more options.

99% chance if we were up 15 in this game right now, this thread would not be here. So many on this board swing their emotions so wildly every 2 or 3 minutes based on the past 5 minutes of game time.

Boo hoo

Our coach couldn’t go 40-0 so I don’t even care anymore. GTFO.

Luckily, your opinion isn't worth 2 cents.

 

[*CatinIL*]

I like this team. Yeah, they will lose some games but I think they'll be OK by the SECT. Plus, if you're someone that's tired of the One-and-done method then this may be the team to actually follow more closely...IMO.

That's not the case with me. I actually like the way this team is built. It doesn't have a single transcendent talent like a Wall or Davis but it's so long it will be incredibly disruptive when they figure out the game.

My interest isn't lost, it just isn't as intense and doesn't have anything to do with these kids on this team.

There is not one person on this board who believes a word you say so you might as well post fewer of them.

That’s the irony. These idiots want 4 year players but don’t want to give them time to develop.

You'd rather watch the football team instead of a team that's had a good chance to win the championship in 6/8 past seasons? Lol, k

 

[JoeBeeHall]

Goofiest post I ever wasted time reading .

 

[KyFaninNC]

1. the OAD makes it very hard to have a connection with the players
2. players not playing for the school
3. the corruption
4. the shady shit going on
5. NCAA not enforcing rules consistantly
6. officiating is horrible and no relief in sight
7. not entertaining, you can see better basketball at middle schools

This all makes me not as enthusiastic about watching college basketball. I still watch the cats, but it sure is not very exciting basketball to watch.

 

[buckkiller]

I love my cats been diehard but I have lost alot of passion since Wisconsin loss really. Been getting frustrated with Cal as well. I don't know if I can put my finger on it but the program needs a shot in the arm IMO. I think missing on Bamba, Bagely, Barrett plus Zion seems to be slipping g away as well just really sucks.. I don't know I'm just down but not going to quit on them. Ready for some dominant teams again. Like 09,12,15..
