I don't feel sorry for you at all. I said I thought your motivation was sad, not the same as saying I feel sorry for you. Your motivations are your motivations, I gave you my thoughts on them, told you mine, and asked why you viewed your rooting interest as superior because you did not inherit them at all (a fact you implied), a question you did not answer.

 

Did I not touch it in post #114?

How does

 

I did not say my father was a huge UL fan when I was a kid. I said that my family had no thoughts one way or the other. By the time my dad died, well after I became a UL fan, he was a huge UL fan.

 

at all answer the question of why you think your rooting interests are superior because they are not inherited?

 

The fact you implied I was talking about was that.

It took a while before I found out how fightin' mad UK fans would get when prodded. It certainly makes things more fun.

I dont see anyone getting upset here besides you and the other UL fan.

I am sitting here laughing my tail off. I am not upset!

Not sure who or what you are laughing at but keep on I guess.

I'm speaking in general there, cowboy. Not this particular thread.

 

And if you think any of this foolishness gets me upset, well, I don't know what to tell you.

UK in 1952-53 and "near" death penalty again in 1986-88. Link

 

I haven't accused Cal of anything accept being shady. That has nothing to do with UK, I've thought it for years, I'm entitled to my own opinion right or wrong. But his antics of letting players beat woman, get arrested, all the entourages, and WWW are all shady to me. :idunno:

Most coaches are a little shady to a degree, or at least know of a few shady things going on around the program that they pretend not to know. That's just my opinion.

Heck, if the NCAA was as strict back in the '60s as they are by today's standards UCLA would probably be stripped of 5 or 6 championships.

Jim, we know it upsets you that Kentucky is better than Louisville... We know it upsets you that Kentucky has 7 national championships compared to Louisville's 2. We know it upsets you that Louisville will always be little brother to Kentucky. You don't have to hide it any longer. You can come clean.

I tried to look back and see were I said anything about my rooting interest being superior to anyone elses. I could not find it. So I really do not know how that part gort started. I really don't even remember what this thread was supposed to be about. But at some point I stated that I did not envy the past as I was not a part of it. Then from there it was implied that I could not be serious about that. Most UK fans that I know, when asked why they are UK fans say, my grandpa was, my dad is, and I am. That looks inhereted to me. I never said that that was wrong. For me I chose my team because of me. Whats wrong with that?

 

If I disagree with anything on here that is KY related folks come after it like shark bait. Why is it so wrong if I shoot back. I have never been one to turn the other cheek.

 

My outlook is sad, so? Because I choose to down play the trumpeting of Cal, feelings get hurt and they come after me. Because I listened to UK fans tell Card fans to give Kragthorpe a chance, then fight to get rid of BCG, I find that hypocritic. Why is it negative to point that out? Becasue people talk about "all of the stuff" going on behind the scenes, yet get upset if you ask for proof or news reports outlining these indescretions. Why? Is it so hard to believe that if everything that has been stated on here as fact, was fact, that the "sports journalists" would be all over it? They are not going to hide the indescretions of the UK coach for the sake of the program. Those days are gone. So I ask for proof, seems to upset some. Why?

 

I hated Tricky Rick when he was at UK, why? He was beating UL every year. I love having him here now.

 

I loved the winning ways of Bobby Petrino, and I hate the losing ways of Krags. But I still support Krag and do not want him gone until he proves to me that he cannot handle it even with his recruits. UK folks did not want to give Brooks a chance and he is now a god to most.

 

I have even said on here that I am ecited to have Cal at UK. With him, Tricky Rick at UL, and Crean at IU, it should bring the focus of college basketball back to the Bermuda Triangle of college basketball and get off Tobacco Road.

 

So whatever emotions some are wearing on their sleeves, cannot effect me negatively, life is to short.

 

Good Luck and God Bless!

Louisville has 2 national titles, 1980 and 1986.

I knew that... I don't know why I said 3. Thanks!

Again, I am not discounting UK's history, but the fact that I wasn't around for what was really their glory days, makes it impossible for me to "envy" their past, or in reality to be enamored by it either.

 

How dare you speak such blasphemy? I think you need to be waterboarded until you come to your senses.

 

Not many UK fans have nice things to say about Mumme these days, I think it's important to note.

 

I don't like Hal Mumme, but it isn't because of the probation.

 

I was at an event where he was supposed to be the guest speaker. This was right when everything was going down. Hal showed up late, walked in, gave a speech that lasted just long enough to let everyone know he didn't want to be there, and then left.

 

Haven't liked him since. Runs an exciting offense, though.
