I have made that point before. Of all the national boards the people on this one are the softest. Sometimes I’ll see posters joke with each other about how you need to have thick skin to handle it around here. Makes me chuckle.
More Passionate: UK Fans or the Folks That Dislike UK Fans?

The real question is who are the best rustlers on this board..
Well, for starters, “isn’t” implies current inferiority, and that hasn’t been the case for 40 years. And certainly not the most recent season. But that’s beside the point.
Sure, anyone can bandwagon a sports team from another area. I could declare myself a Patriots fan today. But there’s not much pride in that is there? There are no consensus pro sports teams that Kentuckians root for. And the closest franchises are generally terrible too.
No. Right over state line. Are you implying that only people on the Missouri side of state line should be Chiefs/Royals fans?
No one tried to bring Kentucky into that thread. You confused it for a Kentucky thread because you and the rest of your goons swarmed it like moths to flame.
every thread I get in goes multiple pages. It’s child’s play on here
So you live in Kansas City, Missouri? Just to clarify.
This is fun for me, as I know I am a bigger NFL fan than you are, and probably support my team just as well if not better. I'm glad you are hanging on to this past year. Top 5 year for KU IMO. As with most good years for Kansas, nothing to show for it.
….here's where your butt buddy turned things in that thread toward UK:

Of course there aren't, because there are so many teams in that region. Northern Kentuckians root for the Bengals, western Kentuckians root for the Titans, Steelers in eastern KY, etc. Typically you'll find that people will pull for the team that is most local to them. In regard to Kansas, the Chiefs are the only franchise within 500 miles in football and the only other team within that range in baseball is the Cardinals.
It's a very weird argument.. like you can't cheer for a team that isn't within a certain number of miles. Strange. But again, consider the source.
I am a Bengals/Reds fan (as unfortunate as that may be). I was born in Cincinnati and grew up in northern KY. Funny thing is, where I used to live in KY I was closer to the stadiums than the vast majority of Cincinnatians. But they can't be my teams because they're in another state?
Right, I love how he threw out the word bandwagon, too. My NFL team is the Panthers. I wish I was a fan of a better team, no doubtI am a Bengals/Reds fan (as unfortunate as that may be). I was born in Cincinnati and grew up in northern KY. Funny thing is, where I used to live in KY I was closer to the stadiums than the vast majority of Cincinnatians. But they can't be my teams because they're in another state?
but my reasons for loving them are just as legit as someone who lives closer to a franchise. If he lives outside of Kansas, can we still make fun of the Jayhawks as his team?
Being a Bungals fan, I hate Lamar. Now they have Dobbins to add to the mix...
You obviously know nothing about this area.
Is the concept of regional pride escaping you? It’s not that complicated.
Maybe Joe Burrows can finally make the Bengals not suck complete cock.Being a Bungals fan, I hate Lamar. Now they have Dobbins to add to the mix...

Yes, they can be your team.
I really hope you guys are missing the point intentionally or this is sad.
Not missing the point. I just explained the "regional pride" thing to you and you didn't respond. Like I said, there are no other teams around Kansas, therefore if you like football you like the Chiefs and if you like baseball you like the Royals.
You just made a stupid argument and now you’re backtracking. Can’t say I’m shocked by the lack of logic.
But the teams in close proximity don’t win anything, like the Bengals, Titans, Reds, etc. That was my point.
No, your point was, "there are no consensus pro sports teams that Kentuckians root for," and I explained why that is. What does it matter if the teams in close proximity win or not? I thought we were talking about "regional pride" as you said. Are you saying you were only a Royals fan when they were good for a few seasons 5 years ago and not the 30 years prior that they sucked ass (and didn't make a single playoff appearance)? Reds have won 5 World Series titles, btw, which is 1 more title than the Royals and Chiefs combined.
So you still don’t get the point?
Everyone in this area is a Chiefs and Royals fan if they follow the sports. For obvious reasons. They’re in our backyard and are the sole focus of local media.
No one in Kentucky is that close to a pro team. Some are relatively close to the Bengals and Reds, but neither win. The fact that you’re a Carolina fan only adds to my point.

Interesting. Garden City, Kansas is 375 miles from Kansas City, MO. Harlan, KY is 230 miles from Charlotte, NC. Cincinnati is just across the river from Kentucky (the river is the state border)... just like KC is just across the river from Kansas. The Cincinnati International airport is in Kentucky. Perhaps you should study a map.

I believe I responded to pic of Cal... so obviously I didn’t bring up UK 1st.….here's where your butt buddy turned things in that thread toward UK:

The only clean head coaches your team has ever had.
Maybe during your next spooning, try talking him out of turning every thread into something about UK.
Doesn’t matter what I did... the fact is that I didn’t bring up UK 1st & then I didn’t cry about someone hijacking a UK thread.... you’re a special kind of stupid.
...meanwhile, you're just 'special'. Just so you don't get confused... that wasn't a compliment.
Now go snuggle with your boy Baracus and try to come to a nice resolution as to who has to wear the nipple clamps.
I didn’t realize the Reds had that many, but the last was in the mid-70s. Doesn’t change my point.
Most Kentuckians haven’t seen the top of the mountain in any sports outside of the ‘12 title in 20+ years.
Which, as I’ve said, explains why you still talk about that game like it happened yesterday.
The last was 1990. I see you keep changing your point, how convenient.
I see you have failed to respond to multiple posts where I pointed out your geographical shortcomings.
What the hell does "I personally all the fans of blue. . . ." mean.
Geeze did Auburn offer "bone head" English classes?
The Z/Nile thread is full of UK fans and detractors right now. It’s somehow turned into another UK ping pong match.
Wow that's crazy. Another thread that has nothing to do with UK changes topic because one UK fan post in it. That's just nuts.The Z/Nile thread is full of UK fans and detractors right now. It’s somehow turned into another UK ping pong match.

You're surprised? I've not even looked at it yet and I sense 2 strong possibilities as to who turned/hijacked that thread.
