-Prior to Cal we had went undeafeated in conference two times in fifty five years. Cal has already done it twice.

-Cal ended the longest Final Four drought in UK history. Then went four out of five years.

-Not to mention Sudsy had essentially burned our program to the ground. Cal rebuilt it immediately.

-Won it all

-Hasn't bolted for Boston

-Inducted into Naismith HOF

-Owns UL/Rick

He did everything he said he would do when he arrived.

1) Add to the wall.
2) Return this legendary program back to its rightful place atop the mountain of college basketball.
3) Make UK the gold standard.

If my team is down one with the game on the line Cal isn't my guy. However, in any other aspect of rebuilding/maintaining/satisfying BBN + winning at a ridiculous level he is the only guy.

Left the game at the 4 minute timeout. If that makes me a terrible fan, oh well. Well worth beating the traffic after that 2nd half mess.

Like Cawood, I'll never go to Rupp again if im not lower level or on the end. I was flat *** in the middle of an aisle which made getting to my seat a minor miracle by not falling on the people below.

Great atmosphere, tho. Good to see a few folks I haven't seen in a while.

Cal has been here 7 years and has:
4 FFs
2 title games
1 title

He's made the FF over 50% of the time he's been here. That's absurd.

This team is pissing me off too but I'm with Chad. 2011 and 2014 are eternal examples of why you can never give up on a Cal coached UK squad.

We're struggling for sure but at the perfect time imo, late January. We have a whole month to improve which is plenty of time.

I've accepted this new reality under Cal. The teams will be fun and exciting bc of the talent but also maddening bc of the youth. Is what it is.

So we all agree that John Calipari is both easily the best coach UK has ever had and also pointless to listen to because he's constantly marketing, right?

05 and I bought FIFA 15 yesterday for the XBox. Order has been restored. One of the GOATs.

Facebook has jumped the shark. About to take a hiatus. The political stuff is off the charts. I want constant kid updates and food and travel pictures.

Speaking of jumping the shark, January can GTFO. Worst month of the year by a wide margin.

Got some new tires and rims for the sled and cleaned it up a bit. Truck looks brand new. Ready for a solid run to 200k.

Feb is Jan 2.0, just as awful but no football at all. At least it is 3 days shorter.

Mulder not having an "illness" (/@KyleTucker) would not have ment jack ish last night, and if you think it would then you are a dumb bastard who forgot Cal kept him nailed to the bench against UCLA & Carolina.

If not UL, it's going to be UNC. The silver lining is we're still awaiting the hammer to drop on them so whatever is achieved this year will be over-shadowed by the punishment.

^ Nah, landing in a 2nd tier bowl and getting smoked by a gimmick offense put this team on the map [thumb2] :100points:

Lots o' redass in those past few pages. Going off the deep end during/after a bad game is a thread staple, but poster of the year outdid everyone. "Desperate hire..." [laughing]

Hindsight and all, but that 2012 team didn't just have a witch and the kid. Two major decisions to stay a second year and a senior who found some consistency were just as big. Fifth most FGA ATKOT.

Hasn't the "two ***" thing jumped the shark? Can we go with something like:

We played like *** :100points:x23 or
We played like *** #2300

I hope the transfer works out for Marcus and it might not have made a difference, but these recent games make me at least wonder if a pogo stick would have helped alter/block enough shots to win one or two of these L's.
