John Calipari: "I don't believe it's over, we haven't even played a league game yet. Our true fans, keep cheering them on. You think they want to play the way they're playing, losing the way they're losing?"
Not sure what's wrong with this quote either. I agree with him. We are all concerned that's not a question. Glad some of these dudes aren't fighting with me in WWII. They would of surrendered at Pearl Harbor.

Not sure. I am just in a foul mood today. I should probably just give it a rest.
Everyone’s upset that we’re 1-6 and they are going about it differently. The boards divided and many on here are going about it wrong. We all gotta be more respectful to opposing opinions. If someone likes Cal and wants to support him that’s their choice and vice versa. Easier said then done but even people that are known to be nice posters are being combative. Their are a few trolls that start with the personal attacks and it usually spirals out of control from there in most cases.

We won the SEC last year, the only bar we have to measure last year by. But you're loving this now, the more haters the better, now the true, non hater fans are the outsiders. And you don't miss any opportunity to attack anyone who's not properly negative. If you get your way, we will have someone worse than BCG, nobody wanted this job after Tubby left under the pressure he deserved. If you think the order the offers went out were Donovan then Gillispie you are crippled too high for crutches. This place will be seen as a hostile work environment.
Please don't allow accuracy to get in the way of a good lie. I haven't attacked anyone on this board. If attacking other posters was a goal of mine, you would make a good target since you seem to have difficulty with the truth.

Sorry, semantics. You may not see it as an attack, but you do pour negativity on any positive posts you see.

I think your wrong with this post. I did the same thing to another moderator a week or so ago and instantly regretted it and apologized. If their not breaking rules, they can voice their opinions. Even if you don’t agree. Not everyone is a hater that’s upset right now.
You are right, of course. This place is currently a dumpster fire, I need to stop fanning the flames. Jedwar certainly has a right to his opinion.

No! It had nothing to do with semantics. It was a blatant lie with the purpose of putting me on the defensive. It didn't work; it won't work; so, keep it moving and simply ignore my posts if you don't like them.

Hell I did that and felt bad enough that I messaged the mod and privately apologized. Lol

2009 Cal is so far removed from 2020 Cal.
2009 Cal still wanted to win a Championship, be inducted to the HOF, and get a lifetime contract at UK with a $60 million golden parachute. 2020 Coach Cal wants to advance his social agenda, get fat, and get paid big bucks to suck!

I can’t have opinions and moderate?

Obviously you haven’t read all my takes, even though they are great ones, I want Cal here. I just want the good Cal.
I shouldn't have said that. I apologise. I let myself get too worked up sometimes.

I wondered the same thing. Surely he wouldn't do something like that just to spite the fans. That would not be a "players first" move.
If you ever notice- Cal doesn't ever specify which players in that statement.

Most fans, especially at Kentucky are going to get pretty riled after starting 1-6. He is not helping matters with the things he is and has been saying, true fans, ok. The fans have stuck with Cal even though there is always to much emphasis and talk about the draft and the NBA around here, as long as he was winning we always had a chance so the fans lived with it. This bringing in 6 or 7 freshman every year and not having a starter back this year and losing to our worst rivals will bring out the worst about this job. Why is getting players to the NBA such a big deal with him, at Memphis and UMASS that wasn't his first priority. The interest here is at an all time low because of the revolving door, two years here is about all a kid can stand when only 6 or 7 get to play most of the time. The culture here is his and now it's getting hot and the band wagon fans are the problem according to him.
He's created his own monster. OAD is fine, but you've got to get some other kids to come back. And I suspect every kid that comes here believes they'll be here one year...then when they arent going pro, they'll leave anyway. Matthews, Baker, Juzang, etc....can't lose all of those guys

Sorry Jedwar for rehashing this post. I hadn't seen this comment before today. Just stuck out to me.

Makes me actually wonder if he is refusing to play Allen on purpose to further infuriate fans.
I think to show us who the boss is. I listened to Sources Say podcast today and our own David Sisk brought up he is not sure how much Cal wanted Allen to begin with. I think Cal will
Not get a Kentucky guy again unless he’s elite so he won’t have to hear it.

One of the guys on the podcast said a Falmouth journalist asked about Allen and got a little snippy with Cal. I hope they continue to call Cal on it and other asinine comments he made.

Many and I mean men’s journalist are taken back by things he said yesterday. I said several weeks ago the press worm would start to turn and ask more hard hitting questions. It’s starting with articles now questioning him. If we had live pressers it would really ramp up.

ftp I'm glad to see this. Any moderator is welcome to talk about anything us regular people would discuss. In my mind anyway.

I'll also say that @jedwar has gone about expressing his opinions in a respectful way on this board. We had a mod awhile back that didn't. That's the distinction I'd make. I'm good with anyone's opinions as long as they aren't calling names and breaking board rules.

Did 2013 NIT Cal even say stuff this stupid? I at least remember him taking the blame for that team being bad.
I don’t think so. He wasn’t feeling the heat and pressure then. He is now. Fans turning it up. The press is turning it up. We shall see how he handles it. So far imo he has not handled it well. He’s like how dare you question me.
