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

[CatPhight]

I checked. Guy appeared to be older than me!
some folks have drunk the koolaid so much that they think Cal is UK Ball.

I don’t get those people. They’re like the people who follow around a minister when he leaves a church. It’s weird.

Ask them what their favorite adjustment is that Cal makes at halftime...

 

[Mike-D]

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"

Agree to disagree.

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

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.

I won't even try to unpack that gibberish.

 

[TheDude73]

Agree to disagree.

Well then feel free to tag me every time a "boi" posts something as derogatory as a "hater". I'll be perfectly fine to poke at them as well.

Yeah, they run around bashing anyone that questions Cal. I know because a couple of them like to randomly tag me in their dumbass posts. Just because they aren't doing it at this very moment, doesn't mean much. Kinda hard to deflect when you get your ass beat at Rupp two games in a row.

And some of these same Cal defenders have been bashing the players for years. Anything to deflect for Saint Cal.

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.

Played with Denny Crum once in IN. (Southern Ind. Ceasars/Horseshoe).

 

[bbncal02]

Someone said we were 48-40 over the last few years against P5 competition (+ Gonzaga). That's what's gross.

That’s what a lot of folks are complaining about as well. You lose to a T5 team here and there and it’s not that big of a deal. You can’t constantly lose to P5 teams.

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)?

Where do you play poker?

 

[TheDude73]

You decided to click on a thread giving a statistic that looks bad on Calipari, so what did you expect to read in it? You were definitely a participation trophy kid if you played any sports at all. This is KENTUCKY basketball. Try going to another blue blood programs board when times are bad like they have been for years here. Sorry buddy but you’re not going to find happy people. It won’t be sunshine and rainbows “Dude”. SMH my god some of you people come up with some of the most random shit to complain about. “Oh my god people had bad things to say about Cal in a thread that statistically proves he isn’t doing good at his job recently!!! The sky is falling!!!!!”

Says the person typing three paragraphs complaining about someone complaining.

I just tell what I think. I could have easily directed that at a handful of you all. I can’t help but think your opinions and the handful of others in that category are strange. But you may feel the same about mine and I’m fine with that. We just disagree. It is what it is

I don’t know the first thing about you.

 

[fisherscatfan]

When you have “fans” posting this stupidity, no wonder Cal gets a pass from so many.

 

[TheDude73]

I’m on here all the time so it’s not hard to figure out my opinions. Lmao damn you’re weird

I’ve seen your handle but you aren’t that much of a poster. I’m only on here now and then but usually in bursts, then off to life outside of message boarding cesspools.

Sorry if I come off as being hateful. I’m really not but I think I can sound that way on here.

 

[Jmeeks54thebest]

Boy how quickly these threads go from "Cal sucks" to fan "stupid Cal nut huggers" or "sunshine pumpers" insults.

It's like we're obsessed with berating each other instead of focusing energy on something else, you know, like how do we get out of this Cal mess at Kentucky (with something new and novel, not dead horse beating)? Not one thread these days about hating or supporting Cal is void of one of us veering off on the "huggers/haters are idiots", "how do we convince them...they're not convincible", or "what say ye Cal hugger/hater?!?".

Not everyone is confrontational or enjoys confrontations. The more vocal ones around here are - they have no issues confronting and arguing and name calling.

Welcome to America where confrontation and division is our new way of life.

There’s nothing new about division and confrontation in America. It’s been around for a while and it’s going to stay around for a long long time.

A divided population is easier to control.

I gave the Vandy tickets away (Sr day). I think the problem is there is still demand on Ticketmaster. Cheapest lower levels for Gonzaga (comparable to mine are $560 each). That’s just crazy. The Zags aren’t even that good. I could list mine for $400 each and they would be gone as soon as the Vandy game is over. Wife wants to go but as long as there are buyers on the secondary market it would be hard to throw away an easy $720 (Ticketmaster takes 10%).

If the secondary market dried up- then UK would see significant non renewals.

Edit- prices fell since yesterday. Lowest prices are around $350 each.

I can't imagine spending that amount of cash on the garbage we are producing right now.🤪

Listening to KSR and they just shared that UK has the 11th best record in the SEC tournament since 2018. We are 2 - 4 since 2018, what a joke.

I know that, we lose our first round matchup every year it feels like.

Where do you play poker?

Casinos occasionally (although poker rooms are becoming scarcer). These days mainly Cincinnati, and Tampa a few times a year.

I used to break it down 2010 - 2015 and then post 2015 when talking about Cal. Now, I almost feel there were three phases:

2010 - 2015
2016 - 2020
2021 - 2024

2010 - 2015
.833 overall winning percentage
.804 SEC winning percentage
6 combined SEC regular season and tournament titles
1 NCAA Title
1 Runner -up
2 Final Fours

2016 - 2020
.782 overall winning percentage
.766 SEC winning percentage
6 combined SEC regular season and tournament titles
2 Elite Eights
1 Sweet 16

2021 - 2024
.607 overall winning percentage
.650 SEC winning percentage
0 combined SEC regular season and tournament titles
0 Sweet 16's

2016 - 2020 still seemed promising to me. A step back, but a couple really good teams. 2021 on just seems like there is nothing positive moving forward.

It's like Cal was great coach, good coach and drunk all in one tenure.

French Lick Indiana is my favorite. It’s 100% smoke free. West Baden Springs Resort on the property is an awesome hotel to stay in as well.

This is how I’ve been looking at it. I was also curious from another thread, and looked at the draft picks the last 3 seasons. The highest pick was a guy who sat on the bench. Only one other lotto pick- Wallace. I don’t care about the nba or draft, but Cal’s system needs those high end guys to have success.

So in all areas, UK/Cal is struggling. He isn’t winning nor is he actually helping guys get drafted anymore. He’s really not helping anyone, just ruining a legacy.

You said “Cal’s system needs those high end guys to have success.” To me this is an indictment on his coaching ability. There are coaches who are having better success with less talented players. Who wouldn’t be successful with the players he had through 2015? Some probably would have won more than 1 title with the talent he had.

I 100% agree. I was saying if he doesn’t have the top players, the team isn’t going do much. It’s no coincidence his better teams featured a top pick with other lottos. Without that, you’re left with mediocre players and poor coaching.

Thanks. I'll seriously try to get up there and check it out. Life gets in the way more and more these days, but I don't golf, can't really play basketball or softball anymore; so I enjoy poker as my non-spectator sport.

 

[UKNothinButNet]

Coming home Sunday- I thought why in the hell do I spend $6k per year on tickets, $2k on hotels, no telling the food, etc and Cal just can’t even come out for the radio show and sign a few balls for some kids. Hell- after that performance I would have the whole team out signing balls for kids while I apologized and said this shit will get better now. Nobody is held accountable.

Do you see Barney holding anyone accountable for anything? That's why we are in the mess we are in. Not only is he not doing anything to change the situation currently, he was the one who enabled this whole mess with his lifetime contract in the first place.
