I've been posting his videos in different threads, but this guy deserves his own thread on here.
It's a good channel, but I'm enjoying for… ..other reasons.

Locked on Arkansas

It's funny to see the fans reaction. I don't really care about arky at this point though. The league is too stacked to care about a team at the bottom when we ended up getting what we really wanted, a basketball coach. I appreciate a lot about Cal but also appreciate he left
We tried to warn them all. They thought they were getting Cal from 2009-2015. Instead they got COVID CAL
He calls out UK fans in this video. Says UK fans didn't know it would be this bad and all he heard from us was that Cal would lose in the first round.
BS, Cal was losing to mid majors in Rupp and this Arkansas team, while talented, is not as talented as what Cal had at UK. It may be better than 12/13, but the rest of Cal's teams had more talent.
Not only that, we saw this coming the second he lost Welch and Antiqua and replaced them with Brad and Kenny. That is a recipe for disaster.
Matt Jones reminded us that Tyson chicken sent a gift basket of Tyson nuggets to KSBar after the Cal hiring. Dudes were trolling, so they deserve this.

this guy talked mad shit back in april too.
I thought they would at least make the tournament.
We told them what Calipari was. They didn't believe it. He's exactly what we said. The SEC is just tougher than it's ever been. Cal has no free wins.
He's STILL going to the same old recipe, which hasn't worked in 5 years. He's still wanting to overwhelm teams with talent. And the talent gap isn't there.
He’s probably right that most of us weren’t expecting Arkansas to be this bad, but he’s wrong in a more important way. We knew exactly what the issues would be for this team, listening to his list of complaints was like taking a time warp back to any of the last 4-8 seasons and listening to my inner monologue. We were right. Nothing has changed. There’s still time to change for Cal. But I think if that change was realistic, Cal would still live in Lexington.
Cal may be one and done. Didn’t know how bad it was until I watched pope last night then Ark afterwards
The most bizarre thing to me is Cal went to 4 final fours in 5 seasons and then just died. Wisconsin killed him. Broke him.
Ask a trivial question one day to a young fan. Who is the UK coach to take the team to the most final fours in a 5 season period? Not hall or pitino or Rupp (although P and R had 3 in a 5 season stretch each with Rupp going 3 for 3 to win it all!) But calipari.
What a collapse and fall from grace
Cal started going downhill when the '15 team failed to go 40-0
Some of y'all are still upset because Arkansas stole Calipari from Kentucky. 
I think we're all super surprised that Davis has been so horrifically bad. But otherwise, they are who we thought they were. And Cal is DEFINITELY still the same guy. Poor Ellen can't bake enough brownies to change any of that, God Bless Her.
Their highest high this year was beating KU….during preseason.
Ark is pretty up there in my hierarchy of hate, regardless of Cal, so I hope they find a way to lose the rest of their games. Zero sympathy for that fanbase.

I predicted they wouldn’t make the tournament as soon as his roster was finalized. You can go back and look.
I debated reaching out to this guy just to show him there were absolutely some of us that saw THIS coming.
The whole summer coaching shift was a crazy one.
April 1 - Andy Enfield leaves USC to go to SMU
April 4 - Eric Musselman leaves Arkansas to go to USC
April 9 - John Calipari leaves Kentucky to go to Arkansas
April 12 - Mark Pope leaves BYU for Kentucky
I've always felt like USC and UK ended up the winners in this. Both caught off guard by their coach leaving on their own and both upgrading in the process.

That clown calling out UK fans. That shit podcast would have about 40 views instead of thousands if not for UK fans.
BBN should stop watching that irrelevant team's podcasts.
Ignore 🤡 Cal when he is introduced Feb. 1. Booing him will only stroke his ego.
Ignoring him would really get to him. Show him he is irrelevant and Kentucky has a real coach

Look it is fun at first to see him do the same thing elsewhere. But after that it is sad to see a good coach lose it towards the end of his career. Rupp lost a step and even with Rupp losing a step in the 60s he was 10 times the coach Cal is now.
Just let the man figure out how to quit the thing he has loved for too tong. Same for any boxer, or other old retiring player of just about any sport.

Cal won’t quit, he is going to have to be forced out. IMO.. He actually thinks he still knows how to win.
This would be the ultimate ironic ending to this man's career. I hope it doesn't happen but it's looking more realistic. I'll be pulling for him to turn it around, except in Lexington.
“By the way welcome to the Locked on Razorbacks podcast, Kentucky fans” 🤣❤️

His rapid decline and inability to keep up with the changes in college bball really is sad but not unprecedented.
Even coach K was showing signs of decline towards the end of his tenure but was smart enough to know when to say when.
I just watched another podcast where he was joined by 2 others and when the UK fan comments came up, they kept saying UK fans only warned them about post season losses.
I call BS. He freaking lost 8 regular season games last year with an elite roster that had 2 lottery picks coming off the bench.
Also, he keeps losing to mid major programs at home. The massive NCAAT losses are just a bigger deal.
But I would love to let them know this. The roster Cal has, would be good in the hands of any other coach, but it is a terrible fit for Cal and as soon as I (and most UK fans) saw how incredibly deep the SEC was this year, we all knew Arkansas was in trouble.
Now, nobody predicted 0-5 to start, but nobody is surprised, not after what we have seen from Cal and what we know of the assistant coaches he has.
The comparison someone made earlier about Cal being Michael Scott from The Office, is a very good one. Obliviousness at it's finest.
I don't think 2015 broke him, because it was just 2 years after that when he went 27-5 with Monk, Fox and Bam. That team was legit and we got hosed.
2018 had, what, 7 NBA players, including MKG. He just stunk at coaching them.
2019 was a damn good team. yeah, there was the loss to Evansville, but we were an OT period away from a FF.
2020, we won the SEC by 3 games, but that was kind of tge start of Cal's true laziness.
All I can say is thank you Arkansas, you took Cal off our hands and saved UK 40 million bucks.
That's the thing, most of the guys that played for Cal, especially in his later years, seemed to struggle. The better guys had their moments, but rarely sustained it. Then, after they left UK, they always seemed to explode and Cal would be right there to take credit for the explosions.I think we're all super surprised that Davis has been so horrifically bad. But otherwise, they are who we thought they were. And Cal is DEFINITELY still the same guy. Poor Ellen can't bake enough brownies to change any of that, God Bless Her.
Nelly Davis is just the latest in a long line of guys that struggled undrr Cal.
None of us were excited about the roster Cal had lined up for this year. None of the freshmen were rated very high and we all knew Cal has to have extreme talent. We were headed for a disastee of a season.
Thanks to John Tyson, we got a wish of a lifetime granted, now Arkansas is feeling the pain we were headed for.
Yeah, I get that, just look at who and where they are playing Saturday.
They're going 0-5.
John Nabors (Locked on Arkansas) is going to he doing his show from KSBar the day of the Ark vs UK game and that guy is getting very nervous. He's been getting a ton of threats from UK fans because there are a lot of receipts from some things he said when Cal was hired.
He read off some of the comments and I must say, I'm kind of worried about this guy, some of those comments are disturbing.
Note: I don't think I spelled John's last name correctly, I'll look it up and get it right next time.

If he was smart, he would call it quits after this year. Next year won't be any better, because he refuses to listen to anybody.
Makes you wonder how long this NIL money will be there. If I'm Tyson or whoever else, I'm very displeased with what I'm getting for my millions.
No. This is different than Rupp. Rupp wasn't some rich narcissist that talked down to people, shit on his fans and blamed everyone for his failures, well, that I know of anyway.
The Basketball Bennies stuff and total lack of respect for the fans that paid his salary, got him in this hot water.
Nobody should feel sorry for this guy. Just listen to his pressers, he's blaming his players and acting like he's doing everything right. He doesn't look bothered by the losing, his tone doesn’t change. He deserves everything coming his way while he collects 5 million a year.
Thats fine for you. Me, I am over Cal. I feel sorry for the guy. He should have left the game 6 years ago, Ali should have left the fight game, 5 or 6 years earlier, Bradshaw and so on. When you think you are the IT thing no matter the sport, including Rupp, you have a hard time leaving. Look at what Rupp did to hall. Sitting in on his practices, in a recliner at the game, things like that. It is very hard to leave once you are that invested. Hope Cal retires this year. Hope he enjoys his retirement but he will not. You will see him involved somehow somewhere.
