You’re still ranting about this? Easily offended? And there are literally an uncountable among of more divisive things they could’ve done.
Who else is planning not to watch tomorrow?

They want to use their sacred “platform”, then they need to put their big boy pants on and deal with pushback.
I'm not a big fan of the "look at me culture". I think that is what's making up a big portion of UK's team these days and it is also a big part of the reason why we stink. The kneeling, these increasingly wild ass hair styles, all of that is a sign of attention craving, about being an individual. Before Cal arrived none of this would have been tolerated here. Much like in the military, most of our players looked similar because they all had to conform to a certain dress code. If they wanted to stand out, they had to do so by their effort on the court, not who had the wildest hairdo. All of this stuff is just a symptom of the bigger problem here. And that problem is we've become a program of individuals, not a team.
I totally agree with you. I don't think this poster has grasped the concept that people can have different opinions on something. And if they do disagree with his opinion, then he results to name calling. What a guy!!
I like spinach and the flag. If you disrespect either, I’m gone
No, because At almost 50 years of age I’m now a Gonzaga fan!!! Unless we do go on a run in March, then I’m back to true blue
Probably watch the 1st half then depending how the game is going I’ll watch the UFC on ABC at 3pm. Then the NFL playoffs afterwards. Cooper might have 30 tomorrow.
I can understand your dad's nurses concerns, lol. I think nearly every UK fan had a heart attack watching that game!
My son, who turns 16 on Tuesday, had obviously never seen that game, so we watched it earlier today. He said to me: wow, they really knew HOW to play the game back then dad. I STILL can't believe Rod Rhodes missed BOTH of those free throws at the end of regulation.
To the OP: no, I will not be watching the game on Saturday.
No real interest in watching another train wreck.
I've been to Final Fours, SEC tourney's and lots of big games in Rupp but, right now I really do not want to watch. It saddens me to type those words but, there it is.

It was a great post. Lots of real world common sense there. But, it looks like the original post by the author is gone. Either he deleted it or admins deleted it. Glad I got to read it in your quote.
Since sports have existed they have been a platform for protest of many different 'causes'.
my dad was army, older brother retired marine, and younger brother is active and flies C130s in the AF.
my grandfathers served and all 5 uncles, whether it be drafted or enlisted. My dad played baseball at UK and then served in Vietnam and lost his brother in that same war. I'm one of very few men in my family that didn't serve. I went to college, played baseball, and then went to work
of those I mentioned that are still alive, none of them have given this anthem protest 10 seconds of their time. They don't view it as a disrespect of the military or anybody that fought for them to have that freedom. That would be hypocritical.
that said, we all believe there is a much bigger problem facing this country in general when it comes to national pride. The last few of generations have had way less, per capita, people serve in the military.
hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times
this is true over thousands of years. I think that is as true as ever and we are seeing it happen in America. It's a great country but the last few generations haven't truly had to fight for it, myself included. Fighting for something is what manufactures national pride.
gulf war, Afghanistan, iraq, and so on were not wars that 'protected our freedoms" or kept America safe. That is zero disrespect for the soldiers that lost their lives in those wars. They were being soldiers and doing what they signed up for. Both of my brothers served in those and they would say the same. none of those wars were going to determine the path of this country as a ww2, ww1, or those before them
so me and my military serving, diehard UK family, will watch every game, regardless of a message young people are trying to make. While I disagree with that being the way to convey whatever message they are trying to, I respect the right to do so. I certainly won't let it take away the things that mean the most to me
and I respect any of you thst feel differently and choose not to watch. That is what makes us, us. My biggest fear is my 3 young boys are growing up in an America that seems to be losing that pride and that respect for one another's differences, and THAT is what my family fought and died for
Longest post I've written in 10+ years lol

So you were ok with blm/antifa rioting, looting, burning, killing, etc all summer and fall??
Why are YOU so bothered about something that bothers me? Have I tried to convince you not to watch? No. This is the problem. You bash away at anybody that has an independent thought. Message board warrior and bully. If my thoughts bother you so much, then don’t read them. You just make yourself look silly on here. How are you related to Cal, anyway?
False. You get so triggered about anything negative about Cal that lose control and bash away. Worst poster on the board and that is saying something.
Think we have a much different meaning of trolling. You said that peacefully kneeling during the anthem is the most divisive action the team could’ve taken. Do you want me to enumerate the things this team could’ve done that are multitudes more divisive?
This should have been Cal's response to these pampered crybabies. Educate yourselves. But who am I kidding, Cal doesn't care about education he only cares about the money. Never mind the college experience is something you can never replace no matter how much money you have.
LOL....hardly.
More along the logic of a liberal attempting to try and sound smart.
Tech also has a different coach. The new guy doesn't have the balls to do it.
No. There is nothing triggering about you. Not sure if that’s your goal, I’m sure it plays a role. The problem I have is this...
I can either give you attention, which spreads ignorance by giving you a spotlight, or I can ignore you which allows you to spread ignorance unabated. I debate these things internally.
Texas A&M where Buzz Williams now coaches also stays in the locker room during the anthem.
I still think you are a troll and just come here to stir up arguments. Not going to work on me, sonny. Go hump somebody else’s leg.
