That was really good. I actually heard that in my head in Cals voice.
Totally off topic but re: your screen name. Love me some Russell's Reserve. Small batch, shelfer single barrels, barrel picks. RR and WT as a whole are fantastic bourbons. Sorry, back on topic..
My take as an outsider here is some of you want Calipari gone so bad you're willing to jump on the bandwagon of any anonymous newbie poster's claim. Reminds me of when someone flashes a "source" at Iowa that says Brian Ferentz is definitely gone as Iowa's Offensive Coordinator, lol. People are willing to believe whatever makes them feel better-- even if there's little truth to it.
Over 300 posts on this topic since some newbie started it last night. C'mon people.

No newbie. Columbo you ain't.
Fine, take the newbie part out then as I just did. Is this poster known for breaking stories that prove true?

To be fair if he said his source is Mitch Barnhart would you believe him?
In 2009, I knew things hardly anybody else on this board knew. People get information. You don't have to be an insider all the time. It helps to listen when you're told things. Consider the source.
I almost forgot, he gawn.
Well, the biggest problem I have with this post is that @UKortho is far from a newbie. Why would an outsider here have any idea whether a poster is a newbie or someone who has been around a while? I doubt you have any context for OPs posting history so I have no idea why you assume he's a newb. He's not. And he has no history of posting stuff for attention or trolling.
So is he known for breaking stories that prove true, especially one of this magnitude?
Or maybe, just maybe, you wanting to buy in and believe something you desperately want to happen?
I have no dog in the hunt on UK basketball and what ultimately is done. I'm just offering an observation.
No, he's not, and he has even said so multiple times in this thread himself. This isn't something he's known for and he's not backed away from admitting that.
This has nothing to do with me wanting to believe OP is right and this is absolutely going to happen. But what I do believe is OP has gotten some information that he believes to be legit and has shared it here. What I don't believe is that this is something that OP has made up for attention, or to troll.
Why is an Iowa fan invested in this, anyway? LOL
Newby? You obviously didn’t look very close.
For the pricing of it, it's a great brand. I've been in the bourbon industry for decades and I'm very proud of what we offer, these days.
OP isn’t a newbie though. Maybe not a lot of posts but i think he’s been around for a while
I don’t know if the OP is lying/trolling, but, he’s not weaving some elaborate tale to make himself more plausible and past posting g history doesn’t suggest trolling.
Personally, I think there’s something to this. As one poster said.,it’s more of what’s NOT being said by the board and university President
All we can do either way is wait it out and see what happens
I love bourbon..and have my favorites
But have never tried Russell Reserve.
I have no idea if this will come down as the OP suggests but I have hope. I feel better after reading this thread than I have in quite some time. Hope, hope, hope. I don't care how he leaves, just be gone.
I want the Kentucky Era of Calipari to be over and done with. Going through the same thing every year is getting a little too much. Bring in a basketball coach and let's get back to being UK. And I am not worried about Barnhart being AD during the hire. The new coach will be selected by a committee not just the AD. We have enough basketball knowledge at Kentucky to bring in an excellent coach and it is time to do it.

Was liking this Rucker dude on the football board. Not sure if he wants to get into UK basketball squabbles though. My source advised against it. He gonna lose, and lose big.
As I pointed out in a couple other posts here, I stand corrected on the "newbie" comment. Instead, and I simply am speaking from experience on the Iowa boards I'm on, when someone makes a bold claim of high magnitude, does the poster have a previous strong track record of breaking news that comes true? That's my main point.
Trust me, when we as fans aren't happy with something we desperately fall prey to wanting to believe "rumors" or "predictions" that some come out with to help us believe.
As mentioned, time will tell on this.
Fine, it's just an interesting battle for you to dig your heels in and fight right now. We as UK fans and posters here who know OP respect him as a poster and respect the information he's sharing. Yes, time will tell. Obviously.
Oh goodness, well now I'm intimidated.
I offered my perspective that's it. Anything more than that is you just being overly sensitive. When I offered the perspective because we deal with the same **** in Iowa with the Hawkeye message boards, I knew some would take it personally like yourself-- which isn't the intent. I have no dog in the hunt here.
Would you like to take him off of our hands? 90 million will do it. Think it over.
And you're getting crushed on the newbie thing, because apparently you think we're all dumb. Yes, if a newbie had posted this he would have gotten ridiculed off the board and rightfully so. We know the difference.
It's a message board dude...let's not take comments/opinions/observations by posters, regardless of where and who, like it's life or death. It's not.
He obviously knows who the new coach will be and is good with it. [roll]
Calipari isn't my problem. No, I would not want him at our school, and money would be just one reason why.
Jesus man, step back and take a breath. You always like this when it comes to basketball?
You are a smart man,. That is our problem, nobody wants him and why should they?
And this is where it always goes. I'm not taking it as life or death. I'm commenting on the content of this particular thread within the context of the thread. You can get over yourself now if you think I'm thinking about this beyond this thread on this message board.
