It dont matter, you could throw in the 100% blind high school championship, Pee Wee League Championship, Flag Football Championship and Kentucky still not only won't win them they would not even make their respective playoffsOriginally Posted by artcarney_agr

I don't think Joker will be around for 2-3 more years. He's losing a lot of fan base and if he can't produce more than 6 wins with last year's team which had some pretty good talent I just don't think he can get the job done. I could be way off base. I don't think Kentucky will ever be a national championship contender but it would be fun to have some 8 and 9 win seasons and a shot at some decent bowl games.

It amazes me how quickly UK fans turn on their coach. 1 full season and a couple games into the next one, and he's already on the gallows.....I thought Joker was the next big thing for UK with him being an alumni, a born Kentuckian, the first African-American football coach at UK, etc...

Did the same conversation come about the third year of Kragthorp. UofL fans need to give him a chance. Now the shoe is on the other foot and after one game. "The we need a new coach begins."

Let Calapari loose a couple to Louisville wand watch the fur fly. They would be ready to string him ip I guarantee it.

This will always be a major difference between the two schools. Calipari loses a couple to Louisville he is shown the door but Pitino could lose to Kentucky for the rest of his life and all is well in Cardinal-Land. It is never going to change, Perfection is Expected at Kentucky but being Mediocre is ok with Louisville.

Oh please Woody you know enough about sports to know that is bull. That game means nothing but to the fans. It's not a conference game and it has no bearing at where you end up in March really. The UK faithful is just that rabid, where Louisville fans...''For the most part'' try to keep it real...

Exactly. It's not about settling for mediocrity, it's about having realistic expectations. Some years Louisville has great talent in the game, and then in other years the talent just wasn't found....it's not so much the coach's fault, he does the best with what he has to work with.
As for Kragthorpe, he was handed a locker room full of problems, and did the best with what he had to work with. Someone had to clean up the mess, and he got paid to do just that and then went on his way after it was all said and done. He basically was a filler until a better coach could be found.

So called "Diehard" Louisville fans continue to amaze me at how some love standing on the fence. So you are saying Louisville fans "keep it real". Louisville fans don't become "fanatical" about their team getting to the Final Four and rub it into the face of UK fans? Louisville fans don't become "fanatical" when UCONN did what Louisville could not do lady year, beat Kentucky? Louisville fans don't become "fanatical" when West Virginia beat Kentucky in the Elite 8 a couple of years ago? Come on fellas, Diehard Louisville and Kentucky fans are no different. I have 2 favorite teams, Kentucky and anybody playing Louisville (except Indiana then I have 1 favorite team). Louisville fans are the same way except they want people to think they are "being REAL" in that they support Kentucky in any game they are not playing Louisville. Real fanatics can't have it both ways. Duke and UNC don't support one another, Alabama and Auburn don't support one another, Florida and Florida State don't support one another, USC and UCLA don't support one another AND Kentucky and Louisville don't support one another. The difference in this state is UK fans are fanatical all the time and Louisville fans are closet fanatics. They bring out their car flags and T shirts when all is going well but are first to hang them in the closet when times are tough. I guess the level of support is based on the level of expectation or results. That is another difference between UK and UofL

What in the world?? I don't think anyone was even talking about that aspect of it.......
I can't stand UK fans because they think they are so righteous in all that they do, like their poopy don't stink, that every game is heralded as a battle of good versus evil, and don't quite seem to understand that UK is a school, not a state.....I love the state of Kentucky, but not the University of Kentucky or it's athletic fans........
...and for the record, I cheered for UCONN after Louisville lost to them in the Big East tournament....it was clear from that point on who the best team was last year.

I don't think all UK fans are the same, nor do I think all Uof L fans are the same. Some take it to extremes and others keep it real. I'm not on the suicide hotline after Louisville looses but I know some UK fans I wonder about that might be as I do some Cards fans as well. Here is an example of two UK fans on this very site that I think is the epitomy of what I'm referring to.
Splitshot aka Brian Q is a diehard UK fan......but he also calls it like it is without the sugar coat and Hate speeches. He can talk about the games and get down to brass tacks without slinging hate mud.
You Woody are the other side, you just did it to yourself, You love Kentucky and anybody that is playing Louisville. Typical UK fan Hate garbage.
When Kentucky is playing Duke I dang sure don't pull for Duke, Why would I do that?
Yes I hate Calapari I have made that clear, I've hated him at UMass, Memphis and now here but that doesn't mean I hate the kids, school or program. Keep telling yourself that Louisville fans are as bad as UK fans but the country will disagree. We don't hold up newspapers and BOO 18 year old kids at the Yum and we didnt do it at Freedom Hall either.
