Did Reed Sheppard lose his “Lifetime Y” card?

Jeff is in wealth management and is pretty successful from what I know. He should be okay.
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 can't understand what the hell Stacy is saying half of the time and she does wear the pants in the family.
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.
If he were the Y tomorrow he would get booed, I bet.
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

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!!
Reed Sheppard explains decision to wear Arkansas shirt: ‘That’s my coach’ - Nation of Blue
Kentucky fans were in an uproar last night after the Houston Rockets posted a pregame picture of Reed Sheppard wearing an Arkansas t-shirt with Kentucky shorts. The image exploded on social media leading to shock and confusion from Big Blue Nation on an already confusing night. The confusion...

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.Reed Sheppard explains decision to wear Arkansas shirt: ‘That’s my coach’ - Nation of Blue

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."
Image matters whether you like it or not. Try wearing your company's competitor logo to work and see how well that works for you.
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.

He ain’t one of us, hope he never shows his face in Rupp again.
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.
A he had an incredible number of steals . That is not being lazy on defense .
Bottom line is that as players and fans ... you BLEED BLUE or you don't. There's no in between. JMO.
You didn't play for him at Ark and you are from Kentucky. Not to mention both your parents played for Kentucky. Big miss step. I lost some respect for him.
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
There is far more to playing defense than getting an occasional steal. Terrible defender.
This is an incredible analogy.
Imagine you're going into an important pitch to an important prospective client. You start your presentation with materials that have branding from both your current company and your previous one that is now competition for this same client.
Does anyone think that would be appropriate? Would it help if you explained "my former boss works there now"? Of course not. Youd be fired as you should be.
To make matters worse, cal only offered reed to shut fans up. Didn't want to play him. Literally dogged him in the media more than once.
I'm from London.
We might yank that shirt off your back and stick it in your daddy's mouth.
Traitor ass bullshit.
His support dried up like his mommy pie for daddy.
In other words it was a bad mistake putting that ****ing shirt on. You will never live that down my friend lololol.
NEVER Mfer

This is a dumb argument. Reed was AWFUL against Oakland. Also regardless of what you think about Cal, from an objective standpoint Reed was drafted in the top 3 after one season with him. I think it’d be insane for him not to appreciate Cal. Our fans are ****ing ridiculous at times. Are we really this angry about someone supporting their coach, who they obviously have an allegiance to as anyone would??
Did you feel this way when Derrick Rose came to a UK shootaround? It ain’t that deep man
The folks that are still
I know people are passionate about UK bball. I love it. I’ve loved it as far back as I can remember. But some people are acting like Reed chose the wrong side in the freaking Civil War. He wore a damn tshirt while still repping UK shorts. Yes, it’s not a great look, but it’s not near as serious as some of you folks are still making it out to be.
He should’ve just worn Arky shorts too as far as I’m concerned. I can’t think of him the same, and I was a huge fan of the kid, since I grew up and live in Pike Co. I just couldn’t believe what I was seeing when I first saw the pic. I always try to keep everything in life in its proper perspective, but this was just short sighted and not smart by Reed. I hope Jeff gets in his ear about this, and tells him he needs to apologize to the fans and do his best to restore his UK loyalty. I don’t want to feel ill toward the kid.
Yup. Whenever he went for steals he literally gambled and left his assignment wide open.
We didn’t have good defensive players last year. If we did we wouldn’t have lost to an Oakland team that barely beat Detroit Mercy.
It was just TyTy and Toppin's former team so their comments are more understandable. However it was Reed's favorite school growing up. It was his dads alma matter where he won a title and is a UK legend. It was his mom's alma matter where she is a legend. It is the state school where he lives. It is where fans stood for hours and spent a lot of money for his autograph signings last year. It was where fans spent a lot of money buying his jersey for their kids who idolized him. It is where businesses spent tens of thousands of dollars for his endorsement that went into his pocket. No it wasn't just his former team.
Drew Franklin said it on the KSR pre game show.
