The House of Blue

Thanks for dispelling that. I'm a little tired of people with no info trying to somehow read between the lines and send our recruits to other programs because they have a "feeling."

I don't want to put words in anyone elses mouth, but when I see a positive post about an exciting recruit, I very well may remain silent, but I am personally excited about the chance of getting him, and to my own detriment, actually believe other posters who make it seem like we have a great chance. However, time after time, those hopes that build up inside of me end up being dashed, therefore, causing me to vent the frustration that I have grown up with as a lifelong UK football fan, when they choose another school. (which they do at least 80% of the time and I'm being generous.)

Why would I post about being excited about a posiible recruit when the odds say we are going to miss on him? Not posting about a possible recruit tells you nothing about a particular fans attitude IMSHO. The bottom oine is, those of us that have been UK fans for a really long time know the pattern, and though we hope beyond hope that it will change, it hasn't yet. I promise though, the instant that it does, we will all recognize it, if it actually ever happens. FWIW, we were really close when Brooks left, but still needed a home run to get us over the hump. Didn't happen though.

That's one of the better post I've read in a long time. It's also very true. Which is sad.

I think the irrational versus rational argument is a bit of a reach. When discussing sports its hard to remove emotion so pretty much every post is irrational in some respect. I don't really think any of us are clueless or even wrong to come to the conclusions we draw. There is a little truth in believing Joker is or isn't right for Uk or KY is or isn't improving recruiting. I thinks that's the point. Neither argument is really wrong. I think one thing that is consistent is frustration. Not specifically to Joker but frustration in not getting to the next level of success. I would like to see KY score a higher ranked class, I would like to see 4 star kids pledge to UK on TV but I also know that doesn't mean squat. Kids have to qaulify, stay healthy and perform on the field. I have yet to see anyone hang a recruiting banner. I've also seen KY field a team in the last 5 years good enough to beat the NCs. Twice actually. For the time being I think it's reasonable to at least wait and see what a kid can or can't do on the field. I like what Jeff said that more of these kids at least look a little more like SEC athletes which is a start.

Well Curci paid players so that might have had something to do with it.

Elvis Peacock baby. The ironic thing is he goes to Oklahoma the most blatant rouge program of them all.

One of the Pony Express?
