Grossest stat that shows how far we've fallen in our own conference

I've been a very big Cal supporter for most of his time here, but these last few years his successful team management has sucked!!!!!!
He can have all of the top recruiting classes in the world BUT if he's coaching them down to 10+ loss seasons and quick tournament exits he needs to go!!!
Recruit the #30-#100, take your lumps and build something long term........
Oops, CJVC would still be the coach, nevermind...........

During 2016-2020 we at least won 3 SEC tournament titles, 3 SEC regular season titles and made the NCAA tournament all 5 years with 2 Elite 8's and 3 Sweet 16's. While 2016-2020 wasn't on the level of 2010-2015 it was light years better than 2021-2024 has been.
I mean I get it. I liked Cal a lot. I’m sad it’s come to this. But I love UK Ball more than any coach.
The issue is when you are present with facts and you deny them. That’s the issue. This is subjective. It’s not like we’re talking about Renaissance artists here. Nor authors. We’re talking about the decline of a program whose decline can be factually measured and has been. When some looks at that and goes “you’re a bad.fan for bringing that up” and then tells me to stfu? That’s called propaganda.
Damn right I’m fighting back.
Yep, agree. It is hard to believe how inept they are defensively. The fact that he won't either leverage his depth and press teams to death or move to a zone, leverage length and potentially increase their stamina to improve even more offensively is just mind boggling.
Just go zone. Seriously...what, are teams going to average 84 ppg vs us like they have the past 10 games?
I don't get it. It is as if he is scared of his own shadow. He literally said something about inserting a zone to get Ivisic on the court...then nothing. It is infuriating.
I was keeping a running count on it but I’m thinking the Tennessee loss puts us at 26-37 against ranked teams since 2015 .
Let's just agree we should have better outcomes based on the money we are paying.
I could say the same thing. What was your last alias before you melted down and got lead away in a straightjackett? 🤣
Someone send this post to Cal. He should really care about the money fans are dropping on our team. The one that he coaches. He spends so much time lecturing the fans on how to be a real fan. He’s ignorant. He doesn’t get it it. Doesn’t register. Do the post game no matter what, it’s the job. If you aren’t embarrassed enough to fix glaring issues / you should’ve be too embarrassed to sit in front of a hundred people and answer a few questions.
LOL nobody has to "LOOK" for reasons to bash Cal. His failures are evident for the world to see.
There you go again. Scolding the Cal critics while giving the Calbois a pass. Your tell is so obvious. I wish I could play poker with you for, like, a million bucks.
LOL this from a guy with an account barely 2 months old
I really have tried to not even talk about Cal the last several seasons, but it’s too hard at this point. If the Cats don’t pump Vandy by 20+ tomorrow, I’ll probably just chill from this place until the SECT.
Cal was trolling the Bennies when he said he was going to run some zone....so he could play Z.
That lying mfer sure hasn't played any zone, and guess what?? He has parked Z at the end of his bench....down in the doghouse section with JB.
Yeah, having Calipari as your coach.
(edit): Sorry, I should have read the other replies before replying.
I mean is he even aware that he was teeing this up this easily?
Guess you missed the details where I specifically included both sides (huggers/haters) in my post.
The bottom line is, and I've made this statement many times, the Cal critics are exponentially WAY more dickish and obsessive than the "bois", as you call them. This isn't a cover for any Cal love on my part, because if have you paid any attention to anyone besides yourself or your obsession with "catching" people in their Cal Love Closets, you'd know that I've had my moments of calling for Cal to hit the road, especially last year and the 6-19 seasons. Not as much this year because he appeared to have had something going, so I opted to save myself anxiety and let it play out. But the last 2 weeks has nearly brought back my disdain for Cal's failures (I say "nearly" because there's still a chance we recover, albeit not likely with Cal at helm, so this may be short lived). I just won't be running around being an asshole or calling out people because they have different opinions, or are still hanging/clinging to hope that somehow Cal is going to change his ways and bring back UK ball to our liking. Keep in mind that there are a lot of people that are afraid of both keeping or losing Calipari because the unknown is more scary than just status quo. Not making excuses for anyone, but people have different personalities that seem to get totally stomped on if someone doesn't run around hair on fire cussing and belittling others.
The theme you need to take away from this is - I am calling out the way people are being towards each other, not the context. I don't jab at peoples' opinions, but rather their baiting and incessant bitching. Your style, approach and just general demeanor is, well, that of an asshat. Same goes with many of the folks here begging and pleading for Cal do essentially die or go away. Unfortunately for you, the "haters" are more prominent, louder, and simply nastier than the "bois", which is very likely why you see me poking more at one side than the other (there are WAY more of you than the BOIS nowadays than there were 2 years ago!). This isn't me electing to only jab at those that absolutely hate Calipari, it's just the law of averages - you and the aggressive haters are posting hundreds of threads and topics a day - hell one even posted a thread supposedly for just the Sunshine Pumpers, but then lived in it all day bitching about Cal. Woulda been funny if it weren't so repetitive and redundant.
Speaking of dickish. What ever happened to kybassfan? He was as dickish as anybody. Haven’t seen him in a while.
Totally forgot about him and his asshattery. He wasn't even around before we hit this two-week free fall so I guess he's banned or canned or just all in all quit the board.
tl;dr
IDG enough of AF to read that screed. You protest too much. Your actions speak louder than your diarrhea of the keyboard.
But think about all of the increased time Cal has gotten to spend with his dogs because of the early SEC and NCAA tournament exits the last few years. That’s what it’s all about. Some of you are so insensitive and heartless.
Hey, not to sidetrack your go with TheDude73 there, but just curious whether you have a favorite place to play poker near KY (your avatar and statement about poker made me think you probably play a bit)?
Someone said we were 48-40 over the last few years against P5 competition (+ Gonzaga). That's what's gross.
I used to go to the boat in Elizabeth IN but now I live in Florida. We just now got gambling legalized. We couldn't even have a home game b/c there was a Supreme Court case that basically outlawed them.
Once at the boat I saw Bobby Perry come in and sit 1-2 No Limit Hold'Em.
No need to ask you that, BallerCal, Dunya C Dubya, Cardsstink, jload, etc. You probably don't want to get into that stuff. Stop swinging from Cal's nuts and looking foolish.
