Going to debate Kentucky on the 'white board' segment at 12:45pm today. Appears the 'chick' on there that gives UK zero credit is trying to blast us.
Kentucky Debate coming up on First Take (12:45)
- Thread starter dnabbott25
- Start date
I find it hilarious that at no point last year did ANY talking head bad mouth Wich St. And when Duke is having a great year - no talking head bad mouths them. Also, where has been the bad mouthing of Virginia, because I've not seen one article from anyone talking about anything negative?
Let's not even get into Gonzaga and that unfounded slurp fest. Year in and year out, Gonzaga rides the coattails of a comically-weak conference with a spattering of a few decent, but not top-tier non-conference teams, yet there is still no one in the media willing to go on record and talk about Gonzaga's weaknesses or rationales for their performance in the same tone that they do with UK.
The only team that gets national criticism when they are doing well is Kentucky. Plain and simple. I know, we are getting great press as well, but for every 10 that are positive, there are 1-2 that are horrifically negative (Boston Globe, this chick on First Take, etc.) and always looking for a way to detract from our good year (weak schedule, Cal cheats, one-and-done, blah blah blah). Yet during any of the aforementioned teams' good seasons, it was and still is impossible to find anyone saying even the slightest negative thing about them.
Is it just more fun to beat up UK and their fans because we give them hits and attention?
