Im bored on an amazing Friday afternoon....kicking myself for not taking the day off to play golf!! lol...
Matt jones makes a great point about all of this

And no one here is going to cry about that, even if you lose a basketball game Joe. Think about it.
That's very very true....it is conjecture....but damn we were an even better team with him.
Right - it is conjecture, but he was holding his man to what - 12% shooting, on the year, I believe? Holy crap, would that have been helpful on Dekker.
Never heard so much bickering in my life. Are all of you people Kentucky fans? Apparently its ok to some fans to do anything or say anything as long as we get to some final fours. Final fours mean nothing to me, championship games mean nothing, unless we win. I want Kentucky to win every year, and I am disappointed when we don't. One thing about Cal, he is the best recruiter we have EVER thought about having for a head coach. He has brought in the best crop of players EVER for the years he's been here. I think he should have at least 2 and maybe 3 championships in this time frame, so I can understand people who want to fuss and complain. THEY'RE FANS! Without a doubt we have won the recruiting wars over the Cal era, Kentuckys tradition helped with that. He had some great recruiting years at UMass and Memphis as well, which brings up my second point, coaching. You would think that with all the #1 ranked teams he has had there would be more than one championship. Maybe he is not the best bench coach, and that's OK his record is outstanding and we should win at least 25-30 games every year he is here. We had great teams before him and we will have great teams after he is gone, hopefully many years from now. I am 64 years old and have put a lot of emotions and feelings into the Wildcats since I was a little boy so I feel like I have as much right to the team as anyone! So if anyone disagrees FINE, I don't care. Don't tell me to go root for another team or I might tell you to kiss it where the sun don't shine. I am a Cat fan not a coach or player fan! Give me championships, I don't care how many go to NBA!
You are just 64 years of built up dumb. We all want championships, getting mad over a person's personal belief's and values is very selfish, especially if the guy is performing well.
Do you think Cal's personal priorities cost wins? Helped us win? Have no effect wither way?
His remarks were dumb. I think most would agree if they were honest. However I think the most troubling part is how some of the posters on here act towards other catfans that fairly criticize some of his goofy statements.
Yeah the wins etc are nice, but that doesn't mean he is above reproach. I'm over what he said, but I think it's childish to bash other fans for disagreeing with what the coach says.

Has nothing to do with that for me. I criticized him for a couple of major losses including this year.
What is nauseating is grown men crying over another man's personal beliefs and values. I'll ask you, does his values win us or lose us games?
So this is your personal belief? Is it our place to determine if your beliefs are dumb?
You seem to think Cal's values and beliefs are goofy, who are you to judge a guy with his success?
Yes, I am sure that is the one and only place Cal has said this. We all know Cal never repeats himself.
You have UK confused with Lil Brother. Jurich is the one who controls the local media. MJ said today that he has tried numerous times to get him off the air. If you listen to his show and you think UK is telling them what to say, you are either a conspiracy nut, or just dumb.
I understand 38 - 1. I'm not apologizing for that.
I can also tell you lack the breeding to understand that.
Take classes at UNC much?
Did you sleep through 2012? Please explain to those of us too stupid to understand (you can use small words and type slowly if you must), how the one and out format of the NCAA is conducive to winning the title despite having "an overwhelming gap" in talent.
And you're not fooling anyone. If you are truly a UK fan (and I really hope you aren't), please just go away and bash us and Cal elsewhere.
Brian I could call you a dumbass but I won't! All I worry about is who wins the final game. His priorities don't really matter to me, just results. Truthfully I think his coaching is nowhere near the best!
Maybe one day I will research this, but I would bet that in MANY years, probably most, the team with the #1 class does not win it all. And by the way Duke had the #1 class last year, not us. Also, I guess Rupp is the only UK coach to satisfy you since he's the only one with multiple titles. And even then he only won 4 in 40 yrs. What a bum.
BTW, next time maybe incorporate some paragraphs in your missives to make them easier to read. Please and thank you.
Silence, you can talk one and done all you want, keep apologizing for everything Cal says and does, jump off the bridge with him buddy. Bottom line is, I like Cal and I still believe that he can accomplish great things here, and has already accomplished great things. However, I will say it until I am blue in the face, he has underachieved during his time here in relation to the talent he has brought in. Now, you keep on being a smarty pants or whatever makes you feel cool in front of your friends, but denying what I just said makes you an the others look dumb.
How old are you? Seriously? If you are older than 16, I am embarrassed for you. Anyone with any life experiences at all knows better than what you have been saying. Saying Cal has underachieved is easily the dumbest thing I've ever read on this board. It's not even close. Lil Brother and UNCheat fans aren't even that clueless. Also, you keep typing Silence. Read much?
lol.....I would hate to be so illiterate, bash Cal some more like you did after the Wisconsin game, you are not fooling anyone
Apologize for what, you Mt. Everest of a moron? 190 wins in 6 years, 22 of them in the NCAA Tournament, 4 banners hung (because your idiot ass may not care about FF's, but most people do- which is why they hang banners for them), and A NATIONAL TITLE, all of 3 years ago?
Yeah, anybody who wants to cut Cal some slack needs to apologize for that.
Or maybe, just maybe, you either A: need to apologize for being a fake-ass fan, or B: need to apologize for being an ingrate jackass with absolutely 0 perspective.
If, IF, you really are a UK fan, then I think it's one of the all-time great burns that Cal poked you right in the eye with what he's been saying. Maybe, if he pokes hard enough, you'll vanish the same way you did while UK was winning 38 freaking games in a row last season.
Rupp, Joe B., and Pitino were all good coaches that won titles with much less talent. Rupp won 4 titles in 40 years! Isn't that one title every ten years? How many titles does our current coach have in his years of coaching, not just at Kentucky.. Lets see if your math brilliance is as good as your English.
lol.....u sound like a 5 year old babbling. Keep crying punk, just another keyboard warrior.
Wait, I didn't know there would be math. Let me take off my shoes. Ok.....carry the one......um, one?
Now, how many titles does Izzo have in 19 yrs? How many titles does Boeheim have in 38 years? I love how Cal's ability to get top recruits every year is used against him because he's too incompetent to dominate a single elimination tournament every year.
No kidding Gravy, you have been critical of Cal often, and I have agreed with you a few times because I thought you were spot on.
I just don't see why folks care about the man's personal values. Unless you feel they are interfering with his production. And if you say you don't care, then what is the complaining about?
And, I only have 46 years of dumb, I'll be a total idiot by 64!
Easy JoeJoe.
Tell us, do you think if Cal would declare "Titles 1st and NBA draft 2nd" we would have more championships?
Please start or even go back to rooting for UL. If you don't like Cal, don't like winning, don't like our players realizing their dreams then....please go find a team that's more suited for you.
Seems like every time I read an assanine and baiting post it has your name attached to it. Coincidence?

I don't care if this is how Cal "truly feels."
Not even a little. You ain't winning without top recruits. Top recruits usually aspire to play in the NBA.
This fanbase looks for reasons to get butthurt so much it's comical, although I'm sure we can find a guy who only cares about winning like Tubby or BCG if the OP really wants to go that route.

2014- Mercer 78, Duke 71
2013- Louisville 85, Duke 63
2012- Lehigh 75, Duke 70
2011- Arizona 93, Duke 77
2009- Villanova 77, Duke 54
2008- West Virginia 73, Duke 67
2007- VCU 79, Duke 77
Is this a joke? The 96 team, you know, pitino's NC team, is generally regarded as one of the most talented teams EVER! And Joe B was criticized roundly by UK fans for not winning with all the great talent he had.
And by your math, Cal still is on track to match coach Rupp. One title evry 10 years right? How long has Cal been here?
Four FINAL FOURS in 5 years. Two NC games with one NC. Beat your team, ul, 7 out of the last 8. Go back to your ul board.
I hear you dukies know all about those tidy whities. I'm guessing you didn't pass muster for the power point or video productions either?
I dunno, I might be a bit harsh. Maybe that cake walk has you exhausted.
(I'm guessing he doesn't get it)
