Anyone Who Thought The Tennessee Fan Base...

With Patterson and Meeks back next year, along with the incoming class and maturation of Miller (and hopefully liggins, although I'm not holding my breath), I really do hope they give him another year.

However, to speak of Kentucky fans....(not ALL fans, mind you) they are all stark raving mad, and unfortunately most are not educated on how to:

1) View basketball.
2) Understand basketball.
3) diagnose and understand schemes in basketball.
4) so on and so forth.


All they know is, "by God we are Kentucky and we should kill everybody."
They have no inkling as to what it means to rebuild, re-establish recruiting and build from the ground up. HOWEVER, they will fight you tooth and nail until their dying breath for their basketball program, and there is no greater love in Kentucky. So to compare it to a Civil War, is about the best analogy I can think of.

But it looks like BCG is backed in a corner, ready to wave the white flag. We shall see I guess.

Whoa, y'all gave the smartest fans in the game and have a monopoly on them if I understand correctly. Why this self deprecating blasphemy?

I'm not narcissistic, nor am I delusional. I only speak the truth my friend. Not that I am letting UT fans off the hook... lol

There are very smart and intelligent basketball fans in Kentucky. But I think Kentucky fans fall more under the "passionate" label, than the "smart" label.

Case in point, smart fans do not boo their starting point guard, or cheer when he goes out of the game. Or yell "SHOOT!!!" and groan when he passes up a shot. Thats not smart. But it IS passionate, if this makes any sense.

Any other Kentucky fan who cannot come to terms with this... well... is part of the above mentioned fan base. :good!:

I post on another site with a lot of UK fans. The majority are saying it's a done deal, that Clyde is gone. The big rumor is Billy D is coming. They supposedly went to Pitino with a blank check, but he turned them down.

There are all sorts of rumors also about issues between Clyde and the players. Something happened after the LSU game. There are also rumors about run-ins with the law. They are going to let Clyde go for the moral clause in his MOU. They will pay him significantly less than the $6 million buyout, and keep it under the rug.

Some of the players siad they won't be back next year if Clyde returns.

Clyde is the next HC at TX Tech.

On and on...

They say it will happen quickly after UK's next loss, so it could be a very interesting week in KY. Just passing along the rumors. Until you talk to a lot of UK fans, you have no idea how delusional the majority of them are. There was a statement made that the UK basketball coach was one of the top three jobs in all of sport.

Grow up, BPV. There are some reasonable fans over here looking for intelligent conversation. Me? I'm not sticking my head in any UK BB forum right now.

Top three in college basketball maybe.

UK fans can't overlook these schools.....

1. UNC
2. Duke
3. Kansas

UK would probably be in the top 5. Definitely top 10.

Donovan to UK was the last thing I wanted to see two years ago. At this point, would it really be so bad for UT if UK were to replace a coach who's beating Bruce like a drum with a coach that Bruce owns?

Even if the next loss isn't until the '09/'10 season opener against Tennessee Tech?

Mitch Barhart posts here? I've never claimed to have any control over Kentucky's propensity for mistakes. In five years, as I've said many times, Billy Clyde will be winning big at a BCS school, while Bruce Pearl will have proven to be the Jerry Glanville of College Basketball. Also, anyone mentally deficient enough to have defended Clemson should be careful about calling anyone else out.

Not near as foolish as someone dumb enough to think a first time NCAA offender will be punished in the same manner as a school who hired a multiple violator and then had said employee lie to investigators multiple times.

I wasn't calling you out, but thanks for defending yourself anyway. Also, I have no idea how I became the token Clemson defender on this site. I don't give two sh*** about Clemson or Wake or FSU or any other random team you seem to think I've defended.

Well, when he's not trying to pass off Davidson off as more than they are, TennNC certainly fits the bill. Dylan Stevens certainly is a candidate for membership in that club.

hat, can I ask you a serious question?

Fate has it that the UT job is open 2 years ago and Kentucky is not. Any possible way BCG leaves A&M for UT?
