Did Reed Sheppard lose his “Lifetime Y” card?



Not sure why Reed thought the fans would find it funny .
His coach. The same one who kept him on the bench for 12-15 minutes per game while the opponent ran up up a 15 point lead. Wake up Reed. Should have played 30-35 min per game and we might not have lost in first round. Cal’s an asshole and Reed is dumber for believing Cal is his coach.
 
I believe someone said Stacy has been wearing Arkansas gear as well. Not on game day I guess but still. And we all know who wears the pants in that family.
I can't understand what the hell Stacy is saying half of the time and she does wear the pants in the family.
 
Honestly, I never really got the Reed mythologizing. People put him up there with some big names in our history. He’s even on the bittersweet symphony video now for some reason.

At the end of the day, he was a one and done that had a really nice personal season but won nothing of note for UK.
He lost in the first round of the ncaa and got torched for 27 by an insurance salesman. That’s not legendary by any means.
 
Disappointing, at best.
There was no reason to do that. Have any other of Cal's ex-players taken that attitude?
I have seen Jeff and Stacy at other games, so I don't think that their loyalties have changed.

GO CATS

Agree.

This comment makes it even worse. To think this game was something to make a "joke" about after the way his OWN one season here ended with Cal as the coach is EXTREMELY short-sighted!!!

The fans of UK buy a WHOLE LOT of former players gear when they make it to the next level, especially WHEN someone from Kentucky makes it!!! Just not a smart business move even if he didn't really care what the UK fans thought. Which is still mind boggling to me considering Cal was FORCED to actually recruit him and his dad was Coach Pope's room mate while they were at UK.

Maybe I shouldn't be, but I'm just SHOCKED by this!!!
His comment illustrates how bad the problem got with Cal. Cal and his players cared about Cal, not about UK or the fans. Now UK fans have to listen to his sanctimonious bullshit for at least one more year. Hopefully the teams meet in the tourney.
 
I saw the article today on KSR and it looks like he’s going to pull for both, which is ok when your HOME state is not playing them. He's not as loyal as I thought he was. By doing what he did, he is just like Mintz, Ty Ty and Hagens and Toppin are to me, just another university of Cal player. I just didn’t think he would ever do that, if he does that, there is no more loyalty anywhere with these kids today.

Maybe if he such an Ark fan he should start going there wearing his Ark shirt.
I wonder how many Arkansas fans have or will buy a Reed Sheppard Jersey???? I've seen PLENTY of UK fans or their kids wearing one!!!

To treat Cal going to Arky EQUIVALENT to what the UK fans base has done to support him is truly mind boggling!!

Dead to me. Accomplished nothing at Kentucky. He’s going to wish he didn’t do that when his NBA career fizzles out in a couple years and he wants to come back to Kentucky and make some money signing autographs.

So, he thought it was funny? He was supporting his coach? These kids don't hang around anywhere long enough to develop that type of loyalty. After that "dumb a" response, I am through with him. As far as I am concerned, he is an Arkansas product.
 
I knew he had love from Cal and I can’t blame him because we the fans never had a personal relationship with Cal so we look at it different .

But Reed has to read the room and know it would be a bad look .
This. Or wear Arky shorts or shoes for goodness sakes. I think had he don't that, it would've been fine. To me, and lots of others, that look says, "Arky/Cal is more important to me than UK because I'm wearing it across my chest."

ANY of the other Coach Cal guys I would have understood (although not liked it). A kid from Kentucky, whose parents played at Kentucky (the Ultimate Legacy) ... I just thought he would have thought it out better.

When Cal leaves Arkansas in 2-3 years, that picture will live forever. And Reed has no ties to Arkansas and they are one of our rivals.

If you want to support Cal, get a Coach Cal shirt. Whatever. But he is not from Arkansas, didn't play at Arkansas ... it just rubbed me the wrong way.

We all wanted to think Reed is one of us that bleeds blue but at the end of the day he turned out to be nothing more then another Calipari one and done hired gun.
He did nothing noteworthy here and certainly is no KY legend. That will only ever belong to his dad.

Oh, okay.

Reed should have definitely known better than to show his former coach and mentor respect and support. He has to act in accordance with what the extremely fragile fanbase desires. Got it!
Oh okay.

How ‘bout this.. If Reed is ignorant enough to like Triple C he could easily have gotten that point across without kissing his ass on social media and simply been quiet and respectful regarding the emotions of that game. He ‘WAS’ most every UK fans favorite player and a lot of Kentucky kids’ hero. He had no reason to spit in BBN’s faces and that’s what he did. He can take his 40+ million and cram it. He’s lost his mind.
 
Matt Jones. He is someone that I would agree to ban but not Reed Sheppard. I like him as much now as I ever did. Wish him nothing but the best.
 
He accomplished NOTHING here. Was a good 3-pt shooter who just stood around begging for the ball, and was lazy on defense. He just about mailed it in for the first round loss.
A he had an incredible number of steals . That is not being lazy on defense .
 
You know what pisses me off? Reed’s wearing the same shirt that PJ was. Coincidence? Cal can leave and start another legacy in ark if he wants, but he’s a POS for trying to bring former KY players to ark with him. All those years of bringing out old players from years and years ago to midnight madness and talking about how important it is that former players are apart of UKs program, and then he sends out shirts to former players to wear of his new school. Can guarantee he’s had them talking with recruits and pushing for Arkansas as well. **** him
