The haters are coming from everywhere. Seems like everyone is hoping for a UK loss. Every excuse from Cal cheats to the players are bought and paid for. etc. I expect that from L-ville, but now others are joining in. The sad part is all those players, fans and schools would jump at the chance to have Cal, our guys and UK tradition

I think this happens to us more than other teams but it does happen and it will only make us stronger.

It's called a combination of envy and hatred.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-26-2015, 02:18 PM:

ENVY OUR PAST, FEAR OUR FUTURE!!!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-26-2015, 02:49 PM:

Our future is bright no doubt about it. That said we still have a long way to go and it isn't going to get any easier.

I clicked a link to CBS Sports on Facebook last night, about the Cats. Some (most) of the comments there were so hateful/envious that it was almost funny. The excuses and vitriol ranged from Cal cheats, and has ruined college basketball, paid players, etc, to "If they played Kansas again, we'd win by double digits." That was the funny part! Also lots from Arkansas, Arizona, ACC, and Big 10.

If we don't win it all, there will be plenty of UK fans who will turn on Cal .

Posted by phillrose1 (Member # 2916) on 02-26-2015, 09:05 PM:

They hate us cause they ain't us. A friend of mine who is a Duke fan was pick on me about losing to Robert Morris in the NIT and all is could say is Leigh High. Everyone complaining would shut off their pinky to have Cal and our team.

It's actually an annual rite for us CATS fans.... the later in the season and the better we look, the more the haters seem to multiply.... The last 4-5years its been exponential...... as we haven't had a slack/off year......

and to think, we still feel the same things about dUKe...

What's the common denominator???? Winning, year in and year out....... the haters are typically the losers...

When you anger someone you own them. Just remember that. Because you are in their head!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-27-2015, 12:48 AM:

I don't think to many will turn on Cal even if we don't win it all. He is such a good recruiter it's just a matter of time before he wins again. I can see him winning another 2 or 3 more championships before he leaves. I can't imagine UK basketball without him coaching.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-27-2015, 06:17 AM:

He's certainly turned this program into what we as UK fnas have always hoped it would be like!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-27-2015, 08:34 AM:

The only thing Cal is missing on his resume is multiple National titles and he will continue to recruit and coach until he does. It's just a matter of time and it looks like this year the stars are lining up real well.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-27-2015, 08:40 AM:

The one thing this team has that his past teams haven't had is depth and players that can play every facet of the game. It's what makes this team so special. We can shoot inside and out, rebound, defend and have the ability to adapt to anything team's might try to exploit. We just don't have any weaknesses.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-27-2015, 10:52 AM:

There's no drop off from teh bench!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-27-2015, 11:49 AM:

Our bench is what really sets us apart from other teams.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-27-2015, 11:50 AM:

IMO It's the best bench Cal has ever had and that's saying something.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-27-2015, 01:08 PM:

Our opponents have discovered this as well

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-27-2015, 02:26 PM:

I agree with FC, the haters are typically the losers.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-27-2015, 07:31 PM:

We've had a lot of haters these days!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-27-2015, 08:14 PM:

I'd probably hate us too, if I wasn't one of us! [Big Grin]

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-28-2015, 12:07 AM:

This team would be any basketball fans dream team and we are so lucky to have both Cal and the players we have.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-28-2015, 12:09 AM:

If we do what we are capable of this team will go down as one of if not the best team ever. We have a ways to go but we have a lot going for us and it's in our reach.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-28-2015, 08:53 AM:

One game at a tiime

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-28-2015, 10:33 AM:

Today it's Arkansas and that is what this team is concentrating on.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-28-2015, 10:44 AM:

Cal wants US to focus on US getting better!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-28-2015, 10:48 AM:

I think we are getting better!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-28-2015, 02:22 PM:

I think we will find out today how much we have improved.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 02-28-2015, 02:23 PM:

We will have to improve if we want to meet all our goals.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-28-2015, 02:41 PM:

That's what coach has bee preaching, IMPROVEMENT!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 03-01-2015, 09:44 AM:

MH, every coach's goal is improvement.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 03-01-2015, 09:45 AM:

Where Cal stands out he gets improvement and a lot of it.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-01-2015, 01:59 PM:

With the type of talent he's been bringing in, it's almost expected!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 03-01-2015, 02:35 PM:

It looks like next season we won't have to much talent coming in as their is no room with all our players that might stay another year.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-01-2015, 03:08 PM:

That MIGHT is a big word!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-01-2015, 03:08 PM:

We "MIGHT" have 4 or 5 go too!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 03-01-2015, 11:25 PM:

We shall see and 4 players leaving is a possibility.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 03-01-2015, 11:26 PM:

I guess only time will tell but one thing is for sure who ever goes or stays Kentucky will have a very good basketball team next year.

Not sure next years team can live up to this years squad and I hope people don't expect them too!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 03-02-2015, 12:31 PM:

It really doesn't matter so much on what we think as much as how the Cats play.
