The ironic thing is that 90 percent of you ding dongs can’t listen to an ounce of criticism on this message board without breaking your neck trying to respond. But you expect ware to take all the **** he gets and just grin and bear it. Lol. Bunch of hypocrites. I can’t even imagine what his inbox looks like. The public stuff is probably bad enough.

I dont know you to be a troll or a poster who stirs **** , so I'll assume your question is legit -- Greenup co . , The one and only " snowman " Mike Scott was a Sophomore teammate of mine .. Started as a freshman at a little school known as Wake Forest his freshman year . Transferred to Big Blue and never really panned out , great guy , hear he can hit a driver a mile ... .. I coached at Shawnee St who recently won a NAIA mens championship in mens hoops 2 years ago .. I turned around a different program ( 4 years ago) . Coached another local HS to a FF recently in said sport . Thats enough info .
As an afterthought we had the bad fortune fortune to draw the eventual state champ in 83 and 85 in the opening round , in each of Mike's Rupp Arena appearances .. Lex Henry clay with Steve Miller in 83 and Hop town in 85 .. we wished we got better draws , LOL Does this change anything ? I dont need street cred nor anyones approval .. I'm gonna fire like I always fire .
Pretty good resume.
I remember Mike Scott. He was on the Eddie Sutton teams. Played behind Rob Lock in 87-88 and then played several minutes per game in 88-89. He played on a good team and had some very good team mates during those years. Unfortunately for him, those years will be remembered more for the Emory envelope than anything else.

“It’s easy for people or fans to point their fingers and other people to point their fingers and get on Twitter and type stuff about you,” Ware told reporters Thursday night. “But I’m pretty sure none of them have ever played in a game like that, and never will. Never been in my position or anybody on my team’s position. So it’s kinda funny to see people talk about stuff they don’t know anything about. They just watch.”

Kind of a snide remark. Yes, we watch but care. If we didn't there wouldn't be a fanbase called BBN. Just bc I've never put on the UK jersey doesn't mean I'm not invested or know nothing about basketball. Quite the contrary. I've been a UK fan for longer than he's been alive. So let's suffice to say we both have unique perspectives of caring about the program but recognize it's for the same cause. Don't crap where ya eat Lance!!!
Always thought the, "Well you never played, so therefore you don't know....."

Dumb take. Fans are very knowledgeable of the game. **** my brother has never played a minute of CBB, but dude knows the game. Just like 90% of people on here: We know the damn game. Seen enough of it to understand the "X's and O's", strategy, what to do---and well what not to do.

In other words, one doesn't have needed to play D1 basketball, to understand the game.

And Ware is being honest about some fans. Where's the problem?
I think Ware is being honest about how he feels. And he's welcome to do that.

But we played some really bad basketball late against MSU. "The fans don't know anything" is silly, and a non-argument.

I've watched Kentucky basketball for probably 30 years now. I know good basketball when I see it. I didn't see in late in the 2nd half or either of the overtimes.

Lance is certainly welcome to imply that people criticizing the team, the coaching, etc don't know ball. He's welcome to say whatever he wants. That's the great thing about America. But he's incorrect.

Agree 100% here.

I don't doubt that Lance knows some things that I don't. But to imply I don't understand basketball against Michigan State because I've never played that game--come the hell on.

We went to Indianapolis for the Champion's classic. My wife watches some games with me, but she's far from a hardcore/avid fan. She asked me last night why "UK got a penalty after Ware dunked."

Anyways--during the Duke/Kansas game, she said Kentucky needs to play more like these teams. They go to the basket and get layups and dunks. They get open 3 pointers. Kentucky just stands around the 3 point line and doesn't do anything. And she harped on how THOSE teams actually made free throws.

It's kind of horse **** to say the fans don't know ball.

"Penalty after Ware dunked"... 🤣 ...

See my wife is total opposite. But I have also officiated college basketball/HS for almost 20 years----She doesn't dissect the games like us dudes,but..........she knows enough, AND, she knows the rules. Its acutally pretty cool when your wife goes----"Thats an illegal screen----you have to give time and distance baby(talking to me)"----I just smile.

But back to the topic-----Yeah it gets my *** when people(Not just yacking at Ware) insinuate we know nothing, very little, etc......b/c we haven't played/coached, etc....I mean of course I don't know the game as well as Cal-----but doesn't mean I don't KNOW the game.

This. That place is a cesspool. And it's a lot of political arguing I've heard.
If you see political arguing then you are following that argue over politics. If you see a post you don’t like it’s easy to block that person. You get out of Twitter what you want to get out of it.

Every team Cal coaches here is fed this ******** that we the fans hate em.
“You people are crazy” Cal
Clearly an insult.
I guess we could just not care?
I don’t get it!
I honestly don't think Cal would belittle our fans when we are one of the best weapons in recruiting. And I truly believe he means we're crazy in a good way. It's the abrasive ******** that stalk them on Twitter and say really nasty **** to them is something I'll never understand.

I agree on the twitter stalkers but his demeanor is with attitude toward the fan base. Definitely uses us and the Kentucky wildcat legacy. So with all the tools this program has given him to be successful, what the hell has he gave to our program?
1 title?

Our ability to "watch" the game and see how players perform is always wrong because we've never been in their shoes. Yeah, I have a hard time agreeing with him.

Im not arguing that you have to be a college athlete to know anything. There are NBA scouts who never suited up to play in college. Not saying I'm an NBA scout but I do know of one who is.

The best part in all this is that while you mouth-breathing morons are upset over a college-aged individual having to drop the truth on you, he is going on making his 6 fugure salary while you all are talking about him on an anonymous message board, essentially giving him free marketing. Most of you all honestly could not be any dumber.
If only they could be as wise as you and create 80+ accounts after getting threatened with legal action.

You're not fat.

You're just a message board loser who's created over 80 accounts.
Lol, Dude you have over 35,000 posts and spend your days whining about Cal and Shaedon Sharpe (both millionaires) on an anonymous message board. Not to mention you being conditioned to think every new poster is lead belly.

Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better though. 🤣

Because businesses invested in it. How much have you or any fans donated to a UK basketball or Lance Ware collective?

Who do you think patronizes those businesses, you nincompoop? Do you think they are giving Lance money for ***** and giggles??? They are looking for a return on their investment, and that only comes from UK fans buying their product. You’re on here talking down to folks when you’re the mental midget.

Struck a nerve, eh, Leadbelly?

Keep creating those new accounts. This message board probably offers you the only conduit to "power" and "control" in your pathetic little gay-porn-posting life.

You're responding to literally the only loser who's been threatened with legal action on this message board in years.

He posted dozens of gay porn messages years ago and got banned. He's returned like a pathetic creeper time and again under different account names.

Lol, I responded so you struck a nerve? Since you responded, does that mean I struck a nerve in you?🤔

Don't try so hard, bud. It makes it too easy! 😉

Depends on what the business is. Which business that Lance has an NIL deal with do you "patronize"?

Posting 8 million posts = more reasonable than posting a single gay porn gif on this website.

And you did it for weeks on end, so alcohol and drugs can't be blamed.

Maybe you were just going through a rough patch in your life at the time?

I see it differently. Ware is not good enough to just shoot back. That’s what his mindset should be. I don’t like people acting classless in public to players, that’s what rafters is for. But Ware needs to use criticism and become a better basketball player. Coaches used to tell players not to respond to this kind of stuff for a reason.

This day and age we’ve lost certain elements that were so useful years ago. Everyone is just mouthy now. Ware just isn’t good enough in this sport to smile and shoot on Twitter. Use it for fuel and get better.

But people condone this type of player response without thinking hey, Ware just made excuses for being a pretty lackluster basketball player. Who does that help? Nobody.

And yes we expect Kentucky to perform to Kentucky standards. I don’t think some of you listen to yourselves. Calipari has really damaged some of our fans. With the mouthy rants from players, even Calipari’s family members, and Calipari, the guy just wants fights and his people under him in all forms mirror his image. It’s a really bad look most of the time.
This is the stupidest sh*t I’ve read on here, and that’s saying something. Ware isn’t good enough to shoot back at people, but the ones who came at him in the first place, 99% who couldn’t hold his jock strap as limited as he is, somehow are qualified to say whatever. Totally laughable.

So the bar to post here is set at being better at basketball than a current player ? That a truly awesome intelligent take there King . I have no clue who " came at him" maybe his feelings are hurt because people who know the game extremely well know Ware hasnt earned his time with good play ? Maybe his feelings are hurt because people point out the fact he has zero offense and cant make a FT's at a good High school JV level ? Maybe ? Nah .. its BBN fault for his hurt feelings . yep .

Maybe. Or maybe you're the only human alive to literally create new email addresses just to create a new account to argue with a bunch of people who think you're the creepiest fan who's ever posted on this website?
I have played you better than I could have ever intended.

I never had to post the first gay pic or gif or whatever, I just had to let you beleive it was me and let you run with it. I never had to use a VPN or TOR, I just had to tell you I was and you believed it.

You don't have to have a valid email to creat an account. You can put anything you want in the sign-up screen and go straight to posting as long as it hasn't been used before. Takes about 2 seconds.

And you continually argue with me when I am here, even though you think I am creepy or whatever. You seem to be one of the only people who has issues with me. I get amusement out of it, but I think it's becoming an actual problem for you. Take this morning for instance. I never actually engaged with you. I simply clicked the laughing emoji on one of your endless posts about Shaedon Sharpe because it was an idiotic take. You obviously took offense to that and went to laugh at previous posts of mine and then proceeded to message me in here to start another of your meltdowns.

You probably shouldn't take this place so seriously. And 36,000 messages, as well as your sensitive nature when someone laughs at your posts, says you care a lot about it and take it very seriosuly. That's not healthy, bud!

I didn’t read through all the comments so maybe this has already been said. But I’d say he means this more towards the morons who @ the players

Well the post I quoted said that “Ware isn’t good enough to shoot back at people.” So wouldn’t that mean that those people need to be good enough to shoot at him in the first place?

Just like IL said earlier, people want to shoot at the coach and players, then throw a hissy fit when they respond.
