I’m older and colder so I’m going with Bo Lanter and Jarred Polson.
I have NEVER seen Derrick Rose wear a UK shirt. And UK hasn’t played Memphis since Cal left there. Reed wore that shirt on the day that UK played his former coach. Now, if Reed would have worn that Arkansas shirt on a day that the Hogs played UT, our fans would have no problem with it.
It’s bad optics 100% and poor logic on Reed’s part, but some of the stuff I’ve seen fans say is wayyyyyyy too far
He would have never been remembered like Givens or Walker. Because they actually accomplished things at UK Reed did not. He might have been remembered that way if he had returned and actually had some notable success at UK.
Dude got 30 Million dollars. Im pretty sure he is not gonna be back here begging to sign autographs for money if he never plays another minute in the NBA.
More than that. His first contract’s worth around $46 million.
I may be wrong here, but I think he is supportive of Cal because he feels Cal made him rich.
It rubbed BBN collective the wrong way ... because it was wrong. My father taught me many years ago, folks from Kentucy, especially the mountains, once they have given you their loyalty and trust, it is there forever through good and bad times ... unless you betray that loyalty and trust. Once betrayed, it's best to just run. No exceptions. Loyalty and commitment are a precious commodity. Player loyal to the University through good times and bad should and can expect love and support to the end of their days from BBN and businesses within the Bluegrass. It's just the way it is and has always been. A dumbshit like Calipari will never understand it as well as the dumbshits in the sports media. Looking at you Greenberg, you dumbass.
I guess you could argue that Cal actually cost him money too though. So, I guess it's a wash.
Exactly. Thank you for having common sense.
I kind of agree with you on this. However; Reed has had time to at least attempt some damage control and he’s just crickets. And his mom quoting scripture is enough. They’re too much and they can take their new money and run far away. We don’t need them.
oh ... I meant the SEC tourney. Cal might flame out and not make the big dance...again.
They help stroke that ego because they also think they are bigger than the program hence all of the trouble and complaints to begin with. They have been told they are the greatest thing since the invention of the pocket on a shirt. They came here for the coach and not the program. So I understand they want to back their coach but they should also understand to do it with class. Most have some haven't.
Reed’s 21. He got a 40+ million dollar contract which is lifetime filthy rich wealth for he and his family. He did a REALLY stupid thing. PLEASE don’t tell me he didn’t know he was spitting in the face of the BBN. He’s old enough and smart enough to know he made an ass wipe move. But people like you don’t get it. He doesn’t need or care about UK or the BBN. As they say in basketball…. he got his. GBB.
