Hey folks, I will admit this post was the result of many hours of reading and moderating comments on this board and it was very late. This is me "going postal" and going on a spewing spree. Anyway, I'm not gonna argue with any of you. I haven't banned anyone for negative comments here, just for the record. We can agree to disagree. Blessings. 
I’ve already moved on and ready to clear my schedule to watch the game Monday

I don't disagree with your OP at all. I just want to take some time and make a running list of fans who want Calipari gone, because I think that it will help the board take note of who the real problem posters are.
I don't mind doing this task as I'll have some more free time around the holidays and will start making a list. I won't attack the posters either, just merely remind the board that these types of posters are not the standard here on this message board.
I don't envy your job, by the way. You're doing a great job.
I think the CLOD has earned a dose of BCG. Rumor has it that Mitch has purchased a pack of napkins for writing contracts and ordered a boxcar of pop tarts.

So there's 4 multi-year guys and a 5th year big man he brought in to play that has a low chance of ever playing in the NBA. Outside of Maxey...which of the freshman look like they won't be multi-year guys?
SGA was a 4 star that rose quick...no one expected him to go lottery.
Herro was expected to be a 2 year guy....went lottery
I mean what do you want him to change? We have multi-year guys...yet its not good enough? If we go back to getting 2-3 top 5-10 ranked players people will clamor for multi-year guys. When Tubby was here it was "man why don't we go after the elite players"
It seems Coach K saw what Cal was doing and went the same route. Roy Williams is going after the same players....I don't know what Cal is doing any differently than just trying to market his team better for the top recruits.
If you had read my entire post you would know what I would want him to change.

No worries, mate. You are entitled to vent just as much as the rest of us. You do a great and thankless job.Hey folks, I will admit this post was the result of many hours of reading and moderating comments on this board and it was very late.

He needs to get the top 3 recruits, that's the kee to a Championship. errrr. a final four. errrr never mind.
I get that making arguments based on exaggerated hypotheticals is faulty. ie: No Cal, means another Gillespie, or no Cal equals a future like Indiana. But who is available that's any better, or that you know would win a title here in in his first 3 years, and take us to 4 final fours in a span of 9 years? Or bring in the kind of talent we have seen under Cal? I think some Kentucky fans have been too spoiled. I mean did he not just beat the number 1 team in impressive fashion, one week prior? Or am I imagining that happened?
On a side note to everyone here, can we not give Evansville any credit here? They have some legit D1 talent on that team.
Let us all just thank god cal won in 2012 and snuck those final fours in early.
I think what hurts is the recent elite 8 drought, and the thought that this team could handle everything until late December. Another early season punch in the gut.
Missing these bunnies is just not like cal teams. Bledsoe, Knight, those guys finished everything. If you can’t finish it’ll be really hard to keep them on the game.
In regards to the trolls, suck it up and take it. Our squad got dicked at home by the 134th ranked kenpom team. Only time will heal this.

You are a mod. Why are you complaining about the place you moderate? If you know this place is **** after a loss, why not get rid of the trash? I can't even stomach this place after a loss. bunch of ****** nancies. WHY NOT CLEAN THIS PLACE OF THE TRASH? You have threads now pages long by the worst posters on this forum. That should never be a thing. I know Mod-ing is a thankless job, I do it for two forums but they are a lot tighter ship than this place, zero doubt about that.
Its just odd you start a thread complaining about something you should and can put an end too but won't for some reason. Which I am sure is not good enough
Good post , shame some on here may label you a Clod or or anti Cal guy . Its foolishness .
I'd be interested in seeing a list of those that have had said they Cal gone . I think it wold be real short comparatively speaking to the 1000's that post here . And full of names that dont that post that often. Maybe I'm wrong . Whatever you do , for as much as I ***** about lack of offense , no OOB plays , we dont control tempo , Dont ever label me as a poster who wants to release Cal. Yeah I get pissed , yes I vent , but Cal is still the best guy for the job . I'll still be critical when needed , but I dont want him gone .
Thanks for the advice. I used the ignore feature for the first time. That should make this board much better!
Cal has it all figured out. Just look at those classics against K-State and Auburn. Then trying to split the fan base.
We have been a top 5 team going down the stretch in 2 of the past 3 seasons. Missed the Final Four by basically a basket each of those years. There is a segment of posters here that consider that a failure.
That’s a non-starter for me. Can’t engage people like that in a logical discussion. Sure things could have been better, but not much better. We’re dancing on the head of a pin here.
I totally get when people don’t enjoy the style of play for whatever reason. What I can’t go along with is this hyper egotistical mindset among some that adjusting the style of play would naturally produce better results.
I enjoy UNC’s style of play. They don’t win it every year either. Gonzaga is also fun to watch but we all know how that usually ends up. Not because they aren’t good, but because this thing is hard to win.
So you want better spacing, or shoot more threes, or shoot less threes. Press or zone, run or skip. Fine. Talk about it, complain about it, whatever. Just chill out with the irrational belief that somehow your way will result in more wins for the coach who has won more than anyone else over the last decade. Whether you always like it or not, his way works pretty stinking well.

These are the statements that make no sense to me as a fan. You point to the Evansville game as the reason we won’t win another title under Cal, but don’t acknowledge the game against Michigan St as the reason we could.
The Evansville game was bad, but why do we act so surprised. We lose games we shouldn’t every year in the early part of the season yet Cal has us playing into the second weekend of the Tourney almost every year.
Possibly. Most people were concerned in 2017 with John Higgins not John Calipari. Are you denying that?
I don’t know about most people. Didn’t take a poll. Many of the same people who were miserable then are miserable now.
I think most people are generally reasonable. Some are not and never will be.

Stopped reading after the first mention of “all those wanting to fire Cal”.
That’s almost NO ONE.
How that got any likes is amazing.

Lose at home to a 25 point dog while being #1 in the country while Duke is destroying their dog by 50 at the exact same time....
Meh. You’re right. No big deal.

Discussion is a good thing that’s why most of us are hear. Hating on these kids and Cal are another. Makes you wonder if some of our posters treat their families that way. We have a lot of young posters that expect instant gratification. When they don’t get it this is what you get. What I don’t get is some of our older posters that should know better are joining the party. I’ve been a fan since 1966 and I’ve witnessed great and not so great UK teams. If you live long enough you’ll realize life is full of ups and downs. You learn to deal with the downs and move on or you allow it to consume you.
I was disappointed with the loss, but **** happens. I believe by March Cal will have our team ready. These are kids and Cal knows how to mold kids into men. Let’s get behind our team and Cal and get over the loss. We have over 30 more games to play and get better. Tuesday was a down Monday will be an up.
Great post. I really hope you take the time to do this. They need to be outed.
You think playing an somewhat more uptempo game plays to our advantage in most games ? I'll be more specific .. the Kansas St , auburn and evansville losses . Pretty slow , low scoring affairs ,
Also you think running an offense with more movement and getting a player a certain shot from a certain area on the floor is better than random movement and a " be better than your man " approach ? I think I know your response but I'll wait and see .
Your comments to me are kinda foreign , that adjusting our style of play is useless and not worthy of any discussion. Would be a pretty dull , rather useless message board if we were all robots and and just say in unison after every game " Everything is Fine... Everything is Fine .. Everything is fine " Well everything is pretty good but we have high standards in the bluegrass .
I think everyone here is behind this team and want it to do well. But when a team and coaching staff lay that big of an egg, real fans wonder what the hell is going on.
Like you been a fan since the 60’s, the days of Pratt and Issel, seem the high times, lived thru the low times. Fact is Cal spoiled us all his first five years by the talent he brought in and the success they had, but the last 5 years have been mediocre at best from the first 5 years. I think that is part of what bothers me. Seems like every team last few years have major pieces missing or holes in it, like this year, which in my opinion we flame out in the tourney.
Didn’t say it wasn’t worthy of discussion. That’s actually the opposite of what I said.
What I did say was that some posters have deluded themselves into thinking that they’ve figured out the adjustments necessary to produce more wins.
Since every style of play imaginable is already being employed, and other teams aren’t winning more than Kentucky, I’m suggesting that the winning part, especially championships, is a little more complex than some seem to believe.
But maybe I’m wrong. Maybe the university is spending their money poorly and numerous candidates from within our own fan base could do a better job.
As far as being useless...yeah, this is all pretty useless when you get right down to it. But we all get some enjoyment from it, so we keep coming back. Until we don’t.
Considering he’s picked fights with over half of the board I’m sure you’re spot on.
