We never were. My point is we need to at least be a factor in basketball. It stems from seeing fans buy into this thing like we can be Indiana in football..it's not happening.When were we ever a factor in Football ? lol
Stein needs all the criticism anyone wants to give him for today’s mess coupled with his brash beginning but we are a long way from worrying about him.
This year is circled for Pope. Why keep taking about it? Some want to blame Pope for today, lol. Crazy
But once you get passed thinking every fan has to celebrate losing....and you look at the facts and results......something needs to be done.
The only thing I am sort of aggravated with Stein and UK about is selling this team like it is better than last year when, clearly, it is NOT. It might actually be worse.
Duh. What did you expect? I told you Stoops left an 0-12 roster. Stein has done his best given the situation.
I think it is more than that. It is a money issue that UK does not want to admit.
Not arguing that. Just saying coaches shouldn't tell fans that they have a Cadillac when they have a pinto.
It is a coach's job to generate excitement for the program and inspire confidence in his team. To act like he should come into the season whining and presenting an attitude of we suck and there really is no point is ridiculous.
People may be upset that Stein had the confidence and didn’t get the win, but for three quarters he looked every bit worthy of talking the way he did. I still believe we got gassed, lack depth and so on, but was very impressed by much of that game despite the score.
I am not saying they have to come out and say that they suck. They do need to be a little more realistic or they cause more anger in the fansbase when they dont meet unrealistic expectations.
Yea that second half meltdown was bad. Kind of like the team lost trust in Stein after the fake punt
Well living in the present is as dramatic as you just made it out to be. I said sorry for the bitchy thread lol. I just want to be good at basketball. I don't really get mad at football when they lose. But I do want them to win. Basketball needs to get back. We are due a bounce back soon.
I've never had an issue with you as far as I remember but I don't get the WWE comment. You do know it's fake? It's just entertainment and if you enjoy it that's fine by me but I can't see any reason for any legitimate debate about it's history beyond the way one discusses a TV show.
Zero issue with you and almost everyone here. Sorry for any confusion. I’ve known wrestling was fake since I was 9 years old and started watching it.
I do not know if it's true, but I heard years ago that Bear's wife really loved Lexington and did not want to leave.
Stoops left a better roster than Joker left Stoops by far.
Not talking about just UK, but in this new NIL$$$ era, is it reasonable to expect teams to regularly compete against teams with more financial resources, let alone tradition ???
I‘ve felt pretty much the same since NIL came into being. I read people saying UK has the money, but to me we’re easily being outspent by the richest programs with either huge alumni bases or a super rich donor like a Cuban or a Knight. We may get lucky - and no reason yet to think Stein won’t be a unicorn - but without a socialist system like NFL imposed by the Feds I don’t see a high level of success being sustainable. I’ll stay a UK fan regardless.
I am with you 1000% ^^^ and cannot see it any other way. The $$$ has unleveled the playing field even more in football, I think.

Ok, but they both inherited crappy rosters. I’m not sure I see the point of the comparison.
