February 22, 200719 yr Well never in my right mind would have had expected to read this in the paper today. http://www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky/sports/16754286.htm In perhaps the season's biggest upset, the fickle followers of Kentucky basketball got credit for steadfast loyalty in times of trouble. After UK beat Louisiana State on Tuesday night to snap a three-game losing streak, guard Ramel Bradley thanked the fans for their continuing support while also acknowledging how he and the team had tested their patience. "Everybody has their, you know, turning point," he said. "That point when they say, 'OK, I'm tired of it now.' " As Rodney Dangerfield would say: Tough crowd. "Diehard Blue fans, that's what I'm so grateful about," Bradley said. "Even when we were struggling, I'd go out and people would say, 'Keep your head up. It's going to be all right.' "As players, you need that." "We all hear it," Crawford said. "We try not to engage in those conversations because we know you can't put it on one person. We have to come together and not worry about things like that. It's the players who make the plays. We can't rely on coaches to make shots." "Sometimes it's kind of tough when you hear the negativity that's in the media," Bradley said after the LSU game. "You kind of feel like everybody feels like that. But from my personal opinion, I see the fans we come in contact with. They show me nothing but support. And it's good to know that. At least our fans are behind us."
February 22, 200719 yr Good stuff to read. :thumb: I'm not giving up on the CATS or THIS team. I have decided to look at it as THIS team and not UK. If THIS team can pull out *a 20+ win season with NO senior or sophomore class (half a team) *6 freshman (no NCAA experience) *Overcome Tubby's recruiting blunders *An influx of talent and coaching in the SEC. *A tough schedule from start to finish I will be proud....for THIS team. I'd like to see the Sweet 16. That would be a GREAT, GREAT accomplishment for THIS team.
February 22, 200719 yr I thought Rupp was on the verge of booing at the beginning of the LSU game. That would be hard to hear IMO. Honestly I don't ever want that to happen.

I did hear a few boos start to trickle down when LSU jumped out 28-12. Had UK not closed out the half strong, I'd bet just about anything the place would've been in full revolt.
February 23, 200719 yr There is no way I will ever give up on the Cats or THIS years version. This team is loaded with some very good freshmen and jmo but I think that the recruiting is looking good for the future.

If we traded freshman the complainers and record wouldn't be near as bad. Loaded is an overstatement.
February 23, 200719 yr UK does have two seniors this year. If I am wrong someone please correct me. I thought they had 3 seniors.
