We still beat them all.
I will laugh when we blow out our next opponent and there are a dozen threads on this team being better than '96.

We love to give teams nicknames, but I would lmao hearing the team give each year's fans nicknames.

EDIT: I intentionally left out U*NC. Only proud of beating institutions of learning.

That's the narrative on this board. If UK wins big then you see "' '96 vs '15" threads or "40-0". If UK wins by only a few then it's more like "The Harrisons are selfish" or "What has gone wrong with this team?". It's very predictable.

I am never shocked by the chicken littles .. that's part of every fan base.


I was, however, floored by all the anti-Cal talk. Disgusting... and I didn't think I would see the volume of it I did.
It's okay to criticize a timeout, a play call, etc. But we are looking at a mini-dynasty after an abysmal Tubby/Billy Clyde years.. we are the most spoiled fan base ever.

It appears that way. But it could be more immaturity or a temporary lack of intestinal fortitude more so than selfishness.

Let me make a few points.

I have re-watched the game 4 times. Booker was pertty bad moving without the ball. As was Lyles until the dOT period.
We must run something for guys to get open or those that dominate the ball are sure to have to take more shots.. appearing selfish.

I do think Aaron took way too many ill-advised shots. That's on both Cal and Aaron. But I am not bashing either one of them. We are undefeated and some game film will do the team some good, I am sure. Cal has given us NO reason to bash him. Second guess, sure.. but there were tons of fans outright murdering him.

I always blame the coach more than the players, by far.. it's on the coach to demand better shots or to sit the player(s). Again, Cal has been a STUD at UK.. like a legend, actually... so I will refrain beating the guy up when we WIN two close games.
