April 26, 201412 yr 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.[/QUOTe UK fans have more dislike for Coaches(Tubby,Sutton,Gillespie) than any player that has played there in their history UK fans gave Tubby a rousing ovation at a football game last season & they'll do it again when his jersey is lifted to the rafters. Gillispie no doubt (and deservedly so). Sutton too, although I actually think people hate BCG more than Eddie. Pitino is actually hated maybe more than all of them.
April 26, 201412 yr People don't hate Rex. There are some sensitive fans that are mad at him. No one hates him. True. They just unfollow him.
April 26, 201412 yr Inconsistency. So you're talking about not liking his game. Heck, I can find something I don't like about every kid's game.
April 26, 201412 yr I think the animosity toward Rex is really strong now. I suspect it will die down over time, but I would consider him hated by a lot of fans right now.
April 26, 201412 yr 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?" As soon as anyone from the national media, UL, Duke, etc 'criticizes' UK we get the meme of Calipari skipping with the caption 'Haters gonna hate'. The UK fan complex with the national media is exhibit A for criticism. Just saying.
April 26, 201412 yr So you're talking about not liking his game. Heck, I can find something I don't like about every kid's game. Exactly. There are plenty of Duke fans who hate Kyrie, Austin and Jabari for only staying one year. Irrational but real. Same principle applies in this situation just in a 'what have you done for me today' type of way.
April 26, 201412 yr As soon as anyone from the national media, UL, Duke, etc 'criticizes' UK we get the meme of Calipari skipping with the caption 'Haters gonna hate'. The UK fan complex with the national media is exhibit A for criticism. Just saying. No question we're the worst fan base when it comes to being sensitive and defensive. But what does that have to do with "hating" a UK player?
April 26, 201412 yr So you're talking about not liking his game. Heck, I can find something I don't like about every kid's game. There were some strong feelings against him during the season. He made up some ground by getting hurt & by coming back.

Sutton too, although I actually think people hate BCG more than Eddie. Pitino is actually hated maybe more than all of them. Pitino should be IMO. I would hate K for going to UNC. Hell, I'd hate WoJo for going to UNC.
April 26, 201412 yr Clizzy, do you think the Harrisons were hated this year? Or would you call it criticized?
April 26, 201412 yr Clizzy, do you think the Harrisons were hated this year? Or would you call it criticized? As I said previously it takes some kids longer to get into the "liked" category. UK fans were unfair to the twins in their vitriol. I just refuse to believe any player is hated.
April 26, 201412 yr Pitino should be IMO. I would hate K for going to UNC. Hell, I'd hate WoJo for going to UNC. I didn't care for Rick while he was at UK, even though he was the man for the job & what he did was remarkable. But I don't like him for going to UL & I also don't like him for being a sniveling little weasel.
