63 year old coach can't handle his irrelevance, attacks successful program & coach

Two traditions?

Sure.

And two trajectories: UK has five ten win football seasons, two out of the last 4.

UK basketball is working on 10 years since it hung a banner.
With this logic we have only hung 8 in over a 100 years of playing basketball

My logic is/was purely of trajectory: look at each programs’ trajectory since 2016.

No one can rationally argue that basketball is not more successful than football the last 100 years, but those lines look blurry when considering football’s growth since 2016, and basketballs’ drop since 2015.
 
I think Stoops should offer an olive branch to Cal and host a Big Blue football getaway at the beautiful shores of Lake Cumberland for a weekend for the fans who couldn't fit the Bahamas trip into their schedule. For $200 you get a campsite, everybody brings a dish, a couple of games of touch football with fans and then you give the proceeds to help build the basketball facility.

Oh, this sounds like fun......and so nice.

Any chance we could get Cal in a dunking booth to help raise funds for his basketball wish list????

Asking for some Youngstown friends.
 
No need for Cal to say it but he’s right. Kentucky is a basketball school with a vastly improving football program. Go back to 77, and compare both programs history and tell me it’s not
What happened in 1977 or 1998 won't bring a single dollar or a single player to Kentucky in 2022. That is the key fact that all the "basketball school" posters are failing to understand. The past is important, but it is not nearly as important as the future.

Today, the AD is telling you that Kentucky is not a "basketball school" or a "football school". Kentucky is an everything school. As it goes, I have always agreed with that. But for anyone who doesn't agree with it, or doesn't like the AD, too bad. Barnhart sets the athletics agenda. Like it, or don't like it. It is Barnhart's athletics department and has been since 2002. Barnhart calls the shots, and Barnhart will clarify that for Cal and everyone else. For people who can't accept that, feel free to cheer for someone else. Taking cheap shots at Barnhart behind an alias on the internet will not change a thing. But if that behavior makes you feel better, then you need a new hobby. UK sports is what Barnhart says it is. Accept it or find something else you can support in your better moments of conscience. Seriously, everyone.

A thousand dollars a throw should get that Indoor facility built pretty quickly

I think Stoops should waterboy Cal. Not for real, but as a PR stunt that looks real. I think it would be frkn awesome
 
I was talking about the coaches. But, that 51 natty is also claimed by about 3 or 4 other schools

Nice try. It's ok to not know because our mid tier ad doesn't claim it so it basically doesn't matter.

Also there are at least a few pre bcs titles that are shared. It isn't anything new.

Finally Iirc it was 1950. I'm going from memory and might be wrong.
 
Spoiler alert - y’all have always been a football school that just so happened to be elite in hoops. Way more people care about football.
You ain’t just kidding!

If you’ve never been to Kroger, the University owns over 20,000 parking spaces, both on paved surfaces right against Kroger, to grass surfaces at a greater distance, and leases them annually to ticket holders. The University grosses millions of dollars annually for game-day football parking passes.

UK isnta basketball d choo
 


What a pathetic small sorry sack of crap.

Saying that on a lavish trip to Bahamas. Cal only wishes he could be as admired and beloved as Mark Stoops. Cal only dreams he could build something never done before as Stoops has done.

#FootballSchool
#TeamStoops
UK is a basketball school and he is very much admired by fans and rivals. Stoops has done a very good job with football and hope he stays at UK for 10 plus years.
 
They're both immensely successful. Stoops is a top 10 CFB coach and Cal is a HOFer. Stoops is still building something and Cal is steering a historically dominant program.

Non-issue that will get the fanbases pissed at each other and leave everyone worse off. Cal said something stupid. Stoops retaliated. Call it there. Hug it out. Drink a bourbon. STFU and win games. That's what these grown-ass men are paid to do.

Ffs.
I was thinking you possibly didn't complete your 3rd sentence ... does this help?
You said ... "Stoops is still building something and Cal is steering a historically dominant program." I immediately thought you forgot to add ... "into a ditch". 😉

Depends on your outlook, I suppose 😂

It was a dumb comment by Cal. If he apologized I missed it, I'm sure there was a private phone call to smooth it over. Still it's game week, I think it's time to move on

Basketball has dropped a bit and football has risen but basketball had nowhere to go but down when you look at the first half Cals tenure. Conversely, football team had nowhere to go but up when compared to Stoops early teams.

The good news is that both programs look primed to have excellent years. I haven't felt this good about a Kentucky basketball team since the Fox, Monk, Bam team. And our football team may be the best we've had since Stoops has been here, which is saying a lot
