You are still blinded by the Calipari BS. Open your eyes. It is right in front of you.I am sure that is why he put him in. Makes total sense. He recruited him so that he could put him in, hoping that he'd fail...bingo.

This is so wrong. Nothing Tasty like a fried bologna sandwich with mustard and lettuceDude
It’s fine to disagree with a strategy but to say utter bologna is distasteful.
Ahhhh my sweet lord, fried bologna is one of the worst foods that people legitimately enjoy and I’ll eat near anything. Can’t stand the smell of fried bologna at all.This is so wrong. Nothing Tasty like a fried bologna sandwich with mustard and lettuce
Man, it was tongue in cheek. I don't think Cal wants anyone to fail. At least he's hearing the fans though.I am not blinded by anything. I live in reality. There are things I love about Cal and things that drive me crazy...long story short I don't think he has an agenda against Allen or UK. That is what is being insinuated if you think (if you agreeing w that post) he wanted Allen to fail, sorry that is StUpId.
For the record I have always wanted Allen to play.
I said the same thing about Miller and you would not believe the consternation it caused on the board. I was pretty much flamed and called everything but a good milk cow for my comment but he was a big factor in our National Title win.Yes i see him as darius miller type if it was not for him we would not have won in 2012 was miller time when he checked in
I wasn't asking you to go through threads, you said the comment was in THIS thread, so I don't get the issue.I’m not going to go back through threads as I don’t have the time to waste on that, but as I recall I had seen 15-20 separate instances insisting that Cal is doing this for reasons other than at the end of the season putting the best roster on the floor. Again his strategy has to do with giving players with the most upside the most minutes to get them experience, not spiting the fans, players from KY, playing favorites or any of the other conspiracy theories going around.
I totally understand disagreeing with or plain hating that strategy but argue the strategy not conspiracies.
Only agenda Cal has is giving too much leash to his 5 stars who are struggling, while not trying different lineups to win games. No, Cal has no agenda toward Allen, but I think he does against the fans.I am not blinded by anything. I live in reality.

Well, yeah. You don’t average 43 points a game (with a large sample size) in high school by accident. That’s elite scoring prowess, no matter the level of competition IMO. The kid is wired to get buckets. He also averaged double digit rebounds.I would have to see tape on that one.
Awful convenient. But, I like that he’s now either willing or being forced to acknowledge what many here have said all along—Allen needs to play at the expense of other more highly rated players time.
FTR—I hate pat on the back posts. I never claimed Allen was a stud but I saw many on here do so and they deserve credit.
Haha. Post a list of ingredients from a “I’ll eat near anything “ food you like. Let’s compare. Not picking on you at all. Baloney can be good fried. Or dipped in hot sauce. Or just by its lonesome. I’m sure Andy wouldn’t like it, but he don’t qualify for it, you know?Ahhhh my sweet lord, fried bologna is one of the worst foods that people legitimately enjoy and I’ll eat near anything. Can’t stand the smell of fried bologna at all.

My wife likes it.Ahhhh my sweet lord, fried bologna is one of the worst foods that people legitimately enjoy and I’ll eat near anything. Can’t stand the smell of fried bologna at all.
hold the mustard...ketchup insteadMy wife likes it.
Does anybody else besides me fry up some breakfast sausage patties and put them on white bread with mustard? That’s some serious good eatin’.
Fried bologna is one of the best foods on Earth. One of my favorite foods, hands down. Poor man’s steak.Haha. Post a list of ingredients from a “I’ll eat near anything “ food you like. Let’s compare.

Well, why recruit a kid if you're not gonna play him?
Ok... now you’re on ignore!Ahhhh my sweet lord, fried bologna is one of the worst foods that people legitimately enjoy and I’ll eat near anything. Can’t stand the smell of fried bologna at all.
He doesn't have to get that many every game. He is a real threat from the outside which helps the whole offense open up. Teams will have to account for him.Time to be fair to Cal. He did insert Allen early in the first half . And yes he would have stuck with Boston but he knows we cannot win an SEC championship without getting Clarke and Boston performing as well. Allen is not going to get 15-20 every game.
As a kid growing up in Marrowbone. We would leave the fields and go to Stovers grocery for lunch, usually bologna. We always called it Barren County ham, since we couldn’t afford real ham. Nell Stover would ask you how thick you wanted it and cut it off a big loaf.Haha. Post a list of ingredients from a “I’ll eat near anything “ food you like. Let’s compare. Not picking on you at all.

I love that! We used to take Bob Evans or Jimmy Dean and press into a bread slice sized patty and do just that.My wife likes it.

A buddy of mine owns a restaurant that serves smoked bologna and it is delicious!!Fried bologna is one of the best foods on Earth. One of my favorite foods, hands down. Poor man’s steak.![]()
I love some legit German style bologna just keep the butter and fry pan away from it. When I say I’ll eat just about anything I think it’s quicker to list foods I don’t like than foods I do.Haha.

You might be right about when he was inserted. Watching the game was like being in the nose bleed section which made if especially difficult to see the players or their numbers. However, I don't recall hearing his name mentioned until near the half.I’m not sure that was said or not but you’re being disingenuous here. Allen checked in first with about 12:30 left in the first half when he almost immediately hit a 3. I’m almost certain he was subbed in at least 3 times in the first half. He had made his 2nd 3 pointer prior to Cal getting ejected. Cal was playing him and all of you strange folks that think he doesn’t want Dontaie to be good so he can play Boston and Clarke more are insane. Would Cal have benched Boston like Bruiser did? I doubt it, but to say Allen didn’t get in until nearly halftime is absolute horse pucky.
You are so funny. For a minute I believed you were serious, LOL. A star is born! You have the potential to be a standup comic.Surprised Cal didn't hit the kid with a trash can with the way he wants Dontaie to fail. Yes, I know that's ridiculous. Almost as ridiculous as the fans who claim Cal has benched the kid because he doesn't want him to break out. Utter nonsense. What happened the year Cal ended up scrapping his more highly rated point guard in favor of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander? What happened last season when Cal got ripped for benching Whitney? The best performers will get the minutes.
Now sure, the top rated players are going to get more leash. Anyone who thinks this team doesn't need Boston or Clarke to develop to be a real threat this season is smoking something. Allen's emergence (which we all hope continues) has made it less important, but it's still true. We need one of those guys to meet his potential, at least, and we'd prefer it be both of them. They've both shown flashes but haven't been consistent.
Some people are just like that, I was telling my dad the story of the game earlier as he turned it off before halftime and I went through kinda each one of Dontaie’s shots and he laughed progressively harder as I was relaying it to him.Why was Cal laughing when he was congratulating Allen in the clip? I don't mean anything by it...just asking. It seemed like a nervous laugh to me. As I said in other posts, I respect a lot of your opinions so I though I would ask.
Thanks for replying.Some people are just like that, I was telling my dad the story of the game earlier as he turned it off before halftime and I went through kinda each one of Dontaie’s shots and he laughed progressively harder as I was relaying it to him.
Cal was happy for him nothing more.
It’s game 8 and he played him. What’s so hard to understand.Well, why recruit a kid if you're not gonna play him?
if Cal doesn’t play Allen for significant minutes in the Vandy game then Cal should be investigated for throwing games.I am not blinded by anything. I live in reality. There are things I love about Cal and things that drive me crazy...long story short I don't think he has an agenda against Allen or UK. That is what is being insinuated if you think (if you agreeing w that post) he wanted Allen to fail, sorry that is StUpId.

I would have agreed with you a few games ago but if you don't think Cal wanted Allen to fail in the MS State game, you don't know how life works.I am not blinded by anything. I live in reality.

Cal knows that he resisted playing Allen in spite of pressure from the fans. Allen playing the way he did makes Cal look like a dumb*** the way it has.
You don't think Cal saw that coming?

You are right about horse sh!tz........they have to bend the fact to fit their narrative......I’m not sure that was said or not but you’re being disingenuous here. Allen checked in first with about 12:30 left in the first half when he almost immediately hit a 3. I’m almost certain he was subbed in at least 3 times in the first half.

I doubt it, but to say Allen didn’t get in until nearly halftime is absolute horse pucky.
The only problem with your premise is that when he got in the games he was a mason.........if he had been stroking the ball Cal would have left him in..........Cal has always played his nba talent ahead of more deserving players. He did it just last year (Whitney over IQ) and he's done it all this year. Boston and Clarke have struggled, yet Cal has continued to start them and play them 35+ mpg. I mean, Boston is shooting 15% from 3 and has a fg % around 35. Do you mean to tell me that Allen would ever sniff the court if he shot like that?
At other programs, Clarke and Boston would get 15 minutes a game playing the way they are. The juniors and seniors would be the ones out there, but not here, not where the NBA draft is more important than winning games.
Allen didn't just learn how to shoot on Friday, the kid averaged… .AVERAGED 42ppg in HS. You don't average 42ppg if you are an okay player, no, you are an elite scorer when you average that much.
We struggle to reach 65ppg as a team. Boston and Clarke can't hit the broad side of a barn, but an elite scorer sat on the bench. Some games he never got a single second of pt, one game he got in for 20 seconds.
2 + 2 = 4. It's that simple. We struggle to score, you have two guys that can't score, in the game, but you have an elite scorer on the bench. Here's a hint… .pull the two brick layers and put the elite scorer in. Voila, problem solved.
Okay, so Allen missed a couple shots, what do you call what Boston has been doing?The only problem with your premise is that when he got in the games he was a mason.........if he had been stroking the ball Cal would have left him in..........
