ESPN’s Pat Forde is hated in Kentucky. I wonder why is he so hated?? Here is a good example of him making fun of the people of Kentucky when talking about Tubby Smith and his radio shows while he was coaching at Kentucky.
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK][QUOTE] Not surprisingly, given the over-the-top ardor of its fans, Kentucky has a history of sanity-challenging call-in shows. [B]Tubby Smith (8)[/B] probably deserves some kind of humanitarian award for 10 years of enduring them. Tubby isn’t a gifted orator — he starts and stops and hems and haws and will employ the confusing thematic jump-switch in mid-sentence — but he was a true diplomat during his days in the Bluegrass.
A lot of the calls to Tubby went like this:
“Coach Smith? This is [B]Orville from Monkey’s Eyebrow (9)[/B]*. I just want to know what it’s going to take for us to play more up-tempo, like we used to, and when you’re going to put Josh Carrier in the starting lineup. He’s a Kentucky boy and I think he deserves a shot.”
Translation: When are you going to resign?
Tubby’s response: “Well, Orville, you certainly bring up some good points. We’ll have to take a look at that.”
Translation: You have absolutely no clue. Fifty-five minutes until we’re off the air.

I could go on a rant for another 3000 words, but I think it would be alot more fun if the readers of Nation of Blue told how they felt about Pat Forde.
[B]In the comments below, and please keep it clean, tell how you feel about Rick Pitino’s best friend’s recent article attacking Kentucky fans everywhere.[/B]
