Who Still Supports Cal?

UK has only played 2 legit games and are 0-2 with 1 loss to a mediocre team.
Not looking good against OSU next Saturday. When was our last BIG win? In the good ole day, I expected a win every time they took the court. Knowing that they would not always win but expected the W. Now? Can't say the same thing.

He’s a 5th year senior and probably a top 5 pick if he were eligible. He’ll be 19 in May.

Davis was a high school kid by this criteria
Wall was a high school kid.

It’s crap we’re in this situation, but Sharpe is the quickest fix. Sharpe won’t come here if we get rid of Cal. And then how long until we’re good?
Wall couldn’t shoot, AD couldn’t shoot and most elite HS athletes can't shoot when they take this step.
Cal is the problem, the team is loaded with talent

Sure. Wasn’t commenting on shooting. Just saying we’ve had amazing results from high school kids.

You said it’s bad if we have to rely on one—but we’ve had really good runs by relying on kid’s Sharpe’s age.
 
What's worse than people getting angry about losing? Apathy. That is where I am. Cal has no swag. He has always been a salesman but right now he's not selling. Time to move on.
This is my biggest issue. I really gave up caring after a loss. It use to rip my gut out. Now its just meh. Outside of Oscar, there is really no one I am excited to pull for. Its sad really. Oscar deserved better than he will get with Cal at this stage.

It’ll take 1-2 months till Sharpe gets into the flow of things, if at all this season. A lot can happen in that time, mostly bad.

High school kids aren't winning shit in today’s game. You have to be a grown ass man to play now. There's no way Sharpe can fix what's wrong. Cal leaving is the only way.

I do, but it's really really hard. Not sure how much longer I can hold out..

It is hard. I lobbied for Calipari in 2006, but Calipari doesn’t care about Kentucky. We don’t need a coach like that, even if he wins. It’s time he was ran out and shown the door.

And yea, it’s really said. The guy could have been so much more but he chose to go in another direction. It’s no ones fault but his.
 
Some of these guys need to be told to go with Calipari and leave UK to fans that care about the program. I’m sick of gullible fans who haven’t got the brain power to see past a good salesman.
Not only need to be told, but dragged by the nut hairs, if they have any. Just wish a couple of past posters could see how right they were. Maybe they can.

Yes....he's done here. Fans are done with him. His words mean nothing. Nothing he can say will nmatter anymore. He should just go but he won't/ He ain't leaving that money.

I am not sure if it is Cal or the Checkerboard uniforms. Give me a moment to think about it.
You might be onto something. Since we can't get rid of Cal I'd at least like to enjoy the uniforms. Besides the checkerboard bring bad juju and are ugly. We look and play outdated.

I do because I’ve seen the script before.
Cal’s teams struggle the first few months with Freshman and now transfers trying to gel together. Then as conference play starts the team starts to be more cohesive and begins playing better defense.
I think after this L tonight, coupled with Frederick being out for the season you will see Cal play Sharpe starting in January.
Take a deep breath guys, I hate to lose too, but it happens.
BS. These OAD players have talent but don't learn how to play in only one year under Cal. They leave for the draft and after 3 or 4 years in the League, they blossom into good players. They never have a chance to develop here because Cal pushes them out the door to chase the contract dollar. UK and the Program are left with nothing. Cal's version of Wholesale OAD is BS taken to the extreme. Calipari is a self-serving narcissist who doesn't care about UK tradition or the Programs winning heritage. All he wants is to cram as many OAD players into the League and crow about them being his "kids". Sickening. Has he EVER left anywhere on good terms? This is gonna get ugly and Barnhart may go down with him.
 
Bunch of bandwagon pussys. “I’ve wanted him gone for a long time”. Ha.
i ve put up polls all the time (last few seasons) do you want cal gone... and less than 8% said yes.
Now, “I’ve wanted him gone for years”.
lol
Only speak your true feelings with the gang. LOL and pathetic
Feel free to search my history dude. Started a thread three years ago about "Cal Trending Down" and you will find all of the people in your poll (and more) there. And I imagine we'll see you defending Cal in that thread, just as you are now. One day you'll wake up. But you still won't admit to how blind you've been.
 
I still support our coach but I'm currently dangling off the boat.

I said last year I was giving him this year. It isn't off to a rip roaring start.

All that said, I don't think he goes anywhere for at least two seasons. He has a serious class coming in next year, a legacy kid in 2023 and he holds the only key to Wagner.

Just don't see it happening.

I'm more frustrated with him than anything. He "hates losing" but won't adjust so it doesn't happen- i.e. sprinkle in a zone, press, etc.
 
People really got upset with me because I felt like we needed to lose against one of the cupcakes, or an inferior Notre Dame team. I'm not excited that we lost. But if helps to drive Cal away sooner than later, I can most certainly live with it.

This team will likely lose to Ohio State or Louisville, and will get crushed by Kansas. In the SEC, we'll probably lose 6-8 games. And hopefully all of that losing will be enough to be rid of the salesman.
We need some of our big money donors to have a back room deal with Self. Please, Mr. Self, pretty please, don’t beat us by more than 20 on national television. Here’s a check for your trouble.

Yeah, I agree with you, there have some folks outspoken since the kneeling...that is about it. Even guys I get along with who were outspoken never said they wanted him gone....Cawood, Jeff, etc

I suppose I do because I still think he is our best chance to win big and win fast. But losses like this are puzzling. I’ve always been all about winning and don’t care who the coach is and I don’t care how he does it. I’m also not a hype-emotional little b!tch about these December games like most of y’all are.

now…….at the end of the season I’ll re-evaluate this stance.
