Apparently I am the Dumbest Fan in Kentucky

You made it! @Dereksdsw

Congratulations on your post going viral

Calling me Kentucky dumbest fan for wanting the program in a better long term position is backwards. This isn’t anti SEC emotion it's pro Kentucky logic. Kentucky is a basketball brand, not a football accessory. And right now, the SEC is built to maximize football value, even when it comes at the expense of its biggest basketball asset: Kentucky Meanwhile, the Big Ten offers things that directly benefit Kentucky basketball Largest TV revenue with multiple partners (FOX, CBS, NBC) More consistent officiating Stronger, more reliable NCAA Tournament positioning League office that protects its marquee brands

My question how they actually run that account they post so many different message boards stuff.

Don’t know how they do it, but it’s honestly a solid account. That said, this isn’t the first post of mine they’ve used. I posted that Kentucky would only continue to go backwards if we stayed with Cal. They mocked it. Looking back now, I’m comfortable saying I was right on that one too.

Just me personally not going in to the whole pope debate but in year 3 if we have the same season I hope not but I will join the fire pope group because 3 years in basketball is enough time to tell

The thing is, I’m not ready to fire Pope. But I 100% agree we cannot do this again next year and have him coming back for a fourth year. One thing I’ll say though I actually love that he’s a sore loser. I want a coach who hates losing.

I believe my thing I want him to win so bad because the 1990s Kentucky teams is my favorite era of Kentucky basketball because that’s when I was old enough to understand basketball.

I want him to win because he loves Kentucky just as much as anyone on this message board. If he can get over the hump, he can be great here long term especially in an era when so many coaches view Kentucky as a stepping stone to their next job.

Once again, I stand by it. At the very least, Kentucky should use its position within the SEC to push for meaningful change. If that isn’t possible, then the idea of moving on shouldn’t be ruled out.

No offense but they're not leaving a conference that they have been a part of since it's inception. It's nonsense.

Louisville thread got posted now so your moving to old new on that page lol

Sorry, dumbest fan goes to whatever person is screenshotting KSBoard and posting it to X. If you’re reading this, I’ve got some real hot Survivor takes you can shove up your… forgive me… but the tribe has spoken…

I’ve mentioned it before like us changing conferences for football for us to be in the acc or big ten in football because we’re so bad at football we would compete better in those conferences. Your talking about basketball big 12 or big ten I would even take acc you get Duke Carolina every year so why not.

Problem is we are the King of the SEC in Basketball. Walking out at this point would be a huge mistake and would make us look scared. Right when competition got better, we walk out? No. There is no reason why we shouldn't have a top 5 team every year like Duke. It starts at the AD.

If you don’t at least explore options that could be more beneficial to you, that’s nonsense.

The point of my rant about changing conferences isn’t that Kentucky should leave tomorrow it’s about leverage. Kentucky should use its position to force real change within the conference. There are things that clearly need to change. Why does Kentucky have to play the top preseason ranked team in the SEC twice every single year? That’s not competitive balance that’s branding one program to prop up another. We also need real transparency in officiating. Fans deserve to know how officials are assigned to each game, and there should be public grading of officials after games, similar to how the NBA handles it. Accountability matters. If the SEC isn’t willing to make things better or even have those conversations, then Kentucky should absolutely explore other options and if that means going to the Big Ten and making more money while getting better governance, so be it.

Not surprised at all. I honestly don’t think it’s the worst take.
