How do all the negative FB comments effect recruiting?

  • NashvilleCat197 said...

    Ok but, we are talking the UK fan base in this thread. It stands to reason that if the basketball fan base has a strong positive impact then the opposite can be true also. I hope that all the virtiol here does not make it out to recruits but you know this stuff gets read by people that are not UK fans. If I were recruiting against UK I would certainly bring it up. Hopefully it does not have an impact. If the fans here would try to express their angst in possibly a different way it could possibly be helpful to the team. Afterall what does it accomplish to be negative.

    What does it accomplish to enable the current policies and schemes by always being positive and supporting poor play?
    It endorses the product on the field and in case you havent noticed-it is not acceptable to most fans, but how about you?
    Are you happy with the status of the football product on the field right now?
    If you are you are either a coaches or UKAA family member or possibly a Vandy fan or opponent fan with your own agenda to keep us down.
    We want better than we have now and as the post above says if you as a fan do want better the fan is blamed for the poor football.
    You are simply wrong if you dont want better and the only way to get better is for the fans to demand it.

    And what does it accomplish to constantly bitch, complain, gripe and put down players and coaches? Will that help UK win?

    YES!!! IT WILL!!!! Maybe not that week or that year... but it will sure as hell send the message that we want a "WINNING" program.

    Let me ask you the opposite question... what does it accomplish to constantly make excuses, support, defend and talk UP (praise) our players and coaches? Will THAT help UK win? NOPE! If you think the occasional win here and there, is due to your "praising" of the team and you are content with that... then, by all means, more power to ya. I'm glad you're happy. BUT... if that "mediocrity" is NOT enough... then, you MUST let them know it by showing your frustration.

    Sorry my friend, but if you want better... YOU GOTTA DEMAND IT. Playing nice won't get us there... we have to voice our negative opinions LOUD AND CLEAR.

    cheers
