Whats the deal guys????

[billoliver40]

I don't understand the negativity towards ANY of these guys. Kriissa, Williams, Carr, Jaxson...I've seen various posters lambasting all these guys at one time or another.

If you haven't noticed.. this ain't Calipari ball...it's about the team being greater than the individual rather than 'oh he needs to be the only shooter'.

Ease back and enjoy this new style rode as far as it takes us.

Some UK basketball fans on this board just like to bitch I believe. Whether it be about player performance, the refs, the announcers not liking UK enough, ESPN, etc...

Rival fans and casual UK fans that love attention and stirring the pot. Smash the Ignore button. Waste of your time.

I grumble about some of those things too but what kills me is the absolute trashing of our team and coach by a lot on this board. It's embarrassing.

My grandfathers both dog cussed Joe B Hall when I was growing up. A lot of the adults did.

This isn’t a new thing. It’s just everyone has a 24/7 global microphone now.

I sometimes wonder if some posters on here are truly UK fans.

If they are, we have more than our fair share of extremely “basketball stupid” fans.

Most are probably "fans" I would guess but they have some serious anxiety issues and just lack basic decency.

 

[catben]

My frustrations in the 1st half last night and against Clemson turned into PURE elation during the 2nd half last night!!

What's crazy about this team is they STILL have room to grow and get even BETTER!!!

We gave up a ton of offensive rebounds, missed some bunnies, didn't shoot very good from the 3 pt line but beat a top 5 team on the road without our starting PG and backup down the stretch!!!

Once this team puts it all together, LOOK OUT!!!!

I will NOT question the coaching staff anymore!! Now will I get frustrated with the players from time to time, of course. But how our team has responded to adversity so far, gives me HOPE for #9!!!!!

GO BIG BLUE!!!!

I called one of the Gonzaga players a "jackass" last night during the heat of the moment.

Is that bad??

 

[Justwantadecentteam]

They've all had their moments good and bad, but it's probably the Cal lovers. Got couple of nephews, that still don't know, if they like Coach. They don't know if Pope can get us players nor a championship. I told them they'll have to catch the / I don't believe in Pope bus 😁

It’s not hard to figure out. It’s all emotional. Nothing more, nothing less. Fans are like that. Doesn’t mean they don’t like our team.

Fans with anxiety issues shouldn’t be calling individual players names, showing favoritism, bashing our coach, etc. I have chronic anxiety and struggle when we play bad. I don’t feel the need to call Kriisa a bitch to feel better

My father, after Joe B Hall died said “he was a good man but not much of a coach”.

A lot of revisionist history about Joe B now. Same with Tubby. Cal too. Just the way things work.

I was 20 when the 'Cats won it all in 1978 and I'm not sure about "revisionist history". "Joe is a good man but a poor coach" was a very common thing to hear while he was still coaching. I don't think it was an Xs and Os problem as much as his teams having a tendency to play tight, to appear to wilt under pressure at times. But I never ran into anybody that personally disliked Joe B the way some of our fans disliked some of our more recent coaches. Everybody did think Sutton was a coaching upgrade and he probably was when he was sober. Sutton is prime example of why coaching expertise is not all it takes to be successful at UK...it can get pretty hot under that spotlight.

Lol. Not a fake fan. Not a troll. I was THE FIRST POSTER to support Mark Pope for coach at UK when almost every poster on here was going crazy over the thought of MP taking their beloved Cal's place.

You got the wrong number bud.

Looks like you just joined the board. Hmmm.....could YOU be a troll or just posting on one of your numerous burner account names???

And some may not even be UK fans. Really hard to tell sometimes. However, with that being said, fan is short for fanatic.

 

[Tprinceuk]

I will say I made a post criticizing Krissa after the Clemson game, I don't hate the kid I really just hated the fact that if he had given us just a little that game we would have won. P.s. I know he wasn't the only one that played bad.

I don't believe so. @B.B.H. is one of the good ones. Gotta join eventually.

 

[kywildcat41035]

During the game if a player is playing bad I’m going to criticize and if they’re playing good I’m going to give them their recognition. In the end I love our coach and love our players and will be there to cheer them on regardless!

I don't think @cathouse fandom can be faked. He's a passionate fan who gets it.

Calling a long time member of this site (and the two preceding this one) a "garbage fake fan who goes off on coaches and players" doesn't scream " one of the good ones" to me.
But, he is entitled to his opinion just as I am entitled to mine, without being called names like a 3rd grader.

Joining this year is suspicious to say the least.

During the game I can see it, like wow he’s been bad tonight, or coaching hasn’t been great but some are like this isn’t acceptable ever! Raaaarrhhh Pope is a bum not fit for EKU. Just too much.

I criticized him as well...let's face it he sucked. I also criticized Carr who was bad against Clemson (1-7). It's a message board..... We're fans, which is short for fanatics. Both played well (especially Carr) against Gonzaga so I am here to give them their absolute props!

I'm just not sure those are UK fans. Some of them have been around since Cal got here and are way more Cal fans than they ever were UK fans.

Yeah man, I don't get down with name calling. I chalked it up as a heat of the moment type deal. He didn't know who he was dealing with 😅

What is hilarious is the fact that I made the post as a joke....fans bitching about fans bitching, about fans bitching on a fans bitching message board. Lol.

And he blew up like a time bomb ready to explode. Boom!!

It's all good. Love my Cats. Love CMP. Love BBN. Even the crazy ones like myself.

Yeah I got the reference. Was typing an agrreable reply then I had to do a 180. We're all crazy here, man. You can tell the ones that truly bleed blue. I reckon it's mostly older folks. Not saying younger ones don't. They're just quicker to kinda fly off the handle.

Especially pot heads since longterm MJ use leads to depression, anxiety, mood swings, etc. 100% some of that going on here. They'll laugh it off like all abusers do, lol.

If you love the Cats the way I do, then you are definitely not one of the ones Im speaking of. I have no way to know who has been here for how long or what. I will tell you there was a whole week of this site where the Kerr Kriisa trashing way crossed the line. It got to the point that I got sick of it and started calling a lot of it out. Then, I got banned by all kinds of people for calling the trolls out. So now, I just said F it, I’m gonna call the trolls out until my account gets banned coz you’re either in or out. Im actually a very laidback goofy guy but I care way too much about UK to not say something about all the favoritism and faction stuff that happened all week. I caught big flak for calling out as a lot of people here want to hand hold and baby these people who are not fans. I thought you were one of these sympathizers. I, clearly, was wrong. Fact is, I don’t have much of a voice or a reputation on this pages. I feel like those of you do should be the ones speaking up. Im all about free speech but that kind of crap has a trickle down effect and gets to the team.

This exactly!!! I literally live and die UK sports! I religiously watch and attend UK football, basketball, baseball, and women’s volleyball games. That said, I’m extremely emotional and hopeful for a UK WIN but more importantly a respectable performance by our teams at all times! Yes, I say stupid shit waaayyy too much but it’s out of the passion I have for our teams! I mean no harm, I LOVE THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY!!! GO BIG BLUE
