I think his final picture is a lot more anger-inducing than Calipari’s. It’ll be interesting to see how much of a factor that is to the voters.

I have been living in Savannah for 5 years whats up with this Kroger commercial does anyone have a copy posted

It filled me with hate. Seeing Krag’s picture on the front of the CJ just made me sad. Plus his wife is sick which kind of sucks for him. Cal gets the no-sympathy vote.

Because as a UK fan, it was not cool for him to leave and let the Cards get the home run hire with Charlie Strong.

He did more damage to UL athletics in three short years than squid could ever do.

Score:
Krag – 3 years of suckage (last year being the worst by far)

Squid – 1 game lost to UK and 1 recruit lost (you know who it is)

For making us a national laughingstock where we were just beginning to gain the smallest modicum of national respect, I vote for Steve “clusterfuckworm” Kragthorpe.

What’s not to hate. I go with greaseball.

It’s fun to jab Con-Man Cal for obvious reasons, but speaking from a UofL fan perspective, I’m going with the guy who milked this city for three years and failed to deliver and all promises, ruining the football program that had finally just gotten on the map. Krag wins this battle, hands down.

Hail Coach Strong!

but out of shear amount of interaction Krags has to win this one. We faced Cal once, we faced Krags many many many times last year.

And besides, we know Cal’s has never won a tournament of anything when UofL was involved, why should we be the one’s to change that?

for the first time.

I drastically underestimated the potency of Krag1N1.

how is losing to uk and cal, losing a recruit, starting sosa and smith, and not covering a non-sport related trial make pitino a bad coach or bad for louisville …lol dude i support uk and cal but have learned that if the gracious louisville fans who run this site let uk and other fans speak on it then maybe you should over look the uk bashing or at least counter it with intelligent comments, this ricky 3 stacks and sypher stuff is silly… i to took this krag vs cal or wall dance vs cuz to heart art first .. BUT you have to understand this is a CARDS FANS SITE so you will get anti-uk and cal threads so either counter it with facts and truths or make a fake name to hide who you are like a coward and post garbage.. please dont be a uk fan.. if you are its pricks like you who give us a bad name… but when your fanbase is as big as uk you will have more shit fans then most

In my experience, a significantly greater percentage of UK fans are jerks than the average. I moved some years ago to Virginia, and here in ACC country I find a group of people who remind me of UK fans back home. They root for Duke, and they think they’re entitled to their arrogance.

Present company excluded, of course. Your posts have been mostly thoughtful and respectful, and I know a few other UK fans who are nice enough folks. One of them went with me to Indianapolis in 1980 and rooted for the Cards against UCLA. He later sat in my living room and cheered for the 1986 team in those finals. But far too many of the UK fans I know, even those who I consider friends, send me trash talk and Pitino-Sypher jokes and act like buffoons and gloaters and sore losers. On any other subject, they talk rationally and act like decent human beings – but something about rooting for the Cats turns them into jackasses. I generally don’t bring up the subject of sports with them(*), but they just can’t seem to help themselves. All they want to do is say ugly things about Louisville – they don’t even praise their own team, they just want to run ours down.

*I do plan to make one exception. I have saved a particularly ugly email from one UK fan which, among other things, was especially derogatory towards the Louisville football team. I ignored it when it was sent, but if things go as I hope they will on September 4, I’m going to send it back to the guy who sent it to me; my only reply will be maniacal laughter.)

P. S. For the record, I hate Christian Laettner and think he should have been ejected for The Stomp. UK deserved that championship.
