I think he's referring to the Chaminade fan base. They think just because they are the host team in one of the best early season college basketball tournaments, they are owed something.

I normally don't pile on, but, um, what?
Three years ago Auburn doesn't even make the "others receiving votes" category.
See? Bruce Pearl is truly amazing at getting people to dislike him and those around him.
This is a great post regardless of the target. Succinct, insulting on multiple levels, and accurate enough that it cannot be waived away. 10/10.
I said, Auburn fans are climbing the annoying ladder.
Went to a Cincinnati vs Mississippi St tournament game in Rupp many years ago.
Cincinnati fans are by far the worst fan base I’ve ever been around.

No specific fanbase. I've never been to a road game to see what fans are like in that situation though. Every SEC tourney I've been to is 95% UK fans so hard to tell there as well.
The fans I've ran into IRL are pretty normal and friendly. There are some shitty fans here that contibute nothing but the same tired rhetoric every day. You usually find them posting about the team they hate way more than any other topic (including their own team). I have a buffet of fans from several teams (including UK) on ignore. Huge difference in funny trolling/ribbing and insane people having the same annoying arguments in every thread.

I can’t imagine how soul-crushing it must be to be a Misery fan.
IU fans are only a tadddddddd douchier than you’d expect, given their (quite distant) history ... Missouri fans are inexplicably hostile - like the orcs of college basketball.
Sorry, Maryland fans. Your fan base is super aggressive and dicky, way more so than your modest accomplishments would justify. Maybe that’s actually *why* you guys are like that.. because of disappointment and the rest? That’s what I mean by basketball cred... Lack of major accomplishment.

Jesus you’re such a loser. Lack of basketball cred still kills me. You’re a T Shirt Duke fan. You haven’t won anything either.

I like your list and can agree with most. But your list does not include but one SEC team and some of the worst are in that conference because they hate being dominated by the Big Blue.
I lived in North Carolina in the mid-1960's and at that time the UNC and Duke guys were easy to talk to because they had not won shit. I guess it is different now.
Right I'm just in big ten country. I have a positive view on anyone that can talk hoops. There are a lot of t shirt fans now due to the success of those programs, small price to pay
I have been a UT fan my whole life and went to UT. Why would you say something so stupid?
Bert, thanks for showing on cue why UK fans are so irritating.
Old age has caught up with me for sure.
I hope that both of you live long enough so it catches up with you.
Then you will find out that the brain can continue to work. In fact my age gives me a really good view of basketball and how teams have fared over the "ages". I remember when you could not find a Tennessee or Auburn basketball fan. I have been to Tennessee basketball games in Knoxville when there were more Kentucky fans than Tennessee. In fact four years ago we had no Auburn fans on this basketball board that I can recall. I don't even remember Della until the last couple years. Now she claims to be a lifetime basketball fan. I just suppose she did not post.
Auburn and Tennessee fans jump on and off the band wagon all the time. They even build ramps to enter and exit! Laughing
So now to get back to my post: The SEC fans hate Kentucky because the Cats have dominated it for so long. They love to hate UK. The biggest game of their year is when UK comes to town. For many it is the only sell out. It has been that way most of my life.
I can't imagine how irritating it must be to be dominated by one school in basketball. Then UT fans have to worry about Alabama dominating them in football.
It is a tough life but Tennessee fans have to live it!
It is a good thing you're only a UK basketball fan, so you don't have to fret over UT killing y'all on the regular in CFB.
As it is, no one has kicked UK's ass as often as UT and UT has won the lion's share in recent years, so there is that.
Not really one specific fanbase for me- though I can't stand the bandwagon fans...
Glad to see Pitt isn’t on here, even the WVU poster’s ranking didn’t have us.
Then again, you probably need to be relevant for people to dislike you...

The better a team/rival is, and the longer they excel, the easier it is to find reasons to dislike them and their fans.
I am a UK football fan. I just don't brag about a horrible football team, but UK is improving in football. You brag about a horrible UT basketball team and that is the difference.
Just to put things into perspective; I have been to UK road games in Knoxville, Gainesville, Baton Rouge, Tuscaloosa, Athens, Nashville, Columbia, Auburn, Clemson, Norman, Bloomington, Louisville, Oxford and a couple more that don't come instantly to mind.
I have missed out on Missouri, Arkansas and Mississippi State in the SEC.
So I am as much a UK football fan as basketball.
It is those untold years that I have been able to observe sports. I have an advantage.
Now can we discuss the 154 UK wins over Tennessee in basketball?

Am I increasing of decreasing my “basketball cred”? Seriously every 6 months we have this thread and you could have just stuck with the usual bs, but you decided to say “we” dont have any basketball cred. RollLaugh
