You know one leads to the other.

When has Kentucky ever been a football first school?

So that's now the criteria because it blows his theory up?

Point being, what else are they going to show up for? What's to look forward to as it relates to major sport?

Who said they have to show up for anything? People stopped showing up at neyland didn't they?

 

[Ducreux]

Just because you give money to the university doesn't mean you have the right to root against the Vols. doesn't sound like a true fan to me.

Are you a 'true fan' for me please....if so please list your credentials to help us to recognize a 'true fan'...here, I'll help you get started..
you have a Tennessee shirt purchased from Walmart
you once thought about attending UT but that GED thing kicked your butt...
you once thought about going to a game but that 'gotta have a ticket' thing kicked your butt...
you talk...and talk...and talk a good game...

Perhaps Kentucky has more loyal fans, especially when it comes to basketball. Is that what you're driving at?

Pretty much

It's true. I wish Tennessee fans cared more about basketball but football will always be king at UT.

 

[utvolz98]

Pretty much

Couldn't it also be surmised that they really have nothing else to cheer for so why the hell not show up? If Rupp held 100,000, think it would be near full for an NIT game?

Probably yea.

They pack 20k for a glorified practice

Yep Arkansas picking up a huge quality with on the road at Rupp.

It's as simple as this Cuonzo has a much higher level of talent, for this season and we will not make the tournament because of his coaching style, and philosophy, and in game adjustments, OR lack there of. Same ole story.

You need to be band for saying the f word in the bball forum. That's all.

Too late

 

[Cpatter4]

You are wrong they are not Tenn. fans. They are only fans if they win.

I'm a fan, which is why I want a new coach.

NIT is an anomaly at KY, UT under Cuonzo more of the norm.

Love it when the fans get blamed. Mickey Dearstone tactic.

I guess top 10 attendance for 2 NIT teams wasn't good enough. The Tennessee fan base is the most passionate in the country when it comes to supporting their sports across the board IMO. They deserve better.

Who's blaming the fans for the basketball teams struggles? I must've missed that post.
