I'm Probably in minority, but IMO Cal Leaving As He Did Was Bigger Middle Finger To UK Than Pitino's Exit

My reasons why (as if anyone really cares, lol):

1. Rick left for one of the 2-3 greatest programs in sports; Cal left for a conference rival (who I despise)
2. Rick left a team with 4 (eventual) 1st rounders good enough to win a title; Cal left a roster with ZERO players, and took 3 current UK players + the recruits (and I realize times are different now)
3. Rick left UK in a position as certainly the "IT" program and arguably the most successful; Cal left UK as the 4th to 5th best program in the SEC and maybe top 50 in the nation

For these reasons above, I hope Rick gets to the title game this year and loses to his pupil; I wish Arkansas no success at all.....
