You really think anyone will 'like' Dakari or Willie if UK is underachieving and those players are underachieving? Daniel Orton said...he'll naw they won't like them.

 

Disagree.

 

Once you're liked at UK you don't get "unliked."

 

Some have challenges getting liked though.

Good decision by these two. It's beneficial to them & to the school. Everyone wins.

 

This team will have pressure, but I think 2012 & 1996 both had more. And 1978 probably had more than any of them.

 

How old are you? Did you read about it?

Yeah they may hate on some of the players but the ones the fans really like now because they've got to see them and their personalities away from the court I don't see them hating.

 

Anybody hating on Wall or Cousins after that hack job they did against WVU, how about Chuck Hayes his team went into the tourney #1 overall seed and didn't make a Final Four...NOBODY hates Chuck.

 

NAZR missed 5000 free throws in regulation in a championship game decided in OT, nobody hates him either.

 

I think your taking to narrow a view on UK Fans as a whole, there will be some haters but unless a kid's just not trying and being selfish I don't see the majority of fans hating on them.

 

Naw, UK fans are the reason I don't root for UK basketball but do root for everything else at UK. A school I attended. My view is fine.

Agreed.

Says Rex Chapman.

 

Richie Farmer too, but those are both off the court incidents.

 

I don't think liked players get unliked because of on the court performance.

JD's argument is that Dakari and Willie are liked so much they can underachieve and people will still like them. They're borderline likable now since Willie only plays hard once every 10 games and Dakari can't play defense. No way they get a pass if they don't improve and UK underachieves.

Says Richie Farmer.

 

I'd say very few UK fans "hate" Richie Farmer. Why would they?

 

Probably mad at him. Probably call him a crook. I doubt it rises to the level of "hate."

Says Rex Chapman.

 

People don't hate Rex. There are some sensitive fans that are mad at him. No one hates him.

I think Dakari is liked by most. Willie, not so much.

IMO you're off base on "borderline." Willie and Dakari both seem like good kids.

 

I guess I don't understand your definition of "hate."

 

Is getting criticized for your play "hate?"

Never know with BBN.

I think Dakari is liked by most. Willie, not so much.

 

Disagree. I think everyone likes Willie. Sure, his offensive game could use a lot of work but why wouldn't people like him?

Richie Farmer too, but those are both off the court incidents.

UK fans have more dislike for Coaches(Tubby,Sutton,Gillespie) than any player that has played there in their history
