Cal Just Can't Stop Talking Kentucky

[Mike-McD]

Quit taking up your brain power by trying to be bad ass. No one cares. If you dont believe me, fine. I still go to games and enjoy my life. What a dick!!

Temper temper, son. Definitely hit a nerve.

In response to the Chandler Vessels article, Cal can't stop reflecting on his Kentucky days. He is now talking about Tyler Herro at Kentucky. He knows he wasted a golden opportunity with his extremely talented Sheppard and Dillingham team but he will never admit it. It seems like he is using Tyler Herro's success in the NBA to somehow remind people that Sheppard and Dillingham weren't his first big NBA draft surprises. However, it isn't the same because he wasn't playing much lesser players in front of Herro. Cal just needs to spend his time talking more about Arkansas and less about anything Kentucky. If Kentucky does well under Pope's leadership, he will want to take credit for the Pope hire. Lol

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.

Maybe it’s just me, but supporting true blue would not be supporting a guy who left for a rival, took the team with him, left Kentucky totally gutted, tried to leave during the middle of the season potentially killing our year, and a guy who talked down to Kentucky fans and nicknamed us things like Basketball Bennies.

I hear you but in this case no, I’m not supporting that because I’m a Kentucky fan.

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.

Rick flipped us off
Coached at UL

YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME

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.

You are NOT a Kentucky fan you don’t support UK in any way im willing to bet you never attended UK again Sorry. You’re a casual bandwagon guy who has no loyalty and you pick and choose based off winning. That’s not what a real UK fan does it’s not what a real fan does of any team. Real Alabama fans and alumni would tell you the same. You’re a Walmart bandwagon t-shirt fan. So you can save the bs.

Been easy to see since I signed up

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.

You can move me on if you think you can.

AYO tough guy alert!

 

[BucN1Cat]

The fact that it bothers you only motivates me to deliver you more, just for you. Lol

Move on dude

 

[LmdCat]

Move on dude

"Move on dude"! How much gray matter did you lose to achieve such a high intellectual state?

 

[LmdCat]

Hahahaha wow. Cal’s swagger turned you out bad.

Wait a second, aren’t you an Alabama football fan? UK basketball, Alabama football, now Arkansas as a second team?

You realize you’re not a real UK fan….right?

He really doesn't know what he is. He is waiting for Cal to tell him.

 

[BigBlueTrue75]

To be fair, you’re still talking about Cal

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😅

I dislike Cal as much or more than most. I never liked the guy from day one, but I believe his success allowed him to get away with being so unlikeable. However, there is a part of me that can't help but feel a bit sorry for the guy because he is human beneath lots of layers. This is a man that realizes even more than we do that he has lost his superpower which is what has, is, or will happen to us all. Unfortunately for Cal, he is such a difficult person to like, that it makes it very difficult to have any sympathy for him.

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)

Vitriol? LOL at how stupid this one is. What vitriol did you receive dumb boy? Oh wait, you’re too stupid to say.

You act like a team can’t have multiple goals. The truth is a large portion of this message board are trash and have torn down every coach we’ve had. You people are the reason it’s difficult to bring in a top level coach because you are seen as the biggest negative to this program. That’s how trash you people are.

Right because there will never be a hot shooter that faces us. Again, LOL at how stupid these raftards are. You will be trash Pope within the next 5 years. That’s just who you are.

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.
