Just a reminder of the anguish when tubby bowed out to UAB in second rd

[TFCats11]

Why would it make sense for them to hold off announcing that? They likely have an eye on an assistant for a team in the playoffs...

Pure speculation, but I would think that if Cal was going to take that job, he and Mitch would want to make sure both parties look as good as they can on the departure. Burning a bridge here would do neither one any favors.

If Calipari does end up taking that job, I will say, he’s leaving UK in the best possible shape for the next coach, and that’s all any of us can ask for.

If Calipari were to leave tomorrow, most of our team would find a way to leave as well.

No, your point is to continue to beat the dead horse.

As many have said - we understand your frustration and even share in it. But man, enough is enough with constantly trying to stuff the bandwagon and change peoples' minds. Just be upset and sit back and wait and see what happens. Regurgitating the same disdain isn't going to create a mass push to get Calipari to leave.

This. Put on your big boy panties and get ready for summer and then football season. Resume crying next October or get ready for the season. Life is a choice.

Nothing changes without persistence my friend.

And you think change is going to come from this place??!! LOL

 

[flacat22]

Imagine all of the things that you could've accomplished in the time it took you to locate and regurgitate that nonsense that has ZERO bearing on the current state of UK basketball.

Good freakin grief! He was one opinion who was angry about us losing to UAB. BTW, that was also the game that Flubby allowed Nolan Richardson to watch us prepare for! Totally idiotic move on his part. Our fans have ALWAYS overreacted to losses. That means nothing in the grand scheme. After the KU win, this board was about as high as it gets. Now, it is as low as it gets. Typical overreactions.

UAB was a pretty good team that year so it wasn't as big of an upset as a lot of people made it out to be. UAB should have been a 4 or 5 seed that year. I'd like to think Nolan made a point not to tell Mike Anderson anything out of respect to Tubby. People have told that story about Tubby letting Richardson watch the practice as an excuse, much like they discredited Tubby during the 98 title run by saying he was on the phone with Pitino the entire time telling him what to do.

UK has some of the biggest idiots for fans that I've ever seen. It's been kind of enjoyable seeing so many get bent out of shape and humbled the last few seasons.

The point is hunter reflected bbn at that time. And it was time for tubby to leave. Fast forward 18 or so years and we now have a coach who disgraced us with the worst season in history then the following year for bounced as a 2 seed in the first round. But bc of our out of touch AD and Cals ability to mobilize a cultish type fan group he’s going to torpedo UK basketball.

The only thing going to torpedo UK basketball is fans like you.

Pretty naïve to think he didn’t give info to Anderson. Anderson was Richardson’s protege and did get the HC job at Arkansas

My main point was that the OP's article was overly dramatic and only illustrates that our fans go nuts over losses, especially in March. To use THAT article to make the point he is trying to make is just stupid.

As for the Tubby/Richardson incident, it is fairly clear considering Richardson proclaiming, "Mighty Kentucky has fallen!" after the game. I never heard the story about Tubby talking to Pitino on the phone. Maybe that was a story floating around at the time but around that time I had more important matters to deal with in life than basketball.

Fair enough

A first round loss to 15 seed isn’t close to as bad a second round loss to an 8 seed. I get they are both disappointments…but they are not really close to same equivalent

No it is worse.

It's the same few posters who start the same kind of threads over and over again trying to use any excuse to blame it on Cal. I believe it is just a few posters using multiple accounts.

 

[Wildcats1st]

Yeah because fans like me lead our program to the worst season in history followed by the worst loss a year later. At least make a little sense. At least come with something realistic. “Oh you’re not happy with cal bc of the losing. You’re the problem” it just doesn’t fly my man

You mean the coach who had us playing for 1 seed this past season and has us top 5 next season? How embarrassing to have a coach have us in the contention each year...

Preseason rankings don’t mean garbage. I hate to say that because I like seeing us ranked that high. But it’s all fluff tbh.

We were playing for a 1 seed. Until our offense went to crap in February.

Iw was very happy up until the Sec tourney. Stubborn Cal showed up again. And we tried to force it inside too much. And just looked stagnate. .

So you admit Cal had us playing well until the injuries took hold and Wheeler and Oscar was forced to carry the team due to the lack of shooting from Grady and Washington?

Admit? What the hell is this, a freaking police interrogation. Chill out.

We were playing well.

The lack of shooting by Grady was due to Cal playing him hurt while a superstar sat on the bench. That’s indefensible. Period.

Especially as we fell apart to St Peters.

Cal was doing well with this team until February and we never saw Hopkins again. Or any kind of adjustments to make those injuries less damaging.

Wheeler wasn’t hurt during the SEC Tourney or the NCAAs. So not sure how these nails out Cal there.

Oscar had to carry us because Cal went back to stall ball and force it inside while teams were hacking my MATB to death without getting calls.

 

[azurricat2010]

If you're disgraced by what our bb team does you're a very small person who doesn't have their priorities straight. You and a bunch of other posters are on here everyday starting multiple threads all saying the same thing. I almost feel sorry for you. Almost. It's really pathetic.

You can't get to 15k-40k comments sitting on the sidelines

The worst season was shortened without cupcakes. Just sayn.

Negative posting by fans like you is the reason Cal can't get as many top recruits. What players want to play with all the negative nannies that want their coach fired.

Bull. Shit.

That is complete bull shit.


Because if it wasn’t NO ONE WOULD GO TO BAMA for football. They’d are as passionate and critical as we are.

Nice try on your false equivalency.

Bama's basketball board is nothing like this board.

Did you lol completely miss the word FOOTBALL.

They are the closest fan type to us in passion.

I thought we were discussing basketball on this board.

 

[bbncal02]

I thought we were discussing basketball on this board.

We were discussing how you saying our “negative” fans effect our recruiting. I said that was bullshit because did that were true Bama would never land top recruits in football. Why? Well it should be obvious because their “negative” fans make our look like flower children. Yet, Saban and Bama don’t miss on top recruits very often. And they don’t blew their fans when they do.

Shall I summarize it again?

We turned out to be everyone’s cupcake.
