Cal Just Can't Stop Talking Kentucky
- Thread starter LmdCat
- Start date
Can everyone stop bashing Cal? In case all of you had forgotten, Cal had some great years at Kentucky. With the exception of the past 5 years we were the top program in all of basketball under Cal so give the man some credit. I do not get the vitriol you people have for him. It's time to move on and embrace what we have and hope Pope does a great job because nothing is guaranteed.
We both have the right to be "wrong"!
Cal hung a banner and gave us a lot of great moments.
If you brand Cal "enemy", then you need to add Rick and Tubby.
That leaves you with ONE TITLE after Rupp retired (Joe B in 1978).
You just have to love posts that contain "you people." I am not giving Cal anything but the same vitriol that he gave to fans with great pleasure. Why don't you Cal university lovers pack-up and follow him to Hoggsville? I am sure he would welcome you with open arms.

We don't need to brand Rick and Tubby anything especially Tubby. Those two men didn't disrespect the fanbase the way Cal did. Don't give me the crap about what Rick did when he came back to college basketball. He was only giving back in kind.
He flipped us off when he came back to college basketball and the fans went after him. What did you expect he was going to do when out of control fans were going after him. Cal basically flipped us off while still coaching at Kentucky.
Rick did not flip "us" off. He flipped off a fan who said something to him. He's an extremely competitive person. Meanwhile Cal was out giving UK fans the bird in February.
"Move on dude"! How much gray matter did you lose to achieve such a high intellectual state?
He really doesn't know what he is. He is waiting for Cal to tell him.
And we'll still be talking about Cow, for example,every time we see our team successfully defending a hot shooter on the perimeter breaking loose with double and stagger screens with early help, early recover like he drills in practice, which Cow never did. Maybe changed defenses what once a year😅 I remember when he got ejected at Arkansas when we were losing then Kenny Payne comes in goes straight to zone and it befuddles Arky for the win😅
The reason I don't feel sorry for him is that he had YEARS AND YEARS to actually change his goals back to what he was being paid to do and he refused. He had his own priorities - which weren't focused on a successful college basketball team - and he never bothered to re-orient them even a little toward what they should be.
I guess he was just hoping he'd get lucky and have a successful team again so he could keep doing what he personally wanted to do and not have to bother doing any coaching at all.
In harsher words, he was a lazy scam artist.
So no, I don't feel sorry for him. He made his own choices.
Kentucky also can't stop talking about Cal (apparently)
I don't know who -"you people" are, but I didn't say a team couldn't have multiple goals.
Anyway, welcome to the board. Hope you enjoy your stay.
What do you know, we have another flyby poster with a post count higher than his IQ.

Nice twisting, any jobs hiring for strawman twisters? I'll be a reference ferye.
You do realize how backwards you got that right- it was Pope doing the early help early recovery drills not Cal. Cal is the one that did not and never does adjust the defense.
Caught any
Caught any bass lately, largemouth??
If you think New Yorkers have lead in their water don’t go to LA, ever.
Not exactly sure how you connect UK Rangoon’s and still a Cal now. It’s fact he wasn’t loyal
To the university. He was talking early spring and then to Arkansas in an unethical way which violated his contract. You can be a Cal fan but don’t mention Cal and loyalty in the same sentence as a reason why.
Sadly, I have been there. Phony space cadets everywhere. And don't get me started on their bizarre obsession with honking their horns for literally everything.
How many years did it take for folks to finally stop posting on RR about Tubby? Asking for a friend.Pitino can't stop talking about UK 27 years after leaving. Not a surprise Calipari can't either a few months after leaving.
For all UK coaches, it was the zenith of their coaching careers so they are gonna keep talking about it.

You're not much into numerical facts and details are you. Keep right on ignoring numerical facts and then try to use emotional shaming straw man arguments mixed in with projection and hyperbole ftw right.
You need to face the music playing that is deafening you, in an anonymous interview all the other SEC coaches said that Calipari unanimously was the easiest to game plan against because of his non-changing offense and defense.
Jack gilkey even said himself why the hell is he not changing defenses he's making this too easy for me I'm not going to miss from my favorite spots and he didn't even try to put somebody in my way on my way there for the whole game.
Wake up, it's all on video tape, hogtard.
Cal being branded an "enemy" has nothing to do with winning a title, nor did he have ANYWHERE near the love for UK that Rick or Tubby did. He's branded an enemy because he turned UK into an NBA farm and insisted on shoving the "draft night first" down everyone's throats. On top of that he consistently EVERY YEAR worked to hide players from deserved criticism or to protect their draft stock, by claiming they were injured or sick, and even had the AUDACITY to ask fans to buy tickets and show up to watch a TURD Shaedon Sharpe in practice before games, KNOWING full well that he was never playing a minute for UK. Cal will always be the enemy to every single UK fan I know.

I don’t know about when people stopped talking about Tubby but the lazy Ten Loss Tubby flip came with the Cal heel turn.
Herb Tarlek II - maybe the greatest handle on RR 🤣. Well played sir, well played.
He asked fans to buy tickets to watch Shaedon Sharpe practice before games? Well can you blame him with the trouble UK has selling basketball tickets?
Wtf are you referring to, this threads a month old, provide some context if you’re going to tag me.
Was just looking at all the threads about Cal-era UK that you like to ridicule . . . but couldn’t help notice your inconsistent absense. Nothing more.
Just making sure you’re paying attention.
I have learned that I don’t need or have to respond to every thread. You find you deal with a lot fewer dumbasses like you in being more selective. I owe your chump ass nothing and need to prove to you even less. Run along now and find a new person to try to get a rise out of, I ain’t him.
Fair enough. I’ll tone down the smugness and arrogance and quit picking on you since you asked nicely. I’m not passionate about bullying you. I’m just passing through.
All the pressure Cal said he is feeling, said he was going to Jersey for a while to get away from it.
As soon as Billy Clyde started sucking and made everyone appreciate the fact that it could be worse than Tubby.
You people? Keep my name out of your mouth.
Why do you come here to listen to trash? You know what is happening here.
We got the coach I wanted.
Connecticut Yankees don't intrigue me.
Pope is one of "you people"
Let’s not confuse annoying for bullying. For bullying to occur there has to be a real or perceived imbalance of power. You don’t have any power, you’re an anonymous, random internet poster with zero effect on my life or the ability to “pick on me.”Since that’s been cleared up NOW you can run along.
