Cal says, "we're not losing a game this year"

That's ok. It probably shows up darker on my screen.
 
Where does it say in that article Cal predicts an undefeated season? I hope you don't mean the following quote--because if you do, you read it completely wrong...

"We’re not losing a game this year because a guy tries to catch a ball with one hand and it goes out of bounds," Coach Cal said. "We may lose a game another way, but not that way. We always rebound and catch with two hands."
 
Not sure if that's the context of that quote but I'd still love to see it. I'm pretty excited to see what this team can do.

#WeAin'tLosing

I know some of you guys are joking--but some of you are clearly not... so let's try to clarify this a bit.

Here's the full quote from Metz Camfield's practice report from CoachCal.com (in which A Sea of Blue was paraphrasing in the article posted by the op).
  • During one warmup drill a player dropped a pass because, according to Calipari, the pass was too hard and the player tried to catch the pass with one hand. “We’re not losing a game this year because a guy tries to catch a ball with one hand and it goes out of bounds,” Coach Cal said. “We may lose a game another way, but not that way. We always rebound and catch with two hands."
You guys are taking what Cal said completely out of context. He's telling the guys that a game will not be lost DUE to someone only using one hand to rebound/catch a pass (one of Coach Cal's big pet peeves in case you didn't know)... I dunno how people read this quote thinking Cal is saying the Cats are going undefeated.

UK is a top five team but they will take some losses. Our team is elite but they aren't going to win every game. However they can go one game further than last year.
 
While this is a funny thread.. Rival fans will take this and bash us for it all year if we lose a game because they wont care about the context at all

They bash us regardless, so who cares?

This season has the potential to end somewhere in the Elite Eight or Final Four, while all those rival fans will be watching from home after Kansas, UNC, Indiana, and Louisville flame out once again. Screw 'em, let's go 40-0.
 
You are exactly right. Threads like this just make our fans look dumb.
You're one of the most pessimistic fans on this board. I don't think I've ever seen you say one positive thing. Who cares if people have a little fun and joke around? We're the best program of all time, we don't have to answer to any other fan base in the country. My advice would be to enjoy being the top dog and lighten up a bit.
 
I'd love to see another undefeated regular season. But as long as we are challenging each other, I could care less if we lost several games in the regular season, as a learning experience for the big dance.

I double everything.. And the 40-0 bullshit cost us a title last year.. If they'd lost a game prior to the sec or even in the sec tournament,, we'd breezed through to the championship.. Let Indiana keep that unbeaten record.. I want none of it.. Especially nowadays with 40 games to play..
40-0 lost us everything? Loser talk.
