You said you didn’t like exaggerations and Phil came back with one. At least I thought he was joking. My brain may still be fried from Derby Day.

As a Gen X guy myself, I somewhat understand some contempt for the boomers. The show "ThirtySomething" and the movie "The Big Chill" were pretty self-centered
Idiot "fans" that think they can control Social media and believe everything we say about the team should be nice and optimistic ALWAYS
Negativity being the default response to everything. A few posters live in that space.
Already mentioned, but yea, the childish nicknames towards other programs. How immature and frankly low IQ do you have to be to think "Looserville" is funny after the 512th time?
The player one has absolutely worked out many times. It absolutely has validity but only if the player is talented enough to actually help us. We have never won a title without a key contributor from the state of Kentucky on the team.
As far as coaches this only the second time it has happened. It worked out plenty well with Joe Hall. The book is not completed yet on Pope so I will reserve judgement for now.

False. Travis Ford, Anthony Epps, Scott Padgett, Cameron Mills, Derek Anderson, Marquis Estill, Rajon Rondo, Patrick Sparks, etc. would all like a word.
This falls under the exaggeration and strawman category. Literally no one considers Williams to be anywhere near Reggie Miller's level.
Cameron Mills, Ravi Moss, Patrick Sparks, Reed Sheppard and Rajon Rondo say hello. That’s just off the top of my head and are basically recent. There’s a plethora of great in state players throughout our history. His statement is incorrect.

The ones that think they are a basketball experts when they are like the rest of us, talking basketball on a message board.
For example, the ones that said Moreno had no shot of going pro this year. because they have been analyzing drafts for years and Moreno did not have the skill set. Now, Moreno might not go pro, but like I try to point out, the NBA drafts on potential and not where people are today.

I wasn't stating that guys from Kentucky shouldn't be on the team. That statement was made because it is in the same sentimental vein as hiring former players.
There are plenty of examples of former players from the state that have done well. However, a lot of times fans give way too much importance into that aspect of guys and refuse to believe that the player just isn't good enough. Some were wanting Dontaie Allen back and stating that Jake Feldhaus was already better than Kam Williams.
You're far more likely to get a Stephen, William or Daniel than you are an Alec Baldwin.
Kam hit 28n3s last uear and weren't 8 in the one game?
Reminds me of bledsoe when he was here. He wasn't a super good 3 point shooter as I recall but then he hit 8 against wake forest n near. Then he couldn't hit anything like everyone else against WVU. He hit 49 3s and 8 were n one game.
Kam probably hits a similar number if he plays all season. He's not the savior some think I agree.
Unc just showed how hard it is to get your top target.
I used to read this board for information on the team. The last 2 years I just read it to laugh at a lot of these stupid posts.
My pet peeve is when you gotta do that thing that no one else said to do but exactly like the thing says it’s supposed to be whenever you have the thing that keeps the thing how the thing.
Calling everyone that doesn't agree with you a troll.
Just seeing the thread but this is a big one for me. I'm all for humor if it's at least clever. We've got folks here from their 20s to their 80s but I don't believe younger guys are using Cow for Cal, Poop for Pope, Ricky Pee or Pricktino for Rick Pitino, and Loserville or Duhville for UofL and thinking that's funny or clever. That feels like cornall, older gen, Facebook type humor and it's really just cringey to read through it and then see that it's somehow gotten likes and all that.
the whole whiff thing, someone who acts like they are right all the time, people who go with the majority who don't add anything new, the whole of you come from a small school you can't be any good(ie Antonio Reeves, Walter Clayton, Yaxel Lendenberg etc)
Your post makes a lot of sense. I get you ...
I think Olson turned us down twice, but not sure.
YES ... Eight (8) against Bellarmine in Rupp.

Getting residue on my hands- cannot stand to have dirty hands- go into bathroom and wash hands which triggers need to piss. Piss and then slowed by dilemma of inefficient use of time for doing redundant task vs. needing to wash my hands again. Its a losing scenario every time.
The anon posters that are imposter's that act like keyboard bad$&# . These people are deranged and sick in the head .
Yes Olson used us for a raise twice, in 1985 and 1989.
The most recent 4-year in-state players are Derek Willis and Dominique Hawkins (2016-17) ... Trent Noah may be the next.

Basically when you can’t have a differing opinion from the original poster or majority of posters.
As I remember it was your side of the aisle that was constantly whining that there was not one player on the roster with future NBA potential.
Curious why On3 allows this. VPNs can easily be gotten around these days if they want to. Push for the pay board?
He doesn't either he's just being sarcastic
When did you get Alzheimer? More made up crap by you!
Speaking of Alzheimer's ... there is a mental health summit tomorrow 10-2 in Lexington. Here are the details ... including a 7:51 audio:
Sanders-Brown summit brings brain health expertise to the community
For decades, the University of Kentucky’s Sanders-Brown Center on Aging has helped shape how the world understands Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias — from groundbreaking discoveries to leading clinical trials that are changing what’s possible for patients and families. And for going on...

I'll not blame everything on this fact but things have not gone that great lately.
That was posted here many times Alzheimer boy. The irony is rich since you don't seem to recall this.
Nobody gives AF Paul. Ignore this one also. And the next. And the next. I'll order you a fleshlight ol pal
