December 11, 200718 yr Tonight, my roommate, girlfriend, and I attended the University of Kentucky's Midnight Crunch Brunch (an event held every finals week to give students a break from studying.) While we were there eating our food, we saw Mark Krebs, Mark Coury, and Jared Carter walk up the stairs. Some of you might not know who he is, but Krebs is a walk-on on UK's basketball team. While walking up the stairs, Krebs stopped for a second to whisper to Coury, and then proceeded to walk up these two guys sitting right beside us and said "Can I sit with you girls?" and laughed and walked away. We all found this to be a very cruel thing for Krebs to do. These guys we just sitting there, minding their own business, and Krebs went out of his way to make fun of them. It was an extremely cruel and hateful thing to do. I, along with my roommate, will NEVER cheer for Krebs if he ever gets in a game. I have lost whatever respect I would have had for the guy. Some people may think I am over-reacting, but I was raised to treat people with common decency and to stand up for what I believe is wrong and Mark Krebs was most definately wrong tonight. Sorry for the long post but I had to take a second to vent and stand up for what is right.
December 11, 200718 yr Author Are you positive he didn't know them? Yes I am we talked to the guys after he walked away because we couldn't believe he said it.
December 11, 200718 yr After seeing/hearing it first hand, I was pretty upset. The fact that he clearly went out of his way was very irritating. When the two kids said "we are used to it, people say stuff like that to us all the time" probably made me feel just as bad though. I talked to several others about what happened and I found out that this is a fairly common occurrence for him.
December 11, 200718 yr The guy sounds like a jerk. Glad he doesn't get to see the court. They should have replied with "Can you get me some water?"
December 11, 200718 yr I talked to several others about what happened and I found out that this is a fairly common occurrence for him. Him being Krebs, and several others saying that Krebs didn't quite rub them the right way either on separate occasions. It is only a name calling issue, but when it happened, I felt like I had gone back 7-8 years in time when it was assumed we didn't know any better.
December 11, 200718 yr What a jerk... He'll get his in the end. I'm sure Krebs thought his original line was hilarious... Doesn't this stuff end in like junior high?
December 11, 200718 yr The 3 of them don't really have much wiggle room to talk jack to anybody. Carter should not be there, period. Krebs is a walk on and Coury plays because we have nobody else.

There is nothing worse than a jerk with delusions of grandeur, whether it's your boss or a walk-on the UK basketball team.
