... so true. Many on this board have been trying to make that distinction with fellow fans here for years. Many just wouldn't listen and were/are caustic. Put the PROGRAM FIRST and everyone wins. Pretty basic stuff. Play for the name on the FRONT of the jersey and everyone wins. Cal was/is total dysfunction. Thank goodness we can just move on and breathe.
Name the top 20 recruits that play for Purdue or Uconn...... and last years Uconn or Miami... ok then the Kansas or Villanova team the year before ... or the Nova's 2 title teams. How many Final fours has Duke or UK (the 2 one and done factories) been to since the end of the 2015 season? The best NBA potential that Cal recruits are often not the best COLLEGE BASKETBALL players. We need to bring in the best players for the style of play that the next coach has.
Did Billy G have a title? Calipari didnt have a title before coming to UK... If winning a title and being good at Baylor doesnt impress you.... then you obviously think Baylor is a better school than UK
Alabama football is way bigger than UK basketball 😂😂😂
Oh so you don't know what toxic means. Cool.
U are SO full of it!! If you had gone to the SEC tournament this year you would have seen Thousands of those toxic fans screaming their lungs out for UK. At the Vandy game this year we had at least 2 to1 UK to Vandy fans on their own floor. NOBODY AND I MEAN NOBODY supports UK like our fan base. The fan base is HUGE and with ANY large group their will be a few fanatics on the fringe, to paint our spectacular fan base with the same brush as a few wing nuts on the fringe does UK a huge disservice. I can only assume you are young or haven't actually attended enough games to know what you are talking about. My wife and I were in Maui several years ago where about 80 percent of the fans were from UK. Went to the Great Alaska shootout years ago when about 90 percent were UK fans. Toxic fans MY ASS
All these posters coming out to complain about how “toxic” BBN is. 😂
I mean you can gtfo if you don’t wanna be associated with the BBN. I hear Arkansas gear is on sale cheap right now.
Good. A good man knows his limitations. We don't need any weaklings on the bench.
lol, just like I said. The coaching search is going exactly like I thought it would. We are not the same UK. CBB has changed and we are no longer the APEX.
I didn't say we weren't supportive. I said TOXIC. Just read this board. So many people get bashed for having legit opinions, our coach got zero respect and was blamed for every loss and and rarely got credit for the wins. People on here name calling in every post like they are so unhappy with themselves. It's ridiculous.
The search has gone like you thought? 0 have turned us down. No offers have been made yet. Just statements put out by coaches that mean nothing. The same ones Roy Williams put out ''I don't give a shit about North Carolina''. Nick Saban ''I don't give a damn about alabama right now''.
Alabama found out hiring someone to a high pressure job isn’t as easy as you think. Impossible to follow Saban. Easier to follow Cal but coaches see this situation. Not easy to step into.
So you have never read social media. ? It’s like that everywhere?? That’s what happens when unstable guys in the basement have a voice. If you can’t handle rivals, stay far away from twitter X.
UK has some of the best fans and some of the worst fans. Like most things are a mixed bag. I admit that although I think kids should have more power and flexibility than they had in the past (to change schools and/or make money) it is changing the game in a way that is not nearly as fun as when I was a kid. Hopefully they will put some guardrails up and calm things down and this will just be a wild west time we look back on.
You might wanna reconsider this statement. Hiring Pope backs up everything I said and it is official. We are now Indiana. Get ready for several more years of bad teams. Throw in some NIT appearances in there as well.
Me and 3 buddies have laughed a lot the past couple days at your remarks. You’re becoming our celebrity because of your moments 😂
No ... you don't need the best players. You need to sober up from the Kalipari Kool-Aid. Cal's system and his "ways" are YESTERDAY. Pope's system isn't just TODAY, it's also TOMORROW. Have a little faith and go look at some BYU film and see it action. One of the better X's and O's coach out there today that had to play against Pope and BYU was Kelvin Sampson and he said Pope's system he ran at BTU was damned near impossible to defend. Cal was selling a "brand" than can't be sustained ... Pope is running a system that can't be defended and you don't need 5 stars. Pope @ UK will get 5 stars, IF HE WANTS THEM, but it's about who fits his system. His system wins.
How so? Oates said he was interested, Donovan said he was interested, and Pearl already had a for sale sign in his yard and was hitchhiking.
Doubling down huh? Your other thread was stupid so you dig up another idiotic one. Gave up on the other one?
