We are Indiana Now

[UKMKG]

This is how we fade into irrelevance for decades.

Even if that conman makes all these changes (which he won’t), he’s still the same awful in game coach he’s always been. That will never change.

Mitch deserves to be fired for simply delaying the inevitable disappointment. How can you be this out of touch?

F ‘em all

 

[kyboy1998]

We are far from that.

 

[TOMCATS1990]

Yep and the 2nd highest paid Coach leading down the path. I mean at least get there on the cheap side

 

[Nightwish84]

We're going to fade into irrelevance for decades he says. Decades...

 

[UKMKG]

We're going to fade into irrelevance for decades he says. Decades...

We are already at half a decade of irrelevance and a full decade without a Final Four smart arse. It happens fast.

Any chance Duke beats Houston

Drama queens now rule the board!

 

[ruppcat]

We are far from that.

Oh, I don't know about that.

We're closer than many realize.

 

[KAB Cats]

We nEEd to BoyCoTT aLL SpoRtS!!

 

[KAB Cats]

Oh, I don't know about that.

Literally, we are not even close and you don't realize. IU is like 10 games over 500 in the Big 10 over 30 years.

It's not even close. We aren't even Nebraska football. Maybe approaching Auburn or Florida football, but they hire and fire coaches once every two years and still suck.

Indiana was once relevant.

UK was relevant but hasn't been since 2019.

We lost the lead in games, but got it back....but that lead has been cut under Cal.

We're no longer the all time winning tourney team.

No SEC regular season title since 2020 or tourney title since 2018.

Last sweet 16 was 2019 as was the last E8.

Cal's record these past five years is worse than what Tubby's was and he was let go.

We're losing at home to chump teams.

First three game home losing streak at Rupp.

By UK's standards we're becoming irrelevant...hence the comparison to Indiana.

Tubby was let go? Did the Germans also bomb Pearl Harbor in your world?

Okay, all joking aside, compare everything you said with Indiana and we are still miles ahead of them. Let's start with an easy one. We have not been relevant since 19. When was IU relevant??

2019 dude.

IU has been mediocre for 30 damn years, sans a few years with Sampson.

It's not even close to Indiana. Im sorry. It's just math and it's not my fault

I have no idea why some posters go back to 2019 when we had a darn good team in 2020 but couldn't play in the tournament due to covid. I guess it makes it sound better to distort the facts.

I'm going by UK standards. We are being laughed at.

And if we suck again Cal will be gone next year. There is zero chance the admin will keep him on. They were close to going through with it this year.

Cal is being put on notice. It is pretty obvious man. If he doesn't win big next year he won't be here the following year.

He was handed his PIP today. He will either significantly improve or be out this time next year.

 

[saxonburgcat]

Yeah, we have had 4 terrible, bad, no good years. And yeah we are getting laughed at. But, I am not throwing in the towel. I figure if Cal flops again next year the boosters will pony up. We will be back. We are not Indiana. To get there we need another 15 years of failure if not more.

 

[kyboy1998]

Oh, I don't know about that.

We're closer than many realize.

Indiana hasn’t been Indiana since Calbert Chaney graduated in 93 or 4. Even when they went to a lucky title game 22 years ago the pregame was wrapped up with an is Indiana back vibe because they had been down so long…long back then 22 years ago.

 

[NociHTTP]

We're going to fade into irrelevance for decades he says. Decades...

Another one for the blacklist.

 

[Rockfly78]

Not much riles me up for real on here but threads like this pisses me off. For starters, grow a set of balls and open your stupid eyes. We are light years away from being Indiana. Have some damn pride. Stop putting this shit on the internet for Indiana fans to read and repost on their board.

Even if you are dumb enough to believe this tripe, keep it to yourself and stop making us all look weak.

Who won the last NCAA game between the two? And which team fired their coach since?

BS

Total BS

Cal and the supporters will make excuses and deflect.

 

[ukfan1622]

Kentucky will never be Indiana. We'll suck next year and then Cal will be fired and we'll bounce back
within a couple years. And Kentuckians will always be classier than those damned hoosiers.

 

[RunninRichie]

2019 dude.

IU has been mediocre for 30 damn years, sans a few years with Sampson.

Indiana started out “just 1992”. It’s a process. And we’re well down the path.

Yes.

Agree. Kentucky is stuck with Calipari until he's ready to be done. Everyone can thank Mitch for that.

What supporters do you think he has left at UK, seriously?

 

[saxonburgcat]

Who won the last NCAA game between the two? And which team fired their coach since?

Wow! You got me on one. IU won the last head to head tournament game. But, in all honesty, you could say that about Oakland too. I guess we are now Oakland as well.

Look at this thread,

No, they advanced.

You lack the skills to analyze data.

Does a relevant team get poleaxed on National TV? 118-84

 

[HagginHall1999]

Look at this thread,

But that isn't my point. No one on this thread (presumably) works for UK. I don't think he has a good relationship with anyone at UK now. Maybe a decent relationship with Capiluto?

I don't give a FF what people on this board say, I am talking UK brass. If he doesn't win he is gone next year.

This is the equivalent of getting a year end review after multiple mediocre reviews in corporate America. Except this time they made the results of the annual review semi-public and let all of media know there was a question of his future here.

Reading between the lines I see this as make or break for the admin at UK....our year may have been last year or 3 years ago, but the brass is squarely looking at next year. He is toast if he fails and Barnhart has tied himself to it.

I don't even know what game you're talking about to be honest.

But Im guessing you're talking about Kentucky, who had the highest rated games in basketball in 2024. So, I guess to answer your question, maybe?

 

[ace on the river]

How do you know? Was you in the meeting?

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

@crawfords corner , I notice you mock threads like this, but seldom join in to offer why these posts are incorrect.

Care to share with the class why you think UK is still relevant, since you find the OP's point so absurd?

Let's hear it. Why is Kentucky still relevant?

You are too dumb to worry about then. Move along.

So, you go back and dig up every horrible game you can come up with just to prove that UK is as bad as IU. Seriously? Dude, you need to take a course in research. We blew KU out at KU a few years ago. Does that mean that we are better than Kansas? I can help you with that. It was ONE freakin game. In the grand scheme, it is meaningless.

Maybe be careful who you make fun of for being stupid. That person might be more knowledgeable than you can dream of.
