Uconn matters. Can't stand them. Mostly bc they lucked into titles in 2011 and 14 at our expense.
Sooooooo……Calipari…….

Where would he go? That said, he should leave and see if his abilities fit better in an offense and not just as a hand off and break the man down on the dribble guard.
JM, I’m sorry I wasn’t able to get you tickets this season.
Great post though. However, I’m not ready to give up on Pope yet. Remember, Hurley, Golden, and Donovan all took time to get things rolling. Let’s give Pope some time.
I‘ve been a sports junkie since I can remember being alive. I realize how quickly things can change. The key for coaches, like everyone else in life, is to get better every year.
Learn what works, and what doesn’t. Hurley, Donovan, Golden, Wright, etc, didn’t set the world on fire starting out at their big time jobs, but, they learned from their mistakes, and improved.
Let’s see if Pope can do this. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn’t. We’ll see.

Now maybe Zona fans will start to understand what we'd been so annoyed by with CCC for the past few seasons he was here.
Arkansas margin of defeat against the last two top 15 teams they played: 26 points 
Dude is so washed and I’m pretty sure is the highest paid coach in the SEC

The NBA lockout was a HUGE factor in that championship too.
To all the morons that wanted to keep that poor ole washed up recruiter .. suck it
I’m glad that ******* is in Arkansas maybe he can have Pope as an assistant coach!
he big mad at Pope for throwing shade. After a 21 point loss he's worried about UK's recruiting.
Cal, you are at Arkansas. The man you replaced took them to 2 elite 8's in 5 years. Look in the mirror, you threw this away.

You're right but ain't nobody paying him like the
man.Don't worry hog fans the NBA draft is in June and that is more important than winning in March anyway!!! You get to see Darious Acuff leave and get rewarded as he should and maybe a couple others that are not ready, but Cal will push them out anyway!!!!
First good team he hit in the post season after his brackets in the SEC and NCAA fell apart, results in a blowout loss. Seems familiar.
The most important day in Hog History
Here’s an article about it.
And the quote, “…’We're all in the same boat right now,’ Calipari noted. ‘How about this, you have no recruits, you have no idea who's coming back, you don't have the money you had a year ago. You do not. And now all of a sudden you're trying to keep guys, figure out who else out there wants to come and who wants to put like a bidding war, which we wouldn't be involved in’….”
Kev are you good my guy? The Hurley and Golden (now Donovan?) stuff has been explained like 40 times. It’s not similar there are no similarities. Pope is nearing mid 50’s, Donovan? These are different eras too. I’m just not really understanding but are you not seeing the rebuttals? They don’t have similarities?
Without the Lockout Calipari has no championships for a career. It’s amazing.
They blew up the chicken man in San Jose last night. They blew up his team, too.You're right but ain't nobody paying him like the
No one in the history of college basketball has done less with more . Not even Dean Smith.
Hot damn he just took a massive shot at Pope. He’s not wrong, but what a mess Calipari and Pope and the race to the bottom. Omg.
@Vek96 doesn’t care about facts man, he thinks supporting pope is sticking it to Calipari. It’s pretty clear he lives to bash cal
Can you imagine if that guy AND HIS 35 MILLION BUYOUT were still here ? As bad as Pope has been , we’re STILL in a better situation. It will be much easier to get rid of Pope .
This is very true. I don’t think I could stomach Calipari anymore but sht it took a season for Pope to do it with me. But yea that would be bad. Oh sht Arkansas is going to attack him next and take shots and then he’s gonna turn. And that little program to him is meaningless. He’s going to absolutely bury those biches on his way out
Nah he’s surpassed Dean all the way. Calipari is the poster child for coaching retardation. But if you’re Pope you leave that alone. Pope has been doing this a long time and has a really bad record.
You don’t say anything. It’s like the Yaxel stuff, don’t respond or say something better than that. It’s just embarrassing what both are doing.
I knew Calipari was going to respond to that. I thought maybe he sees pope as too small but nah this is Calipari. Mafia guys have very thin skin. Oh well, as soon as Arkansas challenges him he’s going to bury that little program so at this point grab the popcorn
I’ve said it before but, in 5 years Eric Musselman took Arkansas to 3 consecutive sweet 16’s and back to back final 8’s .This is very true. I don’t think I could stomach Calipari anymore but sht it took a season for Pope to do it with me. But yea that would be bad. Oh sht Arkansas is going to attack him next and take shots and then he’s gonna turn. And that little program to him is meaningless. He’s going to absolutely bury those biches on his way out
John Calipari will never replicate that success.
At least Cal is having some firsts with his new team!!!!
Bring back Cal, bring back Cal, bring back Cal! : - ) He could not scheme a defense to stop a pickup Church league team. I dont miss that washed out clown.
Had the same thought.
Current team just got waxed. Why you talking about your former employer?
The problem with Calipari's teams, you can't look at the success of this team and think "we will build on it." You're only hoping the next recruiting class is good enough to win it all. Rinse and repeat.
I am with you but I also want Tennessee to lose.
What do you see in Pope that gives you any hope? The team was lacking in fundamentals and understanding of the game in every aspect. Our players weren’t even in good condition. Do you notice how many players put on weight or muscle over the season? Answer none. What game adjustments did you see that you liked? Did he hold players accountable? Answer absolutely not when it came to plan in time.
