Gosh, I never imagined this kind of response.
First, I want to thank the Lord Jesus Christ for allowing me the opportunity to live in world in which I can post whatever is on my mind.
Second, I want to thank my parents for engraving the Western spirit within me from a young age and allowing me to further my education so that I can sit at a desk and stir up trouble on a messageboard.
Third, I want to thank all of my fans. Without you guys none of this would have been possible.
And last, thanks to galojay and primerate for the ugly comments. Without them, this thread possibly would have gone nowhere!
*Applause*

You know, had Morris decided to transfer to WKU after his failed NBA draft attempt, Galojay and Prime would change their attitude and pissiness in a heart beat. They and everyone else would be all over these threads, singing Morris' praises, waxing about his immediate impact on the team, how the Toppers were going to kick butt in the Sunbelt (and their OOC schedule), and just going nuts with the RAH RAH RAH WKU RULES WKU IS THE BEST blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda. But since Morris has no ties to WKU, oops, can't make a post that doesn't relate to WKU. :rolleyes:
The original post was about the NBA draft. So some get a few digs in at a UK player. It's not like the thread is PROMOTING the ****** cats 100% all of the time and in every nook and cranny on this board. Categorically the post is tearing the 'Cats a new one. Amen to whoever said summertime is dead and any sports talk is better than none at all. I think some fail to realize that there is a WORLD out there filled with many interesting events, tales, activities, etc which includes all different types of sports. The world does NOT revolve around Bowling Green and it's hometown university as some apparently think it does. How boring would life be if you only talked about one thing?
Guess this means any type of discussion on what happened today in London is out of the question (unless some clear WKU tie was present). It's such a shame there are close-minded folks out there.

I have wondered when reading the Haven, and recently while reading the Randolph Morris thread, is it that some WKU fans are anti-everything-not-WKU, or is it just UK and UofL?
In other words, had someone posted about Andrew Bogut being drafted, would it have raised the ire that a thread about Morris did?
For as good a message board as the Haven is (I read it several times daily, there often is some good info on there), it's exclusivity to WKU sometimes is just too much.
And as far as I'm concerned, the self-appointed board cops can continue to implode themselves. If I see a thread I don't want to read, I don't read it, and I sure as heck don't reply. I don't need them censoring it for me.
-EDIT- I removed a line that, upon further review, probably was too vulgar to put here. My apologies

K-brew,
Even though RBM tries to portray all WKU fans as small minded individuals who are limited in life experiences only to Bowling Green I think most of us have no problem talking general sports. It is indeed UK and UofL that we have a problem with. Had the topic been Bogut I seriously doubt a word would have been said.
RBM, you are pathetic with your attempts to put down WKU fans any chance you get.

I don't fully believe he was taking cheap shots at us. He got a couple of pokes in there, but basically said the same thing that I said over on the other thread.
I sometimes feel that some people are close-minded and see that the board says "Western Kentucky", so it can only pertain to WKU. Well, I certainly hope that's not the case. I don't think there's enough stories in the world about only WKU that could keep me interested all of the time. I enjoy talking about other things too. I like to talk about other colleges, their players, the NBA, MLB, football, and even things non-sports related (but don't let my fiance know!). I think it's borderline insane that one single thread that mentions anything remotely related to UK can send someone off the deep end and make them not want to come back and contribute. However, that is their choice and I don't have a problem with it.
I also liked what GT Swagger said on the other thread too. I think he hit the nail on the head.

I don't need Racerbymarriage to make that portrayal. I have felt that way when reading some WKU fans posts (not all, just some) for quite some time.
I think some of the one-sidedness of some posts or threads is what gets WKU fans such a bad rep of being arrogant.

Arrogant? Or Ignorant? Both?
I think every school has those fans, and you know who they are. There are a few over on the Sun Belt (tribal grounds) Board that I wish I could just "ignore". They rarely say a nice thing about another school, so usually I just skip over their comments. I even had one of them create an ezboard account so he could send me messages and berate me. I thought that was a bit much, and I never replied to him.

I agree every school has arrogant/ignorant fans, but hey let's just pretend like WKU is the only one because well, it make RBM and Kbrew feel good.

Ride, this was too darn easy. Didn't you say "sayonara" to this board along with Galojay? Heh heh you should know me by now to know that I was baiting both of you into posting again on this board (ie draw you back in). The stuff about you and Galo was to goad you into responding. And once again you took the bait hook, line and sinker.
1 down, 1 to go.
