Kentucky Wildcats

[wannabe]

huge UK fan here, roots go way deep. Great to have the dynasty back on track. Will be attending their win against Georgia tomorrow night.

I bleed blue.

Kentucky Fan here!! C-A-T-S, CATS CATS CATS. Looking forward to this football season. Like to see how Joker does.

[Fozcycle]

Me too!.......Joker Phillips is going to be a terrific Head coach.

Im a fan...Kind of. I used to root against them becuase of my UC backround but the older I get, the more I like them (I am from NKY). I also have a father in law who is a big fan.

You cannot spell suck without UC. HA! That's my favorite line against UC. Look out for Lance Stephenson next year (if he comes back, I'm pretty sure he entered the draft).

I am a HUGE Kentucky fan, I went to multiple games last year as well as Big Blue Madness and the first ever open practice where people were allowed in with a certain wristband (I got my from D. Cousins :))

I'm probably the only person from Kentucky that can't stand UK. The Bandwagon fans make me sick. When Gillespie was coach, you never heard anyone say much, but then Pitino Jr rolls in and suddenly everyone has been a diehard UK fan their whole life.

It doesn't really matter, UK will be on NCAA probation in a few seasons, and Calipari will move on to cheat somewhere else....

You got that Right!

Go CATS!

Love the Cats and followed Cincinnati until Huggins left. Now the Bearcats are crap. They need a big name coach to get (eligible) recruits. But thats another thread. I hated to see multiple players leave to the draft. I think Cousins coulda used another year for sure and Wall, well, it wouldn't have hurt. NCAA needs to make it mandatory for kids to play at least 2 years IMO. I understand hardships and that money can help their families. But what about me? :p

Definitely NOT! It's not so much as the Kentucky Wildcats themselves as much as their ridiculous fans! I get SOOO tired of hearing about them at work, at the gym, at the golf course, at church and so on. Who really cares? Whether UK wins a championship or doesn't even make it to the tournament, my paychecks are the same and I sleep just the same, and so does every UK fan whether they like to admit it or not. I get tired of turning on my radio in the vehicle during ball season and every station has a UK coach's segment on and some redneck calls in "Hey, good job last week coach, how do you think we're going to match up against Vanderbilt's Defense?" or my favorite, "hey coach, sorry about the loss, it ruined my whole week." Your whole week...? GET A LIFE!

I know everybody needs to have pride in something, but I get so sick of Go Big Blue and "I gotta get home to watch the cats tonight." Most people in this state don't know the difference in Lexington and Louisville and definitely didn't attend UK(or college for that matter). Yuck, I was hoping I wasn't going to have to hear or read about this crap again until the fall!

Count me into this same group. You guys think it's bad where you live, try living in Lexington! I actually used to like UK growing up, but for the same reasons JaredSS outlined, my like quickly turned to dislike; on the verge of hatred. Of course all schools have their share of crazy fans, but for a UK loss to ruin your whole week or for you to constantly have to talk about the newest rumored recruit, how your first to 2000 wins, how ESPN and every other news outlet conspires against UK because they are jealous of the success UK has had or how John Wall is better than Evan Turner, it really is enough to drive someone insane.

THANK YOU!!!! As i was reading this I turned around and my co-worker's computer background has a picture of Brandon Knight putting on a UK hat. Good grief, you're 38 dude with a picture of high school kid(thats not y our child) on your background!! I could see being a proud UK fan if any of the kids were actually from Kentucky. I liked Kentucky when Patrick Sparks played back in 04 and 05 because I went to high school with him and felt like I had a vested interest, but now its just a bunch of thugs Calipari has recruited(and suspiciously at that).

But even when Sparks played I wasn't goofy about it, if they won great, if not, who cares! I've seen T-Shirts here where I live(Muhlenberg County) that say "Coal, Cats and Calipari-Kentucky Traditions." Seriously, I like Coal since I work at a coal-fired powerplant and many people in this state make their living because of coal, but how in the world is Calipari a Kentucky tradition? Okay, I'm now stepping off my soap box, but I'm glad I had some back-up on this issue!

Those thugs as you call them, made history tonight. 5 players from the same team all in the 1st round.

But only one was worth mentioning.......as a Kentucky Fan, Patrick Patterson was the only one who went more than one year....he went three and Graduated!...the rest were just using UK to get to the NBA.

I can't get excited over somebody that was only there less than a year!

Congrats! Now you've got something else to talk about for the next decade or so.

I wonder if their NBA signing bonus will be as big as the one they got from UK?

Way to go, now they're rich thugs with a bigger attitude.

Doubt it.
