Watching Arkansas with Gratitude

[rnfoster]

This is early and maybe Arkansas comes back and beats Tennessee, but watching the game, makes me grateful for our team! We may lose several SEC games and we need to improve our rebounding and opening ten minutes, but our players play hard for the team and are well coached. That is enough for me.

Isn't it wild that Coach Pope put our team together at the last minute and Arkansas is built with a Coach Cal pedigree. We really are so much better than what could have been. Our guys bleed blue. Not so sure about what we would have had from Cals current team.

Holy shit Arkansas is a disaster lol. So glad I don’t have to deal with Cals coaching and DJ Wagner running point anymore

Butler > DJ and it’s not close. The one guy they have I really want is thiero.

Cal in that jacket. 😂 Thank you Arkansas.

 

[gbl97]

I probably would have stopped watching a month ago if Cal was still here. Couldn't take anymore.

A .500 squad with 0 Q1 wins.

 

[TheBlueMist]

Watching Cal argue (like a mad man) obvious fouls by Arkansas is like seeing your crazy ex posting rants online about her new boyfriend.

Satisfying.

What's even worse is that some of the guys could have played for Pope (I think), but they chose to follow the others off the cliff.

I’m buying a bag right now. Chicken nuggets for dinner kids.

 

[Mash 2.4]

They look just like what Cal envisions his teams being. A mediocre NBA team on the road half assing their way to a loss. Cals done.

 

[ukcatz12]

I was just thinking the same thing. It's not an apples to apples comparison, because UT is probably better than UF and Arkansas is on the road and not at home, but jeez the difference is stark.

Yeah, what is with that? Wonder if Arkansas AD told him he is going to have to not dress like a slob anymore, so he decided to try and look like Bear Bryant or Denny Crum. Could definitely see him playing shuffle board in Del Boca Vista with that dress coat.

You know there's an old sticky butterscotch candy in one of the pockets. Or a donut.

Yes, we should send them some NIL money for helping us out. 😃

Well said!

At least Arkansas will have some players in the NBA. 😃

It'll be the biggest night in arkanfat basketball history

Calipari riding around Fayetteville...

 

[3Eye]

Thiero is the only player I would take from Arkansas.

 

[ManitouDan]

no Z Seven minutes into half 2 .
Watching arky attack the zone with dribble , lol 😂

 

[gbl97]

Thiero is the only player I would take from Arkansas.

I think he would come back to UK next year if Pope offered.

 

[ManitouDan]

I think he would come back to UK next year if Pope offered.

His steal and left handed thunder slam was impressive

 

[ManitouDan]

It was unusual to watch the reaction from the Arky bench .. hellacious left handed slam and there was very little to no reaction on the Arky bench

Serenity Now!!!

Red just ain't Cal's color.

Neither is Blue.

We're gonna be in the pool. We're gonna be in the clubhouse. We're gonna be all over that shuffleboard court! And I dare you to keep me out!

 

[YardCat]

I would love to have Big Z and Therio on this team. But, they chose their own path and I wish them well. I’m sure if Cal was still here with his team we might have 5 losses already and could be looking at another NIT bid.

No doubt about that.

 

[Bkocats]

I’m not gonna trash Arkansas too bad. They lost on the road to the #1 team in the country
We lost by 20 last week to an unranked team at a neutral site
That being said…I’d take my coach and this team over Calipari and his any day

I watched some of that game, and I did not think UT played that well but still mopped the floor with the hogs. Cal still doing the same old stuff, so glad he is the hogs problem now.

Thiero could have helped with rebounding, but he chose to play for ccc a 2nd time. Guess the money was all he wanted

 

[runt#69]

It's a good feeling with Cal gone, and a new direction here. I'm thankful we don't have to put up with the end product he continually brought year after year for the past 5 years. It wore thin.

Thankfully us LoD folks finally won out (again)! (I'll share credit... 😉)

Go Big Blue !

Will write a thank you letter, but won't purchase their product to help ccc's nil

True

 

[rick64]

The entirety of BBN should send the Arkansas AD and president thank you cards for saving UK basketball from any further pain and anguish watching CCC 'coach'.

I’d say mediocre G league team though.

poor mans wimp sanderson

 

[hotelblue]

sadly, i missed the uk game. i walked in to see the end of the hogs/vols game. ark had 40 points with 10 min. left. i had thanksgiving in my heart.

ut has great defense, but even in a blowout ark barely managed to get 50. the worst looking, bricked 3 point shooting i’ve seen in a long time.
