Big Blue Nation having a very normal Tuesday

The Kentucky board is an insane asylum. Good reminder of how frickin nuts people are

To be fair, more often than not the same can be said about this board.

Parade on Saturday and plenty of people outside celebrating. Plus it's one pic with no context in the first post - was that before the celebration? After?

Newton was put on the Huskies of Honor and you can tell the crowd was relatively small. I don't think that means much, but I do think Kentucky's crowd would have been larger. But they are the biggest fanbase in the country and haven't won in over a decade.
 
Kentucky fans are the most delusional people on the planet. One championship in the last 25 years and they still think they are the best college team in America. They make me want to vomit.

Those abject Imbeciles really believe their “insiders” are negating through social media for their next coach….

Hell, if I’m Drew I don’t even TALK to them unless they start out at the 15 million per year number they are tossing around.

And Hurley…..ask for 25 million a year, for 10 years, guaranteed. You will more than be able to pay for the 24 hour armed guards you will need when you don’t win In year one for those lunatics.

I would never begrudge him that kind of generational wealth, but damn…..it will come at a cost.

Cal's own promises of multiple championships when he was hired has fed into their delusions. He's poisoned the well for himself and future hires.
 
If you’re a Kentucky fan, thinking your blue blood history, plus facilities and access to donors already makes you the top destination AND then you offer so much money as to make someone the highest paid coach in college sports (football included) AND they still turn you down…

doesn’t that start to make you reevaluate where you actually sit in terms of desirability and program status?

I mean if your history, facilities AND money aren’t enough…
 
so happy you boys are getting a small taste of the bbn.

when we played uk in the tournament a while ago, one of our players got a tech against them and bbn harassed him with death threats on facebook.

Do fans realize this stuff is toxic? If there's that much pressure to win constantly, is it worth it? I think I'd rather coach at Baylor. It's not like you can't win there

He's won there, but I do think there's a ceiling. Drew started working transfers before a lot of other teams and won with Mitchell (Auburn), Teague (UNC-Asheville), and Flagler (Presbyterian) among others. Others have caught up a bit once it was immediate gratification, and I think they're unlikely to win another title. They sort of max out as a dangerous 3-seed, and that's with a great coach like Drew.
 
Kentucky fans have no clue how close they are to becoming Indiana.


They wanted to throw Calipari out but they still want to brag about all the nba players they have each year even if they hate when they lose to Oral Roberts or Oakland.

Now Oats turns you down. Hurley says nope. Drew likes his life at a private Baptist college in Texas where he can do whatever he wants with no outside pressure...

Now where do you go? Mark Pope? Come on down. Welcome to becoming Indiana Basketball big blue nation.


Say whatever you want about Calipari but his teams (win or lose) are always relevant. The worst thing you can become is an after thought and Kentucky is a lot closer to that with the wrong hire than any of their fans are willing to admit.
 
They hired Cal when he needed to escape a bad NBA situation. To a lesser extent Pitino took the job for the same reason. The piles of $$ worked in those situations, but Pitino got out as soon as possible. Dan Hurley is not in the same situation. Billy Donovan is sort of in a similar situation but certainly not as bad as Cal was in. Not sure what Drew's motivation would be. Maybe he feels he's plateaued at Baylor.

Kentucky has success hiring coaches who are desperate. Dan Hurley is not deperate by any means.

Cal is lazy and passed his prime.... first sign of how serious Cal is about winning will be his staff. Does he bring his guys from Kentucky? He'd be an idiot to do so. This should be an opportunity to cut ties with his old staff who are also fat and lazy.

Didn’t the school limit the number of students able to watch at Gampel to 6700 or so?

I'm hearing that now, so that's an important piece of information.

We were still wildly outnumbered in Pheonix.

I remember reading he was never the same after the loss to Wisconsin. Around that time one of his go-to assistants also left.

It's a hard pill to swallow for some fans but we're not on that that elite tier of fan bases and may never be. Purdue is a massive public university with a wealthy alumuni and a massive endowment (probably something close to 8-10x Uconns). They're also basketball starved on the national stage from a state thats #1 in basketball obsessed culture. Unless the university suddenly picks up and builds a massive campus for 30k undergrads in Hartford we'll never have the reach of some of these other fan bases.
