I don‘t. Im asking why the basis of your argument is about generalized “Cal worshippers”.
I was just pointing out that your entire view is based on what other people think which I think is kind of superficial and delusional. That’s all. Continue on
BEATING A 19-11 TEAM BY 4 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Lol John Calipari lowering expectations since 2016.
You honestly think there are that many UK fans in Nashville knowing they won't get in to see the game?
You are insane or high. Possibly both.
This thread didn’t age well.
100% agree that excitement is down. But why start this just before he game… trying to be the first to complaining in?
Cal should leave… but he coached a hell if a game today
And if you cant get excited for the tournament and get behind YOUR team. That is a YOU problem.

Dead program now man. We no longer have high hopes and in college basketball you have to be really good. For a good big following . The NFL off season and draft will be fun to keep up with.
Actually that’s exactly what I do
I haven’t referred to him as “Cal” since the St Pete game
You stated the reason beautifully
And even though I am very pleased with the win and by all accounts I’ve read it was a great game by our team, too much has happened for me to refer to him as anything but Calipari. And I do give him the props for that win, FWIW
Perhaps you are right
I’m still in wait and see mode
I really want to get excited for the tournament
Just don’t want to get hopes up
Whoooie....a lotta folks sounding like me...."remember when????"
Society has changed and sport just mirrors that. Some changes are wonderful...integration for example. Some changes such as "me first" ain't so grand.
In total, the players are far superior top to bottom in lineups. More athletic. Bigger and stronger and faster. The game is different though.
The choice boils down to accept what the game is and enjoy it, or fade away and let a new generation take over.

Well Cal. I still think you are an overrated bum who needs to leave after this season.
Landscape has changed several times since cal has been here (OAD, portal, NIL). If he had ignored all of them and just recruited 4 year players who just loved Kentucky then do you think we would have had more success? I don’t like how things have changed either. I started watching in the 80s so I know how it used to be. That said, to act like cal is responsible for the changes is silly. He just tried to ride the waves. You win some (OAD) and you lose some (a fair amount of games since the initial OAD thing wore off).
I’m very observant. This is not the coveted job it once was. The pressure and fan expectations here iare .unrealistic.
This is Kentucky basketball. It’s a very coveted job and according to Forbes magazine is the most valuable basketball program in the country. So you’re observation isn’t in the ball park of being true
No doubt it’s a self supporting profit center, but I don’t see how that translates into people (ie guys on these short lists) wanting to come here.
Let’s see. Donovan turned us down twice. Lit Olson turned us down. Jay wright said no. Barnes wouldn’t have come if we reached out. Stevens isn’t coming. These big names aren’t coming. It will likely be someone young, up and coming.
Donovan wanted an NBA job. Lute Olson turned down UK in the mid 80’s, Jay Wright was born and raised in a town that’s really close to Villanova, etc. There are plenty of good coaches that would want this job. When you’re referencing a coach that turned us down 38 years ago, it’s comical.
I may be wrong, but I think you’re just saying that stuff because you’re a Calipari fan. That’s the only people on here that think he’s bigger than the program itself.
I’ve come to this same conclusion. I’d also bet that 80% of the message volume is probably generated by a group of less than 100 people.
I would think the administration the boosters. How can anyone who loves UK basketball think the last 3 years are UK standard? It's Billy Gillespie level.
