The passion of the Cats fan

by @ 11:02 am. Filed under Blue Blooded Opinions

I love Kentucky fans. I think they’re great. But, as a pretty boring, laid back guy, I’d be lying if I wasn’t at least a little intrigued with the emotional roller coaster that a good majority of our fan base sends themselves on each game day. From the guys on here that demand Gillispie’s head when up only two in the first half only to anoint him king after a 20-point victory, to my old roommate who spiked a lucky Bobby Perry practice jersey (no offense Bobby) after missed free throws because of “bad luck”, it’s not often that a game goes by without a passionate display. But, rarely is a Cats fan caught on tape in his natural environment.

From YouTube….

….during UK’s blowout over Tennessee.

FROM MATT: This video perfectly sums up watching games with many family members. GREAT VIDEO

Go Cats.

  4. SlickRick48 Says:

    1. So does that mean you’ll stop coming here? Please?

  5. Matt Jones Says:

    That video is STELLAR

  6. portersheadband Says:

    4) NO!! haha. as long as people like you are here i’ll always check in! you provide me with too much entertainment for me to just jump ship!! the comedy and genius of this place is just far too addictive to simply leave!

  7. Miller Time Says:

    Pops will have a heart attack before season is over.

  8. SlickRick48 Says:

    6) That’s good. You’re quite the hoot yourself. Watching you talk to yourself in the comments section during last nights game was priceless.

    I hate to say this but we need that new arena. We sat in really good seats last night and i felt like if i made any type of reaction to a good play i was going to get yelled at for blocking some old lady or dudes view. They guy i sat next to was grabbed by the person next to him and told to lean back he couldn t see anything. And then Jody hit those two threes and i looked at my buddy and said Rupp is going to explode. Well it did for all of about well till they got back on defense. That F’n place used to rock for games! Now you cant even put your hand up in the air and stretch.

  10. KYERIC Says:

    mmmmm…delicious fingernails!

    this guy is so me in so many ways.

  11. portersheadband Says:

    8) see!?! i knew you’d like that!! i mean, see how entertaining it can be to watch someone yell into a cave and hear his echo as clear as a bell? i mean, hell, i’m worth having around just for that alone! now if i could just ever straighten out this headband score some points i’d be frigg’n IN there homeskillet.

  12. Pepete2 Says:

    I love the phone on vibrate that is completely ignored.

  13. Meeksismybabydaddy Says:

    This is so my dad minus all of his cussing and constant giving up on the game!

  14. psuweather Says:

    That’s pretty much me… except I jump around the room a lot as well.

  15. drewster Says:

    That’s my whole family/friends when we get together for games. Actaully, this guy is pretty calm by comparison.

  16. JoeBHall Says:

    Hate fingernail biting…gross. I am usually jumping around (with my UK hat/jersey/shorts on). If anyone gives me crap I vanquish them from the room (don’t want anyone jinxing my Cats with bad karma). I cuss, alot, and belittle are weak opponents frequently. My wife simply calls me a freak. I’m okay with that–as long as we win!!! If we lose I’m an a*shole for the next day or so…it’s a sickness, I guess.

  17. LandonSlonewillkillyou Says:

    that is classic,my whole family as well is like this. my 88 year old grandma cussed one time wile we watched a game first time and only time i have ever heard a dirty word from her.

  18. Meeksismybabydaddy Says:

    My dog stares at me during games because he doesn’t understand why I am yelling so much

  19. Roofus Howls Says:

    Angry Dad should be scared. Patterson will find this video on YouTube, track him down, and show him what’s what. Double chin is riding Patrick hard. Don’t see how he survived Sheray.

  20. bige Says:

    Number 9 is correct.
    I don’t sit if don’t want to sit and I don’t care if some old lady or man had their seats for 50 years and can’t see the game. If you want to sit on your A$$ stay home. 24000 people should be worth at least a 12point advantage a game. Sometimes I think the crowd’ silence actually helps the other team. Too many soon to be diaper wearing, black coffee drinking, dinner before 5:30 people at Rupp to give our team the advantage 24000 people should give.

  21. JaredCarterIsMyHomeboy Says:

    Thats me except instead of Patterson its usually Harris or Stevenson. Haha.

  22. chubbyron Says:

    Hilarious. I’ve been this guy and I know plenty of fellow cat fans who just like this. The only difference, is that I hit the chair/couch when I am yelling, and I tend to turn the channel only to come back in 10 seconds because I can’t miss the cats. I swear, being a cat fan is like a being an addict, it sends me into fits, causes random shouting and outbursts, but I have to get my fix.

  23. chubbyron Says:

    And forget watching a game in public. I can’t contain myself.

  24. BillyClyde4President Says:

    I lock myself away in my bedroom during UK games and my family knows not to knock on the door unless it’s an emergency. This is very sad but also very true.

  25. ruppcrazy Says:

    24)do you spend your whole life in your bedroom?

    This guys needs to lay off of PPat. That’s our boy. He’s trippin’ to be so tough on him.

  26. TheDude Says:

    The words Lonely comes to mind. UK fans spend so much time watching the games alone so that others will not hear them scream. On an editorial note, I would not spend time calling Patrick Patterson dumb as he did on several occasions. Know what side your bread is buttered on. Mmmmm….Butter.

    i might as well insert all my uncle’s heads onto that man. it’s like watching them.

  29. ESECEE Says:

    I envision myself in that video. That’s almost exactly how I am, just muttering out commentary to myself or whoever is in the room with me. I often find myself making a comment that the tv hosts will say identically a second after I do. My girlfriend thinks me and whoever is the color commentator for any game I watch are telepathic.

  30. wildcatsforlife Says:

    Yeah that is me. Last night I was standing up for the last nine minutes of the game. I didn’t sit down except for the tv timeouts. I had to be more subdued last night cause my daughter was sleeping since it was a late game, but I would have and usually do go completely nuts. I won’t go out to watch a game either, unless I go to the game, cause I know I will get some looks.

  31. HunterYork22 Says:

    This is absolutely nothing compared to where I watch ball games…im 18 but i watch the game with my dad and some older guys that have been watchin (actually listening on radio pre-1980s) for 50 years…we get pretty crazy so this is nothin compared to us haha

  32. HunterYork22 Says:

    of course minus the fingernail chewing the ENTIRE time..haha

  33. mesacatfan Says:

    he’s a little heftier than my dad, but that’s my dad.
