Have you noticed how Pope keeps mentioning #9?

[Cleatortoises]

Bad take. He ruined that team. Went away from the platoon and started leaning on KAT. Went from blowing teams out to squeaking out wins.

Read it again. You just said exactly what I said. 👀

Not possible. Marty bought the book when he was in the future, which was 2015 in the movie.

It was a joke

"If true?" You make it sound like Cal writing or saying something so imbecilic is below him. He said stupid stuff like that all the time.

Cal thought that the fans still loved him.

If Pope wasn't pursuing number 9 in year one then he's not the right coach for the job. Will we be the most talented team next year? No. Does the most talented team always win the championship? Also no. I don't expect a natty but I expect the pursuance of one. Thinking it's impossible is a loser's mentality

This is an important distinction

Made me search...

John Calipari actually had a goal to send nine players to the draft, not eight, instead of winning title

Much of Big Blue nation (and college basketball fans) couldn’t believe that John Calipari was prioritizing sending players to the NBA over winning a national title, as he said in a speech at …

ftw.usatoday.com

Very sad .

Feels great to have a coach who puts titles over the draft again

Cal started doing that before 2015. Remember the infamous May 2015 tweet.

''I know I'm gonna drive you traditionalists crazy, but we started this year not with the goal of winning a title, but to get 8 players drafted''.

Remember it like it was yesterday. What a POS he is. Hope to never hear from him or read about him again.

Something the previous coach stopped doing after 2015.

Disagree, he had goals ...make himself insanely rich, make a few draft picks rich and piss off the entire fan base. He did all 3 very well.

Never said he didn’t have goals… just that winning a natty wasn’t one of his stated ones after 2015. Like, not once. Not one single time.

If you play what he says backwards does it say “Paul is dead”?

He’s barefoot and out of step on the album! He dead!

Finally someone got it.

You are pretty much guaranteed 1 title at UK if you are not a drunk or caught cheating. 1 is par for the course.

The assignment in my opinion is multiple titles. Cal’s biggest failure was not winning more titles than Pitino. That will burn him more than anything else and will fuel his fire at Arkansas.

That should be the focus until the banner is hung so we can get on task for #10 and so on before UCLA wakes up and extends the lead or the heel nippers catch us.
