not rivals per se so why the hate?

How about the fact that they are not in our league but they keep talking as if they are (their fans), Self has the media bought and paid for, they get more homecooking than any other program, they get praised for winning a vastly overrated conference every single year, or the fact that there is more shade connected to that program that just about every other schools save maybe UNCheat? Notice what they have in common?

14 trophy's back to back are pretty good but just two final fours in the last 10 years and 1 championship 10 years ago. For a team to have that kind of conference domination more is expected. So it looks like Kansas is good while playing Big 12 competition but just average in the post season.

Really never had much a problem until January 30th 2016. Something like 45 free throws in the second half and over time with UK only shooting 10 or 11 of those. And UK had all 4 big guys who played foul out. Not sure how much it happened before because I never paid much attention to KU but now it's becoming routine...an underdog builds lead in the Phog, and the whistles come through. "Pay heed all who enter, beware of the Phouls"
LMAO @ "beware the Phouls"...I bet you could put that on a t-shirt and sell a boatload in big 12 country

Hate is a strong word. We hate Duke. We hated UL, back when there was a UL to hate.

Kansas, it's mostly just a good source of recurring jokes.

That was a brutal no call. And I'm a Kansas fan.
I actually don't think it was so bad. I appreciate your objectivity. But I think what's mostly going on there visually is that he's running in for the steal, and the mind wants to include the steps that come before he really has possession.

I'm not saying it wouldn't be called by a perfect, Cyberdyne Systems Terminator-type ref. It's just that, while there's some gray area, I don't think anyone can argue he takes more than four steps max once he clearly has control of the ball. And one of those is a short step.

I can say definitively as a UK fan: if the most that refs handed our opponents was occasionally giving them 3.5 steps instead of 3, I'd be tickled pink. Personally.

No dislike for Kansas here. UK graduate, 64 years old. UK fan for 54 years. Nothing but respect here. Would like to see the two roundrobins tournaments at the beginning of season...the Duke/Kansas/Michigan State and Ohio State/North Carolina/UCLA done away with all together. Would like to see UK play Kansas every year ...neutral site if desired...Kansas City and Louisville or BBT in Northern Kentucky; and, UK play Michigan State every year...neutral site if desired...Detroit or Grand Rapids and Louisville or BBT in Northern; and, play UCLA every year...neutral site if desired.

Dislike Kansas...not here.

I'm not going to deny it. I do hate them, and I'm not ashamed of it.

Well you should get over it.

KU certainly doesnt hate UK. Any disdain is the same for all the blue bloods. We hate that cowardly greedy program named Mizzou. We hate our little brother in Manhatten. Thats it.

Now will I invite a UK fan to Christmas dinner. When hell freezes over. But I respect your success with 1 and dones. Well until the NBA nix it

I like this board and enjoy posting occasionally.

KU is behind U.K. in total wins by a small number. The fans hate that a less “accomplished” team is with in striking distance.

And make no mistake, we are less accomplished. You have the most titles (I don’t count Helms titles even though they were the only one at the time).

You have the most wins. Period. Honest kudos.

The hate started with Cal. Give us a break on that one. Dude had TWO final fours vacated. That’s not good, nor is it a good look. (Bill Self has had zero games vacated)

Since then, other than the Derek (sp) drunk driving thing Coach Cal has seemed to be clean

Sorry, hit reply before I was finished.

I don’t understand why some of you say Coach Self is sleezy.

When issues arises, he sits the player.

He doesn’t cheat in recruiting or we would have better recruits.

He has no vacated wins.

Other than Derek? Really.. no issues there in Lawrence? Hmmm... that’s funny.

Claiming you have 5 titles when the world knows you actually have 3 is a good place to start.

The inferiority complex is nauseating, and invites derision and scorn.

Self hasn't got caught yet. Pump Brothers, Adidas? Yeah he's clean.

GTFO with that passive agressive BS. Cal was not involved in Camby taking money from an agent, nor arranging a possible phony SAT test. If you have any proof to the contrary, we're all ears. Not a whiff of any scandal at UK either, meanwhile Lawrence is basically America's Most Wanted every year.
