    Reece Davis gets it……

    And if you don’t want him fired after these last four years, you’ve also got it wrong

    A name that doesn't get enough serious consideration...Mark Pope.

    Bill Self took Tulsa and Illinois to 5 straight NCAA tournaments. He made the Elite 8 two times in that stretch. He won 10 NCAA tournament games in that stretch. Maybe you don't have to hire a guy with a Final 4. But Pope's resume is nothing comparable to Self's. Oats and Musselman better...

    Did We Play Better Without the Bigs?

    Complains about fans being hyperbolic. Immediately resorts to Hyperbole. I can't take you seriously. Have a good day.

    A name that doesn't get enough serious consideration...Mark Pope.

    Well, If he wins the Big 12 championship, and advances to an elite 8 or a final 4, we'll certainly talk. Until he does those things...

    Did We Play Better Without the Bigs?

    Again You're doing this thing where you act like we're evaluating a multitude of items individually. It's not losing to St. Peter's. It's not 2nd round loss to KSU. It's not 9-16. It's not 7 losses with this team. It's all of it together. If the only thing that happened was 9-16, fans...

    A name that doesn't get enough serious consideration...Mark Pope.

    I don't want Pope. I don't know that it has to all be about post-season success. But I'd certainly like to see some of it. Pope has ZERO NCAA tourney wins. He's currently at BYU. He is doing well. But I don't really want to take the BYU coach just because he also played at Kentucky...

    Did We Play Better Without the Bigs?

    No sir. By bad job, I mean: 9-16 season. Then the next season, a 1st round loss to St. Peter's despite having the NPOY. Then the next season, a 2nd round loss to KSU despite the return of that NPOY. Then the next season, taking the team with the most NBA talent in college hoops and...

    Did We Play Better Without the Bigs?

    That's a great argument. What was the problem in 2020? What was the problem in 2021? What was the problem in 2022? Cal got the benefit of the doubt in the past. Four straight seasons of excuses, maybe he's just doing a bad job.

    Our players are not failing; they are being failed.

    Our defense was non-existent. And Cal kept the bigger guys in because he felt that gave us the best chance on defense. But our defense gave them zero resistance all game long. We should have played our best offensive lineup, and tried to outscore them. What were they going to do? Feed the...

    It's time to discuss. Who our new coach will be next season

    We should make Phil Jackson say no. We should Poppovich say no. We should make the ghost of John Wooden say no. The make them say no has jumped the shark

    The path back to relavence

  12. C

    We got embarrassed in the paint tonight.

    I can't listen to the "But the players" arguments anymore. One man gets paid 9 million dollars to choose the players. Calipari built this team. If they can't do basic basketball in February, that's still his fault. He's had the players long enough to teach them how to do the...

    Matt Jones audio on Kentucky's three-game home losing streak: "This is not Kentucky basketball."

    At this point, I honestly just want him out however we can do it. But I think the optimal thing is for him to move into that ambassador role. Help keep some of the current recruits. Help the next HC transition into UK. People always say when Cal leaves, we're going to be starting over...

    The Sun will come up tomorrow per JC

    Sun did indeed come up. We still suck, and I'm still pissed.

    Matt Jones audio on Kentucky's three-game home losing streak: "This is not Kentucky basketball."

    I seriously think the NBA soul link has to be severed. Cal thinks recruiting the 5 star 1 and done's is going to work in 2024. And if you get 1 or 2 on a team full of experienced grown men, there's value in it. But Cal is still losing an entire team and rebuilding it with predominantly...
