wait wait wait…did he really use the phrase “they aren’t machines”
Typical Cal ... loses Exhibition to TCU
- Thread starter Dreklie
- Start date
The jury is still out on every team. Beating a down Kansas team in exhibition is not a reason to get the bighead. Losing on the road to TCU in an exhibition is no reason to throw the season away.
Just like UK playing mediocre in the last exhibition is no reason to throw the season away like a few of our fans seemed to imply: "going to be a long year". The jury is still out on everyone.
But I will say this on Cal...I know TCU is not Garner Webb or Evansville etc, but Arkansas losing brought back some very bad Cal memories from the UK days.

That's why smart coaches play division 2 teams to build the confidence before the season.
Smart ones.
Dumbasses play Power four teams in the preseason!
Now your team has some doubt...enjoy. idiot
Mindset is important.
And where was The mighty Johnel Davis? He not play?

How far into the season will he break out the “don’t get on these kids , bring it at me “ line , lol .
Not much of a facilitator either. Kind of Archie Goodwin lite.
If he's not putting up numbers being their leading scorer ....I don't think they're going to be very good. He is their engine.. if he ain't running they ain't running.
Cuz you ain't going to get threes from DJ Wagner and boogie fland consistently against good defense.
After we beat UNC I went over on the UNC and Duke boards to see what they were saying about it . The consensus on both boards were “they’re super talented but Cal will screw it up “ . They were right.
If a coach only has 5 players to practice at this level, he should be fired immediately. There is no excuse for that type of incompetence at his experience level.
So has Aaron Torres . Guess it’s easier at Arkansas. Who knew? lol
Give it up man. Cal isn’t here anymore. You can stop with the obsession
The "Bennies" have been saying that since 2015. And yet it took Cal firing himself to get rid of him in 2024.
And, yes. I am a "Bennie".
Every day is Groundhog Day with Cal.
He simply doesn't have the ability to change.

I’m right there with you. I wanted him gone a very long time. Back then people thought we were the delusional ones……
Yet Arkansas fans were bragging how they beat the number 1 (preseason ranking) team in the nation and how we were playing cupcakes and could not match up to their great team.
You are right though you might be underestimating what we could guess he will say.
This might have been mentioned already, but Chin did the pre-game interview for the TCU game. Kenny Payne did the previous exhibition pre-game. As the first season as the head coach, I think you should do all of those, at least early on.
I didn't even watch it, but that is hilarious 🤣
Who needs a 90ppg offense when you could have Brad Calipari? He’s gonna make sure those baskets are earned, not given.
Cal is too good for these meaningless media things, I wonder if he write that into his contract. He gets paid the majority thru that kinda stuff, but he doesn’t have to do them.
I think you are really shortchanging Cal because that isn’t accurate. Regarding life on/around the court, draft night is only a fraction of what matters to him.
Signing days in the fall and spring also matter because that feeds draft night.
So, draft night is 1/3 of what matters to him…see just a fraction 😉🤣
