When contacted he was surprised by this, because has already taken his name out of consideration for this threadRick barnes threads
Not necessarily a topic, but when anyone uses the term "sextino." It's neither clever or funny.
The Pitino sex jokes were funny the first couple of days the story came out! Now, not so muchNot necessarily a topic, but when anyone uses the term "sextino." It's neither clever or funny.
Just curious, but why would Cal to the NBA be on the list? I want the info personally.
Carrier is the best player in the open gym scrimmages.
I know of at least one poster you're talking about . His name starts with cane lol .Posts that say a player is either picking us or not picking us, but providing no proof or source, as if their declarative statement standing by itself should be taken as gospel. I don't know how many of those we saw on the day Murray committed that simply stated categorically that he was going to Oregon.
so and so can't beat us(insert team name), we would kill them.player comparisons
All the variations on Cal can't coach. Two of my favorite are:
1. We let the air out of the ball and almost lost to Kansas
2. Cal can't win a title without an all-time great player (this one used to be Cal can't win the big one, but the goalposts moved)
Oh, almost forgot the new classic...
"Among the 8 coaches who have been to 6 Final Fours or more, Cal has the second worst percentage of Titles won per Final Four appearances."
It takes work to make our Hall of Fame coach look bad, but our fanbase is up to the task.
A couple of things. It is silly when usernames are sure they know more about recruiting or game strategies than Calipari and Stoops know. Along the same lines, it's humorous when usernames think they know more about running a successful athletic department than Barnhart. But the most cold and irritating thing is when fans who have never known a certain high school player get critical about the player's choice of colleges in a high handed way, as if they know what is best for his life. But on the other hand, most of our fans seem knowledgeable and considerate of our coaches and players.Mine is mock drafts
LOL! If Rondo played for Calipari, he would have left for the NBA a year sooner and made more money.What if Rondo had played for Calipari.
Number 1, gotta disagree. Getting irritated about it is one thing, but we did let the "air out of the ball" or however someone wants to phrase it. I guess if hearing about it is annoying I feel ya.
number 2, this is a point that is destined to be used by most rival fans and some weirdly hard lined mega fans for differing reasons. I personally believe one thing is sure however, Cal will have multiple championships when he's done. At the end of the day he's going to stockpile too much talent not to. I think thats great, btw, and it's one of the reasons I was so happy to get him. I knew with his recruiting potential it would be a sure thing that he wins for multiple championships. Where I get into trouble around here is I actually think there are coaches who could win 3 or maybe even 4 with our talent level, but again, Cal isn't going anywhere right now. He could achieve it.
on 3, Speaking in specific tones about what Cals percentages are before he's done is being short sighted, but if we do in fact only get 1, in say, 10 years, out of 6 or 7 final fours, it will have a 90's Atlanta Braves sting to it. And you will always hear the stories of how there should've been more. There's no way around it because the talent level is too high and Cal is far to good to walk with one.
Example number 12,367...
Our fans constantly go overboard trying to qualify and diminish our coach's historic accomplishments.
And it isn't like most do it in an academic way. There is clearly a great deal of unwarranted hate (as well as Hall of Fame levels of arrogance).
I think the opposite most of the time. I think most people think cal is a legend. Rupp, Smyth, K, etc. I actually think cal is good enough to be at those marks. I actually think he will be, but I'm not going to judge the guy on the standards of Bill Self or Jim Boheim because I feel he's extremely superior to those types.
