Rucker is a solid poster. He shouldn’t be getting flack on here just because some posters think they’re superior because they follow a basketball program with the best all time winning percentage. That’s no basis for superiority.
I was just trying to explain why he was getting some of the comments he got.
I didn’t have an issue personally as he did seem nice and respectful

But okay

I guess we need to admit Memphis fans were right. They always said that when Cal left he would leave the program in shambles.
I guess we just thought they meant in NCAA trouble.
But now that the NCAA is toothless…

Drew was never able to beat Duke and Baylor was always put in that matchup. Does play some zone though which should please some on here.

Don’t won’t Drew.
If that's your standard, then nobody will please you other than the impossible names like Brad Stevens whose family I happen to know personally and he is NOT an option.

Duke had more talent than those Baylor teams. And Duke had Coach K. Cal's problem is he has more talent than his opponent 98% of the time and still sucks.

I don’t drink, never have and probably never will. I have enough vices for one lifetime lol.
Good for you. I started through a zippy cup myself. Have slowed down some with age, but I like my nightcaps.

Just never been a fan of alcohol for some reason. Just didn’t do it for me. I’ve hammered a few in Hs and college in my day but never consistently.
Yeah that’s how I am with weed, or any other drugs for that matter. All my friends smoked it in high school and college. I tried it once and all it did was give me a headache. Probably a good thing too.

I think whenever he leaves (now, a year from now, whenever) it will be a "NEGOTIATED arrangement". Something like:
- Texas pays him $5M/yr 8 yr deal
- UK pays (Cal) for Texas a $10M sign-on bonus
It's a win/win/win. Texas gets who they want at a discount, Calipari still gets $50M and to leave "on good terms" (not be fired), and UK is out "only" $10M


By the way, many have said on here that if he were fired, he would get like $40-43M, spread over the remaining duration of contract. Not $50M.
What in the hell is this? You can’t bring sensible conversation into this discussion. Are you new here?

Is this the longest thread that Rex has ever started? There was one other. Something about the Lakers...
Do you know he’s Rex or just guessing? I remember Rex saying Cal was going to the Lakers years ago. I don’t think this person is Rex because I’ve seen Rex’s Twitter posts and this person doesn’t seem like that

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if he was one or more of these troll accounts like Bass. Might explain why certain accounts never seem to get dealt with properly.

Drew was not competitive against K. You can’t spin it otherwise. His teams rolled over for Duke.

He HAS won a title since then, no small feat. Still don’t want him despite the fact he’d be better than a lot of the possibilities.

Edit: you’re right and I’m wrong about Duke vs Baylor. Not going to research but what I think I’m remembering was a stretch where Duke was often in the same bracket as Duke ( at least 2 straight years maybe more). Guessing that Baylor was flaming out before getting to Duke.

From what I have been able to find, Baylor has played Duke 1 time back in 2010. Duke won 78 - 71. That is hardly rolling over. Cal (and UK for that matter) has been absolutely run off the court the past few times they’ve played.

Now if you’re talking Valpo, it should be no shock that Duke beat them easily. It is Valpo after all. Drew coached against Duke one time at Valpo back in 03. Duke was ranked 5th and Valpo was unranked. Duke won 97 to 63.

My guess is UKortho is a “sleeper troll” who has been laying low since 2015 and recently activated by his handlers. Seriously, I’d love for this to be true but I’m not getting my hopes up unless we see a little fire or at least some heavy smoke.

Horrible guess, thanks for playing
