Been lurking for a few years. Had some recent life changes that present me with a bit more time on my hands these days so decided to jump in. Familiar with the 2 tribes here and their views on things. Haven’t decided which side to join yet. Could you please help me out by just giving me the rundown on your views of the program’s future? Thank you.

Are you a coach? Do you think you’re a coach? Troll? Cal lover or hater? Are you male, female or do you just use pronouns? Trump or Biden? Are you happy with the the border situation? Does Kamala turn you on? Do you work for the FBI or IRS? Do you have a CCW? What’s your stance on the 2nd amendment? Is Kentucky a basketball or football school? Are you an insider or outsider? Do you have any sources? Do you stand or set when you pee? Are you thin skinned? Do you drink, if so are you a drunk? Do you like to get drunk and heckle fans of other teams? Is wrestling real or fake? Do you enjoy attacking others on the internet? Do you love attacking people for supporting Cal? Do you like attacking people who hate Cal? Are you from Kentucky? Do you hate Tennessee? Louisville? Duke? UNC? Auburn? Are you contemplating a sex change? Does my Avatar upset you?

Your tribe is determined by how you feel about Calipari. That is generally determined by this:

If you are a Democrat cultist you generally love him and he can do no wrong.

If you are a Republican cultist you generally hate him because he kneeled with the team and pretty much nothing he does will ever be right again.

I must be an exception to this rule, then, or maybe I fall somewhere in between. I'm a conservative and usually vote Republican (though not always). I don't always like Cal from a personal standpoint. I don't know if I would be friends with him personally or not. I kind of doubt it. His ego rubs me the wrong way at times. But I do still believe he is the best guy to get this program back to where it belongs. As far as the political stuff, I try my best not to allow that to bleed over into other areas of my life. I won't allow that junk to be the focus of my life because I think I'd be miserable. I have friends from both sides of the aisle.

It was just a general overview of this board. It's a pretty spot-on breakdown though. There will always be exceptions to the rule.

Weird the OP would claim to lurk for years and not know how they feel about Cal. Also weird this OP and thread pop up the same time some sock accounts did (who have been bumping old threads and other trollish behavior)…

If you’re sincere though, welcome. For your question, that’s on you. At this point the arguments for both sides have been repeated countless times. Nothing new has really come to the table in a while.

Join the side of optimism and giving others the benefit of the doubt, not throwing around accusations and **** talking every chance you get :)

I'll bite.

Football Team has had a positive trend for several years....

Basketball Team has had one bad year and then an early exit in the tourney.

Regardless, the standards have always been high for basketball.
And one could argue that those standards have been met 1 or 2 times in the past 10 years.

Football team, well those standards Im not aware of how high they are but winning enough to be bowl eligible and winning the bowl game has become an expectation every year.

What I do is simple and I know it’s the right way because it’ll eventually piss all people off.

1. Love UK sports. Football and basketball and demand they produce.


2. Do not love men that lead those sports. I approved of Calipari in 2012. I want him gone today because he doesn’t win anymore. See number 1 one.

3. Sit back and watch as “side pickers” hate you because you’re not going to budge for anything or anyone. Call balls and strikes and root for Kentucky’s programs to be taken care of. That’s what a lot of people here don’t do.

Key word being “new,” of course I do. However this guy is not new, he’s recycled. And it’s probably you. So weird.
Definitely not me my friend, although I understand your paranoia. I've read your post for a long time. I know your respected around here.

We need 3 forms of identification! Welcome, but we are not going to tell you how you should feel. If you can't access the situation for yourself and decide then don't look for help. We are all biased, some have already saisd if Cal wins a national championship then they are still not on board, if that's the case they can go on up W64 and see how Payne works out for them, don't want or need cancers in the fanbase

I posted my OP and went to work for the rest of the weekend not sure what kind of response I’d have waiting for me today. The paranoia on this board is more than I care to fool with. I was reluctantly talked into just joining in. Thank you to the few kind posters that responded like adults I’ll just chalk the rest of you up to Cal haters. Will be looking for a board better suited to talk UK without all of the distrust. Should’ve listened to my gut. 2 post and done.

Been a conservative Republican since birth, so no you’re way off. Love Cal. Kneeling not so much, but none of us are perfect.

So your first post is trying to start a fight by dividing people into two camps and this is your last post? Nice

This board provides entertainment in many different ways. I love some of your takes and can’t stand some of the others.

And I keep coming back

I hope we have such a great season that there will not be much to harp on.
Let’s go!!!
