RUPP RAFTERS PEOPLE

[CatsCatsCats]

I've lurked on Rafters since 2009, and came here for opinions on all things UK Athletics. I don't want to do without it now. I probably won't post, I just wanted to say that. It was easy for me to decide against on3.

VERY occasionally I see a "UK fan" (judging by their avatar) on X still taking up for Cal and/or talking about him like we missed out on something. This flared up after the loss this past season...but I saw it a few scattered times throughout the season.

I feel sorry for those people. It's the weirdest kind of fandom: to just be caught in the past like that. Makes no sense at all.

Pardon my ignorance please. Confused by the 40K+ posts. Changed username I assume?

The Reds will hold onto each young star until the trade deadline of the final year of their contract. Then they will be Yankees or Dodgers. Such is life for a fans of small market teams. No change in sight without a salary cap. No salary cap in sight when the players union will not have it.

Agreed. They desperately need a salary cap in baseball.

Obviously i benefit as a Dodger fan but still, it's highway robbery.

When was the last time we had 800 responses to a thread in the basketball forum? It honestly may not have ever happened. I guess this is what people who live in Sturgis feel like.

The roster/portal thread this offseason.

Welcome aboard. I don’t suppose “Club 68” refers to the 1st nightclub I ever entered? Lebanon KY 1988. Fire Dept was the band.

Oh yeah, of course it does! Lebanon guy here. Buster Brown was my band, but I also enjoyed Fire Dept. I think I first sneaked in there when I was 16, lol? The best of days!

I ain't going to lie, not sure how I feel about my old username 😅 😐

That dude is gone, I had to bury the old me.

I actually prefer to be Kentucky wild and free 😆 🤣 😂 😹

Awesome! Springfield here. I was BARELY 16! If you could walk to the door they’d let you in and serve you 🤣. Never saw Buster Brown but remember the name

BTW—I’m way out of high school. Don’t have to hate me as a border rival 😜

I blamed the Yankees for years. Then MLB itself. Finally in my aged state I realized it’s the players—the union. I understand they have no interest in limiting their earnings potential. Get drafted, build your resume for a few years then hit the big time.

Actually it makes me wonder how football, basketball and hockey ever got a salary cap.

Agreed 👍

I still enjoy the special teams with low payroll players who dominate the big boys.

Agree 100%, create a seperate wing for that era. So many did them it’s hard to know all who did or didn’t. They were the best of the era and it robs the hall of its meaning. They didn’t outlaw it while playing so it is what it is.

I agree with the separate wing for that era of baseball.
