So every team that plays UK physical is "thugs"

Pretty much. ... Interestingly enough, I just talked to a friend recently whom I hadn't seen in quite a while & who played college bball. We were discussing, in general, the "good old days" when she played & the '90s men's Hogs teams, the present season & tourney, different teams, etc., then she brought up the time she went to an Arky game at Rupp a few years ago.

Having played basketball, she's heard every form of shite talk, whining, bitching, blaming, etc., etc, etc., from players, coaches, & fans, but said she'd never heard the exceptionally enormous collective amounts of it, in every form imaginable, nor the unbelievable excuses, whining, bitching, & blaming constantly going on regarding everything except how their own team was doing as she heard at that one game in Lexington. She said they were relentlessly & illogically on the refs, the Razorback players, the coaches, the fans, hell, even the damn cheerleaders & mascot. They didn't cheer for their own team; they ranted against the other the entire game.

She'd thought they were joking & trolling about some of it, but they were dead serious, and when she & the folks with her realized that, she said they started having an immensely good time with them. She said she hadn't had as amusing of a time fricking with a fanbase since Arky-Texass football (or bball) games. Their level of self-important "outrage" rivaled that of the Horns fans. ... I think I might tag along with her to Rupp the next time she goes. I just hope like hell Ashley Judd is there. Can't imagine the hilarity of all that in person.
