Kentucky talk radio will be interesting--certainly not the best way to begin your relationship with UK fan for Billy Clyde. I read on another board (so it must be true) that UK fans were booing the Cats midway through the game.

UK fans did indeed boo as the team went into the lockerroom at halftime. They fired up the boo brigade again at the end of the game. I'm certainly biased on this topic but the UK fans are without a doubt the most unreasonable and insane fanbase in all of sports. On the UK message boards this morning they even had a debate as to whether or not BG intentionally threw the game to help him get buy-in from the team the rest of the season. :lol:

I said all along that UK was ranked to start the year on reputation only. They just don't have the horses there to run with the elite.

Before passing judgement on UK I think you need to see how they do against Liberty.
A big home win againsts the Flames could put them right back on track.

BCG will right the ship there. I don't doubt it. However, if I am wrong, I won't be dissapointed whatsoever.

If one UK poster is correct with his "inside information" BCG won't have time to right the ship. You see a buyout of BCG's contract is already in the works and Billy Donovan has contacted the powers that be in Lexington and told them it was a mistake to say no to them previously and he won't make the same mistake again.
