Yes, because presenting the entirety of the story instead of a version that Matt Jones wants to share to throw shade on a fanbase/school because he like ALL of us would love to have their HC leave them--is just doing so because I want to shit on KSR.
You also realize it wasn't just Matt Jones commenting on the size of the crowd right? But sure once again it's Matt Jones's fault.
I think we’ve misunderstood each other. Personally I can come up with multiple reasons why Hurley would/should (it’s UK, almost only place in college that could be considered upward move, $, history, support, challenge, etc)…and why he wouldn’t (ain’t broke dont fix it, 3peat attempt, less pressure while fighting for blue blood status, location 😉)… But idk the mind of Hurley, his personal mitigating factors, and coaching hires (or denials) can be completely illogical superficially. Along with most chatter trending towards a “no”, but that could end up being completely wrong.
Completely agree with this. If we are going after a college coach, he is the play. He is undeniably the best and hottest right now. But his antics at times border on cray cray. If he comes to UK and doesn’t perform, those types of antics will be what this fanbase scream about. He’s like Cal on steroids on the sideline.
Almost like winning matters. And he cares about winning.
And when was the picture taken? Before the event started? In the middle of it? After it was over? Who knows?
It was him calling it their championship celebration when that is planned for Saturday. Go read what he wrote. If someone is writing inaccurate information, just calling that out is not hating someone. It's sharing the truth.
Oh don’t get me wrong, I agree with you. I think if Donovan is a no-go, he’s the right man for the job. But I also know Cal’s sideline theatrics were fine when we were winning. Winning cures a lot of ills.
Uconn is what it is because of espn
You might need a history lesson.
It’s annoying because we’re the black sheep of the Blue Bloods despite being the most successful
Dude. I’m cryin watching that video. What a time.
THIS is why UConn is not a blueblood
Congratulations you guys. Hope you two had a great time, drive home safely.
Kinda still pretty damn embarrassing that a couple thousand people showed up for their first appearance back from a back to back title run.. We have fans that will drive 12 hours plus the locals to just meet the airplane when it would land in Lexington..
Kentucky is a rare place, but it's not for everyone. (cheesy Cal pun quote not intended). The point is you can shape anything as you want. We've had people mocking a BBM attendance and then someone shows another pic where it fills in. My lone point was their planned/organized celebration is set for Saturday and for Jones to not mention that while being critical was what seems to be a very odd trend of half ass reporting involving KSR in a lot of ways. Experience it with the litany of recruiting falsehood stories but it's not as if this isn't the norm.
Maybe they have something planned Saturday idk. But if there was a welcome back celebration after a title there is are people lining the road and ending up at rupp with a packed house. Uk fans would be celebrating for a month not on a Saturday. I get that it’s at the last second but at UK last second celebrations for titles brings the state. There is a sizable difference in the following of the two programs
They couldn't even beat out the women's title game in viewership. We had an impromptu parade in 98 after the title game in Lexington that blew that little gym get together UConn had away. Anything UConn does with their fan support would be beaten by UK tenfold in the same circumstances. We probably have bigger crowds just waiting for the team at the airport and on their route home on the bus.
I still get teary eyed when I see this!!! I love my school, team and state!!
I was there as well. There was some uCon fans in NE section. Not a whole lot mind you but there were most definitely some. I'll guess at 500 +/-. If in that area you couldn't miss em. They were obnoxious assholes!
He played around with too many incomplete rosters from that point on. Missing on Wiggins for 2014; missing on Stanley Johnson for 2015; missing on virtually everyone for 2016; etc.
Very much the norm for KSR. For the most part we have an intelligent fanbase, but somehow these boys got the wool pulled over a segment.
Well, I think it's nice when a program celebrates its losses. Good for you!
Shouldn't you be back on the uconn board, yankee?Well, I think it's nice when a program celebrates its losses. Good for you!
That’s cute that you’re on a UK board after winning a title. Out of all the times Cal was rumored to go to another school, not once did I go to another school’s message board seeking validation.Well, I think it's nice when a program celebrates its losses. Good for you!
