I was getting ready to say did not think there was any love between Cincy and Cleveland. Two different cities. Are people from Cincy mostly Pacers fans?
New jazz fan here!
- Thread starter CincyJazz
- Start date
Born and raised in Northern Kentucky! (Right across the river from Cincy). Huge UK Wildcat fan! A lot of folks jumped on the bandwagon last year, but I've been a fan for all my life. Watched 'em go thru probation, cried when Christian Laetneer hit that miracle shot, was in college for the two title runs in 96 & 98!
Love Coach Cal's energy and recruiting.....just hoping he stays above board on everything!
Right! I work with a couple guys who have season tix for the Pacers.
Nobody in Cincy would bring themselves to root for Cleveland in anything! (Cleveland is about 4 hours away also. Indy about hour and a half).
Still some lingering Sacramento Kings fans, due to the fact that they used to be the Cincinnati Royals. Mostly, this is a college sports town. Cincinnati, Xavier, Dayton, University of Kentucky, Butler, Louisville, Wright State, Indiana U., Miami Ohio, Ohio State, etc. - all within 2 or 3 hour radius. Lots of alum running around these parts!
Suspected that might be the case. I'm "wromanp7" on catspause ... look me up!

So how long 'til Calipari and his staff get caught violating NCAA rules?
FAIL - same old tired schtik. Our coach puts guys in the NBA, every year, better than the rest. His resume recruits.

Actually I'm an east coast man and a MSU fan, ya know a program who's classy and as successful as any other based on great coaching and a resume.
Actually, I really admire MSU's program and am a fan of Tom Izzo. He builds tough, hard-nosed teams.
Still - UK, #1 in all-time wins! 7 National Titles! We didn't start playing basketball when Cal showed up.
Truth here. I know Calipari is hated by all not UK. Truth here. I hated Calipari pre-UK. Truth is Calipari owns recruiting, UK is under the microscope of EVERYONE and couldn't get away with anything if we wanted to. UK fans truly hold Izzo in very high regard, as deserved. Calipari will never be liked or respected as Izzo, but he does get the job done, period.
The hate is tiring, I feel bad for our coach. No, I'm not naive, anything but ..
Calipari has letters from the NCAA clearing him 100% in BOTH cases. Whatever though sis, it's a Jazz board and I'll just try to keep being a UK fan to myself from now on.
Not.

Stop it. We don't use facts around here.

Coach Rupp was such a class act too.
Actually it's worse than that. Rupp actually tried to recruit blacks but the boosters (state) wouldn't allow it. Wish it was one guy, but it was many.
Kinda like 1978 for the 'state' of Utah, huh?
