WHY do our fans just keep supporting the SEC Tournament???!!!!
- Thread starter catben
- Start date
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 .
Trashville sucks, legalized scalping leads to outrageous ticket prices especially when the Cats play, $10 for a can of beer, $300+ hotel rooms and have to listen to that suck ass country music everywhere you go! And get shafted by the horrible SEC officiating. NO !UCKING WAY IM GOING. I"LL go back when they move it back to Atlanta.
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.
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.

That's what everyone always says. But it's not viable. I would guess 90% of the ticketholders are UK people. The people going to to those non UK games bought them from UK people.
It wouldn't. The whole town is taken over by UK. When UK loses early like the last 2 years the hotels empty out. You can't even give tickets away. The bars on Broadway will be mostly full because they are every weekend. But they feel it without UK.
When we lost on friday in '13 the title game on Sunday was Ole Miss and somebody. The true attendance was around 4K. And that was mostly UK people that flew in instead of drove.
The SEC tourney is all about UK. If UK just announced early that they weren't going they could move it to a local high school gym.
Watch and see what kind of whistle that Arkansas gets in the conference tournament............. The SEC knows they will need to get them a couple of wins so they get into the NCAA. .......The officiating is one of the reasons I can't sit and watch a game from start to finish. I check the score several times during the game......
In conjunction with the officiating, I really couldn't give a crap about the SECT and these teams being allowed to mug us into injuries for 4 nights in a row. No thanks.
The only redeeming quality of it (aside from a fan perspective) is because of the NCAAT deeding implications. But aside from that, we could lose opening round on purpose to stay healthy for the real tournament, and i wouldn't be upset in the slightest.
