This is what happens when we don't have Kentucky men in control at this university.

coach = not a Kentucky guy
AD = not a kentucky guy
president = not a Kentucky guy

And so many fell for the nonsense that this was a good thing. It was NEVER a good thing.
As for the coach, I don't want to limit ourselves by having that requirement. I want the best coach possible, don't care where he comes from. Hell, even a Duke or UNC guy if that is who the best is (luckily it isn't).

I'd like to have confidence in a comeback , seeing how Mz is hot garbage , but when we run Wheeler out there with Ware , throw in a paper tiger Toppin .. I just dont see enough offense to pressure them . But .. they are Missouri . WTH has happened to Toppin .. he used to be a decent role player , now he's like Mr Invisible . Does nothing .

We look bad because we have a collection of average players and Oscar is not playing as well as he did last year. We do not have enough legit talent and opponents know it. We lost more than we gained over last year's team. It's obvious. We failed to improve our roster.

I agree with this.
This roster was massively overrated.

The fact Lance Ware not only gets significant mins but STARTS should have told u all u needed to know.

I Cal knows that he destroyed his players confidence by treating them like they were in a military bootcamp. He thinks he needs to break his players down to nothing before building them into the kinds to players he wants them to be. What an idiot.
I agree with you here bud, I think these kids get talked to like they never have been and they just fold. Kids these days are so used to being treated like stars in AAU and at inferior programs, and Cal still just yells at them all week and through the entire game like he has a clue . It’s a different world, and he just can’t adjust. This is a lost program, and I’m not sure the top class in 23’ is going to change anything. I’m just hoping we beat UL at this point

I get you, and you can't always have the trifecta, but man we are really beginning to see the results of outsiders in control of our program. They only care about money and its showing.

What’s sad is we could lose every game onward and we’re still stuck with the bastard.

Joe Craft can’t be happy with this right?

Fans know the best lineup involves Wallace , Reeves and Livingston with Oscar and ??? who know .. but not only do we not see that 4 on the floor together , we never see it with a another scorer as the 5th player .. I'd prefer CJ .. I know I know .. but give him a chance with other offensive threats and he might get confident and start sticking 3s

Something has to be done. I don't think people realize the irreparable damage that John Vincent Calipari is currently doing to the Kentucky brand of basketball. UK basketball as a brand is being undermined and the damage will take years to repair. The school and donors NEED to do something. None of the guys in this team are UK caliber players, Oscar is a stretch at best.

we have no offense, no defense, struggle to get the ball in bounds and when we do the point guard waves everybody off, then throws it away. Can’t win games playing like that.

Only question is how long before the team quits and says f u Cow. Nobody is having fun, not the players, not fans, not the coach. If it wasn't Dec I would say *** it. Can't think of a game we came out ready.

So I thought Cal was going to make big change's. Play Adou at the four Livingston at the three, I havent seen Adou at all. Cal is a fraud and story teller. The other team has a new coach and has thrown ten different looks at us on defense and that many on offense. And we have same old sad offense and defense and inbounds plays.

Are the kids tight? Or do they not any sense of urgency? What goes on in practice? Is there no emphasis on making shots? Or does Cal have them so stressed with every missed shot they’re afraid to pull the trigger? I’d honestly like to see a practice. Is it too much to ask a 9 million dollar coach to watch game film? Is it too much to game plan for a particular team? They’re giving us fits inbounding the ball underneath and without Wheeler ad libbing the one play to Reeves, Cal would just continue to lob it into Ware. It’s stealing money at this point.

Ed will be here later to tell us we are all way too invested. And that he supports whatever Coach we have no matter what.

In other words, not a true blue die hard fan.
I can’t wait for the guy that joined last year to start a call out thread about how bad we are as fans. Those are always fun

I’m really beginning to believe that this is deliberate. Calipari didn’t like the criticism so he’s setting out to destroy the program

I can’t think of any other possible reason we’d be this bad in late December

If we can't fire this useless SOB because of Mitch's effing retarded contract, can we at least try to piss him off to the point he'll just leave on his own? Maybe we could start by "moving his desk downstairs to the basement, Storage B".

Thiero sighting. Not saying he is the next MJ but he can't be worse than Ware, Toppin, CJ, Wheeler, Livingston....who is left?

Only change Cal made was to wear a suit again.

I’d rather watch that bowl balancing chick than our team right now.

Exactly. He's a fraud who got all of us while the Final Fours were rolling in 4 out of 6 years.

Kentucky will go on its typical little run in the second half, but don't let it fool you. We all know how this thing's probably ending.
