Memphis fans endured a different kind of demise, it was nothing like ours. He allowed the Rose thing, but it was the university that decided not to fight the NCAA, not Cal.

Heck, Memphis was nothing before Cal coached there, he took them to the title game, then left, they have sucked since.

They lost the 07/08 season, but they didn't go through what we have from 21/22 through last year.

As far as Arkansas fans, they don't have to listen to us, the proof is right there on Google. All they have to do is look, we would. So I don't feel sorry for them, they're gonna find out if they don't already see it.

They aren't getting the 09-17 version of Cal, they're getting a narcissist with a mental issue.

Yeah Kentucky really didn’t meet any kind of demise similar to Memphis. When he left Memphis they were getting popped for D Rose and even still the fans and administration was begging for him to stay.

Kentucky’s demise at the end of the Cal era was more of a cultural implosion as a result of him
Staying. The fans were largely done and the AD wanted him gone but couldn’t realistically move him.

Basketball wise we didn’t suffer a lasting demise at all. A few months after it all went down we are still sitting here in top 10 with a bright future.

What we saw was the demise of Cal, not Kentucky.

He is shooting 87.2% overall. But his 3-5 (60%) from 3pt brings down the overall.
He has made 38-42 of his 2pt shots!

He’s a monster now. Perfect UK type player for our future. Not super high ranked but good size and skill. Stayed and has improved every year and now he’s one of the 3 Best big men in college ball and probable AA.

I’m absolutely ecstatic right now. Everyone knows I was very unhappy with the previous coach. It was not healthy but I couldn’t stand the guy. What we’re witnessing so far this season is what I know KY basketball can be.

I’m so excited about our future with Pope. I really believe he is going to do some great things here!!

Yeah man, totally crazy. I was screaming at the tv during the game. To make matters worse, I had to face probably the only WVU in Kentucky the following Monday at work. I think he still had the tags on his gear he wore 🤣

Oh man that’s weak. I yelled too, “stop shooting 3’s and drive and get fouled or give it to Boogie!” We can’t lose to Joe Mazulla!

Interesting. Mitch must have been less than impressed with the decision to talk to Arkansas lol.

I don’t think people Understand just how much Mitch despised Cal. Yet he still sucked up his pride and orchestrated that public sit down and vote of confidence a few days before Cal overplayed his hand. I think AD’s in general have a shit job and that had to be an all time shit week for ours. At least he’s pulled off two good bball hires this past year.

Thanksgiving night, home vs Memphis, ESPN.

People wouldn't keep up the fight if they thought the money was being drained - and they'd know. Besides, Ukraine is shorthanded. Can't much afford the money drains you claim. Where's a solid money trail? Don't tell me you don't have one. It's ignorant on the face of it.

Where is your knowledge train?

To not always have someone sitting due to (alleged) injuries. It seems like under Pope, if you’re healthy, you play.
Naturally Arkansas has two starters injured in Aidoo and Brazile. I watched them last night and literally nothing has changed. As soon as I flipped it on it was a baseline out of bounds. They did the ol’ lob into Z in the corner and Ark-Little Rock stole it.

Yeah, I was talking about this the other day. It doesn't make sense that Calipari's teams always seem to have people out with injuries, and then stay out for longer periods of time, while most other teams remain relatively healthy and return from minor injuries quickly. I have a couple theories...

1. Some of Calipari's more pampered players don't prepare themselves properly. They don't stretch well. They don't work out and lift weights much. They just depend on their athleticism and Cal lets them get away with it because they're favorites. They try to get out there and go 100% in games and they get injured.

2. His players who do get injured and, because of the same permitted laziness I mentioned in #1, they don't return quickly from injury because Calipari's "players first" mantra doesn't require them to work as hard as they can to get back.

#3 Cal is just snake-bit and unlucky and his players just get injured more often than other teams' players.

#4 Cal pushes his players too hard and they end up injured more often because they're pushing themselves to please him. Once they get injured, he feels guilty and doesn't push them to get back quickly.

I think it's #1 and #2.

On Thursday, the Ukrainian city of Dnipro was hit by a Russian air strike which eyewitnesses described as unusual, triggering explosions that went on for three hours.

The attack included a strike by a missile so powerful that in the aftermath Ukrainian officials said it bore the characteristics of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).

Western officials were quick to deny this, saying that such a strike would have triggered a nuclear alert in the US.

Hours after the strike, Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a TV address, said that Russia had launched a "new conventional intermediate-range" missile with the codename Oreshnik,"

Carry-on with your exaggerations.

Russia's Oreshnik missile: What we know

Russia's President Putin said the new powerful missile was used against Ukraine on Thursday.

Thank goodness putin is only killing Ukrainians with intermediate range missiles now, i guess. Also, I see today putins word is good and honest on what's he's doing. How do you guys decipher which is which?

Also, this idea that ukraine "have a bunch of fight still in them" ...they're actually struggling with desertion...not to mention because entire generations of ukranians have been wiped away.

Just not looking at his stupid whaaaaaa face on the sideline is enough for me

I hope all or most of these immigrants move to the liberal strongholds because, in a couple of years (maybe sooner) those places will be trashed and practically destroyed. Let the libs have them and lose what they have.

Thanks for the heads up. Like hearing new names for kids that are going to likely end up in the portal.

The board needs a recruiting thread for the portal. Players we’d like to see Pope go after, or think might be good targets. Think the portal will be so crucial to Pope’s success (I know it’s crucial for everyone these days, but I think it’s uniquely so for Pope)

I mean after seeing what he can do putting together an entire roster from the portal, I would think UK will be on a lot of transfers’ minds.

Vandy is good. Drake is just really good.

I wonder why they haven't followed all this supposed stolen Ukraine aid money which would be multi times bigger.
