:please: HELP ME

[SIZE=4]I was an avid University of Kentucky Basketball fan, but based on the number of threads and posts that I have seen on Bluegrass Rivals, it appears that I need to look for a new team to cheer for. My OLD favorite team has hit rock-bottom, and appears to have fallen off the face of the Basketball World. It saddens me because of how much enjoyment and pride that I have carried for that team over the years.

I bring a lot of love and commitment to a deserving team, and have shown a loyalty to stay strong even during the bleakest of times. I will defend my new favorite team and will be very forgiving to those fans who may not share my same devotion. I will be in it for the long hall, and not expect short-term solutions that may not meet with my approval.

I can expect that my new favorite coach may make decisions that are contrary to what I feel he should have done, but I will be very patient and not begrudge his Multi-Million dollar contract. Though I will have high expectations for my new favorite players, I will realize that each are Student Athletes first and none are being paid for their performances yet. They may disappoint me at various times, but I will be very understanding that the are not purposefully trying to make me lose hours of sleep after a crushing defeat at the hands of an unworthy opponent.

I am in need of this new team very soon (before Tuesday March 17th), so please reply to me who I can call my new "Favorite Team". All of your thoughts and suggestions will be very much appreciated.

Thank you,

some of us don't like to tolerate taking steps backward. There is no reason why this team couldn't or better yet shouldn't be about 23-7, NCAA bound.. Never should have lost to VMI, Vanderbilt, one of the SC games, or Georgia.. A team should continue to get better. This one doesn't, it keeps getting worse. You guys who are defending Coach Gillispie, are beating down these players. So don't say your this great big blue fan. We might not have the talent to win it all, or to compete with Carolina, Pitt, UConn, and such. But these boys are good enough to win the SEC. We have some good players, and 2 awesome ones. A good coach could use what he has, and make the best of it, Billy just hasn't. And if you say he has, thats a slap in the face to the players, because you are saying that they suck that bad, and they dont. You guy act like we had absolutely nothing here when Billy came. To hear you guys tell it, its like we just started a basketball team. Remember, Tubby only lost 10 games @ Rupp his whole career at UK. With those sucky players everyone talks about. I'm not saying he shouldn't be gone, just that we shouldn't have hired a guy who wasn't even on the same level.
