If you hated them before, why did you pine so much for their coach?? I'm so glad we didn't get Hurley. I hate Uconn. Let's beat them, not join em.

Ok man. You don’t look at a coach with back to back titles and go “yeah he sucks”.
He's a great coach. So was Coach K, so was Roy Williams... You wanna go after Bill Self now? No! Why? Because we don't go after other blue bloods coaches looking to save us. How desperate of a hire would that have been. I hate these teams. I don't want any part of them in Lexington!

Oh same. But now it’s up with KU level hate for me. Their fans are running their mouths, which is to be expected, but it’s become nasty like calling our fans “hicks” and “rednecks”.
I would call them much worse

You don’t go after Self because he’s a cheating piece of crap.

What about the other points about stealing another blue bloods coach? It's weak, honestly. Also, I have a feeling he wouldn't have been a good fit here in ole Kentuck. I don't think it would've gone as well as most pictured. The guy has already won two. His legacy is set. If he came here at his peak and suddenly couldn't reach that peak again, that would be a helluva lot money down the drain. Give me Bruce Pearl and he wins a title in the next 3-4 years.

The discussion was about the UConn fans calling Kentucky fans hicks and rednecks so I am talking about Kentucky People over people from the Northeast. My comment has nothing to do with coaches.
And you're still stereotyping people from the NE. I've known some very good people from up there. But if you're just doing the playful banter thing (Yankees vs Hicks) I can appreciate that.

Things are rolling for them for the moment. That could change suddenly as we have seen here. Might have second thoughts then but too late.

People that thought we were going to get Hurley were delusional. I tried to tell you all and give the reasons why but some people think we could throw $100 million at the corpse of Adolf Rupp and he'd zombify and coach next year.

As if their fans didn't call us hicks and rednecks long before today??

I have been to NYC and am basing my opinion off of the people I met there. They were the rudest people I have ever came across in my travels.
I understand, but NYC is just a fraction of the NE. When you have that many people in a melting pot, you're going to find everything sped up and people protective.

New Englanders are the most insufferable pricks in the world. There's a reason the whole country hates them.
Had a boss from NE once. He actually wasn’t too bad but he’d been transplanted south for awhile. But if you pissed him off my goodness. The NE prick would come out quick.

I have never had experiences with anyone from Connecticut but hear the KSR guys talking about they were the rudest fans they have ever came across with the exception of maybe IU fans. Again that isn't my experience.

I’ve had experience with Bastin Sox fans. There’s a reason I don’t care for the Yankees or The Red Sox.

NY does not count. They are another animal entirely. Too many people and many of them are just insufferable. Great pubs and music, though.
