I’m just glad I don’t throw myself on the floor and give up like so many people do. Who dresses them??

And? Oats had the number 1 overall seed last year. He’s proven he can put together great teams at Bama. Him having that same team at UK wouldn’t make it any more likely they win it all.
Well, in all fairness, BCG was fired for much more than just numbers.
Ask Jorts how he liked being locked in a shitter stall until he got "tough enough".
And the drinking and some rumors that he came to practice hungover and sometimes even drunk.
Not at all defending Cal or making a case for him to stay - just saying using numbers and citing BCG's firing isn't even apples to apples.
It takes more than on court performance to win a title is what I am saying..... it takes $$$. money that Bama did not and will not spend in basketball there fore they have 0% chance at a title ........ some team like houston or UCONN , Kansas etc will have the refs because they will pay the $$$$ and Bama wont. Bama needs that money because football is expensive AF.
Kentucky will spend that money if he can rally the boosters and support. but it will take barnhart making a pledge to put basketball first again
This is the most likely scenario if Cal leaves this year.
Okay and in 21 seasons, a murder 22 years ago has prevented them from getting past the 2nd round?
Even if we gave him a 5 year grace period to recover from the murder, that is still only 5 trips past the 2nd round in 16 seasons.
TBF the Covid year the tourney got canceled they were for sure making the 2nd weekend. They may have won it
If they win it that year, those dudes probably all bolt and don't come back the following year, so it's really a wash.
Either way, his resume does not impress me in the slightest.
When was the last time someone was an insider on this message board and what they said came true?
It's been a long time and frankly in this day and age I feel like the rumors would be a lot louder and not coming from a new 2023 poster on Rupp Rafters.
I'll pass but hope your right.

That was gonna be my next point, that Baylor team that won was one of the better college teams I have watched. I like Drew but he isn’t my number choice. I go back and forth on Oates a lot, sometimes I really like the idea of him then other times his style scares me off because of the boom or bust potential of it. Right now I lean Oates as the number one choice
It's so very sad that it would not Shock me with this talent and that Vanderbilt team you would think it's impossible. But I would not be shocked at all. Infuriated sure, but not shocked.
No shit. People on this board act like it is real life and everyone is a middle school girl. Someone says "I heard" and then everyone debates whether the person really heard it. If you were an insider or had access to inside information, you are not on this board, where every thread, no matter the subject, turns into either a "I hate Cal and he should be fired" thread, or two people arguing back and forth about what each of them actually said ("show me where I said that"?)
That would be a big NO from me on Donovan. He turned us down twice. He doesn't get a third time to do it. Absolutely NOT!!!
I heard he had to be practically carried out of Malone’s more than once.
With the way Kentucky defends, we will get torched by those 2 guards they have. Kentucky still might be able to score enough to get a win, but it will be way tougher then it should be
Big east makes sec look like kindergarten? You think they are a better conference?
I look at the big east as a joke to be honest. Usually 3/4 good schools
I said Saturday night, we could have lost everyone's focus and the whole season. It wasn't pretty
Kentucky should win Tuesday, vandy are the worst team of conference or the 2nd worst. It’s a game they have to win, but the defense is so bad I have no doubt Kentucky will let them get well above what they average
Clyde was a horrible hire. On paper he looked ok but holy hell did nobody vet his character or check references?
Hey Bigfoot and I take offense to your last sentence lol🤪
Think we all know this is bullshit. Not how Mitch works unless there were some other major stuff going on.
Well first of all Cal would not have played Miller because he would be afraid he would get hurt. The kid you speak of brought the gun to the murder in his car. Oats and Boosters worked their magic with the Tuscaloosa PD and DA to have no charges brought so he could play because they thought Alabama had a chance for a NC with him. Second the gun was transported across Campus in his car which is another crime. I live in Alabama and Oats is a tool. If you think winning basketball games is more important than character then you need your priorities adjusted
Is this thread going to get my hopes up again like that Ortho guy's post last year that didn't come to pass?
That being said, it doesn't have to be either fire him or he quits. If he has any tiny bit of respect for our program, they can come to a mutual agreement.

I feel sorry for anyone who’s thought process led them to get their hopes up based on an anonymous “scoop” by a new poster.

What are you not impressed with winning 38% of the games at Nebraska in 5 seasons?
I think it's just the perception that if someone can have national success at a smaller, less intense program, why would he choose to accept the headaches that come with being Kentucky's coach. I agree you have to ask him but I'd guess his situation is pretty good.
The gun was already in the car and miller returned to pick up those he had dropped earlier. He didn’t go and pick up a gun and bring to the scene. There was zero evidence that miller knew anything was about to take place and you spewing that oats and boosters worked their magic is nothing more than BS. You don’t know the intricate details of anything that took place, just your “take” on things. And for the record, neither do I.
You are buying what the DA put out there to keep him on the team. The only facts you have are what the Media was told. So bottom line my facts are as factual as yours. We suspended players for having one of those fake guns on campus. Do you have any idea he was sitting in the car facing the car of the person that got murdered. As soon as he saw his friend took out a gun any reasonable person would have got the hell out of there. And on top of that the murderer was a Bama basketball player.
Yeah pretty much. I hope OP is correct but I have my doubts about a meeting occurring at this juncture etc.
Did Texas A&M’s fan base leave us a blueprint of how to veto a potential head coaching hire?
First of all how UK handles things VS how others handle is completely irrelevant. I’ve read the facts of the case and they are pretty clear. Also the person who was murdered was sitting in a car behind millers car, not in the front of it. You are assuming miller knew his friend pulled a gun out of the car. The “he had to know” theory isn’t proof he knew anything. I don’t know the real story or even pretend to know as you are.
