"Parity!" - The Cal cultists were right!

I would assume 80-85% were actual UK fans.
Baller, you done good for awhile with this account but you’re slipping back to your old waysIt’s like three guys with 200 aliases working out of their tree houses.![[laughing]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/laugh.r191677.gif "Laughing [laughing]")
people trying to declare parity is valid are missing the bigger issue.
The real issue here is the argument that Calipari's teams are built for March.
If you lose in December, you are not built for March. There is no arguing that position. If you aren't a dominant team early in the season, the chances of you winning a national title fall off dramatically.
Its a failed premise from the start. UK fans were sold a bill of goods from Cal so that he could try to cement his legacy. Accept that Kentucky will never contend for another title as long as he is coach.
History says in 34 years, given the current model Calipari is running, you may have 3 teams, at best, who have a shot

He needs to retire IMO but I can totally see some wanting him here for fear of the unknown, like him because they agree with his politics (not me), etc. I think we'll get a homerun hire when he's done.
Anything that they can use to disparage X_______________________ insert name of who ever is the hated soul that is coaching this team.
I agree that there is more parity now than ever. Teams can immediately supplement their rosters with transfers.
However, I also think UK should be above that and we absolutely haven’t been since at least the Fox Monk year. Even the few good years, we have miserable losses like you are talking about that dampened our outlook like UNC Wilmington, that Duke beatdown, Evansville, Notre Dame.
We’ve finally hit parity guys, that’s why Jacksonville, New Mexico St., and St. Bonaventure made the Final Four.
Oops, that was 1970.
Let me check again…it was Marquette, UNLV, and UNC Charlotte.
Scratch that. 1977.
Found it. Indiana St., DePaul, and Penn.
Ah, looks like that was 1979.
How about Mississippi St. and UMASS breaking through?
1996.
LSU and George Mason on deep runs?
2006.
Butler and VCU?
2011.
Also, can’t help but laugh at people pumping up the Big Ten champ, who finally didn’t choke as the one seed for once, as an example of parity.

So what's the answer? Be mad all the time, snipe at your neighbors and treat the dog badly until we get back on track? Some want you to only speak of Calipari here like he's the devil or you aren't a fan. Isn't that 3rd grade stuff?? No thanks.
For some strange reason I can't pull for Purdue. I just can't. I don't like Edey more than I don't like UConn. I wanted both to lose their last games but both won. I just hope UConn regresses after this year.
Don’t know or care about parity.
Every NCAA game CBS (CalBeSucking) has lost the Cats had the better team but twice and one of those they were at least the equal of UNC (17). Only IU in 16 was better.

Maybe I wasn’t clear in my post. Sure, there is more parity today in every sport but as you can see, when the cream of the crop (UConn and Purdue all year) is playing well they’re going to win the large majority of the time. UK was once the cream of the crop and if it wasn’t for Triple C we should still be there. We are now the butt of jokes and it’s a shame. Triple C and all sports are never going to make me go goofy (I like all of my neighbors, I’m happy 99% of the time, and I love my damn dog a lot) but UK basketball has ALWAYS been my favorite winter pastime and I just wish that worthless coach would be gone.
This right here proves Cal is a clown for even suggesting regular season doesn’t matter. Only March. If you don’t have a good regular season and get 1 seeds you have a very slim chance of winning a championship
I guess my post wasn't clear, either, as I definitely wasn't referring to you. Was opining. Give the dog a pat for me.
Don’t know if anyone corrected the record here but item about Cincinnati is way wrong (not that it matters)
Unless the information I’m looking up is wrong, 1992 is the only final 4 Cincinnati has been to from 1964 to 2024 which is a 60 year span
Everything is about ccc. He continues to set negative records. This year it was 3 straight home losses. He continues to degrade the fans, ignore his contractual obligations and downgrade the uk tradition. If these things do not rile you, I have to wonder how long you have been a fan
No, not everything needs to be about Cal. You can be a fan of college basketball and have opinions about the game without it being UK or Cal related.
And if you must know I'm 36. I've been a fan since I was old enough to know what was going on. And I can show you my degree from UK, the Cliff Hawkins jersey I wore to school as a kid, and my autographed Dan Issel jersey if you want to question my fanhood.
