April 26, 201412 yr 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? I feel like if WCS and Dakari underachieve and UK suffers at the same time they'll catch the blame like Westbrook does when OKC loses. Not saying it is fair or warranted but someone will have to be blamed and whichever players are underachieving will suffer. Everybody liked Joker until he sucked.
April 26, 201412 yr 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. Sean Sutton?

So hated is too strong of a word for you. I get that but IMO the twins were hated on until Aaron pulled his balls out.

April 26, 201412 yr 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. That's why I couldn't be a UK fan because I like everyone of those guys, it's Cal that have never been crazy about
April 26, 201412 yr Sean Sutton? Fuzzy on that one. He was way over-hyped coming into college. Saul Smith was unfairly criticized as well. Rabid fanbases are not always good. Usually. Not always. We see it too often in Lexington.
April 26, 201412 yr Everybody liked Joker until he sucked. I think people still like Joker. We just know he stinks as a head football coach.
April 26, 201412 yr Saul Smith? Rashad Whatshisface? Sean Sutton & Saul Smith are the two least popular UK players of my lifetime IMO. They're not my top 2, but I think they are the BBN's top 2.
April 26, 201412 yr Fuzzy on that one. He was way over-hyped coming into college. Saul Smith was unfairly criticized as well. Rabid fanbases are not always good. Usually. Not always. We see it too often in Lexington. What about Patrick Sparks? I remember him taking a lot of criticism
April 26, 201412 yr I think people still like Joker. We just know he stinks as a head football coach. That's my point overall. While I often criticize the UK fans for their inability to be rational in many instances I just do not think it gets to that personal level. Joker will always be liked and a part of the UK family. He just wasn't a head coach. I think 99% of the UK fans can get that.
April 26, 201412 yr I think people still like Joker. We just know he stinks as a head football coach. True. :lol2:
April 26, 201412 yr That's why I couldn't be a UK fan because I like everyone of those guys, it's Cal that have never been crazy about You would like them. :lol2: Tubby's great. I'll pass on the other three.
April 26, 201412 yr What about Patrick Sparks? I remember him taking a lot of criticism In my personal five-man All-Hated UK team, I've got a 3-guard offense: Travis Ford, Patrick Sparks, & Sean Sutton.
April 26, 201412 yr In my personal five-man All-Hated UK team, I've got a 3-guard offense: Travis Ford, Patrick Sparks, & Sean Sutton. So did you not like THEM or did you not like their game?
