March 31, 200719 yr Basically he said KY fans were stupid, nobody can please them, Tubby deserves better, blah blah blah. So now we are so childish and self involved that we boycott the media personalities for just telling the truth?
March 31, 200719 yr Dick, Digger, Jay and Reece were just discussing the situation on Game Day. It seems Dick is not going to make any friends in Kentucky. Vital was the only one that saw no chance of Donovan going to UK. Reece Davis brought up a point I have been making all week. If you want to be the best you don't back down from expectations. You want to go up against the best and prove you are the man. UK is the place for Donovan to do just that and step out from under Pitino's shadow.
March 31, 200719 yr So now we are so childish and self involved that we boycott the media personalities for just telling the truth? Actually that was his opinion. And Dickie V doesn't have a great track record of late for "telling the truth."

I really have no problem with what Dick is saying because its pretty much true. The only people who might be upset about what Dick is saying, is the TBers...
March 31, 200719 yr I really have no problem with what Dick is saying because its pretty much true. The only people who might be upset about what Dick is saying, is the TBers... What about Jim Rome and Colin Coherd who said that Tubby wasn't getting it done at Ky. They said KY had the right to have high expectations and Tubby wasn't doing a good enough job there. Who's to say they're not telling the truth?
March 31, 200719 yr What about Jim Rome and Colin Coherd who said that Tubby wasn't getting it done at Ky. They said KY had the right to have high expectations and Tubby wasn't doing a good enough job there. Who's to say they're not telling the truth? Lets see the people who wanted Tubby gone would say he is a terrible coach and should be at a mid-major. And its those same people who were probably putting for sale signs in Tubby's yard, etc. So yeah Dick is right in saying we have some stupid fans, and its true. As I said we have the best and the worst fans in the country. And yeah Rome and Coherd is right, Tubby with expectations of final fours, wasn't getting it done. However what Dick talks about with calling people stupid, is the way some of my fellow UK fans treated him, and what he was saying about that is true...

However what Dick talks about with calling people stupid, is the way some of my fellow UK fans treated him, and what he was saying about that is true... Well I had higher expectations for the University of Kentucky than what Tubby was getting done there. At the beginning of the season, I really thought this team would be one of his best at KY. Does that make me stupid? Maybe. But I certainly don't need a clown like Dick Vitale who's only insight to the game includes "It's awesome baby" and loud obnoxious rants telling me that. That's like a blind man making fun of another blind man for not being able to see. Dickie V, in my opinion, always has been an idiot and always will be.

Thats fine your entitled to your opinion in not like a guy..However when it comes down to what he said, he is right. Yeah not every UK fan is like that, and Im sure he knows that, but the people who he were talking about were the fans who were idiotic enough to put for sale signs in the coaches yard, to offer to buy a one page ad in a paper, etc. There is no reason to treat a coach like that who has averaged 26 wins a year, got us to the #1 seed 2 times, and numerous SEC titles. What they did was stupid, and he is right. So once again it is just because we have the best and the worst/dumb fans in the world. I am not saying you are one of those fans or not, but the fact is what he said is true...

But isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? Vitale is a certified moron.

Vitale is just as irrational to lump all UK fans into one catagory and go over the top like he usually does. I have supported Tubby and still do. Alot of the criticism and some of the things done to him were just wrong. But to condemn the whole, based upon the actions of some, is just as wrong. Dick needs to get a grip and get off of the soap box.
