Finally!

Sweet! Someone wrote an article about UK that I can criticize! And the doucher is from Tennessee! We beat them twice! I am going to rip this chucker a new one! Let's get to it:

Kentucky coach's act wears thin with players, fans


Oh. So he's taking that stance.

The calendar has flipped to March, as in "March Madness."

How long has he been sitting on that lead?

"I'm gonna blow your fucking minds with my first March column. You watch." Also, has anyone ever said, "so, is march madness in reference to soldiers? Or a high school band? What's 'march?'"

And nowhere are they madder than in Kentucky, as in "Kentucky basketball."

I hope the entire column is this infuriating. And I wouldn't say Kentucky fans are mad, so much as annoyed, confused, and fed-up. But that could describe us anytime, really.

'Cats fans were so steamed after Kentucky lost a 73-70 heartbreaker to LSU in Rupp Arena that they lustily booed the officials as they ran off the court. Those fans used to do that after games Kentucky won.

Call me crazy (or stupid), but doesn't the word 'lustily' denote merriment? Regardless, this doesn't make sense. So you're saying, UK fans are so pissed that they booed the refs after a loss, which is different from when they booed the refs after a win? If your point is to say that Kentucky fans are irrational, you fucked it up. Somehow.

They're so mad they don't know where to accurately direct their anger.

According to you, they merrily directed it at the refs.

They should follow Kentucky Coach Billy Gillispie's example. He spent much of his precious press conference time piling on his players.

And speaking in double-negatives. Oh, and cliches. Don't forget that.

Gillispie is about as popular in the Bluegrass these days as anti-smoking advocates.

My buddy Joe is an anti-smoking advocate, and he has like 1500 Facebook friends. So you can go fuck yourself. And contrary to your own beliefs, not every person in KY is associated with the tobacco industry.

This should have read: "...these days as black people."

I don't pretend to know how much longer Kentucky will suffer Gillispie.

Why not? You pretend to know everything else.

Suffice it to say it doesn't appear to be working out for the coach who worked miracles at basketball outposts in El Paso and Texas A&M.

Sweet 16s aren't miracles anywhere but Tennessee, pal.

Gillispie claimed his players weren't smart enough to carry out his directions to switch screens on LSU's game-winning shot, thus leaving Tasmin Mitchell with an open 3-pointer that he buried.

Now, I've not read the quote, but did he say "not smart enough?" They fucked up. That's not his fault (well, not entirely).

LSU's last seven SEC wins have been by less than 10 points. The last time LSU won in Rupp Arena was 1989, when Chris Jackson was making shots from Versailles.


So fuck you, Gillispie!

Kentucky was coming off a crushing 18-point loss at South Carolina. In his postgame radio show, Gillispie took time to throw three Kentucky players under the bus after he was asked a question about Jodie Meeks.

I can't wait to hear all the bus-throwin' fun you're not going to explain!

The guy is losing it.

I agree with this. Would you please support it with something?

Meeks and LSU's Marcus Thornton are frontrunners for SEC Players of the Year. Yet if word I'm getting out of Kentucky is accurate, Meeks and Patrick Patterson are as gone as gone can be after this season plays out.

Question: What does Marcus Thornton have to do with anything?

Question: Why so redundant?

Question: Is that supposed to be 'good as gone?'

Statement: Please be wrong.

Why come back to this dysfunctional circus?

You've yet to describe anything that could elicit the label "dysfunctional circus." A dysfunctional circus would consist of a man-eating chicken banging a bearded lady while pistol-whipping the pizza in a cup guy that drove the other pizza in a cup guy right out of business.

Gillispie has played mind games with a number of players.

And guessed their weights!

His substitution patterns are impossible to decipher.

Noted.

I don't know how 'Cats can get in a doghouse, but that is where Gillispie has banished some of his players.

You know, that's just an expression. They're not really in an actual doghouse. Had that been the case, Gillispie would have been arrested.

Kentucky has won only three of its last nine games.

Oh my god. Seriously? Good lord, I hadn't realized just how bad we'd been.

In a way-below-average year for the SEC, they are 8-6 with games against Georgia and Florida waiting. Imagine what the numbers would be if the SEC had a team other than LSU that was considered a threat to go deep in the NCAA Tournament.

Pretty bad, I'd say. That's a scary point you make, carny-man.

Kentucky teams of Eddie Sutton, Rick Pitino and, yes, Tubby Smith would have run through this league like Patton through the Germans.

Don't disagree.

The NCAA's Ratings Performance Index for Kentucky is 66. ESPN's Joe Lunardi has Kentucky in the tournament and Florida out. Florida is one of his first four teams out. Kentucky goes to Florida Saturday. The winner could get in, the loser out. Heaven forbid Kentucky slips up against Georgia Wednesday at Rupp Arena.

If that happens, Kentuckians will hate Gillispie more than gay people.

Gillispie hasn't endeared himself to Kentucky players or fans. He chooses to point fingers at everyone but himself.

Nothing makes 'Cats fans madder.

I like where your head's at here, but, unfortunately, people are still madly in love with the not-black coach. I wish our fans were madder than they are.

I agree to pretend to like Gilispie if he can deliver 4 more wins before the tourney. Your move Clyde.

I agree with this guys premise. Unfortunately, he never gave any evidence to support his headline other than providing a link to CatsPause, where 51% still seem to be fervent BCG supporters. Just sayin' is all.
