UK AD Barnhart named Chair of NCAA basketball committee for '20-21
- Thread starter Steelers2012
- Start date
He has done a hell of a job. I can’t remember a time our athletic department was ever doing this well
It's kind of crazy to see our company in the constant top 15 directors cup.
IIRC, we were top 10 a couple of years ago. Still hovering top 15 is an accomplishment.
Most fans are assholes. I prefer this board so the assholes don't get too asshollyish.If they get too asshollyish, or too holy for their fishes asshole, then they get called on it. Plus @MrBaracus gives the best head.
Waaaaait.....Jeff sez I’m an obsessed hater for making the same observation. Are you sure? May want to double check your work. I’m pretty sure that only obsessed haters draw this conclusion.
Stop being Jeff's victim. Most everyone here knows homeboards are the worst. That's why it's crazy to see someone so obsessed with one.
Stop being Jeff's victim. Most everyone here knows homeboards are the worst. That's why it's crazy to see someone so obsessed with one.
So obsessed that I’ve been on there a handful of times in about six months. Quit trying to equate it to other homeboards. Home boards are typically a combination of homerism and criticism of their own. Not hatred of anything and everything else in existence.
So you're saying UK's home board is better than any other fan base's home board? Why else would you chose it to frequent so often?
Also, it's a little funny you try and separate yourself from it while bringing up so often. Not long ago, you said you didn't visit in months and I posted a link where you had just visited, now the story has changed to "hand full of times". If you're going to bring it up as a whatever crutch,then just own living on there.
Is a handful of times in six months often to you?
But a KU fan might be more likely to go there for two reasons: far more traffic than most boards, and they create a lot of threads about KU.
Shit, I can give you the list.

They create a lot of threads about most teams, yet their fans don't whine so much on here about it.
Not going in circles about this yet again. But anything I say about that board is in response to “why are you obsessed with UK? Waaaaaaaah!!”

If I were a KU fan, I'd probably go to where the traffic is also. I recently visited the KU board and wow. Even the other KU board was pretty bad, but that's how home boards go.
Any how. I'm glad Barnhart is getting the pub he deserves. Just last year...
When Barnhart took over 17 years ago, you'd find Kentucky ranked anywhere between No. 50 and No. 100 in the Directors' Cup all-sports standing. At the moment, UK is ranked No. 6.
It's one thing to just have finished the school's best football season in four decades. But Kentucky is finding success in non-revenue sports, both men's and women's.
"During Mitch Barnhart's tenure, we have reached unprecedented levels of academic and competitive accomplishment," UK President Eli Capilouto said. "This award recognizes his deep and compelling commitment to students and their personal success, and to the academic mission of the institution. You see that commitment in the program's strong graduation rate and grade-point average. Several teams have competed for and won conference and national championships, along with individual titles and recognitions in virtually every sport. And UK Athletics' financial investment in academic and need-based scholarships and in our instructional facilities is unmatched. At each step of the way, he built upon this momentum with respect and integrity. I know I speak for the entire UK family when I offer him our heartfelt congratulations on this well-deserved honor."
Also note: Our sports have a surplus and we give back to the University.

I have never been on a Kansas home board.
The only home boards that I have been on are UL, IU, UNC, Duke, UF and UT. I have not been on RuppsRafters in over a year as they attack anything that moves.
Well, hopefully you’ll quit asking me every other day why I visit that board once a month. But probably not.
I love your hyperbole. It really is your best quality as a poster.
If you don't understand hyperbole, Just look at my post history and see if it's "every other day". You really love to embellish UK and their fans. It's like a hobby for you.
For the people in the back...
Weren’t you just attempting to call me out for whining? This sounds awfully whiny.
My favorite quality of yours is the way you edit your posts to add a wall of text after everyone has already read and/or responded.
Thanks. That's one of my favorite parts. I honestly have no idea what you mean, but OK.
Just curious,
What does KU's list look like?
Did no one bother to make one? Realized it was worthless after compiling one? Every stat was ranked 15 or below?
I'm a good guy who feels guilty about making fun of other teams after they attack UK.

He honestly has no idea what I mean, then proceeds to do it in this very post. Laughing
15 or below in every category huh? Good one.
My favorite bullet point in our list? “Better than UK in the modern era.”
Only Kentucky fans can talk shit about rafters
It's kind of nuts. I offer a couple of guys to play RDR2 on a big screen w/DD7.1 and they go nuts.I offer them unlimited whiskey and they leave drunk. I'm goin no where here, just wanted to tell that story.
I'm kind of wondering if they though I only picked them up off the side of the road to have sex with them.
I don't know what you mean.I'm just telling my morning.
I'm pretty sure, you'll have a moment of clarity while hanging out.
What list? Remind me.
When you're getting your ass kicked on here, as has been the case all week, you start flailing to get out of it. I don't remember which one of your deflective posts you're referring to.
UK triggers you, they rustle you and you can't stand the fact that UK fans aren't triggered by KU in any way.
Why are you so miserable? Do you need someone to talk to?
Show me on the doll where UK touched you.
DUKE LOVER!
You've posted over on Devils Illustrated a few times, too.
Wait, does Lurker really interview board members?
Where did you go? I brought the dude into the call and we couldn’t hear you anymore
Dude you changed your tune when you knew someone was listeningMe?! Oh, this is lies!
holy ****. I didn't realize.
