To say that there is not a small minority of UK fans who will never approve of Tubby because he is an African American is naive in my opinion. Do I think that is the reason why a majority of the "LOD" doesn't like Tubby? No. However, in my estimation a small number of Kentucky fans do hate Tubby because he is black. I would say that it's probably around 3-5% of the people who dislike Tubby, however, I still believe it is out there. I've encountered it. Those people are bigotted fools who don't deserve the title of being a UK fan. Most of the LOD just don't like Tubby's offense or recruiting. I don't think they're racist. But I do think they're crazy.

But I do think they're crazy. Count me in the "crazy group" that doesn't like Tubby Ball, a boring System, that leads to closer wins than necessary, some loses in the Big Dance that come too early (and we SHOULD win) and, yes, ineffective overall recruiting opportunities in that Tubby Ball does not appeal to too many top recruits. BTW. I agree with Kid in his statement "However, in my estimation a small number of Kentucky fans do hate Tubby because he is black. I would say that it's probably around 3-5% of the people who dislike Tubby, however, I still believe it is out there. I've encountered it.

Well, I am not sure where I might fall in your post, all thought I do think your post is racist, bigot, and completely unexperienced, childish and completely without knowledge. Please complete a list of things that the rest of us can and cannot say and talk about on this board so everyone may appease you. I bow to your lordship.

TB, I'm not sure what I said that was racist, bigotted, or childish. Nor did I claim anyone needed to appease me. I posted that I thought a small number of people were racists, but said that most just didn't agree with Tubby's coaching philosophies and jokingly said they were crazy. But I didn't call anyone names nor did I act like a child. Care to explain why you said that?

Of course there are some people who don't like having a black coach. There are also some people who want him to be coach because he is black. Neither one will admit this, but most real fans who criticize just don't like Tubby ball. They don't like the fact that uk is no longer king of the hill and have little prospects of being there with thudby. It is getting old to have to repeat the same battle cry year after year, "just wait till next year." And then having it not happen next year. Make all the excuses you want, but Tubby has let the program slip and it will remain in the rut he has put them in until he leaves.
Some say give him more time, he has had enough time and it is time to start thinking about the uk bball program instead of defending Tubby all the time. Kinda like a dog chasing his tail, going no where fast with Tubby.

"have little prospects of being there with thudby"
I'd say the having the best win-loss % of any other the last 3 years, the #1 recruiting class last year and being 1 point from a FF in regulation/the 1st OT game in this year's NCAA would be a counter to your claim, IMO
BTW, IMO, Ex UK fans were never really UK fans to begin with....
Keep ;D

Hey not one time did I post that the Maniacs which is what I post if I'm talking about this board has or had racist. I'm saying society as a whole. Hey and where did I learn and see racism growing up in Louisville? Adults 20+ years older than me so , I'm 41 so that puts that generation in their late 50's+. Hey the more I think on this subject the more I want to post. But maybe it needs to go to the Hot Tub. ED

That's like me saying that my cousin who is 20 years younger than me, while we were growing up in Louisville, was a little punk and therefore, all of those approx 40 years old today are are punks. Doesn't really make sense does it Ed?

Doesn't really make sense does it Ed? Sure it does. But as I don't see out of your eyes you don't see out of mine. Thats why this is "OUR" opinion. And in my opinion I'm right. Just as you are right in yours. But see I really believe that do you. Most people from the Korea generation doesn't see eye to eye with the people from the Vietnam. You get your opinions as you grow up. I assume you are 15+ older so you didn't "Grow up" in my generation as I didn't grow up with Kids and his views are alot different than mine as they are suppose to. Thats why they have a name for it, it is the Generation Gap!! It is real and it is the truth. Most groups with a 10 year difference in age will not think the same. Learned that in H.S. Sociology. And Golf to clarify I didn't post that anyone on this board is or was a racist. Because I never seen anyone being racist on this or any other UK message board. Thought I need to clarify that. ED
