I blame it on simple-mindedness...(Not his reason)
I agree, it's gotten pretty old. The team was not in a good spot and had some cause for concern. There have always been posters on this forum that overreact after every loss, so I don't know why everyone on the other side have been feistier than normal this year. They are honestly looking as bad as some people do after a loss.
Just want to go on record as being fine with any of my past posts being bumped if they deserve to be.
Don't post idiotic **** and you don't have to worry about it. Don't act like a child throwing a tantrum toward your team, its coach or its players and you don't have to worry about it.
I do notice a lot of overlap in the realists who were positive Diallo was using Kentucky for the draft and that that was the plan all along and the people who acted ridiculously toward this team.
Those people didn't like their threads being bumped back then either. Maybe the problem is your posting and not the bumping.

And this is the windmill you’ve chosen to battle, Mr Quixote? Those who come after us will tell the tales of the differences you made for ages
********. Not even close. Not a single thing posted here made a remote bit of difference. It's isolated whining.
No one here was less upset or cared less just because they had the emotional maturity and rationality not to act like a moron on the internet.
Not here, in general, the environment they create around the program.
There is a distinctive difference in Yankee fans and Pirate fans, and their organizations reflect it.
You said you didn’t like Diallo and never would no matter what he did. Isn’t that the definition of personal attack? Had nothing to do with basketball.
As a side, I said some things that about Diallo that I stand by. I think Diallo would have left and never played a minute had he the option, but he didn't want to go to the D league or overseas. I didn't like the optics of how it happened but that's todays game.
As it stands, Diallo has quickly become one of my favorite players on this team in a matter of a few games. I hope he wants to stay, but I have my doubts.
Cal is not a traditional guy, and he brought fast change to the dynamics of the sport in a very short period of time. Humans are not designed to digest incredible change quickly. It's tough for some to see guys come in with UK second on their mind, and I get it.
I've accepted it because cal wins, and I want to win. Doesn't mean I have to like the system and the apathy toward college that has been a by product of it.
The people here acting like fools have never contributed anything to the program in a meaningful way.
Calling in to radio shows and posting nonsense on Cal's Facebook doesn't accomplish anything, but we have thousands of fans who think they're helping.
Thankfully, those aren't people who are making decisions. If they were, we'd have already run through Ford and Pelphrey and Woods as coaches and be lining up to hire McCarty and Epps this year.
I’m fine with posts being bumped. If I’m wrong about something I can laugh it off.
Must say that there’s a big difference between bumping negative posts when things are going well, and bumping positive posts when things are going poorly.
This is a UK message board, after all. It is supposed to be pro-UK, even in the worst of times. Bumping positive posts after we lose just to rub salt in the wounds would be trolling.

Oooo the blame the parents or someone else game. hate to call it typical but....darn Morblamesky, I thought better of you. It's not the land, it's the man.
I’m sure that other poster stands by his dislike for Diallo too. Maybe I’m old school, but I don’t think that kind of personal disparaging of one of our players is appropriate.
I mean, if you don’t like somebody you don’t like them. Free country. Just shouldn’t be saying that about a UK player on a UK message board.
Don’t like his jumper, or his hustle, or passing ability? Have at it.
Good Post! I was about 6 or so and met Robin at a gas station doing promo's he was in costume. I will never forget that. I was scared down in the back seat floor board and he reached down, patted me on the head and shook my hand.
lol, it's funny though - when they call him, or message him. And he likes it, Cal loves that people really care to the point of acting like children. He uses it all the time, that's part of why he wants to be here. Some of our fans think it reflects poorly on them, which is why they become so upset when it happens. It doesn't though, it's in every fan base. At Memphis Cal called the fans you are speaking about "the miserables". He would name them over and over again. Knowing full well he's talking to the die hards and he wants them to bark louder.
The media has done a fantastic job of creating a mythical fanbase full of crazy nuts, our own fans buy it all of the time. But Cal is fine with this crap, 5% of our fanbase that participates on message boards are the only people it really bothers. Regular fans who just watch, follow, and go to work and couldn't care less.
I don't think you can find one person who wants Ford or Pelphrey at UK. I don't think you'll find one who wanted it at any point. When Ford's name appeared as a candidate people went insane. I know Cal did his usual "they all want Kentucky boys" deflection routine yesterday, which makes the typical posters run wild, but it's not true. If they had a choice and we had 5 blue chips from Kentucky, sure. But I will say with certainty that you would not start a poll on those comments because you already know its a lie and hyperbole to the max.
And the more demanding the fanbase, the more they seem to stack up over time.
I guess.
If someone showed me a tweet saying "Morgousky sucks *** bench the F outa him and pull his scholarship" when I played I would have laughed, said F'm, and turned to continue batting practice.
Serious question, there are a lot of players who credit harsh doubters and haters as a reason for their success. How do we know that Diallo wasn't shown(or looked himself) at social media comments about himself and it lit a fire? I do believe that these kinds of responses can generate a fire in an athlete and nothing but positive outcomes result from them.
Maybe a stupid way of thinking but I'm that guy, so...
I think it’s more a question about what kind of forum you want to have than about what effect it has on the players.
It's a fan message board. Hypocrisy and deflection is pretty much the norm on all of them.
Everybody claims to be the victim.
Fans of other teams are always evil or inferior.
Duke/UNC etc will cry about the easy path we'll end up with to #9, just like we did when it happened for them.
And fans will always try to belittle other fellow fans so they can be "the big kid on the slide"
At some point in this loop, I'm pretty certain that I got pissed off . . . . or maybe I was offended.
Perhaps I was offended that I got pissed off . . . .
Is this the Tweet thread?
Agreed. Fans will even claim some aren't "Proper" fans, or "fan enough". :scream:
I do think that is because people tend to concern themselves with what they want above all else, the result being a continuous crapfest. Just an observation.
Dang it! I have a response but my own grumpy quirks won't allow me to post it here.
because most of us have some sense. The post you're replying to said that those idiots don't make any decisions or contribute anything.
That's the point I was making. If they did, they'd run off every coach in a year or two and we'd be down to awful choices like that.
I appreciate you conceding the point that "fans who care more" (read: loud idiots) contribute to the greatness of the program. [laughing]
Probably don't ever wear a bustle.....how lewd
unlike BBUK I wouldn't think of having a UK board get together without including you.......if you would dare to be seen with us.
