I didn’t say it harmed anyone, just odd. I guess I don’t understand your position, but you do try to shoot down anyone who thinks we should move on from him
Try to keep up with the fact that Cal sucked his last 4 years here.
All true, and yet you support the 14 Loss Wonder Boy.
He’ll likely need ten five stars to have a prayer of winning.
He was too busy adjusting his grip on Cals nuts to read your post.
Yeah, you’re probably right after all Arkansas only beat them by 25 points earlier this year
I reject the notion that I shoot down anyone who wants to fire Pope. Do I think it is silly? Personally, yes. Do I think it comes from a valid place of frustration? Yes. And I’ve been consistent about that for a very long time. I work harder to find common ground than most of my interlocutors. Something I believe is important. A good debater, I’m of the mind, will steel-man their opponents’ positions, which means understanding their methodology and rationale entirely and being able to articulate it very precisely as if it were your own position. A good debater can debate the strongest version of those arguments. That’s what I seek to do. Yes, I have debated the Pope topic with select people, but I don’t find most people are up for actually delving into the topic beyond a few one-liners and low hanging fruit. Most of the time, when discussing the topic, I go out of my way to speak in the first person about my own support for Pope and don’t try to persuade others to agree. I rather only persuade others to take time to understand the viewpoint of those who do support the coach. You’d be led to believe those who do so are imbeciles or trolls by many on here and you’d have to decide for yourself — is my mind open to changing? Or..is my mind open to considering that there may be good reasons and motivations for someone who sees this differently? If you don’t start there, debate isn’t good for you. I begin every single debate I have, and those close to me who have seen me perform in moderated debates or even informal ones can attest, with the idea that I CAN BE WRONG and I am open to my arguments being defeated. Many people don’t like that idea and that’s why the debates become personal or emotionally charged. I personally don’t have the emotional intelligence myself not to respond in kind. Therefore, it’s best I don’t engage with most people in debate, unless they can be very professional, articulate, sharp, topic-focused and impersonal.
He's not winning **** tomorrow LMAO. They will get thumped.
I'm Catholic as well...thats why I can say, with all sincerity...what in the living **** does Cal being a good Catholic have to do with the price of tea in China?
Thanks, ITVI. My suspicion is that we both are a bit long in the tooth. I have Rupp's autograph. I have my father's 1948 & 1949 scrapbook of UK basketball. I've given several articles to Jon Scott for his incredible website. My first basketball heartbreak was the '70 season end against Jacksonville. I lived in Chapel Hill for three years and understand Tobacco Road very well, but know it is nothing compared to our love for our 'Cats. I am confident that no one cares about all of that, and I probably wouldn't either.
Conference tournaments make big money, period. Just 30 years ago , or so, the ACC was the only conference that I remember that had a conference tournament. I think we play too many games as it is.
Talent and good coach, upperclassman who have good control, talented freshman who understand system basketball is what you want. I’ve seen so many talented freshman bite dust they actually fold in the end more than they produce. The list is long. Very few talented freshman teams produce championships. Very few. Almost never.
This is false. Calipari called Ohio state and pissed boosters off bad. They were livid. Cal called Mitch after he tried to use Arkansas as leverage and said he’d make changes and worth with Barnhart. Barnhart said you breached contract and moved on Calipari. And if you go see Calipari get off the plane you’ll see a guy who never imagined he end up there. He thought Barnhart would fold. But cal called Barnhart and agreed to changes when he realized it wasn’t going to work by talkin to Arkansas.
You're just like a mechanical engineer tthat thinks he knows everything but knows nothing. Thank goodness for the 98% ignore rule I use, lol. Oh and I know exactly what you are up to on antoher subject. What a sad case.
Coach Cal is a slimey grease ball that couldn't coach his *** out of a wet paper sack, the only way he wins is by getting 5* players, he doesn't know how to coach players that need to be coached, a good coach can coach a team of players & make them better that aren't 5* players, plus make adjustments & draw up plays which he can do none of. I'm glad that ****** is gone & his one trick pony offense.
