April 3, 200917 yr Louisville is scared. The first step to recovery is admitting the truth. First, Rich Brooks put our football program ahead of theirs and now Calipari will do the same with the hoops. Welcome back "Little Brother". It's good to see you back where you belong. :lol:
April 3, 200917 yr First, Rich Brooks put our football program ahead of theirs and now Calipari will do the same with the hoops. Welcome back "Little Brother". It's good to see you back where you belong.Until UK goes to a BCS bowl I don't think you can claim UK football was put ahead of UofL football. UofL simply declined, making UK ahead. Pitino owns Cal, we know it, and your gonna learn it.
April 3, 200917 yr As to Rich Brooks putting UK above UL...I absolutely think he's the right coach @ UK, and defended him mightily when all the UK fans were calling for his head. That said, if anyone wants to be honest, Petrino leaving didn't hurt the Football Cats' situation.
April 3, 200917 yr There is no way UL fans are scared BUT... Coach Cal will be a force ro reckon with. Tubby or even a Gillispie is no contest for Rick Pitino but Cal is a heavy hitter just like Rick. Not many people can recruit better or even just as good as RP... Coach Cal is right there with him if not a better recruiter, this is why UK fans are energized. UK fans have endured a lack of talent for years.

Pitino owns Cal, we know it, and your gonna learn it. Pitino owns Cal when he's at Umass, or Memphis. Cal and Kentucky is a completely different story. And your gonna learn that.
April 3, 200917 yr Pretty sure that's aimed at me, so I'll address it. I guess I and other people who are not UK fans should just bow down to your will and be loyal subjects? UK fans are somehow above reproach? Come on … Hate? Negative. Taunt? Not even close. Disagree? You betcha. You and others just perceive it as "hate" and "taunting" because it doesn't jive with your worldview. If there wasn't so much outlandish crap coming out of the mouths of the 18-percenters (conservative estimate), we wouldn't have to call them out and bring them back to reality. Just have some class every now and then. Let it lay sometimes. Chill etc....
April 3, 200917 yr Maybe you should look up "taunt" in the dictionary. Because I did, and this is what I got. taunt: to reproach in a sarcastic, insulting, or jeering manner; mock. Sounds perfect. I think "calling them out" is a waste of your time and simply gives them more reasons to go on doing the same things. It's that simple. You are helping the monster grow and perform at a faster rate. And I'm not worried about your in game comments. I very rarely visit those threads anyways. I know what I've seen recently, and it's exactly what I said it was. I never meant to say you were taunting all UK fans, because obviously all UK fans aren't in the "18%". I'm not even sure why I'm arguing about this. I don't really care either way. I guess I'm with 5w. :dancingpa I hear ya.
April 3, 200917 yr Actually I think a lot of teams should be scared once Cal gets the ball rolling here. But I think UL with Ricky P will be one of the few programs that will be able to hang with the cats.
April 3, 200917 yr They may not change their views, but I'll still call them out for the looney stuff. They can feel free to come up with any "unrealistic beliefs" they want to. They're the ones who look silly because of it, because it certainly does a poor job of countering a valid point. And really, though, isn't it more fun when the fire is hot? You need to look up the definition of "taunting" in the dictionary. It just feels like taunting because Wildcat fans seem to take every comment not supporting UK as a personal insult, as though it were on par with smacking around their mommas. If I were interested in taunting UK fans, I would have been filling up UK loss threads over the past few years with witty comments like "UK sucks," and stuff like that, as well as running down UK in UofL game threads and lording it over them during the last few wilderness years for UK hoops. I think you'll find that pretty much all my comments in game threads trend toward straight analysis, if you're willing to do the research. Mirror ?

April 3, 200917 yr Author Just have some class every now and then. Let it lay sometimes. Chill etc.... Sooo ... let me see if I have this straight: UK fans have paper-thin skin when it comes to anything critical of their team, and I have no class because of it? Got it. :lol: Mirror ? Not sure what this has to do with my post that you quoted.
April 3, 200917 yr 1) Yes, and they make me cringe 2) Yes, and yes. Thank you so much for being honest...that is how most of the UK fans I know feel too. Some on here have this holier than thou attitude that UK fans are the only fans that act that way. I lived it Louisville and have a lot of great UofL friends that are die hard UofL fans. I listened to the call in shows for Lville. It goes both ways!

I listened to the call in shows for Lville. It goes both ways! Sure there are nutjobs in the L'ville fanbase. But let's be honest, the size of the UK fanbase dwarfs the L'ville fanbase, making it pretty easy to go days at a time without running into any of them. It's impossible to hide from the 18-percenters, however, especially outside of the L'ville.

It's impossible to hide from the 18-percenters, however, especially outside of the L'ville. I can agree with that however the bottom line is both schools have nut job fans that rub other teams fans the wrong way. They both have some of the best fans out there. UK has more fans so it feels like they are more radical. Just as you get tired of the abrasive fans... I get tired of the stereotypes.
