IYO, What Makes UK Fans So Obnoxious to Outside Fans?
- Thread starter Random UK Fan
- Start date
Probably about the time K started making Duke good. I know we got 8 in our rearview mirror and I see plenty ahead through the windshield.
Yeah, emotion over analytics is definitely @dukedevilz MO…
I like you Bert, there's lot of good Kentucky folk but there's more that are down in the dumps without much going on in their lives. Indiana isn't much better, according to reports they're better but not by much, especially in the south west corner and north of Indy. Blame the drug epidemic in the Midwest.
Haha right. I'm of the persuasion that the louder you yell, the more correct you are.
The whole modern era rankings wasn't something I thought of myself. It was a suggestion by a Purdue fan - and boilerzz relayed that suggestion over to me. I simply agreed to run similar numbers that I did for my all-time database, and see who came out on top. In the poll I created a few months ago, I was only gauging to see where people wanted to see the start date for the modern era.
The idea of ranking the top programs of the modern era was not mine, nor was 1985 an arbitrary timeframe that I picked; it was the consensus of the board.
Normal fans aren’t online super fans (i.e., weirdos, and I include myself!), and they don’t think a basketball program’s historical accomplishments should enable a normal, everyday fan to act entitled, lol. When you think about it, being an actual jerk toward other teams’ fans because your players/coaches (i.e., not you…) win games is extra lame.
Living in Chicago, I don’t know any UK fans, but I’ve heard stories from folks in SEC country. Nobody likes an entitled prick, and they like them even less when they’re that way because of other men’s accomplishments. Plenty of room to cheer on your team and be proud and even talk some smack without crossing a line.

If your team can't be best, pick a period. Pick it Duke. You were jack shit before 1990. Your team has had a good run, but will it continue that your one coach is no longer around?
Come on Dukedevilz you are better than this.
1985 Duke was shit. You know it. UK by 1985 had a bunch of championships, UNC a couple and poor Uconn, Villanova and Duke had diddly squat.
I keep going back to the big teams. KU, UK, IU and UNC. Duke is good but not near the top historically.
Geeze this is stupid.
Maybe I will conduct a poll, pick the audience and brag about it.
I may do it on Rupp's Rafters. That is a good place. I will pick 1930!
Like you going to a Duke site to do you pose.
This girl is a UK fan, beat that!
Thanks Stellers.
I hope that I am one of those obnoxious posters that makes your time here "intolerable".
I am Proud to be an obnoxious UK fan, but Louisville is not UK's most hated rival. You have it all wrong. UL is not even close. Have you ever heard of Tennessee, Florida, Vandy, UNC, Kansas, Indiana, et.al.?
I have forgotten more about UK basketball than you ever knew about Louisville basketball, plus I went to UofL, back when it was private. I love the University of Louisville because they made me a lot of money by teaching me economics.
Here is to your school!
And what has Auburn done in either sport?
Plus please go back to school and take grammar.
PLEASE!
Auburn has done something Kentucky has not done in football and some thing Alabama has not done in basketball. It’s about 5 pm there gramps. Time for bed
You dumb shit you know nothing about basketball.
When Pat Riley and UK lost to Texas Western was in 1966. UCLA was jack shit, Bozo.
God you are basketball stupid.

Like I said in my previous post, I was requested to rank the best schools of the modern era. I'm simply following through and saying, "Hey, sure, why not. Let's rank the greatest programs of the modern era."
You're kind of answering the question of the OP if you're going to be this sensitive.
Thank you Bert. You are the perfect personification of what this thread is all about. 👌
The point is that Kentucky Dominating the sport ended with that loss. Once black players were accepted across the ranks Kentucky has not been as Been as dominant
Good. Please use all you "folks in SEC county" and quote them and where they are from. Go fine a UK prick. Then tell us all about him. Let us counter your lies.
Geeze.
To be fair most of the UK fans that are pricks barely graduated high school and likely never attended a college class.
Your basketball team lost to Israel!
It is time you went to bed. Your mom has your bottle ready.
GEEZE.
Probably should stfu since UK lost to St. Peter’s. Israel has nba players on their team and would stroke UK this season also. Time to change your depends geezer
Yep. The OP is my buddy. I love him, I know him. We had a private discussion about the thread before he started it.
I am an obnoxious Kentucky fan. No doubt about it. I was an obnoxious Kentucky fan probably before you were born.
I have no reasons to be anything but obnoxious.
In another 50 years come back and brag about Duke being the greatest of the great. I will not be around but maybe the internet will be.
I have called you old. Not a prick. I enjoy messing with you. It’s fun
I am a prick.
You are a prick.
I am an old prick.
I do not enjoy messing with you because I find you anything but pleasing.
Yale has 18 FBS National Championships in Football, Alabama only has 17. Therefore, Yale is the all-time greatest program in College Football history.
It's possible some might like to see modern era rankings, because I don't know... things like the inclusion of African-Americans among the majority of schools, the 3-point line, the shot clock, at-large bids, freshmen eligible to play, and a 68-team field all make the modern era significantly differently than the pre-1980's or pre-1970's.
I agree here. I also think having multiple coaches win but at your program is something t that should not be overlooked. If Duke goes the next 10-15 years without Even a final 4. Is duke held in the same light they are now? At present coach K is bigger than duke basketball. We will see if duke basketball become bigger though
Bert, you are just hurt because we are excluding 75% of your lifetime.
The best 2 quotes of this thread so far.
Funny thing is, the exact opposite is true in this case. Dukedevilz is just putting together an unbiased ranking (at someone else's request, I think), using a widely accepted starting point.
You, meanwhile, want to change the timeframe because you don't like the result. Trying to put your program at a level it doesn't deserve in this conversation.
We were in the top 10 for all-time wins and Final Fours before K arrived on campus. I think we'll be alright. But I suppose you could argue we'd be flirting with Indiana territory.
The thread asked why UK fans might have a bad reputation, and I’ve heard they’re more obnoxious and/or arrogant than most. Maybe they are, maybe they aren’t; I don’t care, lol.
The point is that, in the eyes of normal people, UK’s basketball history/current success doesn’t give a random fan a right to act any certain way.
Alright I’ll bite ITT. First off, my whole family is from Kentucky (originally from Salyersville). I grew up playing basketball and I loved watching Kentucky play during the Pitino years. I have a deep respect for Kentucky basketball and it’s tradition. Being an Auburn fan and living in Alabama…as @AuHoosier420 pointed out, Kentucky fans and Bama fans are very similar in terms of being sore losers when they get beat. As a fan, I can’t understand why it’s so hard to just say, “Hey, congrats, your team beat our ass today, we deserved that L…” Instead, with UK fans and UA fans it’s always, “The refs gave you that game”….”Bruce is a cheater! Enjoy it while you can before you’re on probation!”…Like WTF? I don’t get rustled by it, I actually think it’s funny as hell, I’ve just never understood it.
Well I was obnoxious in my posts and I did not get pounded like I expected. The folks on the board are first class.
At the moment UK is in a downhill skid on greatness. Cal has not done much lately. It has been a long time since UK won an NCAA game. Way too long.

Reminds me of one of my all-time favorite threads on the board started by @UL_1986; “Another Thread Ruined By UK Fans”.
