Ok, I'm officially done enjoying Cals implosion.

[Digger-Cat]

Wonder how the refs will call the game against uk. On one hand they don't like giving uk breaks but onoh they don't like cal either. Could be quite the conumdrum for them

Should bring the Rooferee out of retirement for that one.
At least we'll know who he was mad at all thise years.

 

[Digger-Cat]

Let’s focus on one game at a time. We should not be counting Arkansas or anybody else as a win. Coach Pope’s Cats have to bring it on game night in the current SEC.

You do realize we're not actually on the team, right?
This is a fan forum, where we discuss current, past and future topics. You get that, right?

How about 2025?

Even better because none of the ranked teams we beat in 2010, besides Tennessee I believe, made the tournament. And we've already beaten at least five teams that are going to be in for sure.

Yeah, the thing is, basketball is a game. I wish Cal health and happiness, but I hope he loses every game he coaches from here on out, and the reason I hope that is because of how he treated the fans and the UK brand. Screw him -- as it relates to the game of basketball. He's richer than any human ever needs to be, so I am confident he will be just fine.

I hope he loses every game at Arkansas. IDK how I would feel if he went to a school that wasn't in the same conference and all that.

If and that's a big if. But say they finish 16-16. Because you know they are gone first game of the SECT.
Does Cal refuse to play in the NIT if they are selected? I don't think a 16-16 record guarantees a NIT bid. Lots of teams will win 20 and not make the NCAAT. Might not be a NIT bid for a .500 team this year.

I’m not. He ran our program into the ground. Thought he was bigger than UK.

There are 4 banners hanging in Rupp because of him, and someday, his name will be alongside them. But until that day, he can lie in the bed he made.

It really is a shame because the 2010–15 stretch was second only to the 1993-98 stretch in my life. But somewhere in there, the game left him behind, and he just lost his fire. You can’t lose the fire but not the ego.

I think once the sting of the last few years wears off, people will gravitate more towards the good than the bad in their minds. But like you said, until then it’ll be nice watching Arkansas suck until he hangs it up. Just a shame; he could have gone out on top.

I think a single clap would be better. Just clap your hands together one time......then total silence.....
Yes, a moment of silence in Rupp to honor a fallen ex-hero.

Ooooh I like it

 

[Dreklie]

I hope he loses every game until he retires, I will never be done loving watching him fail.

 

[catman15]

Huh? Inevitable?

Yes. I don't have to root against them because i already know how it plays out. I only care about the head to head match up. Everything else is gonna go how it usually does for Cal

 

[Wildcat1962]

I'm just grateful that's not happening here.

 

[Digger-Cat]

The bottom line is, Cal focuses on individual goals and accomplishments. If one of his draft picks is struggling, he's going to take however long it takes to get that kid to break through and he is not going to change.

That 'Justin Edwards', or 'BJB' is going to start over better players, because those HS rankings said they were better.

Cal's last 4 teams played completely like disconnected teams that just did their own things. Some teams put it together and looked like a great TEAM for one game here and there, but always went back to individualism.

You can't prioritize individualism and win in today's college basketball. Cal knows this, but he doesn't care.
