Rupp 10 Commandments

[kentuckyforthewin]

I found these a while back and I thought they were good.

1. Thou can not whine about fans being quiet, if thyself is not loud as well.

2. Thou must boo the referee, even if it is the right call.

3. Thou must yell 3! every time Kentucky shoots behind arc.

4. Do not covet thy opponent's talent.

5. Thou must give opposing player hell if opposing player is too physical
or starts a fight.

6. Thou shall not leave early. To do so is punishable by death.

7. Thou shall not boo the home team.

8. Thou shall not worship any other team but thine own.

9. Thou shall stand and cheer when fight song is played.'

10. If player has played a great game, then thyself shall give standing ovation when coming off court.

...or since I'm a northern Kentucky river rat, you are banished to be a Bearcat fan for life...:eek:...real fans do not leave early regardless of the score.

Leaving early is punishable by not getting to see Dwight Anderson take Kansas apart in the last two minutes of the game. Learned my lesson.

2. Thou must boo the referee, even if it is the right call.



I don't like this one at all. Refs are an important part of the game and do NOT deserve to be booed for making a correct call - or even if they blow an insignificant call. Now, if they blow an important call, that's different.

But, referees are not the enemy and should not be treated as such.

You forgot the No. 1 Commandment.....

Thou shalt under no circumstances (I don't care if it's Duke, the LA Lakers, or the US Olympic team), never, ever, ever storm the court. We are Kentucky.

I have my moments ;)

Thou shall actually wear blue or white!

[Blue Heaven]

Thou shall actually wear blue or white!
You ever see some Kentucky gear that'll have some yellow in it? What's up with that?! No yellow. No black. Just blue and white:icon_idea:

[POEKLM]

10. If player has played a great game, then thyself shall give standing ovation when coming off court.

And as long as it isn't someone like Joakim Noah.....applaud an opposing player for an outstanding game ....like I said as long as they are classy.
I think this shows that Kentucky fans do know their basketball and appreciate good basketball.
