THIS.Cals the one who called his shot. I don’t know a uk fan to ever say we are going undefeated until cal laid out his goal the first day of his job. Bbn just jumped on board with him.
You just explained the state of Kansas Basketball.What a silly strawman argument. No one expects to win every game, win the tournament every year, get all players drafted, and other such drivel.
UK fans want:
1. A team that is in the conversation for a title.
2. A team that is at/near the top of the SEC.
3. A team that shows improvement over the course of the season and players who show improvement over the course of their careers here.
4. A coach that makes sensible adjustments to put his team in a position to compete and his players in positions to excel.
5. A team and coach who respect the program's history and its fans, the paying customers.
6. Uniforms that are devoid of checkerboards and other such nonsense. Again, respect tradition here (with an occasional fun one-off).
7. Shorter lines for ice cream at Rupp.
Are you describing ice cream, or the opportunity to watch Shaedon Sharpe warm up?#7 is easy, get there early and get your ice cream an hour before the game starts
We have 3…an 8 yr old and 2 three year oldsNo grandkids yet. May not happen unfortunately, it’s up to the higher ups. I’m on call to see to the cats though. I’m open to that.
He didn’t get a lifetime contract and was fired after 2 years of mediocrityUK was the premier program under Billy Gillespie? Lol
You would probably say after inheriting 10 million dollars: " They'll probably be only 6 million after taxes"!“… and would complain if we were 20-1.”
When we are 14-7 and barely (actually not) on the bubble.
Is there a dumber thing people that like to act like our fans are the problem say? Let’s hear it.
That’s great! I totally believe in my kids enough to know they will do it right. My daughter and son in law are struggling to have kids and my son is still single and says he is staying that way, so. I get pics of cats and dogs.We have 3…an 8 yr old and 2 three year olds
We hope and pray we’ve taught our children well enough to teach theirs
And this does not define mediocrity; this defines abysmal.You’re delusional if you think we should win more than 26 out of 59 games against ranked teams
😂🤣
Pretty sure I didn't say you people. Make it up as you go.“… and would complain if we were 20-1.”

That's not what I said either.That’s the same guy that said the only reason Kentucky fans wanted Reed Sheppard was because he was white.
And not the same team that was 10-6. Because a loss to Kansas made our fans explode ala every loss that's ever occurred around here.Exactly! It’s gaslighting. I’m quoting a guy on this board who literally said what I put in the thread title. You guys would complain if we were 20-1. Except we are NOT 20-1. We’re 14-freakin-7
Youins’ or yourn. Not clear.what did he mean by you people?
We’re 14-7. Your resume is your resume. As far as the committee is concerned, yes it is the same team. The body of work is what it is at this point. Which is why WE desperately needed that win on Saturday.And not the same team that was 10-6. Because a loss to Kansas made our fans explode ala every loss that's ever occurred around here.
It wouldn't matter if it was the first loss... I can't help you are incompetent and can't see that. Maybe you will with age little man
I hope that’s the goal to win every game. Cal used to say that is what he wanted to do. I don’t expect it, but I would hope that our coaches and players would strive for that goal!“… and would complain if we were 20-1.”

Still miss the avatar with the blonde chick and the hand.UK was the premier program under Billy Gillespie? Lol
5-15 against top 25 competition last several yrs. Yeah, we've definitely set the bar to high with expectations. We should storm the court if we can miraculously defeat mighty Ole Miss tomorrow.38-1 made are dan base delusional.....that was an aberration....just like 9-16 was....not gonna win every game these days....our fans fail to realize that.
I'm not wrong.We’re 14-7. Your resume is your resume. As far as the committee is concerned, yes it is the same team. The body of work is what it is at this point. Which is why WE desperately needed that win on Saturday.
Take the L, you should be used to this by now.
Ask himwhat did he mean by you people?
I agree they should be better against top 25 teamsNo fan thinks we should win every game.
But no way UK should have the record it does against top 25 teams last few years either.
UK should win the SEC regular season 3 out of every 5 years on average and same with the SECT.
UK should be a 1 seed at least every 5 years on average.
UK should be in the Final 4 every 5 years on average.
UK should be a title contender 7 out of every 10 years on average. And should win one per decade on average.
That is absolutely not to much to ask as a fan of UK BASKETBALL.
You may not expect it because you may be more intelligent than some... Tell me which loss to end the year you were good with? Which loss was all of the fans ok with? Hell name a game we lost, and nobody got on here complaining and talking about how horrible we are. Going back as far as you can remember?What a silly strawman argument. No one expects to win every game, win the tournament every year, get all players drafted, and other such drivel.

People are pissed, because of the way Cal keeps losing these games. You understand that, right?I'm not wrong.
It's nothing to do with Saturday night. My post was about all our ignorant fans. We have some great fans but I wasn't specifically talking to the ones that aren't very intelligent. Every season, no matter if it's loss #1 or #8 , it's the same people saying the same things. The sky is falling.
There's no blaming fans.... Fans have nothing to do with how the team plays. Just like fans have no say in how long the coach will be here.
I am used to this..... You acting like an oversized 4th grade bully that just got his ass whipped.. posting from another thread.... See guys, tell him guys... Tell him he's wrong guys.
You and your lil 6/8 man crew on here. Slurping every drop from the next

Yup, 4 titles in 80 years, but those coaches made peanuts compared to what Cal is making.I agree they should be better against top 25 teams
They do win the sec tournament and reg season on avg that much
They do avg final 4 every 5 years. They are 7/10 years contender. 16,18 and 21 the only years they haven't been contender since 2013
Win one every decade? You do realize we've had 4 in nearly 80 years right?
It's all just part of deflecting blame on the fanbase. I saw some whack job on here earlier saying the fans were going to make next year's recruits decide not to come because we are unhappy with Cal.No you're right. It's a dumb thing to say.
I mean there's probably some subset of the fanbase that would be upset at 20-1. But I don't even know why the head coach of UK would pay those any mind.
But we aren't 20-1 Cal, we are 14-7.
People aren't complaining because we aren't 20-1, they are complaining because we are 14-7.
@Indiana 2011.You may not expect it because you may be more intelligent than some... Tell me which loss to end the year you were good with? Which loss was all of the fans ok with?

He is one bad loss from loud and frequent booing during a game at Rupp. Could come anytime now.THIS.
Cal started the 40-0 shit. He said:
"Lets do it"---My goal before I retire is to win all 40 games.
This after losing in 2015:
"I think the challenge now is, can anybody be 38-0? I don't think so," Calipari said. "If it's done, it will be us.
And this....
"No disrespect to anybody, but who was the national champion two years ago, three years ago, four years ago?" Calipari said. "38-0, that's going to go down. To take away from what my team did last year and say you didn't win it? We won 38 in a row to start. That won't ever be done again. I'm so proud of what they did."
Well John, are you saying no one remembers that 38-2 national title team from Lexington?
Here is where cal got into trouble----He underestimated the intelligence of UK fans, and basketball....He also underestimated the passion. Why? Because he never had to deal with it, until NOW, and the past few years. He was dominant----he thought he would stay dominant.....He also felt what he done in Years 1-6 was good enough..........................Forever.
Nope. Not in Lexington.
And with him underestimating the fans, he didn't see anything wrong with the jabs he took.
BIG mistake.
He built this monster with, "Gold Standard", "We are the needle"...."We eat first"----So on and so on. Yet now he wants to blame fans, call them unrealistic----When the expectations UK fans have, were the expectations HE BUILT.
Unless there is a HUGE turn of events, this will be an ugly, ugly divorce.
Best post in a long time.Do I want to win EVERY game............MOST certainly!!!
DO I expect to win EVERY game.............YES!!!!
Do I get UPSET when we lose...............YOU BET!!!!
Am I reasonable enough to realize that we WON'T win every game...............YES.
But to grow up a UK Basketball fan and just be content with mediocrity is UNFATHOMABLE!!!
Cal makes $9 million/year because of the BBN's high expectations!!! It's been the SAME for EVERY coach since Rupp. It blows my mind to think there are UK fans out there that DON'T share my PASSION!!!
Is your friend still sticking by the news he gave you? Hopefully he has given you even better updated news.👍🙏🤞🤞He is one bad loss from loud and frequent booing during a game at Rupp. Could come anytime now.
