WHY do our fans just keep supporting the SEC Tournament???!!!!

I loved the Arkansas games. I was referring to the other thread bout the SEC being too tough for us

I know. Just silly talk. 😉

The head of officiating contracts the same people regularly. Referees are a club.

Exactly. I don’t understand why when I watch high school gams in person the officials are pretty darn good . I would love it if one season the schools went totally with the best high school officials they could find . The problem with the fraternity as it is now is refs who have been around have a bias against certain schools and try to get even for their buddies like Higgins .

We used to go regularly and gave it up about ten years ago for the reasons stated in various treads above .
I actually think we would be better off this year losing our first SEC tournament game and getting rested and mended for the NCAA .

For some of us, Western Ky .Nashville closer than Lex. Atlanta USED to be a fun trip. Also for many of us that go it's our best chance to get decent seats to a UK game. Finally because we usually do very well in it. Cal got the last few years to where he stopped even trying to act like he gave 2 shits about it. I don't think that will be the case this year. After going for 12 years minus Covid I stopped going 2 years ago out of digust. Considerable investment to go see us tank.

We go every year and we never watch any of the other games. Almost no one else does either. We always have lower level books. I try to sell tickets to the sessions we are not attending. You might get $10 for them?

I did call the hotel today and change to getting there thursday instead of Friday. You are right about the expense though. Our hotel downtown is now $1300+ for 3 nights. 2 LL books are going to cost at least $2500 this year. maybe more? Be a $4500-5000 trip if we end up staying all 3 nights.

I would hang out Thursday and buy books off the losers for cheap.

The tourney will matter this year. We need it to get back to full strength and our lineup set again. Every game will be against a quad 1 team basically. It’s huge wins for the seed and our record.

If UK fans didn't go, the sec tournament would still sell out and the always packed bars would barely feel a difference.

Anyone that went any of the last few years its been in Nashville knows this is true. So it might sound like a good idea, but in reality would achieve nothing.

Years ago it would be a totally different story but not now.
