dude, Im a diehard Alabama football fan. And a diehard (Eddie Sutton years-up) Arkansas basketball fan. Now, dont get me wrong, I love to see UK doing well in every sport they play. I root for the football Cats every game except for when they play the Tide, and the basketball Cats every game they play except when they play the Hogs, and Im here to tell you, that this doesnt surprise me one single bit. The UK basketball fans are at the very minimum, equal to the Bama football fans, if not worse. Every year, unrealistic expectations somehow get RAISED when the season starts. And the first time they lose, the honeymoons over, reality sets in, and its no longer fun. Beating Pikeville and Seattle, then screaming "bring on the Heels! Bring on the Cards!", yatty yatty yatta, but no one wants to accept, that you beat Pikeville and Seattle, lol..Gillispie doesnt have world beaters wearing blue and white. He brought in a solid recruiting class, but people dont realize, THEY'RE STILL FRESHMEN. I was as shocked as anyone about that loss last night, but it was the second game of a season, and people are already conceding the entire season as a failure. Gillispie will learn. He wants to do well. He wants to win, and he'll figure it out. But just wait. I cant wait until the Cats beat either UNC, Indiana, Louisville, or some other rival, and all of this "fire Billy! Bring back Tubby!" garbage will subside and Gillispie will be the greatest coach since Adolph Rupp. Your not gonna win the national championship in the first year. Rick Pitino, the man a lot of UK fans consider the lost twin brother of Jesus, went 14-14 his first year, losing to Southwest Louisiana State in the UKIT. It will be an up and down team this year, theyll look great at times, and theyll look like they did last night, but give the man time, he'll be alright..
