Who will the Cal haters give credit to after we upset Aurburn this afternoon?

[stereonut]

He will show up and proclaim he’s here to “eat crow”.
Then, all will be forgiven until the next loss or struggle.

 

[1STSergeant]

We know Auburn will come out fired up. I deleted my post. Sorry for saying that

No sweat. I get worked up when we play too

 

[UKAlum84]

Upset Auburn? The same UK team that beat them in first half has been missing the 2nd half.

 

[1STSergeant]

Go Big Blue

 

[The Snoke]

Ok Sergeant Carter. We got you. Goollly. Enough.

 

[CatPatrick13]

Credit where credit is due. Awesome team win!!!!! Congrats Cats!

 

[1STSergeant]

Hall of Fame Coach. Give credit where credit is due.

 

[1STSergeant]

Ok Sergeant Carter. We got you. Goollly. Enough.

Great win. GO CATS

 

[chroix]

Your mom for giving you internet access.

Tell her thanks from the rafters.

I consider myself in the crowd that is ready, and has been ready for some time now, for a change as UK coach. An upset of Auburn changes nothing. I will give credit to him as well as the players for a good game.

That said, I am ready for a new coach at Kentucky. The very fact we are sitting here calling this an "upset" win - against Auburn, for GOD'S Sakes....

if that doesn't tell everyone Kentucky NEEDS a new head coach, then nothing, unfortunately, will.

But good JOB Cal. You did your JOB. Keep doing your JOB.

 

[Deli owl]

This board has gone from a basketball board to an attack anyone with different opinions board. This truly is the mods fault if indeed they wanted to change it. If they don’t then here we are.

 

[Slowwalker]

Maybe if the guy could win more than one game in a row we'd have something else to talk about.

I forgot…how many games in a row has it been?

 

[1STSergeant]

I understand if your mind is made up. I'll love them with or without Cal.

 

[Eagles_Ball]

Are you a hater if you’re critical? Because, and I mean this with all sincerity, if you can’t be critical of his job performance the last few years then you’re as much a nut hanger as the rest are “haters”. Tonight was freaking awesome. But just like we shouldn’t overreact to individual losses, we shouldn’t overreact to individual wins. This game is forgotten if we exit the first weekend in MM. It’s also forgotten if we go to the FF. Just enjoy the win and the night.

Credit to Cal and his staff for getting this team ready tonight and very likely changing the course of our recent path to a crappy season ending.

This. And screw the OP.

 

[TankedCat]

Hey, I have no problem saying Cal is responsible for this win

that said, its February 17 and we're not in the top 16 of the tournament

Its gotta be more than one well coached game after a particularly bad coaching stretch on his part.

 

[ukfan1622]

I think the op has his answer. Even the worst Calipari critics who are actually UK fans are willing to give him credit when the team performs.

 

[crestcat]

Loved the win and the way we played. I’ll credit the win to Cal for having the team ready and to Pearl for having his team too pumped.

We've been bad. Cal has been bad. This is not Kentucky basketball. Before today, we were projected as a 7 seed. That's not Kentucky. No way, shape, or form. Tonight was a good way to flip the script, and to get shit right.

We've been bad (and good) this season. Throw in some D and we are dangerous.

Great take Sergeant Carter. Who knew?

Only team who wouldn't have been an underdog at Auburn today was UCONN. That game would've been a pickem. So every team in the nation winning at Auburn would've been an upset. Just an FYI.

 

[TankedCat]

Between 1990 and 2015, Kentucky went 33-1 against the Tigers.

the Tigers lead 6-5 in the last 11 matchups thru 2021, now 7-6 after tonights win

Well, what happened was that Pearl improved the Auburn basketball program and they really sucked between 1990 and 2015. You missed it because you were tanked.

oh is that what happened after 2015?

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

John Doe has the upper hand tonight.

 

[The Snoke]

Thanks Gomer.

not only that but that happened

 

[BlueSince92]

Oh, I absolutely give credit to Cal for turning a win over *Auburn* into an upset.

WTG 😉 👍🏻

Guess that's one way of looking at it.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Sure. He isn't the greatest of all time. That doesn't account for the nastiness here.

K also lost 4 times in the round of 64.

It isn't Calipari's distance from being the greatest coach of all time. It's his politics that got the current hydrophobia going.

Lmfao goodness!

 

[liveblue92]

I have a feeling this will be a moot point soon Brad, but go off I guess.

Old take exposed. Great win!

 

[know1]

I'll give credit to all those missed wide open 3 point shots by Auburn.

 

[liveblue92]

Absurd. Politics only add gasoline to a lit and blazing fire.

I think politics play into it to a degree but in both directions. It feels like most of the people who defend him at all costs, even when unwarranted, are pretty liberal.

I don’t personally care what his politics are, I just want him to win.

 

[chroix]

I do think not making the top 16 list was a motivator. Thank you CBS.

that article of anonymous coaches say he sucks at teaching defense motivated him,

Too bad it didn't come out in November.

Cal talking trash on February 17 after 3 straight losses at Rupp....man...only Cal could be that tone deaf.

 

[Fox2monk]

^^^ nailed it. There are plenty of people on here that even if we ran the table and won the NCAA Tournament this year, they'd still want Cal gone and give him zero credit.

Very few, almost everyone on here wants results. If he has a great run and makes a final 4 or somehow wins it then come back and try again.

That’s how you know he’s not old Cal. One good win and he’s taking shots. Old Cal would have tried to run the table and then talk shit all post season or off season.

 

[truebluewildcat]

I think the answer is in the thread title.

UPSET Auburn...

I suppose historically it's accurate.

Not a lot of UK coaches have been in a position to UPSET Auburn.
