Comical....how many accounts are you creating today?
I’m choosing to support Cal, and here’s why
- Thread starter Wonky
- Start date
How is kneeling being disruptive? Does that prevent the anthem from being played or others from honoring it as they see fit?
Also, so you are saying everyone at the games is sitting quietly during the course of the game? Or are they cheering and being disruptive and trying to disrupt the opposing team? So, by a reasonable person standard, which the law requires, sporting events by nature are meant to disrupt.
Sure seem odd you can provide no evidence to support your claims. Like any case law or anything...

Agree with most of your posts and with your 1st paragraph here.
Without the contract buyout provision, I would think that CCC, notwithstanding his accomplishments up to the 2016 season, would have been called into the AD’s office after the 2020-21 season and given a “pep” talk. But COW holds all the cards and he knows it. Since 2015, UK has had a couple of good regular season records but little postseason success. Seven years of average results for a $9mil coach does not add up. If Alabama football had the same run, Nick would have been canned.
For me the most frustrating things, even more than his record, is his behavior. It infuriates me and brings a bad light on a historically prominent program. He is very dismissive towards the UK press, the sideline reporters, and fans only coming out and pumping his chest when we win and sulking like a child after a loss.
I live in Georgia and wear a UK hat or shirt a majority of the time. People here really like Stoop's image but will give you a thumbs down when you ask about COW.
Easy way to spot media programmed zombies!
At $9 million per year I think winning games is his job anyway. To me it isn't something exciting or special if those wins just barely get us in the NCAA tourney door. So many UK fans are now perfectly fine with the program limping into the post season with a flawed team and very flawed coach.
If we continue to lower the bar, we accept mediocrity.
Exactly! Just taking the MSM’s word for it, not gathering their own info. The insurrection is a threat to our “democracy”! Clowns!
I think he sucks here's why:
He used questionable recruiting tactics to acquire great teams that built his career.
What he did with all that talent is disappointing
His offense is ugly and not fun to watch
His pre-game and in game play calling and adjustments seems to be non existent
His teams seem to lack basic fundamentals
He runs players into the ground which leads to way to many injuries
His teams do not hit free throws or get open shots
He seems very arrogant and never adapts, learns or listens
Comes off as an A$$ when giving pressers and yelling at players

Facts, the other night when they won, you had peopel on here saying oh why complaint when you won. Because Kentucky played terrible in crunch time, and let a shit team hang around
What insurrection are you talking about? The Jan 6, 2020 event? Factually, that was a demonstration or a riot. Even the hack Jan 6 committee has admitted this.
Just because CNN still uses the word "insurrection" doesn't mean it is accurate.
"They're 18 years old," he told reporters. "They're learning. These kids are good kids. They've got good hearts. This political time, probably not a real good time to do it."
Again, he throws the players under the bus when he green lighted the kneeling.
And I note they didn't kneel at Rupp.

I appreciate your desire to support Cal, Wonky ... but if we're honest, I think if BBN could see a course change by Cal that was meaningful to get this program back on the right footing, the entire sentiment toward Cal would change, IMO. At least it would with me, and I've been a pretty big critic of his OAD debacle for years. Support for coaching/staff should be effortless and organic. Trying to find ways to support him these days is a full-time job filled with lies, half-truths and excuses we're expected to endure ... it takes too much work that's hard to enjoy. That said, hats off to you for trying to find a way to support him. I don't envy the work that's required on your part and sorry I can't find a way to try any more. I look forward to a needed coaching change.
I'm fine with judging Cal from a "historical perspective" after he leaves. I prefer to judge Cal currently based on a forecast of future performance calculated on recent events. The trend is not flattering, and a prediction based on coaches in their winter years is even less so. You can both appreciate what Cal has done in the past and see a need to part ways to improve the probability that Kentucky is in the conversation for a national championship. Like many UK fans, I don't see Cal winning another championship. His last best shot may be next year, but his outdated play style will probably cripple that talented team too.
Can’t you type slower just once? Stole my damned rabbit again.🫤
The OP was easily one of the most negative guys here, but facts woke him up. Those pesky facts bug ya, huh?
Thank goodness my dad doesn’t get liquored up and act like a fool on the internet. I’d disown him.
Most skewering him now didn’t heap praise on him when he was killing it, so they can’t be taken seriously.
I’ve heard that added with “and you’ll get your clothes muddy to boot“
That mans wife loves him and his daughters defend him every step of the way. I don't care if we ever win another game. That's the type of Man I want coaching my team!
Lol. I’ve been easily label a Cal nut hugger on this board. So, yeah I’m ery fair with Cal. He’s sucked lately.
Farmer is a convict. Wonky left your team and joined the team of sanity and reason. Tough pill for the blind haterade crowd.
You're not on the team of sanity and reason though. This is your 12th account. You get them banned because you only show up to attack people and call them drunks, babies, children, etc. I look forward to your next account that you will stalk me on like the homosexual stalker you are.
The white kids have a first amendment right to hold up signs saying "white power" Or kneel in support of the KKK. Because they have a first amendment right, doesn't mean it's the proper thing to do.

Literally nobody is expecting a repeat of the 5 year run. We are expecting more than losing the all time wins lead, the all time tournament lead, a losing record against the top 25, a 7 year final four drought with top classes and transfers yearly, losing to saint peter's as a 2 seed. I could go on and on.
We started the season ranked 4th in the county and a final four favorite. With the national POY. We have 9 losses in late February. That is not the Kentucky standard.
How do you stalk an anonymous message board poster? More validation that you aren’t on the side of sanity.
Homosexual? Hahaha! Gibberish. What a weird pivot.
Your last user name was literally a direct shot at me. You think I'm a dead poster who died almost 4 years ago. Get a grip please. Dude runs all over this board stalking certain posters. You did the same on Baller Cal before they banned that account...
You’re clearly woke and like to play the victim. Nobody gives a crap about you but they do find it hilarious that a Cal hater looked at the facts and decided to be reasonable.
You misinterpreted my post. I didn’t mean anybody was expecting a repeat. What I’m saying is because that 5 year run was so much better than even we as UK fans expect (and we expect a lot), Cal’s recent lack of success seems like a more precipitous nosedive than it actually is. In reality, it is simply the law of averages.
I shouldn’t have to repeat this, but nobody is more sickened with the current state of the program than I am. Do I think Cal will - or even can - right the ship? Not necessarily. But I’m also not ready to concede that a man with an ego as big as Cal’s doesn’t have one last gasp in him.
I can respect your line of thinking. But at some point you have to just realize. He's done. His last big gasp is next year with his super class IMO.
He makes very valid points though I would say the trend leaves little promise to expect #9 as of now. The thing is though, in my mind if he were to get #9 all is forgotten, forgiven, etc.
