Lexington can keep the complex name as Rupp Arena.

We just need to emphasize it's Cawood's Court or something like that more. That the University play on Cawood's court or Calipari's Court in Rupp Arena.

No, the name is Rupp Arena, named after the man who built this program. Whiny *** libs can take their identity politics and PC religion and stuff it.

Nope. Especially after that "white privilege" comment.
Exactly. Eastern Kentucky is historically one of the most poverty stricken areas in the country; He will lose the state telling them how privileged they are.

Cal has done a lot of good for this state and program and this fan base raised hundreds of millions for Haiti and Houston when they were in need (pretty sure both those places are predominantly black, We must be really bad racist.) but him claiming him being white is why he’s where he is, is a Polar change from the “my daddy was a blue collar hard working man from coal country”

Keep it as Rupp Arena until they build a new one. I've always faced the reality that when we get a new arena it will be named after some corporation. That was always going to happen even before cancel culture came along.

Huh. Cal has been writing checks from BBN's fan account lately and he's almost overdrawn. He'd better make some deposits soon.

Let me tell you straight - there will be NOTHING named after Calipari, and if he is smart enough to have a finger on the pulse of BBN right now, he knows he has to do two things to maintain his status and lovability:

1. Win a title in the next 2 seasons
2. Better step up, sack up, and stand up for Rupp

Otherwise he'll lose the fanbase very soon.

Let's see how smart he is.


Great post .

People don't like to hear it, but Pitino is close as well. When you take away his first two years for probation, you're looking at a coach who took Kentucky to the final four 50% of the time when they were eligible. I mean, he gave us the greatest Kentucky team of all time, one of the greatest Kentucky players of all time, and set up a roster that gave Tubby his only title. Pitino took Kentucky from probation to almost beating the top team in the country in the elite eight, and did it in less than two years. Anyone who has the fortitude to look past their emotions can see that Pitino is right there with Calipari and Hall.

Pitino is responsible for the greatest program rebuild in history of college sports. That's quite an achievement, considering he was only here 8 yours.


True .. Rick is a terribly flawed guy , but he was hell on wheels as a coach of Big Blue during that time period . He has great basketball mind

wow forgot I posted this thread I didn't think it would catch any replies. Thought it would just fade out with 2 replies lol.

I'm for keeping it as Rupp Arena and not only that but installing a 8ft statue of Rupp outside the entrance.

me too
if they wear jerseys like the nba I am done
If, and that’s the biggest IF I may ever use, CBB is even played, you can liquidate your retirement accounts and put it on that number, that it’s going to happen!

So ...you are just baiting people into saying he will never win another title, right ?
