Between the "whiff" posts, the "you must be Pope's wife" posts, and the sexual innuendo for those outside the hive, this place does lack creativity.
The lame, unoriginality isn’t confined to one side. You can’t make any sort of criticism without a contingent of hall monitors labeling you as a troll or a perpetually negative jerk who MUST live a miserable existence. Or, “you just hate the coach”.
There’s a whole gaggle of posters here who are
obsessed with other ppls’ posts & never even talk basketball. They just go on crusades in search of any comment they see as negative & don’t actually address the subject at all, only other posters’ opinions.
They twist themselves into pretzels defending the indefensible & will even downplay our amazing history in an effort to prop up the failing coach of the moment. “Actually…we haven’t always had great players or consistently been a contender since the 40s.” I have seen that exact bs spewed here. We even had ppl on here defending the freaking Shaedon Sharpe situation.
We used to take GREAT pride in being the all time wins leader. But, suddenly, once KU passed us, total wins are irrelevant to a certain segment. Winning percentage is all that matters, now. Constantly lowering the standards while lashing out at anyone who isn’t satisfied.
Those fans are the real embarrassment of this base. Far more cringe than anyone saying “whiff” after a coach goes 0-infinity in landing elite players.
Ask fans of the Yankees, Steelers, Celtics, Lakers, etc, about their expectations. Elite franchises & their fans don’t tolerate regression or failure. Their boards are no different than this one. Go root for the Browns or Vanderbilt if you don’t want the burden of excellence weighing you down.
