I hate UK even more now!

Recommended Posts

Ok today should have been an easy low key day at work but thanks to a UK fan I will probably drink a few too many beers later. Ok I would have anyway.

So I'm in the office when a regular customer comes in for some fasteners, I'm in industrial sales by the way, and looks at my IU wind shirt and in a somewhat angry tone says that I need to get rid of my shirt. My response is I hope you are not a Kentucky fan. This guy raises his voice and puts his fist in the air and says "yes I support a winner". Ok I'm normally the kind of person who says the customer is always right but hey these we're fighting words. My response was...yeah the best team money can buy right?

We went back and forth a few times and each time I had a smile on my face and this guy got more angry by the second. To make a long story shorter, I let it end when he started telling me what a goofy F*** Crean is on the sideline because this was on the verge of getting out of control.

My take on this whole situation is this UK fan is still so bitter over the Wat shot that it makes him absolutely miserable to see anything IU or interact with an IU fan. This customer is normally pretty cordial and after twenty years in this business this by far the craziest interaction that I have ever had with a customer.

Happy New Year everyone! Go IU!

 

I got 9 stitches from a customer once. Good times.

Had a conversation with a UK fan yesterday who said we need to get rid of crean. I asked, well how good a coach is calipari? He's won, what, 1 championship with all those top notch rosters? If I were a UK fan and didn't know who the players are I cheer for year to year then they better be winning more than 1. Calipari has actually done little with alot of talent.

I can't stand Calipari, he's everything that's wrong with college sports wrapped in a suit.  Let's be real though, in his 5 full seasons at UK he's gone to the Elite 8 4 times, the Final Four 3 times, the title game twice winning one.  Yes he's gotten a crap load of talent, he's also done a hell of a lot.

I got into it with a UK fan on Twitter last night after he posted something about IU cheering an alley-oop. It's hilarious how easy it is to set them off. HoosierRob is right, they should be on top of the world, but a lot of them are paranoid.

 

The best part is his Twitter handle is Save UK which is exactly what someone will have to do once Calipari destroys the program.

I've had arguments with him on Twitter before. I seriously think all he does is argue with IU fans on that account.

I agree and I told this UK fan that I would not trade Crean for Calimoney. Honestly I would not. I want a coach that is capable of doing more with less. Anyone could win with ten all Americans on their team.

I would love to see Kentucky get beat during the regular season but if not how sweet would it be to see them go out in the first round against a Dayton or someone. When Kentucky goes down it should be a national Holliday for us die hard fans of good clean basketball!
