He blocked me after he posted some amateur-level comment like "good luck scoring on UK next year with Wallace and ____ (I think it was the Texas Tech transfer who didn't end up picking UK) on the perimeter" and I replied, "Really? You say this every recruiting season. You know better by now, these freshmen need time and don't actually shut down the opponent like they do in high school."

That's it. Got blocked. He's a ******.
I have heard he is quick to block folks. I would think the more exposure he has the better- even with dissenting opinions.

Has anyone else been blocked by him on Twitter? He posted some super snarky comment all butthurt about people being irritated with Cal over the basketball school comments. I commented on it and said Coach Cal's laptop getting riled up. 🤣

And yes, that got me blocked. Dude must be pretty thin skinned.
He blocked me after he repeatedly trashed a 16 year old in DC who did nothing wrong, except for the incredible crime of wearing a Trump hat.

And then once it was proven the kid did nothing wrong, the jerk refused to apologize for his disparaging remarks.

I have no use for him.

His post about Wheeler's 3 point stoke looking "more consistent and confident" while shooting empty gym unguarded 3s was total shill stuff.
That kind of stuff is what keeps him having access to the program. Sad but he is not a journalist but a mouthpiece at this point when it comes to UK.

All the people making fun of Tucker's job/affiliation with the program would 1. All kill to have his job 2. Are also the same people who hate Jerry Tipton. They do not want a guy that kisses the coaches/programs butt, but also do not want a guy that is perceived as too "negative" about UK.

Both of these statements are true.

So, why can't an assigned reporter just report what the fans ( his customers) want to hear about?

Actual facts concerning the team he is covering rather than his own agenda because of his personal relationship with the coach.

Tipton and Tucker both miss the mark of decent journalism, just on opposite ends of the spectrum.

Let me see if I'm understanding you. You got mad at a national sportswriter because he was talking good about UK WTF šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Last "sportswriter" to block me was Mark Maggard. God knows where old Frosty Tips is now.
He tried to start posting on another forum I frequent under the name of MeManBoy just last month . Came in making lots of claims about how great his connections were and how he was a true insider. Was so rude and condescending he was banned after a couple of weeks.

I'm going to side with Kyle on this one. I don't see anything wrong with blocking people who are deliberately rude to you. That's what I do in my non-internet life. And in fact, I've probably put 50 posters on Ignore here on RR.

BTW I think he's a great writer, but I only read his stuff on The Athletic, rarely on twitter. On The Athletic, with one exception, he's stayed in his lane, doesn't lecture me on politics.

Agree completely. Have actually gotten into back and forth a with MJ and we have disagreed but it has been in respectful manners towards each other and he didn’t block me. Can’t even remember what I did to get blocked by Tucker but he’s constantly throwing out blocks and insults to other people. Just not a good person. Have a million times the respect for Jones than Tucker.
I called mod on Cardinal board a di*k, that wouldn't know his*+-% from a hole in the ground, and told him next time I see him I'm going to pound him into ground meat. He had nerve to block me. Sensitive Tards

Most people I know hated Tipton because he asked the players personal non basketball related questions . Seemingly to try and make them uncomfortable . I don’t ever remember him asking Cal something like ā€œdid you think about going zone when the team got in foul trouble ā€œ? ā€œWhy don’t you run out of bounds plays?ā€, ā€œDo you think you had the team take the air out of the ball too soon ?ā€ Instead he would harass Kelena Azabuike about his father’s legal problems or ask John Wall what it was like growing up knowing his father was a murderer, or questioning Patrick Patterson about how he could afford the truck he was driving.

Jack Pilgrim is the same way. He blocked me after respectfully disagreeing in between stuffing his face with food.

He blocked me long ago, he’s soft as Charmin.

That he is, Matty Bangs has became the same way. He said something a few months ago that he knew would rile people up and when confronted with that he went on a blocking rampage.

I think it's really important that you investigate this and find that out, because that matters a lot and will probably lead to fuller, happier days for you.
My days are full and happy now. Unlike you, I do other things than sit in front of my keyboard. Your next witty post will be your first.
