Lol, this forum is why I normally only post in HOB. It's ridiculous. Someone needs to call out the ridiculousness. Tired of seeing coach & players bashed. It's wrong! Much worse than me calling it out. I can't imagine a true fan being like that.
This situation with sharpe is why fans are turning on cal.

It is really quite sad, isn’t it? Either they are some trolls, or I feel bad for them. I truly feel bad for whatever life they think they’re living.
Who's bashing the players? Please, cite evidence of that. After calling people mentally sick and then making a ridiculous claim like that?
Who do you idolize more: Coach Cal or John MacArthur?
I think he referenced the coach and players being bashed. Its not really idolizing someone to say maybe we shouldn't bash the entire makeup of the program based on the hypothetical that a player leaves after the season.
It’s just a reference to his name incorporating the very slogan/brand/website of a preacher, then calling people worthless. Seems to me that Jesus said to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you and things like that. If my username is a New Testament greeting and John MacArthur shoutout, I’m being careful about the words I use and the way I engage.
Just come to this forum tomorrow if UK loses tomorrow & observe.
BTW, it's ok to bash coaches? It's actually bad either way. Rather than stomping & going into a "I can't stand that Calipari" rant there's a way to respect what Cal has done hear & in his career & graciously state what one does not agree with. That's not the case. Some posters on hear have anger towards like like he stole their wife. And most of it is just very shallow & not substantial...like OP's post. I mean, my goodness. Who doesn't know that roster uncertainty is a problem most college basketball teams face today? Why post like it's a Cal thing? Baseless
A lot of fans like myself & many others are tired of seeing it & reading it. Needs to be called out. Mods need to clean house, but they will not so....posters need to be called out.
Good day sir
I'm just saying that not everyone who is defending the program is idolizing Calipari. I don't think any of you are worthless or whatever.
I was saying it directly to him, tongue in cheek. He shows up and starts calling people mentally sick and worthless, while it’s very clear he wants people to know of his association with Christianity. I find that peculiar. Don’t you? Did Jesus go around calling people worthless? Does John MacArthur likely do so? Just seems like a bad look to me. Like when a dude has the Christian symbol on his car and flips you off. Just seems counterproductive.
So you're more upset at me for making sense & suggesting that these posts should stop? Ok. I'm the real problem here. How dare I get fed up for reading a fanbase go awol for the last year about our coach & players. And knowing we have a ton of trolls on this free site that love to show up & stir the pot.
Was my of wording it very good? Nope! Could I have chosen better words & had a better manner? Certainly! But after reading the nonsense for 1-2 years & keep on harping on it right in the middle of a good season & a great team was my breaking point. No excuse, but still.
And I'll say regardless of you're username you need to think about how you post. Me included. BTW, my username has zip to do with John MacArthur.

Their knowledge runs deep because of all the national championships The Miserables have won.
I removed the post but try not to take to seriously some calling whoever the trolls are "worthless trolls". There are things you'd say on a message board you don't really mean about the individual in life. It's like street talk. Does it make it ok? Nope.
I think trolling any forum, pretending to be a UK fan, is pretty elementary. But as elementary as they are...they're not worthless in the literal use of the word.
I'll be more thoughtful next time. Thank you
I’m not upset with you. I just find it peculiar that someone who is explicitly Christian comes into a thread and starts telling others they are worthless and mentally sick. Just seems like, I don’t know, the OPPOSITE of grace?
And I disagree with your last statement. Your username, and any username like it, necessitates that you conduct yourself a certain way the the rest of the folks aren’t expected to. I’m not going to get into my story, but I know that you’re an ambassador and are supposed to live in a manner worthy of the gospel. And if I’m you, or anyone else in that group, I’m trying to be as gracious and compassionate and loving and kind and forgiving as humanly possible, even when, or especially when, there are people on the board that make you lose your mind.
I appreciate that. I just posted below before seeing this. And I apologize also. I don’t always use the best words on this board either, and can be rude and sarcastic. I actually really dig Jesus, but have had negative experiences with many of his peeps.

Sounds good and all till something happens. Look at all the portal activity every year now. Again I’m not saying I know either way. Just saying anything is possible.
I’m not grasping at anything. I literally have no idea what would happen. Same as you.
What a stupid thread. OP is like the most negative Troll on here with his own agenda.
I know I'm not going to cry and whine about something I can't control. My team is on the floor

If you come here on a basketball scholarship you should play basketball.
That won't always be the case with Cal here ,don't see how any fan would like that
but it is what it is. We won't change it and Cal won't change. Like the poster above said my team is on the floor

Oh, okay, so you admit there were no players being bashed, just predicting it.
Maybe you shouldn't post so angry. Makes you look bad.
Wow you asked yourself some easy questions there. Nothing like being your own critic to deflect from your own bad behavior.
You didn't just suggest that posts should stop - you called people mentally sick for criticizing Calipari.
That's cult behavior.
Not true, I have plenty of ideas about what can/will happen.
I'm just willing to voice them.
You are not.
You have guesses but no facts. My guess would be we see him once or never but I don’t know this to be true. You actually said something as fact with no inside knowledge of it. You seem to just want to argue. Fact: I said nobody knows what goes on behind the scenes and threw out random possibilities as simply maybes. You just didn’t like one of them for some reason. So don’t believe what you don't want to believe. It doesn’t bother me you have a difference of opinion.
I've already told you, Kyle Tucker said Cal knew about Sharpe's draft status.
That's a FACT.
You don't even listen, let alone think.
Being draft eligible equals going to the draft?
That isn’t how it works.
Now, granted, if a guy is a projected top 5 pick, he is almost assuredly gone, but that still doesn’t change the fact that nothing has been decided yet that we know about.
Even if Cal knew he was planning to leave, I don’t fault Cal for taking the chance on him.
If Sharpe decides to play tomorrow and Cal plays him, then great.
If Sharpe decides not to play and Cal let’s him practice, then big deal.
But getting him on campus was not a bad thing, regardless of the outcome.
But Cal can’t force the kid to play. It doesn’t work that way. He can tell him to play or leave, but that would be a terrible move, IMHO. It would hurt recruiting in the future for sure.
But go ahead and be outraged. You guys are good at it.
I’ll just enjoy this season, whether Sharpe plays or not.

I agree they know things as fact. But things change all the time and we don’t know what they are. Personal attacks let me know you are a young guy. I’m not even sure what you are arguing about since I actually said I didn’t know. Think about that.
well see how effective that is
you're just polluting the board like the people you want to call out
His Wheeler gem of a thread wasn’t enough.
Well, I see I am not the only person that lowcountry doesn’t like on here. LOL!
I think it’s a bs situation and wish none and done didn’t exist, but other than having a conversation on a forum about it I give zero $#@$ about it and don’t miss an ounce of sleep over it. Some like conversations about it but doesn’t mean we are all in on burning Cal’s house down.
Now if those Auburn pukes win this weekend then I will need an extra glass of bourbon.
It’s funny though that it hasn’t happened yet, in fact nothing has changed since the moment he committed so far yet we have 6 threads of this same crap. It’s ridiculous.
