What a shell of a blue blood we have become. 3rd, 4th, 5th in the SEC. Winning the SEC used to be a given. Hi Indiana, how's the WiFi in the cheap seats?
••OFFICIAL TENNESSEE VS KENTUCKY GAME THREAD••
- Thread starter drew_ukfan
- Start date
It takes quite the effort to get your ass kicked when you shoot 50% and make 12 threes
15-6 with a roster filled with at least 7 future NBA draft picks.
Think about that.
Calipari is nightmarishly bad at this.

I hate the UT lesbian.
I hate Doug Shows.

Don't worry. After this game, we can all turn our attention to the NBA to watch our All Stars play. Gotta go put my SGA jersey on real fast.
I wouldn't bet on it. It's time to flood the call in lines. Maybe put up a billboard but our coach has to go.
Lost 3 out of the last 4 embarrassing…. 2 of which were in Rupp Arena….
I know this is going to sound weird to quite a few people here on this board, but a coach is supposed to excel in all aspects of the job. It's not just recruiting. It's not just saying the right things. It's not just preparing athletes for the business aspect of professional sports.
It's development, which Cal doesn't do.
It's in game coaching and strategy, which Cal doesn't do.
It's basketball IQ and game awareness, which Cal doesn't have.
It's using and teaching all aspects of the game, which Cal doesn't do.
It's about developing a bench, which Cal doesn't do.
It's about not playing politics, which Cal can't quit doing.
Sometimes, it's about studying the other team and taking away their strength or using it against them, instead of just playing the same way against everyone.
If you can't see it yet, I don't know how anyone here will EVER see anything more simply obvious.
After over a decade, he has done the least with the most highly ranked talent the sport has ever seen. He flat out CANNOT COACH. He's one helluva recruiter, because he can sell mediocrity to a lottery pick, but he couldn't coach Michael Jordan out of a bathroom stall.

Are you finally willing to admit that Kentucky's biggest problem is its head coach, or are you still in that camp that throws all the players to the wolves while shielding the architect of this four-year disaster?
Cal, tell the guys to stop fouling and feed yourself the inevitable loss already. Stop delaying the obvious, you idiot.
falling out of the rankings as March approaches...check
the next domino to fall will be a player discontent
followed by uninspired play in the SEC tournament
crushing loss in the NCAA tournament (assuming we make it)
mass exodus 2 weeks later

I've said it before, but I would take literally any other D1 coach at this point.
John Crapapari with another outstanding performance
Something going on. The weird Dilly illness where he was allowed to sit on the bench. Edwards sitting out with what Cal said a knee and it was a quad. Wagner sitting out. Z saying he is sick but allowed to sit with the rest of the team. Something is bad fishy
Because we have the DUMBEST COACH in the SEC.
yeah, I’ve seen it for several years now. I can’t stand him.
Remember how Pitino went undefeated at home in his first season at Kentucky, when he had a roster filled with walk-ons, in a probation season?
If you cannot play half-court man, you sure as hell cannot press successfully.
Humor is how I cope with trauma. CCC has fully killed my ability to enjoy college ball.
If you think these guys are going on a magical run in March, I've got news for ya. They're done.
