if we could at least beat Florida next year. I was 3 last time that happened. Sick of it
I'd be fine if the danged basketball team doesn't win a game this year..

- Start date
100% with you. Basketball is nice and all but who frickin cares. Football is what moves the needle and a portion of our fan base needs a swift kick in the *** to wake up to that fact.
Idk about all that..I'd be waaaaay more pissed if the "dang" basketball team didn't win one single game. No doubt about it
Don't worry. Cal will have back spasms and Sam Malone will coach for the year. So it won't 'count' :flushed:
I'd trade a 2nd place finish for the rifle team.
Pitting basketball against football is a loser mentality and not what we need. You don't see Tom Jurich doing that.
I wouldn't be fine with it, but at least Mitch 'Mediocrity' Barnhart would be gone, so it wouldn't be a total waste.
Baby steps. What would you do for a win AT Southern Miss next year? LOL
The misguided bitterness [laughing]
One doesn't have to do with the other and it's time we quit blaming basketball on a bad football team. We have the facilities, support, everything but the coach.You can't trade success in one sport for another. That's like saying you would trade losing your job to have a bigger house. I want success in both sports.
My sophomores understand false dichotomies. Why don't you?
Let's not get carried away here...this is UK football after all...no one gives a deal about it really...
Well, you're a damned idiot.
It's not an either or issue. Over your head I know.
I'm fully aware that one isn't necessary for the other. I'd prefer that we go undefeated in every sport. Just like John Short predicted this year. Also I'm drunk
Actually, you're the damned idiot. Considering the OP was positing exactly that, an either or scenario, responding in kind was entirely appropriate. I'm also perfectly entitled to feel that I would prefer football wins to basketball wins. Back up and punt buttercup, you've stumbled onto the wrong board.
No one is blaming the basketball team; the OP has simply put forth the proposition of trading one for the other. That is it. Can the false rhetoric. It's a simple matter of which would you prefer. Nothing more. Dear Lord.
I wasn't alive until 1987 and I would rather shut the stupid football program down if UK could win just one more national championship.
Basketball is the only positive press our school gets in the sports world and you "football only" idiots wish I'll will on them lol?
The jealousy and envy shows on this board with many. I want all programs to succeed at UK and wish no harm in any.

Fair enough. I fully support your right to feel this way
I think both you 80's babies need to rethink this.
God I feel old here nowadays...
I'm far from "football only". I just want a good football team. I also want a good basketball team, and womens basketball team, and baseball team, and gymnastics team, and swim team.
Just sick of it. And again I'm drunk and relatively incoherent
I want to win in every sport at UK. Hell it's my Alma mater, but to be honest I only care about basketball and football, then rear view baseball and hell woman's Hoops.
But it's basketball first and football. Well football has let me down my entire life except for a few seasons and games. I don't understand how Louisville and other non power houses can be good/great/decent at both.
Florida and Louisville have had success in BOTH sports, why can't UK?
Because they are fully committed to winning at both.
Born in 83 here, want all Kentucky programs to be winners, sick of the **** football, and am about to open beer #13 on the day. Cheers
I'm on shot #11 of Maker's Mark but I cheated, had some pizza and bar food during the course.
Hell, easier way to avoid a hangover is to keep drinking. NFL starts tomorrow. Easy to keep it going.
Is this your first time posting sober?
I keep waiting for you to reply to your own posts...
