They’re all laughing at us

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Another reason to fire Cow. All of college basketball is laughing at us. He’s turned us into a laughing stock. I know o shouldn’t care but it really bothers me seeing other fans going on UK forums/videos and laughing at our failures.

I hate you Cal.

 

[know1]

Of course they are. We have a head coach who repeatedly says - sometimes explicitly and sometimes by implication - that winning isn't the top priority at UK.

 

[BBNinSC]

That goes with the territory of blue blood status. We all have a great time when Duke loses or as Louisville is having a bad season.
Do you still care about what others think of you?

 

[ArcticChar]

I remember when we used to laugh at ku for losing to the bucknells.

 

[BlueBomb]

Maybe it's karma. We've been laughing our asses off at UofL for a few years now...and IU for two decades.

 

[BigTyrone]

Hell, I’m laughing at us too.

I was gonna pose that question. I remember they had a slew of first weekend flameouts for a stretch. Does anyone remember how many? How long did that last?

 

[Toeriver]

Stop in Atlanta GA for gas, with Kent hoodie people were laughing at me.

 

[yes_takeaside]

Out of 22 million brackets on ESPN, 1825 had Oakland.

Why shouldn’t they be laughing?

If Karma were truly real and not a fickle b word, KU would have been sanctioned to hell and back. So would UNC. Hell, the bagman for Duke would've sent some body to prison.

There is no Tooth Fairy, there is no Easter Bunny, and sadly, there is no Queen of England.

Wonder if any of them Coach or play at Kentucky🤷🙂

You’re not embarrassed by Calipari? I am. He’s an idiot, a stubborn ass, and narcissist

 

[CatCall]

It's Cal and the team that lost... but I take it personal, and feel embarrassed too. I know I shouldn't but I think it's part of being a UK fan.

 

[Nuke99m]

Why would I be embarrassed by someone I don't know. It's business, nor personal.
Cal does have to go though.

 

[PhattyJ4UK]

They’re laughing because of the way fans act. Not for losing.

A big portion of our fan base literally has nothing in life besides Kentucky basketball. And it shows.

 

[ukjenning44]

I was laughing at us last night as well.
I mean all you can do is laugh at this point.


I really laugh to think Cal is in the HOF and a janitor took a div 2 player and cleaned his clock last night 😂😂

 

[bnewt]

Hell, I’m laughing at us too.

everyone SHOULD be
uk has turned into a comedy act................and not a very funny one

My garden and golf game say otherwise

That reminds me of a joke: The tooth fairy, Easter bunny and the Queen of England walked into a bar..."

Sorry.

And yet here you are.

Its actually a Megamind quote. God I love that movie.

At the time it was made though there still was a Queen of England.

No, but there is a Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. So maybe there's hope.

Unless you consider Camilla Queen, which I guess is technically right.
But most don't care for her.

If someone is laughing at You it may be time for You 2 look in the mirror

 

[ukdaven]

our biggest night!!!

 

[MegaBlue05]

KU lost as a 3 seed in 2005 to Bucknell and lost as a 4 seed to Bradley in 2006. They followed that up with an Elite 8 in 2007 and a national title in 2008.

They also lost in the second round a lot (2010, 2014, 2015, 2019, 2021, 2023).

Duke lost to 15 seed Lehigh in 2012 and 14 seed Mercer in 2014. They won a title the next year, though.

About to say the same thing about their king. My husband is upset with the news.

 

[BBNinSC]

I’m sure it had nothing to do with the hoodie

Go back to whoever your favorite team is. It's not UK.

Buy a Kentucky hoodie next time.

 

[TOMCATS1990]

Living up around Columbus Ohio had my KY gear on at Speedway today, people were actually sympathetic and asked if I was ok. One guy came up said he grew up a KY fan his mother was a huge Pitino fan. It’s a Football thing they don’t care very much about Basketball around here. But even the Football crowd said CAL can’t survive this.

 

[FiveStarCat]

I remember when it was so easy to make fun of KU and Duke for their first round major upsets because we didn’t have any. Now we’ve become the poster boy despite having more talent than anyone. An unbelievable dropping of the bag by Calipari

 

[FiveStarCat]

Has anyone point blank asked him if he thinks he’s doing a good job and/or how he would rate his performance? Like there is no escaping losing to a 15 and a 14 and only one NCAAT win in 5 years as just an objectively shitty job. At the best program in college basketball with insane talent no less. The more I think about it, the more depressing and ridiculous it all sounds.

This is horrible. Because this fan base NEVER laughs at another school after a bad loss.
