Will beating #16 UCLA quiet the Cal hate?
- Thread starter HerrosHeroes
- Start date
Calipari has to get to a final four and win a title to completely be safe.
But these types of games have to be won because he’s also losing our prestige by getting beat, well, nearly EVERY time we face a good rival or ranked opponent.
So yea he needs to win it, Kentucky should expect to win most of these kinds of games. Will it help much? Not really, and you know why Kwilt.

He will put you on ignore - fair warning. Stay polite and don’t make sudden moves.
Save your time and energy posting these hypotheticals.
The *ONLY* act that will take the heat off Cal is hanging a banner. Period. End of story. The coach-fan relationship is almost beyond repair.
He needs to win the NC.
We were the favorites by most coming into the season because they know our roster has the talent to win it.
Instead we are a fringe top 20 team and the 4th or 5th best team in our league.
Talent isn’t our issue. It’s 100% bad coaching.
The last team that returned the NPOY cut the nets down.

No, beating UCLA isn’t going quite anything down; but it can be a good win before league play. This season will come down to what happens in March.
Stop trolling. Why mods let you do this stuff is beyond me. People, stop falling for this nonsense.
He can't win me back at all, because I know that any success we may enjoy under CCC at this point is fools gold.
I can’t stand Cal.
But….beating UCLA is pretty important. He just needs to start winning against the better teams on the schedule more consistently.
Let’s go on a streak.

Would you please just stop starting ****. There’s not one person that thinks you’re a fan. You’re basically a narcissistic little boy. I honestly believe you would enjoy your video games more.
With this I totally agree. Almost every season they look at our talent and rank us up there. Not factoring in coaching. When the season begins we start our usual decline.
Final Four is the only thing that is going to give him any more time. That’s it.
I actually think he’s an older man but with Ryan Lemmond personality type…if not Ryan himself. If he is in fact “kwilt” from the past then at minimum he’s in his late 20s/early 30s….my bet is 50+ tho
Good question. The haters will attack you for asking it. I do not believe any amount of success by this team will stop the criticism of Cal from a small portion of this board.
I go into each season wanting to at least have a shot at a championship. I want to make the final four each year while knowing that we have only been to 17 FFs in our entire basketball history. I do believe that we have many more very good teams across the nation this year than in years past. There are at least 20 teams that could go on a roll in March, and we are one of those.
If cal wins any of that stuff you mentioned it will be an accident. If cal wins any of that stuff you mentioned, because it would be an accident id want him gone the very next day. If he won the NCAAT i'd want him to leave Houston and head directly to his next destination that not called Lexington KY. There's nothing that cal can do at this point. If cal had a 5 star hooker show up at my door every single day of 2023 and she had to do me for 3 hours straight, I'd send him a thank you card and sign it "NOW GET THE **** OUT"

Cal would have to win the NCAA Championship at least 3 out of 4 years to satisfy his critics. If he were to have that level of success, most of the people on this board would stop attacking him for a few years.
After 2 or 3 years of Kentucky not winning a championship, they would start attacking him again.

Such a ridiculous post. We haven't gotten a 1 seed in the NCAA tournament in the longest streak in our program's history, we haven't been to a final four in 8 years and haven't won a tournament game since 2019. And this guy says we'd have to win 3 championships out of 4 years to satisfy people.
Talk about being disconnected from reality.
Why respond to the OP's incessant BS? He asked the same questions and was seriously run off the football board for his trolling.
Let's be honest, none of us cares what the other one feels about this subject. That is reality. The board has turned into a total mess lately.
Cal needs to win a title. The UCLA game matters because we need quality wins to get a 1 seed in Louisville region. Simple as that.

Is this the greatest matchup in the history of the sport?
Would entering league play with 0 quality wins be enough for you to say Calipari is underperforming?
It will be like every other time on here.
If we win, it'll quiet down a bit until our next defeat.
If we lose, it'll be blast Cal
There's no surprises here lol. People that like Cal will continue to like Cal and people that hate Cal will continue to hate Cal.

Define quality wins tho?
I mean if you are including Michigan St (40th in KP) you have to include Michigan (44th in KP).
If you are excluding those teams well we really only played one other quality team lol.
I think it's pretty clear this year the SEC has good teams. The bulk of our resume is going to be based on what we do in conference this season IMO
A lot of the hatred that exists for Cal on this board has very little to do with basketball. It is totally irrational and unfair.
Most people on this forum may not feel that way but a significant number of people do. The reality is that some of the people on this board will always hate Cal's guts.

It will certainly help. But if he loses it’ll go to a completely new level and stay there until well into January when we play our next good team @ Alabama . He has to prove he can beat a good team . Our post 2015 against ranked teams record currently sits at 26-30 . He HAS to turn that around.

He's got so many people on ignore that he probably sits there wondering "why isn't anyone taking the bait anymore?"
How about the rest of the people who aren’t Cal haters or Cal lovers, just UK fans who want the best for the program? Where do those weirdos fit in?
HH man the only thing that will quiet the hate is a final four run with the potential for championship
A convincing win will help the mood but we looked like the best team in the country at times last year. And then well….we know how that went.
Or like me who like Cal for the most part but are pissed at his on court performance.
Dude has got to get it together.
