Do not attend Big Blue Madness

[Fast3ddy88]

I mean you can do what you want, but this has to end. We as fans deserve better. Need to put the squeeze on the administration. I know people think I’m being dramatic, but this seriously is a hostage situation. It’s getting worse when he recruits kids, they take NIL money, and never play a second on the court.

 

[etownblue25]

This x a million

 

[UKWildcats1987]

I never attend any of the games and haven't since 2014-2015. It has nothing to do with the coach...just way cheaper and better experience at home IMO.

I agree that the only way to force a chance is to make Rupp a ghost town this season...but not enough people are going to do that IMO.

 

[StubbornPenny]

I want to bump this. Internet bitching is one thing but overall it's pissing in the wind. The only true power fans have is to not show up. Don't go. Don't to go exhibitions. Don't go to the bad games in December. Don't travel to the Bahamas, Vegas, or Indy. Don't go.

The only thing I hate about that is it hurts the kids. Oscar doesn’t deserve that. But Cal sure does.

So you want to penalize the players who are here by not giving them a Madness experience? And a bad look to recruits visiting? How does that help?

 

[yabbadabbadoo_rivals213851]

I won’t be there
Ed says he’s going though

 

[MegaBlue05]

I wouldn’t do that if you paid me. Went to one. It was boring AF.

 

[bigsmoothie]

Never been to one. Not my thing. But it would be a shame if Oscar didn’t have a good night. But you don’t go to prove a point to someone who doesn’t even know you are trying to prove a point to them. Makes zero sense

 

[yabbadabbadoo_rivals213851]

Buy some popcorn for me
I’ll be doing something more important like watching paint dry

Poor Oscar

 

[yabbadabbadoo_rivals213851]

Oscar will be fine

Missing Big Blue Madness isn't much of a sacrifice these days. It's terrible. I haven't even bothered to watch it on TV the last few years.

 

[Fast3ddy88]

Poor Oscar

Oscar is only back for 2 reasons: God and money

Players get penalized by the NCAA when their coaches or admin get caught cheating. The fans are the victims here, not the players. They’re doing ok.

 

[WildcatfaninOhio]

I know people think I’m being dramatic…

I do!

 

[WildcatFan1982]

Big Blue Madness is boring and I haven't been in 10 years.

You aren't stupid but this is stupid.

Be a fan. This was a possibility with Sharpe all along and we should field a really good team next year with or without him.

On top of that Oscar deserves all of the fan support possible and a packed Rupp Arena.

 

[Fast3ddy88]

I do!

Thank you for your constructive criticism beautiful!

I see what you’re saying… and realize you’re the stupid one here. If it was a possibility, why didn’t he play?

FIFY

As far as MM goes I've never seen the attraction , at least the last 10 years since OAD hit . We should all relaize Lexington is nothing more than a blink for getting $$ , whether it be overseas , G league , NBA , or getting NIL cash . The golden goose is almost dead . NCAA has killed it

 

[Thunder Mash]

I feel bad for Oscar. I want to support him because he's my favorite UK player in a long time. But going to games is also a show of support for the sh!tshow this program has become. I can't do that.

I wish there could be a team of Oscars with Oscar as head coach, too. I'd be there every day supporting them, lol.

 

[Ukbrassowtipin]

Bbm is boring...I went to the only one that was relevant, when Wall came down out of the rafters

 

[UKWildcats1987]

I cannot think of any 2 better reasons, especially the last one.

The days of anyone coming here or to Duke or UNC or any big name program for the "love of the game" are long gone with NIL IMO.

Pandora's box has been opened and college sports will never be the same. Good or bad, the verdict not in.

I propose changing the name from Wildcats to the Fans !

 

[BlueInBrooklyn]

Good. Tickets for someone who wants to be there.

 

[HagginHall1999]

I actually didn't mean to call you stupid...lol. I meant to preface everything to say you aren't stupid, just that the take was.

So clearly I am stupid

Anyhow, just don't think punishing the players that will be on next year's team is cool. Boo Cal if you want...that makes more sense.

 

[CB3UK]

In fairness, I never do. I go to the Blue White game.

 

[jwheat]

No one else go so cal will be able to hear me when I call him a greaseball

 

[kyblue'92]

**** is stale. You people are crazy, gold standard. Watered down scrimmage with Seth Greenberg & Sean Farnham's face all over the screen while it's going on too. Short of an alumni game happening, it's monotonous. Besides, it's all about that Sunday before for Cal, Pro Day!!!

Well now I feel bad sir! I’m sorry!!

 

[RoyKent]

So, are you really a UK fan if you are encouraging others to not support, attend or watch UK?

I am sure this is a great idea that many will take to heart. There certainly won't be 15,000+ in Rupp for Big Blue Madness, all thanks to this super great thread!

So you didn't enjoy Wall, Cousins, Knight, KAT, Fox, Bam, Herro, etc...? If it's been 10 years of misery why do you pay attention to it?

 

[HagginHall1999]

Ha, don't feel bad it was my fault. Should have proofread. It is the autocorrect on phone...

Players will be alright. I'm kind of more worried about the fan experience.

I just thought, “ok… we’re going straight for name calling. Honey, get my gloves!”

Are you fan if you unwaveringly support your program as it goes down the toilet, or are you a fan if you attempt to do something to save that program? I'll hang up and listen.

I’m done until Cal is gone. F Kentucky basketball.
