Dude, you are a total jerk. You started with me for zero reason. Buzz off.
I’m not asking for much. Just don’t embarrass us again. Don’t lose any non conference games against cupcakes, get a 1 or 2 seed, win either the conference regular season or conference tournament, and make at least the Elite 8, only losing to another title contender. This should be the bear minimum for Kentucky basketball. We should always be title contenders just like the other blue bloods.
Some folks get pissed when confronted with facts. I don’t care. Just speaks to the integrity of the person.
A person that already made $60 million and is content with that in his mid 60’s.
And get your ass sued off for 52 mill plus court cost and likely punitive damages. Then you’d get fired and not be employable as an AD anywhere
it would be funny watching you try
The whole Cal debate always comes down to ones that look at strictly results vs others that look at things as a whole.
It's a tiring debate so I'm not going to go into it.
But take last season. Some will just look at the St Peter's loss and conclude it was a crap season. Others will look at the season as a whole and figure if you replay that season over and over again, then in theory the results will be there most of the time.
Neither is completely right or completely wrong. Because the truth is if you did take that team year in and year out (and maybe we are a bit healthier in other seasons), you get to where you want to be.
That being said, Cal is paid a massive sum of money...........to get results. So that has to be there more often than not.
I guess just looking at it, I can see both perspectives and understand why 1) some think it will turn around and 2) why others are upset and think it won't.

Cal has pooped the bed really hard with his incredible stubbornness on never changing up defenses, never calling OOB and rarely any other plays, plenty of different kinds of roster mismanagement, patronizing the fans, killing home scheduling and most OOC series, and woke political BS.
If we win a title this year I will be really happy we won a title. Not least because Oscar deserves one. But I really don’t think I’ll have a very good feeling about things going forward even then.
I’ve said forever that I would give him till the end of this coming season to turn things around. But the more I think of it lately….turn things around how? I’m not even sure what good-for-our-program could possibly look like under Cal anymore. It’s gone deeper than just not winning anything in seven years.
He’s done it to himself. And not at all only by losing.

And you realize that Cal’s contract is very different than that of those other coaches, right?
The question is not whether Cal deserves to be fired, instead it’s whether UK can afford to fire him. And here’s the answer: NO, we cannot. UK is in no position to be paying the most expensive buyout in the history of sports, which is what it would take to fire Cal this year (in a couple years it’ll be a different story).
Thus why threads like this are a waste of time. Maybe we could somehow convince Cal to voluntarily step down (although l I seriously doubt it) but firing him just ain’t a financially realistic option this year no matter what happens.
If you fire a coach after losing in the Elite 8 you’re not gonna get anyone good to come here and that’s a fact.
You spelled wishful thinking wrong.
And we’d be interested in 0.0% of the guys who wouldn’t understand why Cal got fired after that particular Elite Eight.
The way you relentlessly defend Cal is weird man. What did Cal do to make you do unflinchingly loyal to him?
They all understand that’s why they wouldn’t come here. It’s not about understanding... you think there’s a bunch of toddlers running around out there come on now.
It’s about the reality that many of the coaches would shun the decision especially after the media got done ripping it.
When will this board realize Cal is going nowhere. No wishful thinking will change that. Get a life.
We are loyal to the UK program. You and others are Cal haters which makes you not loyal to our Wildcats. Complain all you want. Cal is going nowhere.
Somebody please tell me how Calipari's ego gets more "bruised" than by going 9-16 with one of his proclaimed best rosters followed up the next season by getting prison-raped in the first round by St. Peters? BBN please wake up from this fairy tale dream - the fat jagoff ain't leaving on his own anytime soon.
You didn't establish anything. He stated TWO correct facts which you can't refute OR excuse.
FACT: Kentucky went 9-16 in 2021, missing the tournament.
FACT: Kentucky lost to a 15 seed last year, which the majority of the board agrees is one of the worst tournament losses in our long history.
Not only that, but what kind of ahole would Cal be if he stayed just to milk his contract, despite having poor results and the loathing of everyone in the state? His reputation and legacy would be ruined. He'd never work again. He says he's all about the 'kids' but if he did that he'd be all about the MONEHHHSSSS.
fact: it was a COVID year and that affected young teams more heavily.
Fact: A final 8 team that was the most under seeded team in the history of the tournament.
You keep spewing those half truths. Why do you avoid the whole picture Lowcut/Crychicken?
Smart one we got here. Punitive damages for breach of contract isn't a thing, bud.
You're right about one thing finally...Cal is going nowhere....a large chorus of us have been saying this for years, which is why we need a replacement ASAP
Neither of those statements are facts. They are opinions.
Not surprised that you can't tell the difference.
What a boring, 5th grade, immature response. That's the best you've got? Yawn.
Not even remotely close to being FACT....The 19-11 record and second place conference position in the MAAC is what got them a well deserved 15 seed....they were not "under seeded"....they just got hot and were fueled by beating us "UK"....Seeding is done before the tournament, not after....prior to the tournament they were just another 15 seed with a crap resume to prove it
Now that is FACT....so run back to your fiction and misunderstanding of the seeding process
So you got scared an pulled out the alt Lowcut/Crychicken? They were in fact underseeded as defined by their seed versus final finish. Go make more alts. You need reinforcements.
False. Those are opinions and everybody but you knows it. You're just whistling past the graveyard at this point. Back to your holler.
So final results are the true indicator of seeding?
So based on YOUR logic, we were the most OVER seeded team in the tournament. Based on results, we should have been a 10+ seed. So in other words, Cal has now had TWO crap years in a row. Right?
You can't have it both ways, Skippy.
You can’t have it any way tiny. No matter what you say, we faced a final 8 team as a w2 seed in the first round. With three injured or recovering guards. Facts suck huh, Lowcut/Crychicken/hurtwhiny.
