I May Not Be Liked For This

Lexington is Eastern time, as is Detroit.

and yes, historically the Ohio separated North and South. The Mississippi separated East from West. Alabama and Mississippi are considered “the Deep South”. Even Maryland is technically “the South” though you’d have a tough time find much Southern about it outside of Western Maryland.

you are clearly out of your depth

I’m certainly not actually from Maryland my entire family is from the Carolinas. I’m very well in my depth and many people in the “Deep South” (btw no one calls it that outside of people from “southern” states not really in the south like Kentucky. I’m very well versed in what I’m speaking on, and yes I’m from Maryland.

 

[EastCoastYoungCat]

People can be so irrational.

It is perfectly fine to blame the 1-6 start on Cal.

It is also perfectly fine to credit Cal with the 3-0 conference start.

See how easy it was to say that? And without that wall o'text.

You completely missed my point of that’s why I chose to specify but people here only respond to what they want to fit their narrative. Of a HOF coach, who brought the university a title and much success over the years after the program was in the dumpster fire yes because it was should get a little more leeway especially during COVID year. The disrespect as I said was uncalled for. No you shouldn’t be booing, crtitcial sure, but the social media tagging, all of that is uncalled for. Like I said in my post before, hit dogs, holler.

 

[ryanbruner]

Excited for this team to continue to progress. They looked good. Lets try and do it again on Tuesday. One game at a time!

 

[EastCoastYoungCat]

At least the title of your thread is accurate.

you know...just because some fans complain does not mean they are fair-weather fans. in fact I would say those fans are more passionate than the fans who can not notice the nuances of the game. I'm not saying you no nothing about the game. but if a fan is bashing Cal or the teams results. seems to me that fan has passion. you may not agree with how their passion is expressed. setting back an accepting 6 consecutive losses and poor basketball and not complain is...well, suspect. imo.

Yes you should and can complain I just think some took it too far. Many actually.

 

[EastCoastYoungCat]

Thats a lot of games to play in to still not make it to the collegiate level.

But I did lol. And have the hardware to back it up my guy. Have you? Where did you play?

 

[EastCoastYoungCat]

False. If we were 4-4 your point would be half valid. We lost to teams they would have beaten.

How can you say that when all they’ve played is cupcakes and then up until conference time( playing p5 opponents) they suddenly drop games? Like LSU did to UF last week?

So you're certainly not from Maryland and yes you're from Maryland. You had no idea Lexington and much of Kentucky for that matter was in Eastern time, and no idea that Michigan was as well. I merely brought up Maryland because it's technically the South, but it makes sense that you're both from there and not from there because living in Northern Virginia I'm well aware that Marylanders are completely obnoxious and full of ****, both qualities you have in spades.

The issue isn’t bashing players for any reason other than performance. And these kids are progressing how they should be. However, they came in touted as some of the best in the country and have underachieved by every measurable standard. Now they are progressing. That is what should happen. The real test will be end of the season. Will everyone jump ship even though only 1 or 2 are projected in the forest round? Or will they stay and develop and increase stock for next year? I honestly believe that is the biggest reason for everyone to be over the calipari experience.

But feel free to get up on your high horse and condemn each and every fan you don’t agree with. Seems to be he norm for everything else these days.

And ,,, OP ,,, if you think you're the only person on this board who played in 1,000 games of football, basketball, and/or baseball before college then I suspect that you're sadly mistaken. But, as IndiansKid said -- feel free to get up on your high horse about your athletic experience ... which is probably about the same as the majority of posters on this board.

 

[Cawood86_rivals]

If. Maybe if Cal would have played him early he would not have played the necessary defense needed. If, if, if.

If only he were as good a defender as Boston is....

Not really saying that our schedule was not tougher so far but, we lost to at least 3 we should not have. Plus, we are Kentucky and it should not matter who we play. This schedule cop out is getting old.

I’m certainly not out of my depth like you stated before. I’m from Maryland.

We have a 3-6 team that is improving each game. Nothing more. If Cal would have played Allen earlier in the year we would be at 7-2 and looking at 2/3 seed...instead we have to be near perfect every remaining game in order to sneak in tourney.

I wouldn't say 7-2. Maybe 5-4. Plus, there is no way to ever see if that would have happen. I would say we probably would have won 1 more game, but Askew was playing like crap at the beginning of the year. So every game until the UL game it wouldn't have mattered.

you do know our NET is better than Duke, Auburn and just behind Izzo... Do they also have to be near perfect?

 

[Blueaz]

I just love how you cherry pick a freakishly talented Duke team that beat us in our regular season opener 2 seasons ago.

and don't we almost always play those teams EARLY in the season when our freshman are still freshman?

 

[warrior-cat]

Goes along with your age.

Proves I have been around longer and know more about it than you do.

However, your post made me laugh for a couple of reasons. One being the above statement.

Try 6-4.

 

[kl40504_rivals]

Try 6-4.

Try 10-0 or maybe 0-10.

Nice going OP

 

[LadyCaytIL]

ALL OF YOU NEGATIVE FAIRWEATHER FANS WHO ARE QUICKER TO BASH THAN SUPPORT ARE THE REASON FOR WHAT’S ABOUT TO HAPPEN, and I thank you. I’ve watched yesterday’s game now about 4 times and my favorite sequence of the entire game is the and-1 on Castleton by Isaiah. Go back and watch that sequence I can’t remember the last time I seen Cal that damn happy over a bucket. He damn near jumped out his suit he couldn’t hide his emotion. The whole sideline erupted. Bruiser, Terrence, everybody, look at Rob!
I’ve played football, basketball, and baseball my entire life since I basically could walk, played in a 1,000 games up to college. I know FAMILY when I see it. That’s not a team that’s a family. And you guys brought them closer. All the bashing of the players, the coaches, the program, the kids talents, BOOS. They hear that is 2021 they hear EVERYTHING. So now they’re playing for themselves and Keion was that extra jolt of life and you can see it. It’s infectious, I can feel it, I got emotional watching it because I know what’s about to happen. I love EVERY UK fan but a lot of us really don’t appreciate what we have. Buckle up people it’s about to get real now!

None of Allen’s teammates know how to set a pick or throw in inside out to him. Boston threw a good pass out to Allen for a 3.

Watch this game tonight 4 times, OP.

Losing to Bama by 20 at Rupp is not the best time to be doubling down on your previous statement

Where are you from and how old are you again?

 

[CELTICAT]

Where are you from and how old are you again?

If I told you I doubt you could find it on a map or know which time zone it was in. And I’m old enough not to LARP as a fan when I have zero connection to the state, university or program. Too bad you can’t say the same.

 

[K_TIME]

1. We played a damn good game vs. decent Florida team.
2. We played a very good Bama team (but one of their best players didn't play and another top player got hurt in first half) and tye pretty much hammered us.
3. We have a 4-7 record....this team is going to have moments forward and then take as many steps back...and we are what we are which is an uneven team that might limp in tourney (or miss it all together).

In the end, this is an un acceptable season which is on the coach.

Lol and I’m more connected to the players that are brought here then you are and that’s why you’re mad that it’s not run the way it is. Just old, mad, and sad. Living your life through a keyboard.

a bandwagon Murlander LARPing as a Kentucky fan smashing caps lock doesn’t see the irony of saying someone else is living through a keyboard. You’re living vicariously through players that have no idea who you, at a program you know nothing about in a state you’ve never been to. Rich stuff.

Lol newsflash I actually KNOW a couple past players lol but it’s clear you don’t know ****. Yes I indulge on this board here and there but you’re religiously here I don’t live through keyboards. And I’m also not mad or confused enough to show so much damn negative commentary to a team that I’m a “fan” of because I don’t like how the players don’t consider your thoughts and feelings. I’ve been a UK fan half the time I’ve been here on this planet which isn’t too long because I wasn’t born in the 50’s Celt. Did you comprehend that or too many caps for you?

Lol see there it is right there! You’re mad and sad, get some help, please stop it, (wish I could post the MJ meme). You’re jealousy and hatred for Cal is crazy lol if I was a Cal bandwagon I’d been a transitional Memphis fan. But hey, maybe I actually do like Cal, and the players who wear UK because I damn sure don’t like the “kintucky fans who erg made dat darn Cal who he is.”
