refused to consider Calipari when they hired Gillespie, but it's funny what losing will do, it will suddenly make you think there's nothing wrong with Calipari and how he does things.
The college game will be much better once he moves back to the NBA.
The Cal/UK hate. Got what I expected. Guess you all are tired of seeing the Cats in the final 4.
Love the hate.
Kentucky fans universally hated Calipari until they decided to get in bed with him the 2nd time around. He went from scumbag who they couldn't consider to a guy they had to hire to take the program out of the dumpster fire that Gillespie had it in. Now you all act like that never happened the first time around.

First, you are wrong.
I live around nothing but Kentucky fans. My best friends are Kentucky fans. We have discussed this topic. We discussed who we wanted both before they hired Billy G, and after. Many of my friends (and me) wanted Cal both times.

I give it 2-3 years at most before Calipari runs to the NBA when he gets show-caused by the NCAA and Kentucky is put back on probation with the title(s)? possibly vacated
wanted him the first time around, but that's because you were desperate to win and he was the best option to win. As a fan, that's fine.
But then don't come here and wonder why people hate Calipari. You chose to get in bed with him, you should enjoy the hell out of this. But you shouldn't act like there's no reason for people to hate how shady he is. You all felt the exact same way about him, you just are willing to put up with it to win, which is something nearly every fan would do as well. But not every one would then turn the blinders on and act like the other stuff doesn't exist, like Kentucky fans do.

Keep telling me how I felt. And get off your high horse, aren't you a UNC fan? LOL
I just hope UK doesn't go undefeated and take it all this season
The crying over Cal every time UK wins is hilarious.
Seeing that it is borderline ridiculous that he's escaped NCAA sanctions for what he's done to a few programs, anyone congratulating him is hilarious in a different way - in that's it's pretty fucking sad.
you felt the other stuff was what, exactly? Let's hear why you didn't feel he was shady when everyone on the planet, including UK administration, did.
And what about UNC? Where have I put the blinders on? They'll get the punishment they deserve. I don't hide from it, they made their bed, now they have to sleep in it. Whatever that punishment may be.
Truth be told, I was rooting for Kentucky. I wouldn't have been heartbroken if they lost, but they were my preference. The whole "we didn't play well" was just so damn classless. It was a highly entertaining game, and obviously Kentucky didn't play their best. Tell your players that, use this to gain confidence. Even Towns gave the opponent their due for playing their heart out.
are insufferable when they are 22-10. Nevermind 40-0, but it's coming.
They are also by far the least intelligent fan base of any college sports team. Halfback is a rare exception to how stupid they are. He's one of the few intelligent ones despite having the blinders on at times.

He'll bail when the hammer is about to come down, like he has done everywhere else.
WWW is the most shady person on the planet and that guy is Calipari's right hand man.
I had no skin in the game and was rooting hard for ND
but that was one superb basketball game. Really what an NCAA elite 8 game should be all about. Guys battling through foul trouble. Dagger 3's. Well officiated, really a great game.

Yeah I wasn't directing it at him or anyone posting. I live amongst and know a lot of UK fans, many who are friends, but so many UK fans are as bad or worse than the worst Cowboy fans. I never even had an opinion of UK prior to moving to Kentucky, but it didn't take any time at all for me to root hard against them and that all came from being regularly exposed to their fans. It has nothing to do with the school, the players or the coaches.
like this group of players. They don't seem to be assholes. Seem like genuinely good kids. I will root for them to beat Wisconsin and if they ever play Duke I'll be their biggest fan.

No doubt John has completely changed his ways from all his other stops. And the Wildcat boosters are for certain knowledgeable and scrupulous about obeying the rules when it comes to taking care of John's network of AAU coaches and uncles.
It doesn't matter because the NCAA is a joke and Calipari is rubbing their noses in their student-athlete bullshit.
But John, I'm begging you, stop with the "we have a lot of freshman on this team and they were breaking down" nonsense. Please.
Truth be told, I was rooting for Kentucky. I wouldn't have been heartbroken if they lost, but they were my preference. The whole "we didn't play well" was just so damn classless. It was a highly entertaining game, and obviously Kentucky didn't play their best. Tell your players that, use this to gain confidence.

If that was classless then nearly every press conference by a coach, post-game, is classless. But it wasn't classless. It was an honest assessment by a head coach who knows his team inside out. Kentucky rebounded horribly, missed key defensive assignments, and couldn't consistently make five footers in the first half...
And I couldn't care less about Kentucky's success.
But i really have to say that was indeed an arrogant classless PC by him. Especially given the history of unsavory shit he has pulled at other programs
This wasn't a postgame press conference. This was the first thing he said with a mic in his face. The great majority of coaches would give credit to their opponent before saying that their team needed to do some things better.
what Izzo is doing with this garbage squad he has. I don't even think they have one good player. Trice averages 15 points a game but he's a 39% shooter. That's not good. They have no business being in the final four but likely will be
Buzzer sounded well before.
Grant shot it too late for that IMO
The college game will be much better once he moves back to the NBA.
Love the hate.

Kentucky fans universally hated Calipari until they decided to get in bed with him the 2nd time around. He went from scumbag who they couldn't consider to a guy they had to hire to take the program out of the dumpster fire that Gillespie had it in.

Yes, he did, but the rebound would have come well after the buzzer
Grant got that off with less than a second so the ball was at the height of its flight when the triple zeroes hit
Cheering him either is done for the laundry or because somebody doesn't have a fucking clue of that jacknut's history.
He got the shot off in time, but any follow would have been well after the buzzer.
Love the hate.
Yeah right. I'm sure you had nothing but respect for Cal before he came to Kentucky, huh? It's amazing what blinders fans put on when they want to.

Everyone knew at that point how good of a coach he was. But they stayed away because of all of the other nonsense.
That nonsense didn't go away after Gillespie got hired, they just willingly chose to ignore it because they were desperate to win.
So not even the University believes this guy is on the up and up, otherwise they hire him the first time around.

I don't personally know Mitch Barnhardt. I can't tell you what he was thinking when he hired Gillispie. I can say it was a terrible hire, obviously.

Who are you? Why should I answer your questions? Ill leave shortly and let your anti cal circle jerk continue.

halfback20 : 12:10 am : link : reply
Kentucky made it's last 9 FGs and didn't miss after 12:16 in the 2nd.
Kentucky didn't stop ND on three consecutive possessions until ND final three possessions.
Notre dame made 26 fg, 20 were lay ups or dunks. 40 points in the paint.
Read these on another site, can't confirm them
