Was afraid to call a to because of freezing up Rob. Closing, we are young and he needed to get home to his dog.
Cal Post Game!
- Thread starter sluggercatfan
- Start date
He's stealing from UK at this point.
You got it. We've made this guy rich and he could give two squats
The journalists are either extremely lacking in knowledge of the game, or they have about as much integrity as Cal does.
First time in forever for me. Won't make that mistake again.

Cal does alot of 'thinking' and alot of 'shoulds' but the result is the same.
Jack Pilgrim and the other media members are afraid to take him on.
They're all spineless.
If you read this, Pilgrim, you're one of the worst media members in Kentucky history. You completely lack the courage to ask Calipari tough questions.
Can't stand to hear the man talk anymore and all the BS excuses. Sorry. Been there done that many times. Listening to him you would think we were S. Carolina trying to scrap and crawl our way out of the bottom all while totally disregarding who we have always been and that we beat better Florida teams in the past by 10 to 15 at home. The realty is this Florida team that just beat us at home isn't going to win the SEC and may not even make the NCAA tournament. That is how far we have fallen as a program under his watch the last few years. Sad really that we still have fans who defend him.
more glaring was with our guys clearly exhausted, and our only pg cramping up, you look down inside of 2 minutes left and we have 3 timeouts. that’s literally rerarded. much less calling timeout with 8 seconds down two when the court was already spread out and our best scorer in a one on one at the top of the key.
Tbf I think he said earlier this week his dog wasn’t doing well. Which I’ll cut him some slack if so. Doesn’t excuse the loss however. But that one I get if his dog his nearing the end.
I went to work one day and had to put mine down the next. Still kinda beating myself up about going to work that day.
I know that pets are like part of the family as I have one. But he should’ve stayed his ass at home if his dog is that bad off. We probably would’ve won this game had he done that.
Why do some of you all constantly make excuses for this guy? It’s like the covid year when they won 9 games….guess what every freaking team in America had to deal with Covid!
My dog of 15.5 years died on me and my wife’s anniversary last year. Talk about a punch in the gut. Never even considered not going to work the next day, goodness.
you can save A timeout. you don’t save all your time outs for the end when you have 4-5 guys playing 40 minutes with the biggest game to date a few days away. you use them to rest your players. and there’s evidence already out there when dillingham and reid were gassed against uncw where we lost.
Just like not fouling up 3 gives you a slightly better chance of winning (it's like 94% vs. 93%) I also believe they've studied calling TOP when you have the last shot and it's better not to.
I said the same thing...he takes them home in a doggie bag...he's a joke.
Missed the point - He wishes he would have stayed home so he could have spent one last day with his dog. I get it.

If that's the case then I honestly feel bad for you. Losing a dog is absolutely worth missing a single day of work. It's work, they'll survive without you for a day unless you're one of the 0.000001% of people where the world literally depends on you showing up each day.
I loved that dog like crazy, missing work the day after he died never even crossed my mind. Like I didn’t even think about it.
Man I guess I’m a heartless guy, I really don’t give a shit about Cal’s dogs at all.
He has made $27 million over the last 3 years and we have:
0 SEC Titles
0 SEC Tournament Titles (heck, only 1 win in the event!)
1 NCAA Tournament win
And I don't see us adding to these totals last year, meaning $36 over 4 years for NOTHING.

Good for you. Everyone is different. Mine was the last connection I had to my mom, who was my last family so, sue me.
If his dog is fine, I could care less.
If it’s dying, I get it. Still don’t excuse the loss by I’ll still show some empathy.
I'm sorry if his dog is old/sick. I lost my dog of 16.5 years this year. IT sucks.
BUT NOBODY CARES CAL. You get paid $9 million a year to win basketball games. Even if your dog is sick, don't mention after a loss. Keep it to yourself. And this isn't the first time he has mentioned it (after the SEC Tournament loss too).
It is like he has no PR person that he listens too. He is always sticking his foot in his mouth.
He also said he was exhausted. I'm exhausted watching this team try to play defense. He coaches basketball (and makes $9 million); nobody in the crowd listening, especially those who do actually physically exhausting jobs cares.

I’m with you man. And like I said also coming from a guy who lost his dog of close to 16 years recently. It hurts.
But we really don’t give a shit about your dog right now, man. I’m sorry but we don’t.
There are not many things that hurt worse than losing a dog. Especially one you've had for a long time and are close to.
He makes enough money to hire 2-3 head coaches to do it for him for crying out loud.
My dogs are my best friends. I had two dogs die on the same day 5 years ago. 1 was old and 1 was 2 years old and died unexpectedly while just running. I still had to go to work and make a board presentation. Then drove to the vet that night to see my “boys” and cried. Cal needs to do job.
I spent $500 and drove 8 hrs to watch that garbage tonight.
As bad as we bitched about some of the old journalist. that used to cover UK , as bad as I hate to say it,I'm starting to miss em. The performance of the current KY sports media,is a disgrace
