Whatever happened to IL WILDCAT?

Great poster. There’s several of us holding it down in IL 😎. And today will be a good day!
I'd imagine. Particularly satisfying that we won that as a road game and made the "Orange Crush" cry a lot. NCAA does a truly terrible job of ensuring that high seeds actually have the shortest travel distance in their pod.
 
I believe he posted a good deal after the Pope hire but then trailed off. He had very thorough scouting reports of teams. He was a Cal supporter, maybe too much as some might say, and he got into it a lot with the very vocal anti-Cal crowd.

Not easy being a mod and trying to keep the peace here at times. I tend to agree with most of what he had to say, but I know some didn't.
 
The toxicity of the board over the last few year has eroded many a great posters will. The residual of that still regurgitates itself with every loss or bad play. It's enough to discourage a decent human being from working for free as a Mod. As a Mod he probably doesn't put posters on ignore and banning in the age of vpns is a crazy game of wack-a-mole. My theory is, his good deeds ascended him into sainthood and he's not allowed to get his wings dirtied up in the muck. I could be wrong, but I bet he's living his best life.
 
I swear I just seen him post not long ago but that’s how long it says.
This was his last post it was Dec 17 .
I can't stand Pat Adam's, like most of the rest of the people here. He comes across to me as a guy who sees himself as something akin to an "Equalizer" of sorts, sticking up for the perceived "underdog" against the big, mean "favorite" or helping the visitors against the home team and its pack of bullies. He had both of those in our Saturday game vs against Louisville. We were the favorite and the home team. So, it seems he feels he must stick up for the weaker team against the bully. Problem is, of course, that's not his job. His job is to make the correct call, not dole out justice for the "oppressed." I think garbage like we all saw in that game should get him an early retirement, but I doubt it ever will. One thing is sure- he's pathetic at his job.
 
He’s probably sporting Arkansas gear now. Wouldn’t surprise me.

I’d say many that used to be on here and are still here have some hawg attire.
 
Watched the game at a UK bar in Chicago. Not a single person there wore anything but blue. Was amazing to be a part of.
I remember watching the 2014 Elite 8 game at the UK bar in Manhattan. My dad and I went to the east regional final at MSG and left early to run to the bar before the game started. The place was mobbed, but we lucked out tremendously and got two seats right at the bar a few minutes before the game. One of the best UK fan experiences of my life.
 
plenty of accounts that do nothing but troll, especially over the last couple weeks. Don’t mind a dissenting opinion time to time or even your devils advocate type, but some stuff has been egregious

I have over 600 posters on ignore across all of the forums. It makes for a quicker and far more pleasant experience. 🤔
 
The mods here have an insane task.

I still think @jrpross , @kywildcat41035 , @Aike , @Fox2monk , and @JHannibalSmith would be great mods and alleviate some of the pressure the current mods have to keep up with all the riff-raff that accumulates over here.

I had reached out to multiple Mods and Rivals leadership to become a mod and ultimately even though it was being entertained or attempted to happen it just never did.

I'm not so sure Rivals is interested in getting more mods on their forums.

I’ve certainly never asked to be a mod. Have no idea what it takes to be a mod. Kind of strange considering I’ve been here for over 2 decades. Maybe there’s a secret handshake?
