Rupp's Rafters Conspiracy Theory makes Deadspin

Steelers2012 · Mar 24, 2018

Well...RR's conspiracy theorists have done it again. Laughing

"This is wonderful: a forum thread on a Rupp Rafters, a Rivals.com page dedicated to Kentucky basketball, has produced a conspiracy theory that positions the Wildcats as the victims of a plot to undermine their success by granting them too many free throws in their Sweet 16 loss to 9-seed Kansas State."

Wow, the NCAA is going and this is what you are worried about?

I am a premium member and I don't read the stupidity, but you start a thread on it.

Holy cow!

JimboBBN · Mar 24, 2018

Yay another Rapters thread!

KisteK · Mar 24, 2018

Well Steve sounds like a mental midget and it's not shocking more than a few "liked" his posts.

I'll never understand why the better BBNers evsr defend the stoopid BBNers.. I call all idiots, idiots.

Idiots

Thanks for unlocking the thread LST...for a more appropriate time.

MGO1668 · Mar 26, 2018

I love that place quite honestly

Quavarius · Mar 26, 2018

So the refs screwed them in 2017 by not calling enough fouls and then screwed them in 2018 for calling too many fouls. Deplorable!

ThroughBlue · Mar 26, 2018

Love some good rafters threads. Keep linking them OP

I went to Rupp Rafters and read that lunatic’s conspiracy theory. Needless to say that tin foil hat wizard doesn’t have a large following at all. I’m no lumping all UK fans together on this one. There are too many good UK posters here who are laughing at that moron and rightfully so.

The guy who submitted his conspiracy theory is a complete f**ktard.

Another “let’s look out our noses at dumb southerners” shitpost out of Deadspin.

Shocking.

Very news worthy stuff. Anonymous message board poster has dumb theory, more at 11.

ThroughBlue · Mar 26, 2018

I’m just glad they didn’t get their hands on the real conspiracy in the state. Big
Blue nation infiltrating the UL athletic department and bringing it down from the inside in a quest to change it to UK-L campus

Rent....wait for it....

Free.

JimboBBN · Mar 26, 2018

I mean, what else could we be focusing on in late March other than Rafters?

UK fans kinda open themselves up to this since going after a ref last year and ANYTIME they lose a game. Maybe UK fans will change their tone when it comes to blaming refs for their losses. If not, the mocking will continue.

Oh give me a break. A few dumbasses go overboard after a game and now every UK fan is responsible for changing their tones so we don't get mocked. I think its funny how ate up some of the folks on here are with Kentucky fans.

Exactly. I'm mean we are talking about Deadspin and RR.

Funny how the narrative changes when its about UK/UK fans. When something is posted about Duke, we're obsessed. When something is posted about U of L, again, we are obsessed. When something is posted about UK fans, we are supposed to take it. Funny shit, let me tell ya.

I'm cool with UK threads. I'm ok with SVP posting on RR, I'm ok with UK's board being center of attention. I mean who wants to read about any other message board.

I didn't make any post,therefore when others bring out stuff other UK fans say, I'm not offended at all.

Also this threads shows who's the most interested in following the UK following.

I mean, this thread is great.

I can’t wait to talk to you one on one in this years podcast and explain to you just why it’s much more entertaining and relevant when BBN does it.

Make it happen @ThePhog08

Just a suggestion. Can't keep getting mad if Kentucky is talked about in the media. Don't give them anything to talk about. It's not like it's Fake News.

The white knighting of rafters continues. Who would’ve thought?

Who's mad? If anything, we know BBN loves the attention.

Who wants to be boring and never relevant?

Also, you realize the author of the story wasn't reading other messageboards. Probably due to boredom.

I know. There’s a reason for that too. Come find out why in this years Rivals Podcast hosted by @ThePhog08

If we put every fanbase under a microscope like we do with Rafters, we could run stories about every team. But its cool, we are the KOCB

It’s not that it’s UK. They do this consistently to SEC region sports teams/fans because of the demographic. It’s very much part of the Gawker model.

I won’t click the article, but I’d imagine the comment section will give you all the proof you need about the commentariat.
