Boston isn't the hand that feeds, no players qualify as "the hand that feeds". Again, UK fans aren't the only ones that @ players on social media, not even close.
Now, I would never do it and I would never boo vollege players, but it happens at every competetive sports program. Again, dudes have been beat to within an inch of their life or killed by angry fans. This is notjing.

UK was successful before BJB and it will be successful after he leaves.
Maybe my words were mixed and I agree with your points you’re a good poster here. I think I’m just saying players, coaches (when they’re doing they’re jobs adequately) and just the overall product on the floor feeds the entertainment and pride of the fan base. That’s what I mean by that just don’t want too many crazies running many off as we all know how quickly narratives form.

I’m not agreeing that it’s about race I’m just talking about the perspective of others, specifically parents and family of recruits. The way a lot of people/fans talked about the players with that BLM video rubbed some the wrong way. That feeling is still fresh and uncomfortable, compounding that with the boos and disrespect of the players for early struggles in a PANDEMIC year. Yes I can understand why it comes off to a parent of a kid who lives in inner city Atlanta that the fans of a good ole red state in Kentucky don’t care about their young African American players unless they’re winning. That’s the frustrating part with a lot of fans here. Can’t see things past their perspective, and if it doesn’t change more things will happen like the Hunter “Sally’s” Sallis situation. Kid was ours in the bag. Parents aren’t going to send their kids to be put through that.
Please enlighten me on the Hunter Sallis situation. This is the first I've heard of this.

Again, this has nothing to do with racism. You're trying to join Mr. Blessed on this racism accusation and it ain't gonna fly. It's ********. Nobody has called him an "N" and nobody has said anything to him that could be identified as racism. That's a ridiculous accusation and it isn't sitting well eith me. I'm a white guy, but I've witnessed racism too many times up close when it involved my friends, it's awful and alarming when it happens. This ain't racism.

I'll ask you one more time: Is this the only place where fans reach out to fans and post angry messages?

Is there a college or professional sports program that doesn't have fans that hassle players on social media or in person? If so, name it.

The thing is, UK fans have been like this for decades. It is easier for them to do it now, but it's not just at UK and I guarantee Cal told Boston during the recruiting process that this was going to happen. Yeah, we have some dumbasses and crazies, but do does every other program.

Do you even realize just last year Cal was named Best coach and Best Program of the last 10 years? Yes this year so far has been hard and bad but your take is stupid and shows your ignorance.
Your just another Cal sucker, who doesn't have enough sense to "Come in out of the rain."

You GREAT coach has not done a GREAT job this year for being the Best Coach, nor has he done a good job the last 5 years, with the BEST players according to the ratings. In fact three schools have done a better job then him, with less talent, in his time at UK. If you like second or lower, then Cal is your man. In the last 5 years, he hasn't even got 4th best with the best recruits.

The thing that rubs me the wrong way regarding Boston, is that he hasn’t played one minute of team ball all damn year. I would love to know his assist totals. The kid never passes the basketball, nevermind the extra pass. Just seems like he’s trying to get his all the time.

Being in a slump in one thing. Being in a slump while being selfish and playing for the name on the back of the jersey, instead of the name on the front, is quite another. Dude is forcing way too much. JMO.

Call me a bad fan. Call me a good fan. I really don’t give a ****. Just calling it like I see it.

Don't feel bad, there are a lot of fans that don't care for Cal suckers, who will not face reality.

Thank you Eeyore. My group just has more of the glass half full mentality.

No problem Cal Sucker. Your glass matches your IQ, EMPTY! LOSERS never understand, they just make excuses.

OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!
No excuses from me. In your mind , if you support the coach and team, you are a Cal Sucker.
I choose to not whine all day and everyday on this board like you and others seem to do.
Life is too short to waste like that. Seriously, how many ways can you guys tell us how you do not like Cal.

The crowd boo-ed him for two reason. They knew he wasn't a great 3 point shooter. and he hefted up a 3 point brick early in the shot clock, a very selfish shot. I actually though the reaction was apt.

I’m happy you didn’t completely make a quote that dumb up, but how are we to know it’s an “aunt” of a very important recruit? At first you said it was a parent, not an aunt, so I’m not inclined to assume you remember this correctly.

As best as I can tell that’s the Twitter handle of a left political activist that follows MJ. If we start paying attention to every Twitter activist we might as well fire Mitch and Calipari for being too privileged.

I loved the espn article about Cals archaic offense. And how it has hurt several UK players who are thriving in the pros now. Boston will be another one of those guys.

Regardless of the performance of a kid, anyone that Boo’s a player is both a fool and an enemy of the UK program. Imagine being a recruit who hears of that fan interaction. Imagine being the parent of a prospective recruit. Would you encourage your child to go to that school? Most would not.
It is difficult enough for UK as it is right now. Fans do not need to make it harder.

I have nothing against Cal. I just want a coach to represent UK. It doesn't matter what Cal does, some on here support him. You are the one that answered something I put on. WHY, if life is to short to waste. You have your opinion of Cal's coaching, just as I and others do. Why must you disagree with us? I'm not interested in disagreeing with you, unless you start calling me names, which you did. I don't give a **** that you think Cal walks on water. That is your opinion, not mine. I will not respond to any of your posts, unless you start criticizing mine. Fair enough!

Nope. Because they have been raised with helicopter moms and being praised for their ability to play ball, never had to learn how to deal with adversity. So they will sulk and pout and quit when things don’t go how they want.
Lol. Apparently the phrase “helicopter moms “ hasn’t reached the Marrowbone Valley yet. Never heard it put that way. I might need more info lol.

I will try to answer each point in your post. I can see you are troubled by my responses.

I do not get on this board to praise Cal. I do respond occasionally in defense of Cal. I do not think he walks on water of course, but I do think he is a very good coach. If he leaves , like I have said before , I will move on just fine and support UK, I will support the new coach until I see laziness (Tubby) or incompetence (BCG).

If you post something that I feel is not worth questioning there is no reason for me to respond unless it is something I like and agree with, then I will push the like button. I thought that was the way discussion boards work.

Yes, I do think that life is too short to waste on "constant" criticism. I wake up each morning thinking about the possibilities I have before me. Criticizing others in a continuous stream of posts on a message board is not one of them. I too will question Cal about some of his decisions but I am not going to post 10 times about it. Those that do that are, in my mind, people I wouldn't spend time with in my personal life.

I did call you Eeyore because you seem to be negative and pessimistic in many of your posts. Name calling is elementary school level stuff but I have seen posts from you to others where you are calling them names. Cal Sucker seems to be your favorite. I responded to one of your post and went elementary school level.
So, there it is. Have a good one and GO CATS.
