I liked this post JUST SO I could unlike it.
Auburn fans' excitement is a small bright spot?
Save that shitpost for after the Derby. FOH.
I'm not surprised this is YOUR takeaway.
Nice Bob Sura reference.
Almost felt bad for him enroute to the 20+ point beatdown in the 93 regional final.
Almost.....
Terie? Lol
I’m digging all this negative attention (warranted or not) towards cal from some loud media members. Maybe it’ll get his ass back in shape and get us a team that leaves no doubt in the elite eight
I just hope we never see “Swaggy Cal” again.
If he keeps up his current diet and exercise regimen, he's gonna be "Saggy Cal"
I'll see myself out, see you guys in a million years
No more "state of the union" addresses at BBM, please. The first five were cute, but let's dial it back, K?
The 'every take is extreme' world is frustrating. An overreaction and then an overreaction to that overreaction. In-game redass aside, many posters here are reasonable. As it turns out, we can want our coaching staff to:
- adapt and perhaps run some different sets
- emphasize outside shooting to a larger degree
- use our full scholarship allocation, potentially adding players that could grow over multiple years in the program
- be more consistent in our messaging to players and rotations used in game situations
- place adequate importance on team success while promoting the message of 'players first'
- use an occasional time-out to calm the team, allow them to catch their breath and perhaps draw up a play
- etc
While at the same time:
- not want our coach to leave or retire
- acknowledge that we consistently recruit and sign some of the most skilled players in the country
- not begrudge any player that can become an instant millionaire by leaving early
- adapt and perhaps run some different sets
- emphasize outside shooting to a larger degree

If one were an asshole, they could argue that failing to give out a full allotment of scholarships actually hurts the fight against generational poverty. If one were an asshole.
We are a nick Richards / EJ improvement from being really good again next year. Cal needs a big man that can protect the rim and not let sub 6 footers get uncontested layups
I DREAM NOT OF WINS AND LOSSES, BUT ENDING GENERATIONAL POVERTY WHILE SITTING MY FATASS IN THE RECLINER EATING EXPENSIVE STEAKS AND WATCHING THE ALASKAN BUSH PEOPLE!!!! (ALSO BEING AN AMBASSADOR)
*rupp blows the roof off the mfer*
There's at least a twenty percent chance that Calipari told his lawyer and/or agent to ask Mitch for a contract that paid his estate for ten years after he died just so Mitch could aw shucks his way into signing a "lifetime" contract, imo.
Anyway, sign me up for Calipari coaching UK in perpetuity. Even when the portly wop is irritating, he's still the best there is. Kind of a gentrified Billy Joe Wildcat, to be honest.

Successful and popular ex-coaches hanging around the program is usually not a great thing imo. Comparisons and looming shadow and whatnot.
Can somebody get CoolCat to come clean some of this shit up over here?
I expect major improvement from EJ next season (assuming he’s back), but losing Washington and Travis will be devastating. I’m not sure BBN has fully realized the potential impact of that yet.
We need this Sestina dude from Bucknell in a big way.
I want the burn down your village Cal.
The Cal who is interrupted during post game press conferences by the opposing coach wanting to kill him.
That Cal.

Haven't seen anyone blame Brittany Renner yet. But she's def responsible for Keldons late season issues.
I'll be real interested to see what Cal does with Dontaie Allen. We need at least one kid like that coming through the program every year imo.
All we need now is for the Borg to assimilate Joel Justus and we'll be good to go.
If Calipari announced he's bringing back Orlando Antigua and Rod Strickland, I'd be this happy: ![[banana]](https://ct.yimg.com/mr/uploads/891/1682178.gif "banana [banana]")
Hell if he didn’t get hurt, he’d probably be a prime candidate for the Top 40-50 4-star multiyear guy to become a OAD candidate by January.
May be too good of a shooter to play a key role.
Still a FIRM believer that you need at least one Kentucky kid in your rotation if at all possible.
Well shit we had Herro, what are you bitching about no Kentucky kids?

What would it hurt to take the best player in the state at least every other year? We never use those scholarships, it gets BJWs dick hard, and it helps bring kentucky kid intensity (minus Derek Willis) to the team.
Also, we could have had Tandy AND Allen this class.

No we could not have had Tandy. His daddy said, and i quote "he aint no four year bench player." Tandy was not willing to come here and wait his turn, his dad knew there would be guards ahead of Ky Ky in the pecking order. But i guess we could have if Cal promised him he would start. Allen was willing to do that, Tandy wanted to be a star from the jump.
No kids dad in the world wants his kid to come and be a bench player. He is better than Dom Hawkins was as high school senior and would have came to kentucky if offered. I think we got the best of the two but they weren’t exclusive
And he and his dad would both have bitched about sitting from day one and he'd have transferred long before he could contribute. I love having Kentucky kids, but it takes a certain kind of kid.
<— would be just fine having my kid be a bench player at UK
Brad Calipari. Helps with outside shooting as well.
Off Season Randos:
-KC was ok, but not what I expected, at all. Figured it was a clean, new, smaller version of Denver. Airport was the worst I've ever been in, I guess it's being replaced. Downtown was decent. That Plaza area looked to be the place to go. I'll give it an overall c+, I'm fine without ever going back.
-Wanted to get over to the Negro League Museum and just never made it. Did hit up the College Basketball Experience which we all agreed would've been amazing for a 12 year old but was not good for an adult.
-Happy to not be cheering against any team in the F4. Always made worse when UL, KU, UNC or Duke are there to add to the misery.
-The Herros love to booze. The whole clan was at the bar as much or more than The Beans.
-Not going back and reading, if it's anything like the little bit of twitter I saw, no f-ing thanks.
-Guards, need elite or very good experienced guards in March. The rest is overthinking it.
-I think we lose the starters, keep the rest, add a transfer and a 2020 big.
-"Is John Calipari's job in jeopardy?"![[eyeroll]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/rolleye/rolleye0011.r191677.gif "Eye roll [eyeroll]")
-Watched Instant Family on the flight, how did Booker get Marky Mark to play his role? Talk about unrealistic.
-Not saying I'm happy about losing but not a bad consolation to be home with nothing to do all weekend. Also, I'm just not going to be sad when the days are getting longer and 75 degree days are in the forecast.
-Masters, Keeneland, Derby, Summer, Vegas
