Yes he absolutely did. I know you just get on here to argue with people but you just flat out lie constantlyit is. He didn't say what this guy says he said.

Kentucky was a big deal nationally and if you go back and check before ESPN etc, UK got more air time nationally than any other team, the closes rival for TV time would have been UNC with Dean Smith.
did you watch the video?Yes he absolutely did. I know you just get on here to argue with people but you just flat out lie constantly
I truly believe he's dumb enough to not know basic geography. I believe Cal is getting these guys to drag us, or silently loving it. He showed his disdain for us a million times.Yeah, I saw that clip a few days ago and this afternoon Marques Teague just said that Cal made Kentucky and he never heard of Kentucky before Cal. My guess with Teague and his lack of success in his 4 years in the NBA Cal paid him. But they can just go down to Arkansas and hang out with Cal we don't need them. Hell now that Cal is gone maybe more of the old time players will start coming back more, because Cal did not exactly throw out the welcome mat for them.
I don't think the players that matter will. When is the last time you saw Jamal Murray, SGA, Fox, Davis and Booker back in Lexington? Not expecting them in Fayetteville either. They are the face of Kentucky pros that matter in the eye of younger players. Wall has said the right things and Davis will always have a special place in BBN's heart for bringing back our last National Championship. Maxey & Quickley might be the only two of the youngers ones that I know of that they might associate with Kentucky on the larger scale and young kids definitely know of being here within the last 5 years. So far, I haven't seen anything ignorant by them and don't think we will. They seemed to have a good head on their shoulders.Who says Arkansas fans will appreciate ex-UK players hanging around anyway. The fans have no love for them.
If we are lucky, TAPE DELAY!Too bad Kentucky basketball will no longer be on television. 😢 Looks like we'll have to do radio like the good old days.
"Kentucky won't be on TV anymore, it's going to be hard to get a kid to go to Kentucky if they're not on TV," Cousins said. "What kids are looking for in today's time is what's hot, what's cool, what's relevant. I want to be on TV every night to show my talent. Guess what team is going to be on TV every night?“did you watch the video?
Very good post.Cousins is forgetting that Cal will retire, and Arkansas fans won’t give a damn about Cousins or any of these Kentucky players that are currently alienating themselves. They will end up not having a college program to truly call home.
Cal is NOT the University of Kentucky!!!
Didn’t your momma tell you not to forget where came from? It holds true here as well.
Wasn’t it Sean Woods who blew up at one of the early Calipari teams for not understanding the history and tradition?Cal created an environment that caused those guys that played for him to think that way. When it’s all about the NBA and Cal had no respect for our programs history. That’s a horrible combination. “Draft nights the greatest night in program history” not taking up for Rupp when Keon wanted Rupps name taken down, etc.
I honestly can’t rememberWasn’t it Sean Woods who blew up at one of the early Calipari teams for not understanding the history and tradition?
Of course it will be on Kentucky. Always has and always will be! Are you new to Kentucky Basketball ball?A big deal to us? Of course.
A big deal nationally? Not really.
A big deal when right before Cal got here? Absolutely not.
What he’s saying is, we won’t be what we were during Cal’s tenure. And it’s hard to argue that. The grand national spotlight won’t be focused on UK basketball.
Why do you keep repeatedly lying about this?it is. He didn't say what this guy says he said.

You about as dumb as him.. He meant exactly what he said.. Restard..A big deal to us? Of course.

He’s admitted that his whole purpose for getting on this site is to argue with people. He says it keeps his mind sharp. You’ll never find him discussing basketball, it’s always an argumentWhy do you keep repeatedly lying about this?
Yes. He did say it. Word for word. In a recorded interview. Unfortunately.
If Calipari had stayed at Memphis, Boogie never would have been a Wildcat. He followed him here and would have gone anywhere he became coach. He does not have any love for UK or any other university.These guys won't give a damn about the Arkansas program without Calipari. They don't care about it now just like Kentucky. It was only a pit stop to build their brand and jet off to the league. Their allegiance is to Cal. I can't tell you how good it is to move on from this era. At least John Wall is rational about it.
My friend, Kentucky Basketball is Collage Basketball. We have been one of greatest programs in all of sports history for a long time and that will always be. I’m sorry you’re not feeling it but it is absolutely 1000% true. Thank you and I need you to do some research on Kentucky Basketball before continuing this conversation. Thanks again.That’s simply not true. And you know it.

Ok little guy. Go on to bed now it’s late and you got church in the morning. You have a great night. You dream of how bad Kentucky Basketball is and sleep well. You win. We are the worst program in all of basketball. Is that better?You sound ridiculous buddy.
You don’t know much about basketball apparentlySo you want to go back to when we had 3 channels? Cmon bro.
Cousins didn't choke in the 2010 WVU NCAA game. You can turn on Cousins but at least try to be factual.If he hadn’t choked in 2011 Cats would have won a title
How old are you?A big deal to us? Of course.
A big deal nationally? Not really.

Yeah, and as I seem to recall, he was also agitated by how they behaved at some sort of function at the time. And he made the PR mistake of mentioning it afterward.Wasn’t it Sean Woods who blew up at one of the early Calipari teams for not understanding the history and tradition?
The video attached to the OP must have been truncated. If I'm wrong, I own it, but I clicked on OPs tweet and watched that video and he didn't say that."Kentucky won't be on TV anymore, it's going to be hard to get a kid to go to Kentucky if they're not on TV," Cousins said. "What kids are looking for in today's time is what's hot, what's cool, what's relevant. I want to be on TV every night to show my talent. Guess what team is going to be on TV every night?“

Demarcus Cousins talks Calipari: 'Arkansas will now be the hotspot'
Former Kentucky basketball player Demarcus Cousins talks about Arkansas' hiring of John Calipari.arkansas.rivals.com
Which is wild for a guy who spent a year here.I loved Cuz as a player, but he’s not the brightest bulb in the pack.
He doesn’t seem to understand that Kentucky basketball was already a huge deal LONG before Calipari ever showed up.
I'm not "you people" guy. If you think I have to kiss his ass while he's dissing us it says a lot more about you than me.The starting pg of our last National Champion… 🤣🤣
You people are too much.
You can simply disagree with him without the insults.
Truth of the matter is. Marquis chose to come to UK because of Cal, like most of the players from the last 15 yrs. And he worked hard, won games, and supported UK.
An All American from Indianapolis or Chicago or NYC isn’t coming to UK because of tradition. It’s a business decision.
Actually it was Cal letting jack up 3 after 3 after missed 3 and didn't really utilize boogie, yet he still loves him 🤷If he hadn’t choked in 2011 Cats would have won a title
We’ve had two Elite 8’s and a sweet Sixteen since y’all have made it out of the first weekend. “Desperate for relevance”…the irony.They’re so desperate for relevance. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were completely ok with it.
OMG 🤦♂️ Your response proves my point. A UK fan would NEVER celebrate a few elite 8’s and one sweet sixteen. Jesus dude, are you really hanging your hat on the past three seasons. I suppose that’s a rhetorical question. Of course you are. You have to. Otherwise, you don’t have anything to argue about.We’ve had two Elite 8’s and a sweet Sixteen since y’all have made it out of the first weekend. “Desperate for relevance”…the irony.
Most players care for their coach. Cousins did not have a bad game against WVU. 15 points and about 10 rebounds.Actually it was Cal letting jack up 3 after 3 after missed 3 and didn't really utilize boogie, yet he still loves him 🤷
