Arkansas fans

That’s an instant replay of lines he used at UK. Yeesh, the dude’s been coaching for over four decades and still acts like zones are some newfangled thing he hasn’t had a fair chance to prepare for yet.

He’s become an excuse machine.
Yes he has, it’s ridiculous he says the same stuff year after year. Like did you not notice this last year? Why aren’t you teaching it this year!???
 
WHEN I THINK OF CAL

He’s not a “coach”, he’s a recruiter. I’ve always said that. He relies completely on raw talent and athleticism to win. Zone defenses have been his kryptonite for years and years. Thank God he is gone!!!


This. He'd be the guy I'd want on the staff like we have Hart but not my head coach.

Still, the early years were fun, right up until we lost with Bam/Fox/Monk. It went downhill after that and he's officially washed up. Everyone can recruit with NIL now and his BS approach to out athleting people is useless as the playing field has evened out.
 
Go easy OP.

If Cal comes in Feb 1 and gets us, you’re inviting every Hog fan to rub it in for months.

Cal might be a little behind the times, but he did pretty well against better opponents last year. Beating UT in Knoxville on senior day wasnt easy. And walking into Auburn and beating Pearl wasn’t cake either. He also destroyed KU at KU one year.

That game Feb 1 isn’t a guarantee yet.

Yeah, don't forget losing about losing at home to a mid-major, and then losing 3 straight home games later in the season. 0 post season wins. Cal killed it, lemme tell ya.

This isn’t a home game for him, it’s not a tourny game either. We’ve talked for years about how UK plays better away than at home, and I have examples of impressive wins where we were underdogs and Cal came through.

I’m not saying we won’t win, but to think it’s in the bag isn’t wise.

They don’t play zone in AAU and they don’t play zone in the nba . Why would any college coach waste time preparing an offense to counter it ?

So you think this 1 game defines the entire season? I'll bet anyone right now that we have the better season. Arkansas is losing 10+ games. The end.
 
By Feb1st Pope will have UK playing much better than the Hog's... This will be a home win and Arky can go back home with a butt kicking...

GBB
They're already playing better than the Hogs, to be honest. I really don't think Arkansas could beat us right now. They would isolate themselves into oblivion, and would have NO ANSWER for the touch passes.

Isn’t your whole point of this post based after yesterday’s game?

As a huge Cat fan I hope you’re right, but it’s a little early to start this, we haven’t played anyone.

And since we’re talking about the 2 and you seem wound up, why are you so obsessed with Cals success/failures and inviting Hog fans to argue?
You do realize that they’re thrilled to have him. Makes us look like Louisville fans.

Lmao damn that sure sounds familiar! Fact of the matter is, he can’t coach against a zone. He can’t teach one either!

How can D1 players in a power conference who've played high school and AAU ball plus a coach whose been coaching for what 40 years not know how to play vs a zone defense??!!

To be fair, he’s also starting with an entirely new roster, so it isn’t like he had returning players he coached last year that could be building upon what they learned allowing them to start the season stronger out of the gate.

I mean, if he’d had a good core to start with…maybe even something as minimal as one guard, one wing, and one big who knew his complex offensive and defensive schemes, they could help their teammates along. But alas, he is completely hamstrung with an entirely new roster…oh, wait a minute…🤔


🤣🤣

I guess you missed the 16 page thread with Arkansas fans celebrating after they beat a depleted Kansas team, right? And who the hell are you, anyway? The message board police? If I want to make a thread calling out Arkansas fans, I'll do it, and the good thing for you is that you don't have to click on it. Next.

All of this is true. If we have live ball turnovers and allow them to offensive rebound they will beat us . I fully expect Arkansas to have their best “effort game” against us . I’m also curious to see if they tighten up like Cals asshole when they play us ,the same way his teams have been doing in the sec and ncaa tournament.

But even if we were to lose …. It is still WELL worth it to get rid of the bum that was bastardizing our program.

If you think Cal is gonna walk into rupp and win scoring his usual 65-70 ppg, I don't know what to tell ya.

Arkansas scored 65 points against TCU.
Arkansas scored 67 points against Baylor.
Arkansas scored 76 points against Lipscomb.

Didn’t say I thought that. But it’s not impossible. I don’t think we will have many live ball turnovers, but that and offensive rebounding are the only way they can score. If we keep them off the boards they shouldn’t be able to win.

This is gonna be an Arkansas team that can't shoot the 3, and they will hover around 65-70ppg. Athletic, can rebound, but can't score. Typical Cal team. If Cal couldn't win with the team he had last year, he ain't gonna win this year.

The thing is, he did.
He won @Auburn. He won @UT. He demoralized Bama. He may lose in March but he thrives in a lot of these regular season games. And you know he’s extremely motivated for this one. It’s his all time Super Bowl.

I agree with you on a lot, and that stale offense he runs, but to be extremely confident is asking for it.
