I’ll say it…NO DEDICATED FOOTBALL BOARD SUCKS

[flacat22]

ON3 sucks for that…I’d love to be able to distract myself from the basketball stuff and focus on what should be a great, fresh start for UK football without having to sift through thread after thread of basketball negativity and toxicity.
(PLEASE don’t hijack this thread and make it an anti-Pope thread, you have PLENTY OF THOSE ALREADY)

 

[Drogon]

Especially at a time with so much positive energy coming out of UK football and being put in to it by the fans.

 

[PhattyJ]

Agreed. Wasn’t the most high traffic board there was but it had enough. Feel most football posters don’t even bother here anymore.

we’re gonn be a football school if pope stays much longer.

 

[KyWilson239]

Agreed. And that's the program actually worth focusing on.

 

[jmw23712]

Yeah this is the most excited I’ve been about football, and sadly the least excited I’ve been about basketball. I’ve actually started coming on here for the FB threads.

 

[PoopooPeePee]

More hyped for football than basketball this year. Pope sucks plain and simple. If Stein looks even decent this year I’d say recruits will start to flock here.

 

[will.ksr]

I don’t think it would be good in October after they’ve lost a few straight and most posters start putting their hopes on the upcoming basketball season. Schedule really tough this year and message boards are hardly tolerable when all the grumps come out.

 

[Tri-Countycat]

Honestly it’s lazy, how hard would it be to add a wildcat liar link and add one.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

I agree there should be one.

I'll wait until we win some games before I get excited though. Same with basketball.

Like this basketball board is NOW? Speak for yourself. OR that football board could be a GREAT place in October after a big win (or two). FON3.

 

[UKJenning]

No fear! Pope is making football the only major UK sport worth talking about.

Agreed. Unfortunately that ship sailed.

 

[Ky_Bred_Cat]

I agree and I never looked at the football board.

 

[flacat22]

Agreed. Unfortunately that ship sailed.

I guess but, thanks to FON3, I’m reminded on every page “The Devil Wear Prada” is coming out in theaters soon.

 

[TheKentuckyKid]

I miss the Lair.

 

[TommyMansky]

Stein is going to rebuild the Big Blue Wall

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

I don’t think it would be good in October after they’ve lost a few straight and most posters start putting their hopes on the upcoming basketball season. Schedule really tough this year and message boards are hardly tolerable when all the grumps come out.

Respectfully, that’s one of the many benefits of having two boards. They each have their own seasons of hope.

(That being said, I look forward to a great rebuilding season under Stein whether the wins come or not.)

I don't understand why they cant just take an hour or two tops to create two new forums on the same level as this one.. one for football snd one for The Paddock. You really dont need to moderate them unless someone reports something, which is a "push" form of notification (meaning the data/info comes to you). From there its just a matter of the routine maintenance and modifying compute and database storage.

I guess there could be a cost in the compute needed to run 2 more forums, but it cant be much.

I always thought it was pretty ****** that they couldn't keep our forums with two heavily used forums. Its not like this was the Western Kentucky Baseball forum with 3 people.

 

[1BadCat]

The least they could do is make a wildcat lair sticky thread so at least we could find football posts.

 

[meteordealer]

Matt Jones dumped the football board, so that he can have his KSR board on here.

They’ll tell you that they’re doing US a favor by keeping one free.

Having House of Blue and KSR Board seems redundant. That’s probably why they tried to phase out Drummond.

 

[CameronCat22]

There’s no money to be made in having a bunch of free boards.

 

[meteordealer]

Reddit seems to do fine.

 

[Gobigblue812812]

Reddit seems to do fine.

I'm sure they're paid much better for the advertisements for a national/international board versus a Kentucky football board.

Key Statistics & Business Model:

• Revenue Generation: In 2024, Reddit generated $1.3 billion in revenue, mostly from advertising.
• User Base: The platform has 91 million daily active users.
• Cost Efficiency: Since content is generated by users and communities are managed by volunteer moderators, Reddit’s cost for producing content is minimal.
• Profitability: After years of losses, Reddit saw its first quarterly profit in 2025 and is expanding into the "user economy" to diversify income.

Yes. And we know how hard the schedule is and know we’re hoping for 6 wins. . I just want to see them play hard and play an exciting brand of Football.

I would like if we could flair our posts—“basketball” “football” “off topic” etc

 

[Mdnerd]

Agreed. Very stupid to not have a football board.

This is just another b**ch thread. There’s 8,698 b**ch threads now

 

[Pulaski Cat Fan_rivals377587]

Agree completely

 

[NociHTTP]

Hey, try Reddit. I kid.

"great game today"
"today is not great, the weather sucks"
"It's not game today, it's game day"
"It's game"
"Game it's"

 

[Woodrow24]

I wish there was still a football board. I’m just glad there is still a free board on here.

 

[flacat22]

This is just another b**ch thread. There’s 8,698 b**ch threads now

Clarification…it’s NOT another ***** about pope thread. There’s a difference.

 

[Tri-Countycat]

I enjoy reading football content, though I don’t post much. Would like to here thoughts on the spring game.

 

[will.ksr]

You must be new to message boards in the fall.

Hardly, was around for the Joker years and even then it was never as bad as this is now.

I agree. No way to chat about today’s scrimmage or the many commits we have.

Ok. If that’s your opinion we will never agree on this topic then *handshake*
