I agree right here with these 2!
Bad Takes You Have Had
- Thread starter mcnicKY91
- Start date
Shaedon Sharpe would dominate college ball because he was able to start practicing a year early.
Excited when it was announced
Rajon Rondo won’t do much in the pros. Doesn’t shoot well enough.
I seriously overestimated the upside in Dontae Allen’s game.
I was very young (8th grade), so forgive me, but I thought there was no way that Wes Unseld wasn't coming to Kentucky.
I was really disappointed by it. Can you imagine what the program would've been like had he paved the way for others ??
Also, like others here, I thought Eddie Sutton would kill it here and was very excited to hear him say he would "crawl to Lexington for the Kentucky job."
GO CATS !!

That slim Arvydas Sabonis was going to make people forget about Kareem.

I didn't think Lamont Butler or Otega Oweh would or could start at Kentucky this season.
I remember when Dakotah Euton announced for UK....I called my dad and we were talking about how BCG was going to win big by signing guys like Euton
Billy Clyde and Eddie Sutton are the reasons I was iffy about Pope succeeding.
He's looking very promising so far. Everyone can't coach at UK.
Same with UK FB. Stoops has struggled a couple of seasons, but there is a long list of horrible coaches at UK FB.

I thought we would go 40-0 in 2015.
Difference between horseshoes and hand grenades.
I wanted Quincy Miller over Anthony Davis. I came around before the season started, but I just couldn’t wrap my head around AD’s meteoric rise.
Worst take. Georgetown game in NCAA tourney. I was in a house with about 50/50 UK to GTOWN fans. Was loving the first half. I stayed, I ate crow, that was not on here but that is my worst take on UK Basketball. 2nd would be 1975 Championship game. Halftime- thought we would run away with it. Did not realize the wizard told his team at half he was retiring. Wow.
Being excited about KC Miller and Dakota Euton…
Awesome fossils in the pic! Found some really good ones at Tybee last year!!
My mom bought me a Microsoft Zune for Christmas and she said the same thing about the Ipod being a flop.
Giving my ticket up so my brother Bob could go to the NCAA tournament game against MTSU, thinking if get to see UK vs Louisville. Which WOULD HAVE BEEN ...
yeah...
Woulda couldsa shoulda.

Shaedon Sharp (sp?). Who cares how it’s spelled
Not sure what to say, but just wow.
What a **** show that was.

The Zune was the superior product though. I loved my white first generation Zune and wish I still had it.
GJ Villarino
KC Ross Miller
Vinny Zollo
Conner Tucker
Hunter McClintock
I was excited for these guys as well. What the heck were we drinking back then?
Fun fact. It was the lawsuit after that put Emory out of business I believe. The courts didn’t believe there was any evidence to believe it ever happened. , but the NCAA did.
Demarcus Cousins was overrated was my worst one by far.
I also thought Justin Edwards was going to be a star. In college and pro.

iPhones would never supplant the Blackberry
Text Messaging would nver be popular
Mark Pope was a terrible hire.

I blame it on the Lexington Herald. I was working out of town with no access to TV or the internet. But the Herald had a tremendous section about him. Had me hook, line, & sinker. Can't believe anything you read.
That my first marriage would last. That my second marriage was a good idea.
In 1999 I said cell phones were worthless and they’d never catch on…

I recall purchasing and actually wearing a “Billy Clyde is here and the Bluegrass State is ready to rock!” shirt (or some ridiculous quote like that).
I still get waves of embarrassment 17 years later.

I thought Cal would win at least 2, and probably 3 titles here. He was the best coach in college basketball for at least 11 or 12 years. Just look at the end of his Memphis run, and his first 6 years at Kentucky. 3 title games, 5 final-4's, elite-8's like they were candy. Dude got old, became a victim of low T, and didn't adapt to the game when it modernized.
