seriously.

I am disappointed in both Dalamon and UGLI.

These guys I consider friends and a bit beyond obnoxious trolling. I would be pulling for the Utes or Oilers in reverse. No doubt. Just as I did during the last Ute game, or even for Michigan when bluenote was a passing thing on this board.

I admit it seems juvenile that the trolling persists even when I assume (maybe wrongfully) these guys know how much this mean to me. A lot.

I guess I am disappointed based on how I would be reacting. Guarantee.. roles reversed, I would be a bandwagon friend with my true friends.

so call the wahbulance.. see if I care.

Sorry bro, really not tryin to be a douche.

In my defense...

1) your team is one of the most successful teams in sports history. You've won like 19 times and you kind of expect to every year. This is not a once in a lifetime thing for you, it's like an every other year thing. You are the Yankees/ Lakers.

2) I am 100% assuming that uk will win it all. Like, it's sort of a foregone conclusion. I already have the congratulatory text typed out ready to send your way.

3) I legitimately hate uk more than any team outside of byu. I'm not trolling you, I forrealz hate them, and for legit reasons obviously. Probly the only way I ever would not hate uk is if John Calipari adopts me or smthng.

4) The Oilers? In the Playoffs?? Cmon bro.

My rule is that I trash talk before games, but never ever during the game to someone who truly cares about their team, and never in a million years do I trash talk a true fan after their team loses (unless it's byu fans. They do not count).

For you I will extend my no trash talk policy to the remainder of your teams season so you can better enjoy the rest of their run. That is the best I can do for you at this time :)

PS: one of my best friends here in CA is from KY, use to be a ball boy at uk games as a kid, is one of the nicest/coolest people I have ever met, and cannot for the life of him understand why I am rooting against his team. He's from a really small town and he has that "awww shucks, ain't the cats just the goll darned greatest?" thing goin on. I think it's possible I'm the first person he has met that doesn't like his team lol.
 
If I was emotionally invested in any of the teams playing yesterday, that would have brought me close to a heart attack.

Thanks a ton.. All class.

Fwiw, I never once expected anyone to really like my team.. Just more of a happy for friends when their team wins.. Even when we hate the team. <3
 
I think if I had watched this game live and seen Andrew Harrison on the court for the last play, my stomach would have started doing weird painful contractions. Then during that drive that might have intensified into a real urge to puke, fulminated into pulling my hairs out when he pulled up unbalanced. The whistle would have been a short relief that would have turned quickly into shaking and freezing while awaiting the foul shots.

It always are the guys I least want to "win the game" that prove me wrong...

Agreed.. except when Andrew was going to the line I knew he would make them. He and AAron have been clutch the last two tourneys.
It is a big relief having guys like Andrew, Aaron, Booker, and Towns in late game situations to be on the foul line.

(Towns is hitting 90% since beginning of conference play - 89.1%, actually)
 
Wow..

6 Wisconsin players shot at least one 3 ball yesterday and ALL of them shot at least 50% from 3 for the game.

12-18 total.

Yikes...

Look brudda, if you were a booster of some random team like Wisconsin, I'd be rooting hard for you.


Unfortunately, i'm a Commie at heart. I don't like having one team dominate an entire sport. U going 40-0 represents everything I hate about sports and life, and that goes deeper than my friendship with you. It's how the cookie crumbles.

If the Utes had 8 championships and were going for 9 and they were 38-0 you bet your *** I'd be going hard against them. Unless I was a Ute fan, or something.

Lol at rooting against somebody for being successful. Of all the reasons to dislike UK, this is one of the worst! Life ain't fair young buck, that's just how the cookie crumbles. Try to keep your morals while succeeding, but don't hate those that do succeed!
 
I'll be honest with you guys! I don't want UK to win! I think they will win of course, because they are clearly the most talented team on the court every time they play...not necessarily the best coached, but definitely the most talented!

The reason I don't want them to win is because of their fans! Not really you Dr. Jones, you're obviously biased because you're a fan, just like any other one of us would be, but some of the UK fans are just terrible. Mainly the bandwagon ones. It's the same reason I didn't like the Heat, but actually liked most of their players (sans Wade, well early Wade was awesome, old Wade is a bitch!). I just don't like the fans that much! Now some of you guys are definitely taking this a bit too seriously, you're friends, don't let a basketball game ruin that!

Also probably the most common. Notice how ppl don't give a **** to hate the Lakers anymore now that they're among the biggest jokes in the NBA? Note how Dr. Jones says he "hates" UCLA, but never mentions why?? This is most likely the reason why. We all hate the best-- either because we want to be the best ourselves, or because we live to see the underdog prevail.

Since I don't have a dog in the fight of the realm of NCAA athletics, I enjoy parity, and I live to see the underdog prevail.
 
^i respect that, but I think UK has fewer bandwagon friends than any team I know. It's the actual fans that suck.

We don't "all" hate the best. I can want to be the best, but still want everybody else to succeed. Some people want other people to do worse so they can be the best, some people want themselves to do better so they can be the best. Parity is nice and all, but it's not realistic, nor will it ever be. But I guess if you want every team to have a .500 record, then that's cool (not really)!
 
And lulz at acting like working 60 hours a week is some astronomical number! It's impressive no doubt, and good for your brother for doing that, but it's not that uncommon. As a high schooler in the summers I was working 70-100 hours a week so that I wouldn't have to work during school. You do what you have to so that you can do what you want, and you be thankful for the opportunity to do so, because it isn't guaranteed! Now lets get back to basketball!!!

Bro, srs?

I don't care if a team goes 40-0-- I just care if the team going 40-0 is a team that's been good since the freaking 30s or some ****, a team that'll probably win 5 championships in the next 10 years, and a team with among the most dislikable coaches I've yet encountered. I woulda been down with the Utes or the Badgers sign 40-0 this season. Very down.

Well you've completely missed the point of my posts. You're a moron if all you got from those posts is "ya we are where we are because of the astronomical amount of hours we work".

Like I said, some people wanna be better than the best while they're successful, some people wanna be better than the best by making the best worse. I think it's awesome what Kentucky is doing, it's freaking historic! I don't like their fans (or the Harrisons), but that team is one hell of a team...whether they've been good for 50 years or 2 years doesn't make a difference.
