I so enjoy reading the game thread after a game.

I understand you brother. Hard-core fans post in the moment, which is the "knee jerk" reactions that that we are talking about. That doesn't mean those guys aren't hard-core fans, because they are. I promise I'm not trying to talk ****. It's just that all the emotions expressed by fans are mostly pointless. All they see is what they see. **** happens. A game is 40 minutes, bad and good happens and regular fans don't understand the bigger picture so they cry on social media until their team wins, but how many times would their team get their asses beat if they listened to the posters on the internet? If we are being honest , the random posters crying online would get their teams asses beat if the coach did what those fans said they should do. I'll be honest I don't care much about this messege board stuff, so if I have some typos or what not my fault. I'm also about to go to sleep.
Naw. You still didn't touch the logic of my post. Another L for you.
Man when I watch the game and post it makes my experience so much better personally. This is like my basketball family lol. I want the crazy reactions. I want to read the most ridiculous stuff possible. I want to laugh. See if others are seeing the same thing that I’m seeing during the game.
I talk bad about Pope as a coach. I love the guy and want him to succeed but you more than likely will catch me calling him and a couple the players a puss sometimes. I want all of them to win when it’s said and done.
Jordan is a billionaire because he was smart enough to make money after basketball using his name and image. He's an amazing basketball player who turned that into billionaires of dollars because he has a decent brain on his shoulders. Yes he did his winning, but my post wasn't about that, it was clearly about the fact that even arguably the best to ever do it, still doesn't know what he sees. I only said that because it was stated that even former players are saying things. Those players complaining doesn't mean their opinions are more validated. To prove that I mentioned Michael jordan being a bad evaluator of talent due to him making terrible dfat picks. So to your post yes he did his winnings, on the court, doesn't mean he's right about everything, same as former players

Well that’s fair. But I gotta ask do you disagree with most of the opinions from old players or even the 85% of posters that are usually on the same page on here? Didn’t they deserve a ton of criticism?
I respect your opinion and I see where you are coming from brother. I love it. You're one of the reasons why our fanbase drags our nuts across the faces of every other team out there. All I'm saying is that the posts on social media and messege boards deserves criticism because if they turn out to be right they will let the world know they were right, the less than 10% of the time that they are. So it's only right they get criticized when they are wrong. I just wished fans could fully understand how easy it is to watch a team or coach and criticize something but know full and well that they couldn't come close themselves
See now I gotta disagree there. I went to the Gonzaga game. I would rather be an all positive guy when it’s Kentucky because I care like any good ol fan but what I seen that night was AWFUL. I wasn’t a high caliber player but I would kill all the locals type of thing and I promise you I could have gave more than they gave in that game. Something seriously happened that we may never know what it was but that was pitiful.
Maybe that’s when I started to get disrespectful toward this team and Pope admittedly I’ve been a shi tty fan I guess you could call it. I don’t want to be but that effort was unacceptable for any Kentucky team idc if it’s a Billy G team that’s on Probation with only three scholarships allowed.
They are starting to come around and I’m glad. I would rather say Johnson for threeee or Oweh with the dunk! But if they are being some selfish pansies crying and clearly having some off court issues getting beat by 35 which was the worst of my lifetime that I remember… I’m gonna call them some bad things and be pissed off as a fan. Not in real life. But I can come on here and be a ****** knee jerk fan and bust my load off.
Pope that sneaky joker is quickly making me eat crow and I love it. This whole team is making me eat crow. Now with that said I fully expect to be unprepared several more games and get blown off the court several more times this year and I’m sure I’ll have some bad things to say then also. Hopefully they just make me eat crow.
This is the one place I don’t mind being wrong. I hope to be wrong. I wanna say Pope sucks and then him go win the championship. Matter fact this team does suck. Jkjk. That Tennessee win was really gutsy and I’m gonna ride that high to the next game. Team is earning my respect
I can't say that I firmly disagree. They don't hate UK and they want the best for us, just like me and you. I won't lump every player that we've ever had into to one person, group, or whatever. We've had a lot of former players, hypothetically if 5% post something negative, that just might be 100% percent that you see. Most others could disagree but it may be something they don't care to defend or post about so you don't see their opinions. People, even former players are still human, they overreact to bad teams, same as when a team has a chance to do something great, former players talk about how they're winning it all.
I'm not exactly sure what part you disagree with. But yeah we sucked against gonzaga. Sometimes a team sucks so bad that the complaining from fans is completely justified. The thing is, is that most of those fans who criticized that game most likely criticizes games that we won, games that if we listened to them we would lose. Ultimately, if there are fans out there who criticizes the gonzaga game this year but also didn't criticize the gonzaga and duke game last year i will hear them out. But the same coaching that beat them and duke last year is the same coaching we have this year. I don't know if I've fully made my point but I do know that their isnt a coach, including hall of famers that wouldn't be criticized in the moment, by rupp rafters posters. Even if their (hall of fame coaches) same strategy wins them multiple titles.
Ik I wish I knew how to highlight like other ppl do.but I was referring to when you said fans couldn’t come close. I was assuming you meant close to being as good as them.
I know if they play at full speed all those players would beat me 100 to nothing. But the Gonzaga game I would have gave them a run for their money. That effort wasn’t acceptable and it made me get kind of sour on them fast.
Didn’t say that at all. But way to assume that. I do equate it with participation and community.
most of us have higher post counts because we’ve not only been here awhile BUT also are active participants in discussions.
So while it doesn’t equate to knowledge or intelligence it does equate to sincerity a bit.
Well Michigan is pretty damn good but they wouldn’t win even if they weren’t.
No, he’s saying starting a thread about posts after the fact are the worst kinds of posting. Knowing the outcome and then criticizing those who post in the moment. Not forming an opinion after the game. Reading comprehension is good.
I notice most of the trolls disappear after a win, and only post on losses, which is how you know they are trolls.
I can't believe anyone has a more boring life than me to go back and read 34 pages of blah blah.
I stand by my realist comments of getting down double digits. Someone posted 9 of 11 legit teams it's happened this season. You aren't winning anything that matters if that continues.
I also gave us props for shooting 3s better and a great 2nd half.
Guaranteed if we sat in Shawn's livingroom with him during a game, he would be saying the same things you see in the game thread, that's IF he's actually a UK fan.
When we post in that game thread, we are talking to other posters across the country that are also watching the game and we are saying the same stuff we say out loud while watching the game.
Yeah, it could be funny to go back and read some of those comments after you know the outcome, but that just makes you a loser with no life.

Apparently, according to you, there shouldn’t be a game thread and everybody should just wait until after the game to provide their opinion. If you have any negative emotion during a poor stretch of the game, you’re a “troll”. Yah, ok buddy. What moron has time to click through 33 pages of posts AFTER the game is over and make holier than thou comments implying that good fans knew all along we would win. That is a new kind of stupid. If we lose the next game because we can’t fight our way back from 18 points down, what are you going to say then? The pendulum swings back and forth wildly on this board and you are one of the Monday Morning QB extremes.

Came in here hoping to find some great insight into the game or how it’s difficult to not fall into the emotional cadence of a game…and it’s just some fellas yappin 
Posting about poor play is a normal thing. Kentucky has looked like absolute trash A LOT this year.
for whatever reason, they are a completely different team sometimes in the 2nd half. I don’t blame anyone that’s negative in the first half of some of these games.

Honestly, I don’t hold anyone’s comments against them in a game thread. It’s usually just nervous energy being let out.
Wrong. You didn't respond to my post though. I take pride knowing people like you assume so much and be so Wrong. Apparently you'd be impressed by watching me watch a game. I can watch a game in complete silence. I guess that hurts your ego because you lack that ability.

Keep crying because you're not man enough to control your emotions during a game. I hope you losers are in high school
Anything above that? Shut it, children

The real hardcore fans were still watching after that first half. It wasn't an easy first half to sit through. If we are capable of the second half type performances in the past two games, we are capable of playing better in the first half too. The buzzer beater against LSU and beating UT at home are definitely season highlights for me.
Well folks, we have a Billy badass keyboard commando. Meal team six, gravy seals. Coming to tell the rest of us that we are children. Brush off the Cheetos dust and go outside for a while man.
True for the most part. They just have to learn that they're most likely wrong and they lack the ability to coach the game, therefore they need to accept criticism
Calling someone a Billy bad *** after they've done nothing but state logical facts just makes you look weak. I never claimed to be a badass. That only exists inside your brain
Why did you quote the same post twice? TBH, that is just odd and it screams troll to me. I think I recognize this from past trolling. So which retread account are you?
Smart man. Tell the losers who can't play or coach the game to take a lesson from you.
This is you coping with meme like a teenager. UK won, kid.
Is English your first language? Just asking. Your entire premise is a ridiculous troll and a waste of site resources. You are clearly just attempting to inflate your post count.
Nobody is "coping" over a win in Knoxville. That doesn't make any sense at all. And referring to other posters on this site as "cucks" should get you a permaban.
