Every negative comment was justified the last two games. We came back, but could easily have pulled a Gonzaga again. We can’t keep getting down 18 on the road in conference and expect to win many games. That’s like starting a thread after a huge loss and brining up all the positive posts and saying these posters don’t know a damn thing.
This is BS ... another post later on says all Cat fans are saying the same thing watching the game while not posting. All fans are not saying Pope should be fired at halftime or a lot of other such nonsense. I'm likely the longest following Cat fan on this board (since 1953) and I've seen and heard it all. Having lived out of state most of the time since HS, I don't get to attend games at Rupp very often. I recall a time when I finally got to bring my oldest son to a game coming from Texas. There was a fan a few rows back from us talking to a buddy who he had brought to the game who obviously was new to UK basketball. He pointed out to the fan, "that's Saul Smith the son of the coach" then proceeded to curse Saul for about a full minute. It was extremely embarrassing.
There's similar BS posted in the game thread all the time and would probably be worse if cursing was permitted.
I understand the emotions that go up and down while watching and that's why I usually don't post during the game altho I'm usually reading along as the game progresses. (Also have never logged on to my phone since the move to ON3 as I don't remember my password and just haven't bothered to retrieve/change it)
The one thing you notice for sure is which fans continually bash Chandler for a very obvious ugly reason.
Do I get upset? For sure.. Am I screaming at the TV? No way but I do have negative thoughts same as others. But during the UT game at one point I was thinking, get MO out, he's hurting the team. And I also noticed OO was pressing, not letting the game come to him. Also keep wondering why Pope can't design a better in-bounds play under UK's own basket. The turnovers there would be totally avoidable with a better scheme. Examples: Noah threw away a pass under pressure on the receiver and another time Jelavic broke toward the passer before he had been given the ball completely and threw that play off. That throw in play should be totally scrapped. Every time I watch I cringe. None of these things or a myriad of other misplays call for the coach's firing or hoping players leave after the season or at mid-season or belong in D2. I think of undisciplined 2 year olds throwing tantrums when I see some of the posts
Not all negative posts fall into that category but neither are all other fans thinking/saying the same things
Quit projecting
