For those who whine about what teams I like or say bandwagoning. Since all of you seem to forget why I like who I like........well here you go. I shouldnt have to post anything anyways because Its a free country and I can cheer for whoever I want. Living in Ohio isnt a law that you have to love OSU. There are plenty of posters on here who like different teams in football and basketball.
As for UK, my whole family both sides are from Kentucky and no other state. Not one family member came from Ohio. Ive been a fan of UK since about 6 years old when Kenny Sky Walker played. Ive went through the KSW, Chapman, Mashburn, Sutton probation years, etc. Anyone who is from Kentucky would know how UK bball fans are and how you cant- not be one. Its the only real sport for the state since there is no pro teams. Being a fan of a team for 25 years is longer than anyone on this site for UK, and that is not bandwagoning.
In the 90's I went to football games with my dad, not caring for UK in football.I went to there midnight madness' on the same w/e usually. I liked/bandwagoned the Miami Hurricanes because they were good and had cool hats/t shirts.....but I wasnt really a true fan of them. During the 90's is when I first watched LSU in person going into the game not thinking much about them. Now, if I started liking LSU in 2006 I would be a bandwagon fan, or even since after winning a title in 03 that might count as a bandwagon fan. BUT>>>>> I started liking them before they won any titles. How in the world was I suppose to like UK in football, its not like they were ever any good. Plus Im a fan of purple/yellow teams evidently since Ive been a Vikings fan since the Anthony Carter days (before H. Walker).
I can admit I try to drive it down people's throats about the SEC at times........or alot of times. But, its no different then 90% of OSU posters who have nothing else better to do than rip on me, my beliefs, who always use cuss words towards me to disrespect me on purpose because of my beliefs, rip on the SEC or who I root for in football and bball. Over the years Ive been ripped on as much as anyone can..........and should I just put up with it, or should I defend myself or defend a conference who you guys continually try to rip on or bring down? You guys dont see it as wrong when you gang up on me since you are all of the same fan base and back each other up.
I will try to calm down on the bashing of OSU fans and hopefully you guys can do the same. If you rip on me or my teams, then you will have to expect me to defend as should you.
And as for the other thread, I never said Turner wasnt good. I said he shouldnt get the award because he missed 20% of the season. Of course you guys will want Turner to win, and of course I want Wall to win since Im a UK fan. Doesnt that make sense?
If you want to bash me, go ahead. But this thread should explain me and we will see if there will be any class in this thread. We all saw what happened on the Next Percy Harvin thread.
