AsburySkinsFan Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Your team of Jr's and Sr's had to fight from 5 down with to win by 2 against our young pups. And hell yes, I feel we should win EVERY freaking year! If you feel any different about your team then that's on you, we don't settle for complacency or mediocrity that's why Rupp Arena's rafters are lined with 8 National Championship banners.

Elessar78 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 So assuming you're around 80 years old, you've seen 61 years of unacceptable finishes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take you into some nursing homes here in Kentucky and the fans in there would definitely agree with that sentiment. There is one 10 min from me that has a four foot one of these painted on the wall. Seriously, you guys on the East coast really do think we're exaggerating about UK basketball. Among the NCAA fanbases NONE compares to UK with average knowledge and passion. This is why every stadium we play in is turned into UK blue. It's why we call Atlanta, "Catlanta". It's why we turn opposing home stadiums into home court for us. It's why Joe B. Hall (who is a Kentucky favorite) is considered an average UK coach. Tubby Smith moved from UK because he thinks that Sweet 16's and tournament appearances are the measure of success. So yeah, 61 unacceptable seasons sounds about right.

No way THIS dumbass was EVER a coach of the winningest program in NCAA Division I Men's Basketball. I even heard this idiot wore Tennessee orange to his arraignment hearing. A UK basketball coach would have chose to stand naked before the judge rather than shame himself in Rockytop Orange. 8 minutes ago, TryTheBeal! said: This is the NCAA thread.

AsburySkinsFan Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I bet UNC could have won 5 championships in the five years between the passage of the Civil Rights Act and the integration of their Division I program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I expect my team to win it all every single year. I love how you left out that your team had to fight well into the second half just to even take a lead. Anyhow, a win is a win. Kentucky has a great team and beat us early in the year and we beat them when it counted most. Though the early season loss still stings, I'll take this one over a regular season loss any day of the week. LOL, four of those banners were before you and I were even born. And I'm willing to bet that there is a good chance (though I don't know you) that you weren't even born or were too young to remember or hadn't moved out of DC yet (assuming you left at some point since your a Skins fan that lives in KY) when they won their 5th in 1978. I'll give the benefit of the doubt though, so in your lifetime and in my lifetime we have both enjoyed watching our teams win four national championships.

First, the fact that you think other fan bases cannot be equally passionate or knowledgeable is just a silly statement. There are plenty of fan bases that are just as passionate about their team and have just as many knowledgeable fans as Kentucky does. Now, I have no doubt in my mind how passionate KY fans are, I've met a few over the years. I can guarantee that no arena on Tobacco Road (Duke, UNC, NC State) gets turned into UK blue.
