Weird thing is, my buddies that used to rag on me after a UK loss, it’s not as fun for them anymore so they don’t do it.
“It’s just a small minority of RR posters that are sick of Cal”

Some of mine do not do it because I am 66 and they are afraid it will kill me.
True
Like Matt or not he will blast Cal as needed and drop compliments as needed.
I like Matt myself (not politics sometimes).
At the end of Ray Goff's tenure at UGA t-shirt venders in Athens on game day were selling Ray Gump t-shirts that said "stupid is as stupid does".
There was a picture of someone sitting on a bench with a G on the back of the hat.
They'd copied Forrest Gump.
He was gone at the end of the year.
I agree, we should sign coach’s up for a 4 year deal, if it works give them another 4. If it still works give them a 4 year deal with an opt out after the 2nd year.
We fans are starting to show spurts of consistency.
Wish we could do a contract on performance based terms. You do well you get paid well. You do poorly you get paid a lot less. Of course most coaches want the guaranteed money where they can do poorly and still get paid well.
When he stopped caring about wins and championships that should have been grounds for termination. He's not doing what he was paid to do. He's not here to make millionaires. He's here to win games and championships. The team's success will lead to the players' success. We're not here to just be an NBA farm team.
I can understand fans saying they support Cal because he's part of the Kentucky BB family. But it makes no sense to me why some fans continue to unconditionally support him when things are going bad. Are these people some of Cal's immediate family?
Calipari is a part of the UK basketball, he's not the entire program. Kentucky will still be around long after he is gone.
I agree 100% too bad the market has long held coaches to get paid and buyouts for being terrible.
I’m more concerned with my son’s 5th grade Parks and Rec team. They are 3-0. The coaches are doing a great job and the kids are improving.
I’ve got a classic/southern rock band that I am in. It’s a lot of fun.
There’s just more to life than UK basketball. I didn’t even watch the game yesterday because I had better things to do.
I think I am a pretty typical UK fan now. If they win, great. If they lose, it’s no big deal.
Aren’t we all just a little numb to it all now?
Apathy has set in for sure.

We are just stuck with him. Him and the AD, we are stuck with it. They can keep being lazy here.
I don't like it either, but this whole debacle falls on the shoulders of UK's AD.
I can gripe all I want and I guarantee that it doesn't take one red cent out of UK's pockets.
What causes a coach to be replaced?
Well, if you have a George Steinbrenner type AD, you put a winning product on the field and you hire the right people.
But Steinbrenner, Mitch ain't.
Till deep pocket boosters, sponsors, premium seat fans put the pressure on, I expect little change .
Money talks louder than any verbage.
I too miss those days when although there were long periods between c'ships, at least we presented a competitive product most years.
Merry Christmas!
