“We want to win banners in NASHVILLE”

[westerncat]

Man I loved that line. For so many reasons.

He followed it up with National championship banners also of course.

Shots taken at Cal:

1. Maui
2. Nashville
3. Keeping opponents on their heels with our defense.

Did I miss any?

If you aren’t fired up after that, you aren’t a UK fan.

As he was talking about these I had a smile on my face thinking "Cal you listing ?"

He mentioned not playing for money or the NBA but instead playing for and appreciating what playing for KY means and how it will change their life.

Which is exactly what duke pitches. They pitch being set for life if they go to duke. The brotherhood will take care of them. Even after their NBA career. It puts kids and parents at ease knowing that even if they don’t make the NBA. Duke has them covered. And they pitch WINNING. Calipari is so stupid that he thinks kids don’t want to win and it’s all about the money. What the hell kind of athlete doesn’t want to compete? The ones that don’t ended up at UK. I wonder why? It was past time for that clown to go.

Nah man, I’m fun. Might’ve juggled for y’all

Drew deserves massive credit for Cal leaving. He had the Mazda ready to go to take him out of town, he was so worried about it he left on his own.

 

[Fox2monk]

I hope Kentucky gets to knock Arkansas out of the SEC Tournament with UK's first game.

It certainly won’t be in the finals.. because Cal can’t make it there.

Don’t forget @kybassfan with the unicycle!

He would be playing PSP on stage. PlayStation!

Meanwhile, some 500 miles south, in Fayetteville:

"Nashville? Nah, Little Prairie is on. Go send Bruiser to do the post-game presser, I don't have the time. Tell him to apologize to the Pig Nation for our first round loss or something. Hey Brad, did you walk the dogs?"

While cal was seen walking dog today in Lexington, pope already working. If that don't tell someone where the coaches minds are. Nothing will lol. Arky head coach around for big presser lol

Cal listening to MP press conference.

 

[TheKentuckyKid]

One thing he said is those games matter because we show up to them. What a breath of fresh air, he gets us because he's one of us.

 

[Wildcat Sheli]

I hope Kentucky gets to knock Arkansas out of the SEC Tournament with UK's first game.

Hey, the UK coach will be pumped to be there, while the Arkansas coach will be wishing he could skip the game, admitting he doesn’t even like the SEC Tournament.

 

[southvillecat]

He mentioned some guys from the 2012 team there. Did anybody catch who that was? I thought I saw Darius Miller but couldn’t tell for sure.

[HeismaNole]

I loved all of them and there were many. I like the one where he talked about how players are not doing us a favor by letting this jersey clothe them. It means something.

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

Thought it was funny when the dude asked about open practices. Pope said he had been doing it but didn't think it would work here. Wonder how many seats would be filled just for practices?

 

[kywildcat41086]

He is absolutely knocking it out of the park, holy crap.

He absolutely killed it today that place being there was absolutely f@&king awesome!!!!

They should rotate sites for the local businesses in each city/town

They would definitely get people to show up for practices no doubt. Win or lose, fans show up through the good and the bad for anything Kentucky Basketball.

 

[NociHTTP]

That's the thing. Fans pay to go see games to watch their team win THAT game. Thats the payoff, what's fun. Not to watch a practice session meant to prep the team for later in the season.

Thing is, Cal doesn't use games to make his team better. He uses them to showcase his players, get them noticed by the NBA before he starts trying to hide them from injuries or being exposed.
