UK vs Texas A&M

Probably b/c you guys bitch about everey single official. Especially when losing. Funny we don't see this when UK is winning, or wins.
Boy you are someone to be bitching about UK fans when IU fans are the absolute worst bitchers in the college game.
 
FTR----I was in no way complaining about the officiating. I was just poking fun at the UK Tin Foil Hat CLub. Felt I needed to point this for you "slower" folks.

Carry on.
Just curious. Outside of that blanant miss call on SKJ where in this thread were there enough post in this thread for a "Tin foil hat club"? TIA

I see way more posts by other fans complaining about the refs then moving the goad posts to "well UK fans complain about refs,in the past", when called on it.
 
Or, or, or.......Lets say A&M's at full strength for the entire season. Or for at least one or two games, prior to this one.

Or, or, or....Lets say Hoag doesn't get cramps.

Really doesn't matter.

Just seems to me you're making more out of this win than there is. "We are down 4 schollys and beat a TX A&M team, who's back at full strength".

Its a good win. Aggies are a good team. But lets not act as if this was some type of NC State/Houston type of miracle.
Are you still crying? Call Mommy and let her console you.
 
"Care this much"? AS in...........what do yo mean? Is there a reason you guys have a thread about IU on your homeboard, that is like, ummm, forever long? A thread pertaining to how IU sucks. Why do they care so much over there for, Hank?

What about the Seventy-hundred, billion-trillion page thread pertaining to UL? I mean, why is it UK fans care so much?

See this is the thing with some of you. You get after UL....IU....Duke...UNC and KU fans. Poke the fire. Make fun of them. So on and so on. BUT.........When the favor is returned?

Yeah you get like this. SUddenly I;m a hater. He's a hater. ANd its weird. Because you guys do the same shit. Yet it's different.

Go figure.

Why do I care? I really don't. I just knew the responses I would get.

I will say----------You guys didn't disappoint.

“Care this much” as in writing 10,000 words about an early January conference game involving two teams you don’t cheer for.

You really shouldn’t let Rupps Rafters and a handful of posters on here get to you this much.

It was a bad call that was obvious on replay, one of many that night, and it was a whistle swallow on a cross court baseball pass with 2 seconds on the clock, against the road team. It’s really not that egregious, man.

You think that gets called in Assembly?

UK tried to give that game away, but A&M just didn’t hit the shots.

Yeah I know. Tell me about it. I mean remember when they(IU fans) threatened an official, and the FBI got involved? That shit was crazy wasn't it? I think there's a lawsuit going on now b/c of it.

And even worse....Did you know those whining SOB's keep track of wins/losses with officials who've worked their games. I know---hard to believe.

Crazy muther****ers those dudes are.


Oh,oh, oh...I almost forgot. Remember when they lost a road game, and cried about how they were treated? Now that shit was funny. Damn cannot believe I forgot that.

Anyways...Yeh, you;re right. (IU fans) are the absolute worst bitchers in the college game.

Nothing gets to me. Apparently it does to you. I'm having fun. I knew the responses i would get------Why you think I done it? Some of you are just sooooooooooooo easy to get riled up. It's just to hard to pass on. Hell my wife tells me half the shit to type. She sits right here with me---Laughing here god damn ass off. She knows it's all in fun. Says all the time---"Baby you;d better hope one of those crazy muther****ers don't find out who you are".

Some of you need to lighten up.

It was a post/jab at how you guys always feel the officials are out to get you. Yet you get a big time break. It's called IRONY/Ironic, etc, etvc...

Do I think that gets called in Assembly Hall? Nope. Not a chance. MOF, I don't think it gets called at Cameron, AFH, UNC, Yum............That's not the point.

Yes it was a bad call. And yeah, it really was that egregious. But that is neither here nor there. But I will say this-----

I doubt you have that same feeling(Not a bad/egregious call) if it had been called. Or had it been UK that got held. And THAT was(part of) the point.

Good win. God luck at Vandy.

I thought this as well. The turnover in the trap without calling the time out. The near A&M steal near the end of the game on the inbounds, the missed FT's. The last minute or so showed UK's is all freshman and two sophomore....and short handed.

Doug Shows would've called the foul if he wasn't scared of Big Blue Mafia. That's how we roll. Get used to it.

In other news, this team is quietly improving every game. PJ Washington has been consistently good and looks better every game. He's arguably the most important player at this rate.

People talk about how UK lacks a go-to guy. I see that as a good thing. All great UK teams lacked a go-to guy because just about all of them can be that guy.

This team doesn't have as much talent (or even close) as 96,12,15... but is in the realm of '14... and that's gonna set up for a gnarly '19 in just about any scenario.

Add a Vanderbilt at 2 months and this team will be legit.

The WVU game in Morgantown could be a turning point.
 
sucks that a missed call (where was he borden, you would have teleported to the other end!) in a game i didnt really care about with vanderbelt still out is used by espin and the tobacco road coalition as proof that ky gets the homecookin everyone else gets or is equal to the cheating of higgins in tourney games.

durr im a ref!

theres millons of ky fans, sure your going to hear those who dont know the game complain because they hear those that do complain about refs like the rooferee.he cheated borden, and it just shws you are the biased one if you cant admit he refused to call that shot clock violation on purpose in 15.

one thing to complain and another to complain and offer solotions like ky fans have been hollerin about since 15. last night in the cfb championship game there was a ref with the announcers, nba has the same thing. You wouldnt like that idea borden just like you dont like the idea of refs having to talk to the press if they request it following games. Like you said to a ky fan become a ref, theres plenty of money to be made.

higgins says he is as important as the players and coaches, he likes the spotlight, so why not give cbb refs more? they can work with the announcing crew in the tourney games and explain their colleaugues calls.

You seem to think the refs cheated to help ky, lets put and end to cheating by refs I say.

Well, Borden is pissed off because he has to sleep with one. Takes it out on us.
 
It was a bad (no) call. College officiating is the poorest of any of the major sports (NBA, NFL, NCAAF...), and its not even close IMO. I don't watch enough MLB, but I'm sure they are better at it too.

Dude...I'm not pissed. UK won. Wife is happy. Why would I be pissed? I was just having some fun.

Happy wife= Happy life.
 
Laughing Just read through the last few pages. Good to know some people never change.
 
Use to be. No longer drink. Been sober 3 years in May.:D
Good for you. Seriously.

I'm still giddy that UK beat a team, that is only two weeks out from being top 5, with only 7 scholarship players available.

With only 7 scholarship players, UK out rebounded the second rebounding team in the entire country.

And thanks. Drinking is for some. Wasn;t for me. Took me time to figure that out.

Of course, anyone would have hated that to be a no call for their team, me included. I also hated the two, awful offensive fouls on Gabriel that wiped 4 points off the board.

Regardless, it’s still not a reason to come and gaslight this shit to 10 pages in two hours.

Like a no call in the last two seconds of a home, conference game is going to turn history on its head for hundreds of people who think certain referees don’t like Calipari.

If you want to go try to shout into the void of RR to those that think that every loss is a conspiracy from the refs, do it. This isn’t RR.
 
This thread is active so I'll ask here. What is up with Jimmy Dykes? Thought he was coaching violent cuts somewhere but just saw him on the SEC Network. Seems kind of depressed.

Hogg got an awesome look on that 3 to take the lead in the last minute because Diallo was ball watching, per usual.

Diallo, Richards, and Knox lose their man on every other rotation. Any team that is patient gets a good shot when those guys are on the floor. That’s gotta stop by next month.

Was the women’s coach at Arky, was awful, now back in the booth.

Fortunately, they already placed him with his younger, slightly less annoying version, Sean Farnham.
 
Dude, every loss refs are mentioned as a major component. Every loss. I’ve talked shit on refs. But it’s every time. Every poster......no. But it’s def enough for random fans to notice.

Cool. Nobody mentioned anything about any specific call or the whistle being bad ITT when you two brought it up. But again, like every UK thread, the same posters come in to talk about it. If you aren't responding to the ones who are complaining when it's happening, you're derailing a thread with the same shitposts when it's not happening, like you two did in this thread.


Probably b/c you guys bitch about everey single official. Especially when losing. Funny we don't see this when UK is winning, or wins.

Neither one of those things happened. I made a statement about what happened in the game, a statement much like saying something as simple "Doug Shows called a travel".... I said Shows tried to bait Cal into a tech (which he did), then I called him a chode for it. Nowhere did I complain about the call or what it should have been. But you (I'll be specific and mention the appropriate people and not lump people into one group like you) can't help yourself to complain about the same thing in every UK thread, even when it's nowhere to be found. Basically both of your responses are saying "it's ok we accused you of complaining about officiating even though you actually didn't, because sometimes UK fans do blame and complain about refs".

Once again, great great take and it totally excuses both of your atrocious shitposts that there was no need for.... And you complained about the officiating later ITT. LMAO why am I not surprised. Whatever, keep doing you man.




GG Aggies, we escaped. I 100% expect an L in the rematch. Good luck the rest of the way. Hope you guys get healthy soon.

Nope.... I'm wondering if Davis could have gotten to the ball without the hold. A no call based on that maybe. Could be that or the ref just didn't see it.

Go to the 2:24 mark and you be the judge... I don't think he could of reeled it in...

I don't think there was really an advantage in this one. I don't think the whistle was lopsided.

A&M comes in and plays us physical every year. Davis typically gets away with all kinds of stuff in the paint and this game was no different.

Plus Gabriel was victimized by at least 2 bad calls during the course of the game. Only fair they blew one in his favor to even it out.

I don't know. I've kind of felt like conference officiating crews have allowed other teams to dictate how the games are going to be called against us on a pretty consistent basis and UK is the ones that have to adjust game to game.

So many coaches that play us tough or beat us over the years cite playing "physical" as a game plan. I think college officials give the less talented teams the benefit of the doubt in those scenarios. It's like they allow them more leeway for physical play because they know the less talented team is at a disadvantage in a finesse sport.

We could also call the Gabriel no call karma for the bs tech on Humphries a few years ago.

Initially I wasn't so upset about that but I've seen guys slam the ball in a similar or worse manner at least a dozen times since then and not a single tech called for it. Infuriating. We've been owed one against A&M ever since. Got it tonight I suppose.
 
I still really want to see A&M and Duke in the tourney. Tyler Davis and Robert Williams against Wendell Carter and Marvin Bagley would be appointment television. A&M might not make it there at this point though.
 
Yeah I know. Tell me about it. I mean remember when they(IU fans) threatened an official, and the FBI got involved? That shit was crazy wasn't it? I think there's a lawsuit going on now b/c of it.

Thanks. We finally agree on something.
