My Rant....UK's "So Called Fans"

We shouldn't lower ourselves to the NIT.

What a bunch of crap. UK has a loud portion of fans that demonstrate all that is wrong with sports.

There is not a thing wrong with having pride or expectations. Gillispie can coach, but he was simply not the man for the job IMO. He simply has not coached long enough at this level to have the experience to lead Kentucky to a national championship.

UK football and basketball are comparable. Brooks was left with a roster depleted of talent by probation. Gillispie was left with very little talent because the greatest fans in the world ran off a really good coach which set the program back at least 3 years. I don't think its fair to judge until there is a team full of talent and not just two players.

Fans where calling for Brooks to be fired after two seasons, but he did have respect from the media. He didn't insult analysis and journalists every chance he had and he not once blamed his players for a loss.

Kentucky has talent. Players like Liggins, Miller, Stevenson, Stewart, and Harris where not rated as top 100 recruits for no reason. Problem is, Gillispie doesn't know how to use their strengths.

And yes, these are two different sports and not very comparable.
