Which is why you are perfect for their fanbase.
No. I can think for myself and don’t think any coach is perfect and beyond reproach. But you and a few others here think Cal is God like, so UL really needs totally blind fans now really bad.

So he says it 200 times and then you and your ilk ***** about it 200 times. As far as yesterday it was the first tourney game for a team lead by freshman.
We all knew that, idgit we don’t need reminded every game or press conference.

I don't care about the NBA im a UK fan. I want and expect to compete for titles i don't care anything about the NBA. Im all about UK being the best it tcan be. You brought up K, he gets 1 round picks to return. They seem to care more about the brotherhood and education then oh boy im using UK just to get to the stupid NBA. That is amazing, that is why K has won 5 titles since freaking 1982, and why he is the all time wins leader.

You talk about not one freshman hasn't been drafted outside the first round, i can't think of one either but there was some that was not ready and never got a second contract. My issue is not with recruiting my issue is with Cal Forcing everyone to put their name in the draft all the way down to the walk ons. Geez let us grow over a few years as a team for once instead of roster tunover every year.
I understand that I'm not talking about the NBA I'm talking about the individual players. We can't recruit the best have the success we have had without players with NBA aspirations .These kids see college like any other student. It's a means to an end. It is their training for their career choice of NBA player. Cal just looks at it from a realistic perspective.

i love Cal i just disagree with players first NBA NBANBANBA. It's a shame because honestly, he could have had one of the greatest title runs in history next to UCLA if he didn't force kids to go. Cousins wanted to stay, MKG wanted to stay. NBA isn't going anywhere.
You are completely delusional if you think there was ever any chance of Cousins or MKG staying. You're talking about 2 guys from poor backgrounds who were projected top 5 picks. There was never, ever, any chance at all they were coming back.

Them saying they wanted to stay is just a compliment to how much they enjoyed playing at UK, not a realistic statement about what they wanted to do.

God like. Lmao! All you do here is ***** about Cal, the team, and what he says. You need to become a UL fan because that’s what they do- ***** about UK.

It' not a complaint, it' a old excuse, some of them will be in the NBA next year, compared to no players from Davidson
So the fact that they are actually freshman should be over looked? TROLL!

Where are all these people coming from that are starting these threads? Some of these names I've never seen before. We just won a game last night so much bitching about things that don't matter. It's the season to be happy, excited and yelling not bitching. Right???

It was stated at half..smh

His team was up and he made an observation (granted and often stated one). If we were getting smoked and he said it I would understand but we were up so an excuse was not really called for...so I don't think he was making one.

Fans like OP make us all look like morons on the national landscape. Same goes for that Elijah jabroni.

Perfect examples of people who live vicariously through a college basketball team. Pathetic if you ask me.

Everybody knows it. Cal don’t have to repeat it 200 times. He makes the decision to be young every year. We don’t need to hear it every time he is in front of s microphone. Why don’t you go root for UL. I hear they are looking for deaf, dumb and blind fans.

27-6 in the NCAAs.


What he's doing works. Sorry you don't get to build relationships and go on long walks on the beach with our players.

I hope we are being honest. You cannot have one without the other. No way, no how. Be happy he is here and quit nit picking. If Cal was not Cal exactly like he is, many of those "One and Dones" would have never been here in the first place.

Oh, and Cuz and MKG did NOT want to stay. That is a farce of a thing to state. Oh yeah they wanted to stay and play and still be kids but they could not make two decisions. It was one or the other. A good parent would have guided them just like Cal. Ultimately it was Cuz and MKG's decision. And, Oh again, I was seeing your logic until you brought up about Cuz and MKG. Not that it matters but you went down in my estimation because that is ludicrous.

From your compiled statements you are just short of living in a dream world. jmuo
Wait Lol so MKG did NOT give a post game interview saying in his own words he was coming back? Methinks BBUK forgets easily. You're 100% wrong. And also, Cal was not known as a one and done guy until UK. Never at Umass and only two OAD at Memphis. Your post sucks with misinformation.

Oh, and so you are also aware as my memory slips sometimes too. UK may have not had the 2012 title If the NBA hadn't had that lockout issue. If you will remember TJ stated himself several times he would have went pro had the NBA not had their issues at the time. Think about that, the NBA did UK a favor. Not sure UK wins that one without TJ. Kansas had a heck of a team that season. That is fact! Self, himself may not have needed to run out of time...
Dude you already have been exsposed.

I need you to understand something Mr. Prophet Elijah. (Whether you take heed or not is not a concern to me. I hope you take my words at face value. I don't try to trick or deceive.) I hope it will help you. You seem to be very argumentative, that's your choice. In another thread I gave up and cried uncle and a few other words/ terms of endearment toward you trying to bring levity into the conversation. It was not because I thought I was wrong. I hope you did not perceive that.

In my time posting on this site I have never posted for yours or anyone's approval. I have several here that I really enjoy having fun with. I know I would enjoy having dinner with them or drinking with them. That is where I choose to spend my energies. (Having fun as a UK fan on the best message board.)

Please also understand, I did not make my statements to get into a debate with you. (You would lose if it was worth my time and I needed to win.) I am here to have fun, not see who can type the most. You win doing that by far and I am glad you won.

I took this time to see if it is worth it to go forward even addressing you. In any event you and I both have other avenues to spend our time on this site, I won't validate your posting existance.

I was not wrong about Cuz or MKG, you say I was, that's your opinion. Let's leave it at that. You can probably give a quote and prove MKG stated that once. I would counter with, ask him now. Ask his family what he should have done? AD and MKG went one and two respectively in the draft! Yet, you're still argumentative about Cal making them leave. Kind of ignorant.

Why are we even having this discussion except that you want to prove your message board cred. If it's me, you'd prove it more by agreeing to disagree and then I might have another person to mess with on an ongoing basis.

You do what you want to do. (I use that from the movie Hondo.) I took a whole lot of time I usually do not take but, who knows. Be Good

It's a crutch. When we lose he can play that card. It's like me going out and breaking my Arm on purpose and when i can't perform well at my job i say it's because my Arm is broke. Then, i go to EVERY employee EVERY day and say hey, my arm is broken did you know that?

Cal created the environment that he is in so that is why you can get tired of it and say look, you did this to yourself. Now having said that im not angry i don't want another coach, we are playing winning basketball and im happy.

I always liked the example of the young man who murdered his parents. When he went to court he pleaded for leniency because he was an orphan.

And you're a buffoon.

You claimed to be a "UK history" fan, yet you constantly ***** about Cal. Every post I've ever seen from you is negative nonsense crying about the way Cal does things.

Let me, also a "UK history" fan, educate you on some UK history.

1. You act like UK should be "title or bust" every year, when we have eight championships in 115 years of basketball. We bust a lot, yet are second most in titles and the all-time leader in wins.

2. The university's all time winning percentage is 76 percent. Cal's winning percentage at UK is 82 percent.

3. Cal's tenure is currently second best all time at Kentucky behind the man who built the damn program. Since you're such a historian, I'm sure you're aware of what Rupp did. Let's list all the others who've followed him, shall we?

Hall: 1 national title, one runner-up, three Final Fours (13 seasons)
Sutton: 1 elite 8, one probation (4 seasons)
Pitino: 1 national title, 1 runner-up, three Final Fours (eight seasons)
Smith: 1 national title, one Final Four (10 seasons)
Gillispie: 1 first round loss, one NIT, lots of whiskey (2 seasons)
Calipari: 1 national title, 1 runner-up, four Final Fours (9 seasons)

So what are you bitching about again?

And, if you really are dumb enough to believe MKG and Cousins were actually going to come back for a sophomore year, that says more about you than it does anything else. This isn't 1978, 1988 or even 1998. Lotto picks don't hang out 3-4 years in college just for the hell of it anymore.
