I think a lot of it has to do with people being jealous. Digger Phelps could never reach the coaching level of UK and couldn't beat us so he takes it out on us on gameday. The media I believe sees Kentucky, the state, in a negative light and doesn't respect us therefore they try and bring down our sports programs or marginalize their accomplishments. I also think that we are the Yankees of college basketball. UNC seems to be the Red Sox. We are this big lumbering giant of a program, maybe not the evil empire, but we do expect greatness and we do hold our teams and coaches accoutability for losing maybe to a fault. But when your goal is final four or bust why not hold them accountable. Why settle for mediocrity. We can be the Cincinnati's or Utah's and have a good team every once in a while and be happy with that. People would still come to the games, buy merchandise, and cheer for them. But why winning is so much more fun and that's what these people don't get. Only one team and their fans can be happy with how the season ended. We just want to be happy that's all.
