Hogs Spinning Hard

Would love for this writer to see the video of the press conference attendance! Anybody know how to forward it to him?

Kentucky Fans Have Already Handed Calipari, Hogs First Win

Dysfunction in Lexington hands Razorbacks' John Calipari, Hogs major recruiting advantage over Mark Pope

LOL

 

[65pacecar]

He is correct, there was dysfunction in Lexington. Thankfully he resigned and became a Hog.

 

[UKFan32065]

I believe Pope will have a better roster put together than Cal will. Not all these de-commits and portal players are going to follow him to Arky.

 

[Tubbyfan78]

lol, that article didn't age well.

It's "Sports" Illustrated, it jumped the shark with ESPN LOOOOOONG ago, dont give them the clicks.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Hog sympathizers (aka Sports Illustrated) are a strange bunch.

 

[silentsaregolden2.0]

Didn't look like much hate in a packed Rupp Arena for a friggin' coach introduction. Clowns.

 

[KFuqua]

They certainly are desperate to try to become relevant and they're going to try to keep pulling Kentucky into their press to draw attention to themselves and their has-been coach.

 

[canebreak]

My question for Hog man. If the Hogs are so brilliant and have so much money from Tyson, Walmart and Jerry then why have they been so far behind us idiots here in Kentucky for so long. DO they really think Cal would be in Arkansas if he was successful here? Really? It's odd how self delusion works.

It should read, desperation in Fayetteville is Hogs latest attempt to maintain a decent basketball program. Remember Kentucky leads the series 36 to 14 and took your best coach ever and the two best in state players in the last 20 years in Monk and Goodwin. It doesn't matter who your coach is, your victories will be few and far between. So good luck with rebuilding rosters every year and nothing to show for all the talent you think you are getting.

Just give them a year or two, their tune will change

Agreed. They’ve taken in a coach whose schtick hasn’t worn thin on his audience yet.

 

[bluegoad72]

What a terrible written article.
Can't wait for that game. Hopefully it's in Rupp and we can cut that last paragraph out and send it to Pope to show the team before the game.

"However, for now, Round 1 decidedly goes to Arkansas with literally no effort needed"

 

[uk78]

If Cal had been setting the SEC on fire with wins, being the leader of SEC championships during the regular season, SEC tournament, and NCAA then it was a huge win for Arkansas. However, that is not the case. The truth is Cal was chased out by his own poor performance in coaching. He lost meaningful relationships with the fans, the more important donors, the power brokers, etc.

Why would anyone imagine he suddenly changes? Kentucky wanted him gone and Arkansas fell for it by hiring him. We owe Arkansas a big thanks.

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

Getting many good portal players for Cal will be hard IMO. He got lucky on a couple here, but his freshmen priority every season gets more and more apparent to recruits.

Don't know about a better "Roster" Cal may very well one up us there, but Pope will put together something more important. The better TEAM!

 

[UKNothinButNet]

Does anyone know where I can get one of those shirts that say "I Trusted the Process". Lemme know, I want one!

 

[J_Dee]

Hogs enjoy lapping up leftover slop. I don't see the problem.

This writer is SCARED lol he knows Kentucky is back. Hate Hate Hate! I can't wait to play the Hoggies.

I'd go 2nd best coach; can't see ranking eddie above nolan. Unless you're talking about Jimmy Dykes?

It’s a fan blog on SI, not even by one of their writers - if they have any left.

 

[Smashcat]

We now have two 'little brothers.'

This has been one of my biggest problems I have seen worsening over the last several seasons it's a very real fact these kids aren't brainless!! Put yourself in their shoes wouldn't you feel the same way.

 

[JHB4UK]

Don't need "better rosters". Had my fill of #1 analyst ranked freshman recruiting classes to last me the rest of my life.

We need better TEAMS

 

[meow_cat]

We gifted them our dysfunction.

 

[Wildcat1962]

They aren't us and they are never going to be.

 

[4UK4Life]

I especially like how he noticed Pope went back in time to 2016 and put that video out just to pump up the fans about him being hired 8 years later

 

[BlueSince92]

😂 I should seriously start making those.

 

[Fox2monk]

Nah he won’t recruit at the level of Cal on paper but I do hope he ends up with a better team.

 

[HeismaNole]

Outsiders are always clueless. We’ve been sick to death of the Cal brand. Go ahead and get the guys who don’t give a crap about your program. We’ve had our feel for it and are done.

This is like someone bragging about having your ex and you’re like “Uh, you can have her, buddy. I didn’t want her anymore.”

[MegaBlue05]

Dude’s first clue should be nobody in Lexington was upset Cal left.

Kind of like nobody at Alabama was upset when Bill Curry “left” for Kentucky. Same vibes.

Literally put a dude with cock and balls on the cover of their swimsuit issue. 😆

 

[hmt5000]

Cal is almost 70 and has health issues. He isn't the same coach he was 7 years ago. Arky will have about 2 years of hope and if it doesn't work out by then it's going to funny to watch. LOL.

Wish I could post something nice here but after the ish fest of the last 7 years I'm not going to lie, I will VERY much enjoy the downfall

Arkansas is like the new girlfriend. The old girlfriend knows all the dirty little secrets and irritating habits. The new girlfriend won't figure it out for some time yet. Eventually they'll be like "okay, I get it now".

 

[katwest]

While they were at Arkansas, Sutton had the best winning percentage, but Nolan had a championship. Nolans trouble at the end of his tenure hurt his legacy some and Sutton liked the bottle, but both were good coaches.

 

[Soupbean]

Boys check this out. Mark brought in his Utah VALLEY State team to Rupp 4 years ago against Cal. We won by 8 but with 3:36 to go in the game it was 68-67!!!! I remember watching that game and saying crap we're beat!

You tell me who has the best game coach going forward. Utah Valley St!!!
