are delusional. was trying to explain to them, “It’s not a diss on Arkansas—Kentucky fans don’t really think about them or consider them rivals. It’s about John Calipari, obviously. The expensive tickets last year for the UK vs Ark game was because of John Calipari and former players returning to Rupp and really has nothing to do with people caring about Arkansas or making them our 'super bowl'."

Kentucky fans are the most obsessed and passionate fan base in the country, and they’re obsessed with the coach they had for 15 years. Arkansas is no different than any other decent but relatively obscure basketball program. Kentucky fans have many other rivals and interests—Duke, UNC, Kansas, UCLA, UConn, Louisville, Tennessee, Indiana, etc.

If you polled UK fans about their top rivals before Cal left, Arkansas would be like 15th or something, and that’s only because they’re in the conference. But they’re like, “Y’all are so obsessed with Arkansas” LMAO.

It gives off major “Hey, please think about us—and don’t make it about Calipari, make it about us!” vibes.

We probably need a new coach because our effort has been awful it's not just the recruiting. Too many on here obsessed with freshmen who haven't been responsible for winning the title since 2015.

its not even about the freshman recruiting, thats bad, but the transfer recruiting is really poor too, missed on almost everyone we wanted and had to overpay for mid

And the fake fans on here like yourself will love it. Most of you worship Cal. We aren't good now but the guy who won 8 games 20-21 season. Won one tourney game between the NCAA and sec tourney teams 21, 22, 23 and 24. Miserable lot.
you will keep the glass half full with your ******** after we get waxed....i'm sure of it genius.

I don't run to the message board to ***** before and after games. I say we'll lose but since cal left, some of you wanted him here for years to come.

I’d love to beat the hell out of Arkansas eventhough I’m not expecting a win at all. I did not care at all about Cal and some of the players going to Arkansas but it sucked losing Thiero.
What was really bothersome to me was some of our players even our very own in state born and raised was rocking Hogs gear. Like a slap in the face and to me that’s the only thing that I had some rival worth content to dwell on.
I appreciate the Calipari run here and how he put Kentucky back on top. Then again he made it all about himself in the end and we suffered for it.
Now at Arkansas he’s back to being his old self and seems a lot healthier and happier. I swear he aged 20 years in the 5 years here and I was honestly worried about him. Like showing signs of dementia. I never wish ill will on nobody and glad to see him and Ellen doing good. That being said we owe Arkansas a vengeful beating but it’s just not gonna happen.

Why do we play the season? We should just play the NCAA tournament. All the haters want to say he won 1 NCAA Game. However, they pick the years they want to talk about and conveniently, it is the games or years that fit their agenda. Guess what, UK might not win another tournament game for several years. Enjoy the season. At least most of Cal's teams played hard and had a chance to win at the end. Yes, he lost some lopsided games too, but so did Pitino, Hall, Sutton, Tubby, Rupp, and anyone else that coaches. It is not about worshiping him. It is about giving him credit for what he did and be thankful for the good times he brought to our program. Now, we have to find someone else, because Kentucky Basketball is in a Fragile time in its history. UCLA, Louisville and Indiana's programs crumbled and so can ours if we are not careful.

A win at Arkansas might turn-around a lot of the displeasure. However, that outcome does not appear promising. Another blow-out will be really bad for everyone.
UK is gonna get it's *** handed to it and served up with a fkn well dressed salad as a pre school beat down before the real sht happens in the 2nd half.

genuinely have the lowest IQ and embarrass themselves more than any fan base in the SEC, and this has been demonstrated and proven many times. I was trying to explain to them, “It’s not a diss on Arkansas—Kentucky fans don’t really think about them or consider them rivals. It’s about John Calipari, obviously. The expensive tickets last year for the UK vs Ark game was because of John Calipari and former players returning to Rupp and really has nothing to do with people caring about Arkansas or making them our 'super bowl'."

It gives off major “Hey, please think about us—and don’t make it about Calipari, make it about us!” vibes. They’re genuinely a pretty pathetic and desperate fan base.

We don’t love it. We hate it. But we aren’t living in fkn denial. We suck. Nobody’s a fake fan for calling it what it is.

Tons of teams beat us and will beat us this year. My post was them desperately wanting this to be about them. They want a blue blood to hate them and care about them but we don't. We care about Calipari.
Before Calapari Arkansas was giving us hell. Yea they will never be us in the long run.. but they’ve kind of been kicking our *** even when Cal was here.

That’s why it’s fire Cal and fire Pope. Maybe Cal retires and Arkansas hires Pope when we fire him.

I lived in Little Rock for a couple of years. It was like stepping back into the 50's.

And they have big hatred for UK. It was surprising. It was like 2007-2009, when neither team was even great lol.

The Bud will be rocking Sat night. Only time ive ever seen players grab their ears was when Cal got ejected from the game a few years back. KY players grabbed their ears it was so loud. Then turned it on,came back to whip our arse.

If our 3s are falling this team is near unbeatable at home. I jist think we are gonna be locked in.

Good luck and hope those that come down have a good visit to Fayetteville.

We don't have the heart to fight out a game with Arkansas athletic players. Plus you know just like last year Cal will be motivated for this game and his team will be too. Might be ugly honestly.

There are full breakdowns on this board and celebrations every time Arkansas loses. It’s because y’all hate Cal, but Cal is the Arkansas coach. LOL at making a distinction about the clear obsession.

Worshipping a coach that did more for UK, KY, and the people in the state is better than worshipping a disgusting, old vampire that bangs ****** in ****** restaurants and provides underage kids with prostitutes.

I wonder which is in your spank bank.

I think the majority of the board wanted Cal outta here. Then it came out that he was flirting with Ohio State. He obviously had worn out his welcome and it was best that both parties split ways. Now, if we have had a good AD we would have waited a bit until making a hire like we did. Obviously it’s not going the way Mitch wanted it to. We can’t let him around the next hire!

You do realize that both Pope and Cal have a 38-19 record as of today over the last 2 years, right? Pope is 15-11 in the SEC. Cal is 16-10. Not really the picture you are trying to portray of this massive difference. The situation here wasn't at all rosy for Cal and what he has done at Arkansas, he would not have been able to do here because he didn't have the necessary NIL support from the boosters. Pope hasn't delivered on the results that we all hoped for but don't make it seem like Cal has been a world beater because he hasn't.

Some of my fondest memories of being a Razorback fan was the 90's Nolan vs Pitino games when it was a Rivalry . Going into Rupp for the first ever SEC meeting and giving Pitino his first ever home loss all the way to the Super Bowl Sunday game . Arkansas Kentucky was must watch TV .

The Hogs after Nolan certainly fell off the map until Musselman came along . I totally get how Kentucky fans would look to other programs as their rival and ya'll certainly have a few . For Arkansas though (in basketball) Kentucky is the game we want to win the most .

Hoping Pope can get yall rolling .... Game is a lot more fun when both team are playing an exciting brand of basketball .

I appreciate the kind words and candor. That said, you are 38-19 in the Calipari era lol. May want to get rolling yourself first.

Arkansas fans can crow all they want now, this won’t last, Kentucky will get this fixed. They know this even if they don’t want to say it. They are playing good basketball right now and are a good team, meanwhile Kentucky is struggling and will this season. They can enjoy this while it lasts but you know it’s going to be different soon.
