Kenny Payne & Louisville deal is getting closer
- Thread starter 312CAT
- Start date
Bad hire. He’s a classic #2 guy. Although he might clean it up for the next guy.
Get ready to see Calipari not care who wins or loses. Gonna be awful. Tired of these programs linking to each other like this.
wouldn’t surprise me to see Cal throw each one of them to help the buddy. Makes me sick.
“this game really doesn’t even matter”. Get ready for this to be the resounding theme.

Cal isn’t dumb enough to try that statement on UK fans. No way.
Morgie, you are so transparent:
1. Deal isn’t done yet.
2. Cal never threw a game in his life.
3. There is no linkage.
4. He’s never said the U6 game doesn’t matter.
Facts suck, huh?

UofL, and that entire dumpster fire, probably isn't a great first job for KP. I like the guy, and think he might be a good coach one day. But, UofL, right now, is a terrible idea.
It won’t be Cal. He’ll back up and allow KP to have his day and the CC on this board will go on and on about how “the game doesn’t even matter”.
It’s the go to when we can’t win or choose to not care. Anything to cover for whatever Calipari does.
I really hate this move if (when) it happens. UL will instantly become a legit team again and I really like Kenny. Don't want to have to hate him but so be it I guess.
He will kill it recruiting (watch out DJ Wagner). Don't know how he will do coaching but I bet he builds a tremendous staff and gets star players immediately.

He’ll get players but Wagner won’t be one.
KP should have went to a mid major and succeeded there before trying to fix a dumpster fire like UL.
I believe he will . His family is close to Cal but like blood to Kenny Payne . It’s like the James Wiseman situation.
Yeah, get sick 9 months before the game based on a goofy prediction that was made by you. Surely you can't think any coach would purposely throw a game due to knowing the opposing coach. And yes, I know, your name is not Shirley.
The way things are going with the Knicks, I can definitely see KP going back to his alma mater for a HUGE paycheck. He will need time, will the Card fan base give him it??
As for DJ Wagner, why would he go ANYWHERE but UK after what Cal did for his father???
Any friendship Milt has with Kenny could NEVER match that.

Cal won’t throw the game but it will become another game against a friend and we all know how that’s worked out for Rick Barnes.
If Calipari is not doing everything he can to win it, which he won’t, then he’s throwing it.
If anyone really thinks “Cal won’t go there” with Louisville you really haven’t been paying close enough attention. This game will be labeled a buddy game and Calipari won’t do anything but suck at the alter of Payne. We should have never brought the guy on staff anyway. We overrate his abilities and he played at Louisville. We should never hire anyone associated with Louisville and these things wouldn’t be a problem.
If they hire him we might as well not even watch because it’s “no longer a game that matters”. Another “meaningless game that has no bearing on March”. Instead of arguing it, CC members just mark the post and bring it up a few years after they hire him. My guess is theyll try and bury it when they realize I’m on the money.
I have my problems with Cal but no way does he throw games.That's just crazy.
So tou found away to turn a Payne to UL rumor into another shot at Cal…..right
Calipri has always thrown games. He threw the Tennessee game in the tournament. Didn’t want to win it. He thew the Memphis / Missouri game when he was taking the UK job. Everyone that knows how memphis played at that time knows it.
Sometimes it’s not even throwing the game. He feels losses equate to something and allows it to be lost. Not calling timeouts when your team is down 14 on a 10-0 run is also a good example of this. No coach trying everything to win a game would ever do that. He’s routine.
So he will throw games and he will allow games to go to the L column. The CC says “it doesn’t matter meaningless game” and that’s essentially admitting the game was basically thrown.
That friendship didn’t stop a 30 point beat down pr a home loss yo a 9 and 16 team
Hard to tell from the forde tweet how much is actual fact, speculation, cheerleading, or some combination
You're so full of sh*t here Morg. That was the most intense throw job I've ever seen, if it was indeed one.
His players weren't hitting the side of the barn, and he's screaming his guts out in a defensive stance. His NPOY candidate was fouled out prematurely, and he's still screaming and drawing up plays and brings the team back within 3 points after what should have been a death-blow. Granted, he still did some stupid sh*t (not fouling the UT pg), but that's poor coaching, not throwing the game.
FULL OF SH*T
Hard for me to see Payne or any other coach with good prospects of getting a top job walking into that dumpster fire when the NCAA hammer has still not come down yet. Time will tell.
As to the bat-shite notion that Cal has or will throw games. Take your meds dude.

Not sure if serious.
I'm not a fan of Cal but I can't believe he would ever "throw" a game, especially a tourney game. I think there have been games in season where he has thrown his hands up so to speak and see if the team can win on their own but I can't believe he's ever thrown a game.
You come off as the type who honestly expected JFK Jr. to show up in Dallas a few months ago...
He’s a pathetic poster, and to think he used to try and tell the mods who he wanted banned as if he ran this place.
March 26, 2009 put the conversation to bet as to whether or not Calipari will throw games. Memphis Missouri And it was a tournament game.Not sure if serious.

Im not going to get into the ins and outs, but it is widely, widely believed Calipari threw that game. And while watching it I knew he was in time, as did many others that followed him and Memphis closely.
I’d also say when you intentionally under-prepare, don’t go through warmups, and say the games don’t matter, that’s a guy who will throw games.
I think they are the stupidest people on earth right next to the types that believe government can work.
I tolerate posters who absolutely hate Cal and love it every time we lose so they can come on here with their hatred. But this talk about throwing games and not caring about beating UL is a point of being totally ridiculous. I can't even believe someone would say stuff like that. I admit Call makes some mistakes that have us shaking our heads at times but throwing games for a buddy. C'mon, have some sense and grow up.

Ive always said I believe UK fans are the worst at understanding this guy and that rings true today. Calipari throwing games has been widely believed for years and he does. Calipari is a showman. He’s not going to just sit down and tell everyone we’re throwing the game come on.
Hater mode level 5......predict Cal will do something . Then get temper tantrum mad about the thing you made up.

I wouldn’t expect the slow portion of the CC to understand anything I’m saying and that’s okay. You’re okay.
I’ve said many times I want Calipari to have an incredible legacy, wouldn’t fire him at this time, we need to maintain this and on. It doesn’t change what he is or what he’s done.
The part I don’t understand is most people that are ultra-competitive want to totally annihilate and beat their friends like a drum then afterwards shake their hand and give them an insincere “sincere apology and tell them how good their team played“.
Btw when we’re talking people believing he threw that Missouri game, we’re talking people be living it that cover college basketball for a living. I’ll just leave that there and you guys can continue believing whatever you want that makes you feel better.
I’m essentially the guy that’s telling y’all the coast guard isn’t coming. We’re on this raft and the call didn’t get out. The fact you’re pissed and scared and want to throw me overboard doesn’t change the fact that what I’m saying is true and the boat is going down.
Nothing I’m saying surprises anyone that knows.

Cant expect much from an admitted Memphis graduate and apparent burn out that gets on The Paddock at 2am and brags about sneaking into St Louis to legally buy The Chronic. LOL, what a hoot.
