Just exactly what was there to cheer about?
Kentucky Blue Hairs

Not funny at all. I am not a blue hair and had to use a walker and am now in a wheelchair because of a disease that I have. When you actually HAVE to use one, it isn't so funny. It's more like a punishment.

May God, at some point in your life, bless you with a walker so that you may learn compassion for those less mobile than yourself. I know that you are probably joking but there are some who will not appreciate joking about physical handicaps.
Standing is good for circulation, kept the Rupp octogenarians awake and engaged
Job well done

That may explain why the team played 'harder'.
I'm 80, do not have to use a walker (yet), what hair I have left is not blue, and I apologize for some of our fans who seem to have a tendency to talk and post without thinking.
Hopefully, when that group is old enough to be 'blue hairs', they will have gained some common sense and intelligence.
What’s there to cheer about when we are down double digits and they start cheering to try and get the team into it?
So might as well start the game cheering like that and make sure the team doesn’t play lethargic in the beginning

Then why don't you spend the money and show up and lead those cheers.
Yeah, there are a lot of walkers in Rupp. Clueless.
You won't see many comebacks better than that one last night. The crowd sounded very, very loud.
Sorry for your medical condition but lighten up it was just a joke.
When I come to games... even the mid major games I do cheer like crazy from start to finish. If you want to buy me a house in lexington and talk my wife into moving away from her family.... then I'd show up to every game...
UK and barnhart effed up by not including suites in the Rupp renovations.... get the people that treat the games like movies into a nice suite....
One thing is for sure: They made it to that age. You might not be so lucky.
Hey, I'm ONE OF THEM. :smiley:

Those blue hairs have been huge UK fans for more decades than most of those on here who complain, have been alive. They should be respected, not ridiculed.
It is NO JOKE to make fun of someones limitations. There are other things to joke about, don't joke about someones handicap. Not funny. I can laugh at real jokes but when making fun of someone I can't laugh. NO HUMOR.
Unfortunately, there are no 'walkers' for people who are so sick as to make fun of the handicapped.
Me and my two sons 9 and 12 went to the UT game last year we were sitting next to a 6"5 380 pound man who literally took up my seat and my kids. I had a 130 pound teenager in my lap. Just no point in paying big money for that type of comfort lol
I was at the game last night, section 231 high atop Rupp and our section was crazy on fire, I'm still hoarse today . there was a couple around my age (mid 50's) sitting in front of me and hardly ever clapped n never we're screaming .It kinda bothered me as I was clapping n screaming the entire game . As I thought further about it I thought "maybe that's just the way these folks cheer for our Cats" afterall they paid bout the same price for their seats that I did so I gave em a pass. Hey not everyone is a screaming lunatic like me, they seemed to be decent folks. Different strokes I guess, I still love em, they're our brothers n sisters, they paid for their seats!
Go Big Blue!!!
Go Big Blue!!!
It’s easy to tell which posters have and have not been to Rupp. I used to think our crowd was terrible as well... until I went to a game. 7 games later what I’ve noticed is that it sounds totally different on TV than what it actually sounds like in the arena. The crowd stays pretty loud for the vast majority of the game but on TV it only sounds loud a few times, those times when it’s deafening in the arena.
Rupp crowds are a lot better than given credit for.

If they were the cause for us winning.. Then they damn sure were the reason we came out flat. Works both ways.
You were the first one to find a problem with it.
Duke has many foreign students. It’s essentially an Ivy League university. It’s a manufactured Fan base. Duke historically isn’t even top 2 in their own state in fan support.
Most of those kids didn’t know anything about Duke basketball until they arrived on campus for advanced organic chemistry. I don’t care how wiggly they wiggle their wittle wristies. I’ll take Rupps crowds at double the size. Just look at how they act, and how they dress, they look like someone told the Duke chess club they were going to rein-act braveheart so get your TI-83’s and show up at Hansboro indoor @ 8.
I like genuine fans that are home grown. Duke is a bunch of fake *** douchebags and I can’t see why anyone would want on that bandwagon.
But yea racism and stuff I got ya. Don’t care in the least if that’s what you take out of it. Knock yourself out.
I’ll give our fan base a lot of credit this year. I’ve seen games at Rupp where if the team gets down the crowd goes silent in disbelief.
This year they’ve really rallied behind this group. And a lot has to do with how great these kids are. When our kids are likable and hard working the “hate one and done” crowd seems a little quieter, unlike years with say Hami.
The crowd has been awesome this year.

This thread is embarrassing
I know...don't click or post if it offends you.

Didn’t have a problem with it lol. Just found it odd that it was how you chose to describe their crowd. It just would t have crossed my mind in a million years.
I hate the Cameron Crazies, but UK has a BIG bandwagon following around the nation.
Our basketball team played like they had one foot in the grave against Arkansas. The crowd was not the problem and never is.
We probably lost a 1 seed with our piss poor performance. Yeah I know a win is a win.

Glad you enjoyed it. Anyone can find an excuse if they want to. No problem. Each to his own.
Memorial was/is superior to Cameron.
What does this even mean? How old is he? Anyone over the age of 6 knows you don't make fun of someone.
You do know an older person uses a walker because they don't walk as good as they used to. So getting old is sort of like a handicap. That is still making fun of someone. How old are you? You are very immature by taking up for someone who obviously is making fun of old people.
