Yeah, like, "Bro. Cal didn't suck for all 15 years" He did win a title and have several FFs. But sure, higher standards. Clown coach for a clown fanbase. Truly a match made in Hell.

I'm not buying any of this. My opinion: Calipari gets a pass this season, no matter what happens. I doubt it will be a losing season, but anything is possible.

December includes...
At Miami (not impossible, but tough), then neutral game with Michigan (which will be tough).

Then comes the SEC, which is gonna be tough for everyone. 18 games of murderer's row. He's got 2 losses already with a couple more likely before January. OOC 9-4 is likely. I bet 10-8 is the best he'll do in the SEC, could be worse. So, 19-12 is likely, and a bubble team.

But 8-10 in the SEC and 17-14 overall is also possible, which leaves them an NIT team. From what I've seen of Arkansas so far, they're gonna have a tough time winning anything on the road.

Having said all this, I still say it's a free pass this season for Cal. They've inversted too much to drop him quickly. Do it again next year and they'll lose patience with him quickly.

I've already seen Arkansas fans worried because they just went 0-3 with Abaev , Cenac, and Wilson, add in 0-2 against good competition and Cal saying things like they havent scrimmaged much. they have like 5 walk on types , they can easily scrimmage to some degree.

I think that OzzyMaverick guy is just seeing how many Arkansas fans he can get riled up while at the same time knowing UK fans hang on every quote like that.

But what speaks volumes now is Antigua at Illinois and Welch taking on a coaching gig. They knew that is was more of the same, and don't forget Jai Lucas - another coaching one and done for Cal.

Cal wants a built-in excuse every season now.

- injuries
- not enough players to scrimmage
- no practice against a zone yet

The dude is just a walking excuse at this point. Same shit he was doing at Kentucky when we sucked.

The original source is Pilgrim though. And Pilgrim has a solid reputation for getting good info.

I mean, would we doubt that Cal's system at Arky is disorganized when we saw the exact problems here?
