Well, clearly what a chunk of the fan base has been doing has not been working.  Blindly following the football program and going to the games regardless of who is hired and showing full support for it.  UK had been doing that for the past 30 years or so and where did it get the program? 

It was not till recently that the fans really started to get aggravated with how the university was running the football program and eventually some of the fans finally took a stand.

If you think for one second that UK would have hired a coach of Stoop's caliber with Commonwealth Stadium being full and nobody voicing any complaints about the direction of the program then your being naive.

I usually don't get caught up with stupid remarks but yours meets the criteria.  For one, I bet you don't even have tickets to go to a game,  probably you have never been to a game so I get tired of the criticisms that because I care, buy tickets, and attend games that I hurt the program. Honestly whiney butts like you hurt the program, and its fans like you, who will be down on Stoops sometime next year,  cannot and will not ever be happy.  Like some stupid basketball fans who say that they are SO disappointed in the basketball program this year AFTER winning the National Championship, so to them and you, find a new team and stay away,  this program will survive without all of your stupid comments.

I never said that I was unhappy with the bball team.  There are some things about the team that I would like to be better but I think over time given the talent on the team that they can be competitive come tourney time.  For the most part I'm content with Cal bringing in top several top 10 recruits on an annual basis.  However, I was seldom happy during the Tubby years. 

Ever since Stoops has been hired, I have expressed nothing but optimism so.....

I never said you were the basketball fan,  it was just a comparsion with football.  Hey I know you are unhappy but don't bash me for wanting to be a fan of this program. Heck, I have not been happy either,  I just don't agree with some fans who think bringing the program to its knees,  is the only way to improve it.  And NO,  I don't think your actions were 100% responsible for hiring Stoops.

At the end of the day the change was finally made but not before massive fans took action against the school.  UK had no desire to improve the football program what so ever as long as money was coming in as there is more than enough proof based on their actions in past 50 years with football related decisions.  I have always been a fan but some serious changes needed to be made with this program.

You are correct, but we are not done as a fanbase yet.  Our AD thinks he has gotten away without having to do updates upgrades to facilities again.  Our fanbase and if we can get the media on board, to keep the pressure on him to get this done.  Think about it, 13 years and nothing more than pipesealing at Commonwealth Stadium. Something he is real proud of! 

Go back to the introduction of Mark Stoops as our HC.  Two media members posed questions to Mitch Barnhart over facility upgrades, the first one he managed to dodge, the second questioner pinned him down with a very direct question and he had to answer it, and it was the lamest answer ever. I've been working on it for 10 plus years, still working on the plan to get it right etc etc.

What is worse our new president for UK could have made a splash with the UK football fanbase and talked about renovations and upgrades for football and in his opening statement, what does he talk about....we need to improve on education. Go back and watch it.  Very disappointing out of them. More so in the President of the University. I expected it from the AD, wasn't quite sure out of the President. Quite frankly, I doubt we will ever get much support from his office as long as he is in it.
