It's not even that UK isn't what they should be it's that Cal isn't what he used to be, Cal used to be able to get his players to play way beyond their ability and years ago we would've been ready for this game **** just ain't the same
Expectations vs reality
- Thread starter Cawood86_rivals
- Start date
I'm awake that loss was brutal and never would've happened a few years ago, Cal used to be able to get his players to play above their talent level now he barely gets 50%....hate to say it but time for a new coach
Truer words have never been spoken.
He’s been coasting for years.
Actually, we did lose a very similar game at ND several years ago. We are 0-3 against them since 2015
My father and I used to be so excited when a UK game was on and our schedule always revolved around it like most fans. Cal has poisoned that excitement for so many reasons. Do I take it personal, I sure do because we have the best fan base in America and our coach has found a way to ruin the excitement for the past 5 years. Unlike Tubby, he keeps bringing in top recruits and transfers so having good players is not an excuse. How poorly he has coached these players is astonishing to me. I could name multiple players but let’s just look at Jonny Juzang. A no name player for Kentucky that is now the face of college basketball. ESPN states Juzang and UCLA taking on….Saturday night. I think Cal was once a good in game coach but he arrogantly refuses to make adjustments for today’s basketball. The game is now based around the 3 line. He still refuses to play an offense that is adjusted to so many good shooters he brought in this year. You might say, they don’t make enough, I say they have already proved to be great 3 point shooters that Cal doesn’t adjust to.
But I'd say 2014was the last time cal got the most out of his players that tourney run after the season that team had was legendary hasn't been anywhere near the same since
Cal said this at Madness in 2018. To me he sounded burned out.
But let me say this: It may feel like yesterday, but one look at me and you can tell what it's done to me. (LOOK UP AT SCREEN AT PICTURE OF CAL AND ELLEN). You people have beat me up. For some reason, it hasn't affected Ellen. But I've aged in dog years!
Now it is 2021. How much more burned out is he?

Good points except 2019. Auburn lost its star to injury before that E8 game. Even so, UK had the ball last in a tie game but couldn’t come up with the winning play.
Wasn’t a bad bounce at all. Was actually an all-systems failure.
lol at how a thread can age so badly so quickly
by that i mean the sunshine pumpers and their takes

Expectation: Eat first, #1 classes, catching UCLA
Reality: 40 days of fasting, mid-major transfers, one championship and done

UK would have been up 10+ in the first half if Wheeler wasn't playing. He was awful every time he touched the ball.
