You holding up okay today?
Lamb posts a somewhat disrespectful shot

Al McGuire, the great Marquette coach rightly said about Kentuckys basketball tradition “they had it before you, they had it during you, they'll have it when you're gone.” John Vincent Calipari is NOT bigger than Kentucky basketball. It's time.
In defending him he actually is pointing out how much Cal has underachieved. That was 12 years ago.
Unpopular take here but everybody got what they wanted. No need in all the fighting still. I know things will be tense for a while but Cal’s run was done and UK fans were done.
There’s nothing wrong with players standing up for their former coaches and vice versa. It’s a dumb thing for him to say and totally inaccurate but big deal.
He was a major piece on that 2012 national championship team. I don’t think Lamb has the authority to climb Rupp’s rafters and remove our banner.
Let’s stop with the stupid stuff and focus on where we go from here.

We gotta distance ourself from the Cal University bros.
Not so much a cult, but more just the coaches players. I sort of expect some of this.
Bet he'll still be using that past Kentucky glory rocking that jersey and collecting a paycheck in the TBT this summer!
I don't see anything wrong with what he said. He's Cal's guy more than a UK guy.
Yea he might want to take that down and then go take a dump because that kid is full of shit….. Shame on you Lamb you were one of the Cal players I really liked….
Because none of those guys are Kentucky guys so it's not UK glory to them. All they know is UK didn't win anything for over a decade before Cal came along. Look no further than the Rondo/Cousins video.
That’s what happens when you make it about an individual instead of a program.
I'm aware and now it's been over a decade since even he won a title at UK. Just glad it's over and a new era can begin.
Even Doron would have to recognize that is also an indictment of Cal. That was 12 years ago.
He was not bright at all. Lucky if he could string a sentence together. He WAS a good player but dead to me now.
Hear! Hear! We need to get a new coach quickly so we can move on to our future. The longer it takes to get a coach the longer we still have to talk about him.
You can defend your guy without taking pseudo shots at a program that gave you freaking everything.
That’s what it’s always been since Cal’s been here look no further back than Sharpe….
Lmaooo do these guys even watch us??? Is he happy with the results the last 5 years? Damn some of these dudes are clowns.
Im not saying the cult doesn't exist (although it has to be a pretty small membership at this point lol)..
Just that the players are going to side with the coach. You hope a few of them still cherish the fanbase, the wins, the program.. But for a lot of them, Cal will come 1st.. and that probably applies to almost every school. Coach K's guys care more about Coach K, than they do about Duke.
Looking up u haul prices to Fayetteville.
In his eyes UK gave him nothing Cal gave him everything. This is the way it's going to be with 80-90% of the Cal guys.
Bye, we had better before you, and will after. Numbers don't lie, were tired of being bottom of sec. Loved your time here, thank you.
This is just one example of what is coming from the Calipari era of players. 'His' players will rally around 'His Highness' and start trashing UK fans. I hope I'm wrong but there won't be anymore Calipari era players showing up in Lexington anymore. They were in love with Calipari, not UK.
Also, anyone who is willing to accept, condone, or excuse the last 5 years isn't worth my time. GTFO and I don't care who you are, your not a UK fan.
I'll also add most players are loyal to the coach first. This is not something limited to UK and Calipari and his former players. The new guys players will be the same with him. I just hope he is better at roster building than Cal was the last 5 to 7 years.
Some probably will, but smart ones will understand they have a full market of camps, signings, etc in KY. Some will disappear from UK, but some will still leverage their time in Lex for financial gain. Someone like Boogie isn’t going have a sold out camp in Arkansas, but he would in KY. Something for them to consider for the future.
What a shame! He was one of my favorites but he had to use a public forum to let the world know he wasn't recruited for academics.
Young guys say silly things sometimes - and yes, he's still young. Cal was Doron's coach, so even though I think he's wrong I appreciate all he did here! Lamb for threeeee!
Something long forgotten in our Murican society is how to be gracious when things don't go your way.
Just another example. Lamb could still be "Cal's guy" without taking shots at UK.
