October 17, 200916 yr http://www.kentucky.com/818/story/980614.html I know Tipton has to work the crowd (like a heel in pro wrestling), but his attempts to suck the life out of UK sports never cease to amaze me. I find it disappointing that he works for the Lexington Herald-Leader and then attacks the hometown team.
October 17, 200916 yr He is a cranky, crabbly old man. Never suprised or amazed at his columns any more.
October 17, 200916 yr Are you upset that he pointed out a few negatives or are you upset because he's right?
October 17, 200916 yr Author Are you upset that he pointed out a few negatives or are you upset because he's right? I'm upset that he owns a blog titled "ukbasketball.bloginky.com" and then finds a way to trash his so-called "own" team. I'll take my man John Clay 1,000 times over Jerry T.
October 17, 200916 yr What is unfactual about what he wrote? Pointing out negatives is not trashing. Calling UKs fans ridiculously overconfident and saying the team will not make it past the Sweet 16 because they are idiots would be considered trashing.
October 17, 200916 yr Author What is unfactual about what he wrote? I never said anything he wrote was unfactual.
October 17, 200916 yr Author Sometimes the facts can hurt. Unless people just keep their heads in the sand The only thing his facts are hurting is his reputation.
October 17, 200916 yr That was an opinion column..not facts. Just like the one on KSR and the three I read on ESPN and Foxsports. They are all opinions. Just seems funny to me his is the only one that is all negative. I hate "homers" and .... whatever you call him...critical just to be critical I guess.
October 17, 200916 yr Author If an article like that gets your blood pumping, you're in for a long season It doesn't get my blood pumping. I am just pointing out that Tipton is always the Debbie Downer when it comes to UK basketball. He goes out of his way to be a heel.
October 17, 200916 yr Why does a Lexington columnist have to be a "homer'? I recall a few of his early columns were critical of Gillispie and of course, the herd was quick to call him out on those also. It's funny how the Louisville media is criticized for "protecting" their coaches and the Lexington media is criticized for criticizing their coaches.
October 17, 200916 yr That was an opinion column..not facts. Just like the one on KSR and the three I read on ESPN and Foxsports. They are all opinions.What were Tipton's "opinions" in that piece?
October 17, 200916 yr Are you upset that he pointed out a few negatives or are you upset because he's right? I don't mind his negatives but he could try to balance them out with a few positives occasionally. It makes him look like he's on a witch hunt against UK.
