Will this Cal hate ever abate?

[Bungalow Bill]

I work all day and come here to hopefully discuss UK basketball but just get thread after thread of Cal hate. Will we ever move on to talking basketball again? It's just ridiculous now. Even for Cal haters after 3,000 fire Cal threads it's got out of control completely IMO.

 

[katwest]

I don't think it's hate, it's more like it's time for a change. It can be time for a change without the hate.

 

[Lempface]

Voted both because you left it multi-option.

 

[CHAMPCAT11]

Not until Cal is gone. As others have said, wait till Sharpe and Oscar officially leave. Then this board will explode. And rightfully so. Cal had the basketball world by the *** and pissed it all away. Atta boy Triple C.

 

[bookerfan66]

I don't hate Cal.I hate that he's so set in his way and refuses to make the changes that he obviously needs to.

 

[TankedCat]

What did you want to discuss about basketball other than starting a thread about how bad Calipari is disliked as coach?

if there was a topic I wanted to discuss and it wasn’t being discussed, I would start a thread about it, not a poll about what I didnt want to read about. Seems counter productive

 

[Montana81]

nah. even when he was rolling it was still there.

Just not like now. But he could go back to back and there would still be people hating. I’ve just stopped believing he’s capable. i’ve given up on him.

I think he’s a decent human being. but his time at the top of college basketball is over.

 

[kybassfan]

I hope not. The UBB is like U6. The gift that keeps on giving.

Do you understand Oscar will only leave because of a federal law that prohibits him from making money? That’s the only reason.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Not as long as there are plenty of people -- Louisville, Indiana, Carolina, Tennessee fans, etc. -- with a deep and abiding interest in harming Kentucky's sports programs who are allowed to sign on here and incite the idiots to ever greater levels of lunacy.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Oddly enough, now Tipton is this board's strongest ally. He hates Cal and always has. He wants Cal gone too. He has this board and the quote from Carson that will bury Cal! This board will appreciate Tipton now! They have a common enemy!

 

[Backer cutter]

Yes. Though not on message boards, it ended with Hall. And Sutton. And early message boards it ended with Tubby. Then BCG. It will end with Triple C soon enough. And on we go, as we should.

If Calipari would eat some Humble Pie and put UK ahead of the NBA draft...then yes, it will. Will Calipari do that? I say no.

Now, even if Calipari puts UK ahead of the NBA lottery, is he a good enough coach to take UK BB to the top? IMO, no. Calipari needs a SUPER STUD to make that happen.

That's false. Tipton gets off on harming Kentucky. Cal and Kentucky are not the same. Cal is an employee of Kentucky. He will leave eventually no matter what. Tipton will continue to bash UK even after Cal is gone - unless he dies first, which given Barney's propensity to give these super long contracts, is a distinct possibility.

But, Cal is also responsible for bringing in mercenary players we don't want to be here. It time to completely gut the entire program. Tipton is like a wild fire in California. He can help us burn off the old so the new can regrow again! By the time he is done with this board's help, nothing will be left of the Cal regime and Tipton will either die or retire and we will rebuild with the help of the spirit of the greatest coach of all time, Mr. Rupp!

 

[WildcatFan1982]

We could start the season 20-0 and win every game by 40 and there would still be haters
We could also start the season 0-20 and there would still be people saying "Hey give him another year"

So to answer your question I don't know.

It's not Cal hate to be upset with 9-16 followed by getting St. Peter'd. What's hard for you guys to understand?

I'm positive that sounded hilarious in your head. It should have stayed there.

This is a tough time - and IMO - OPINION - this is dividing the Cal fans from the UK fans.

On one hand some blame the fans for making the fan base/program look bad - fans hating/not appreciating Cal (some would say for due cause - some not). "Who could do better?"

Others would say Cal and his results are making UK look bad - and sadly without debate - the decline has been going on for a MINIMUM of 2 seasons. (I know - 2015...).

This is a results oriented issue - not here to argue overall results. The fact is that most are "what have you done for me lately" types - and with that Cal is not getting it done. More and more frustration has built up, and more than ever, it is spilling out.

If Cal could have pulled off a Final Four this year - I think many would think the ship is being righted (is that a word?) and although not a title - most would think issues have been addressed. Winning covers a multitude of sins. Instead of a Final Four - we suffered an embarrassing loss after a humiliating prior season, other teams are at the final four, records are dropping (not in the good way), short-comings are being exposed and no real accountability or change has been addressed.

Clearly Cal/Mitch are not going to be able to BS their way out of this. Results or resign or remove. Many are done with "wait til next season" and "Look at this recruit" and "look at the NBA results".... UK fans, anyway, are done with all that - not so sure about Cal fans.

Then you do what you want and don't try to tell me what threads I should start. Just scan the board and you'll see mostly Cal bashing threads. No discussions about our guys in the McD game tonight except to ***** about a quote by one of them or anything to do with much other than getting rid of Cal. I wanted to see what the response would be to my question because I'm tired of it and after 12 days of it would love see it at least slow down.

The Cal fans are so quick to say "We had a great season AND YES THE ENDING SUCKED" as though saying that wipes away the horrible, embarrassing result. So they downplay the bad result but then OVERplay Cal's first 5 years here. They are the ultimate in dishonesty.

I think it’s time for a change. There is also a lot of hate. Both things can happen.

Now you are becoming one of my favorite posters! We are going to win this war together. Make Kentucky basketball great again! We need posters! We need some TV time and we need Jerry!

That's probably what I'll get. I just have question either someone's intelligence or sanity if they don't understand why everything is negative on here these days. My advice is stay away if you can't handle it but no they keep coming back with their amazement.

 

[jessieshorts8]

It's not about hate at all.He's simply not getting the job done and refuses to make some needed changes.It was the same way for me at the end of Tubby's tenure.I didn't hate Tubby but felt it was time for him to move on.Same with Cal.

It is hate.

 

[ScottGreene22]

You know when our rivals want you to do something so the program remains irrelevant or down like keep a Coach when he should go or vice versa. That’s what CCC has managed to do. My friends who aren’t KY fans used to always want CCC gone because he’s a cheater or he is ruining the game etc. Not anymore they think KY should keep him forever.

I hope we do keep him for years just so I can come here and see how many miserable fans are still around.

Let me get this straight you want Kentucky to fail just so you can laugh at the fans being upset about it? You must be a UofL fan.

Posts like this show who is really full of hate.You hate other fans and just want Cal around even if he fails to make other fans mad.Shows what a POS human you really are.

Haters will always be haters and idiots will always be idiots.

At least you admit to being both.

Keeping him for years will mean Kentucky has been successful. Sorry if that bothers you.

Hate is a propaganda term.

I don't hate our coach at all. I just want a new coach that puts the UK program first.

I guess 1 title and 4 final fours is not putting UK first?

 

[ukdevildog]

Hates a strong word. I don't hate him, I just want him fired for his incompetence.

He's not a good fit for UK unless he can win at the level that is expected of him (which would apply to any coach who takes this job). We tolerated his BS only because he was winning, and if you're honest with yourself you would agree. I would be fine with him staying IF he would make the changes that are necessary for him to grow as a head coach. He seems a bit too arrogant to acknowledge his shortcomings.

 

[dcw62]

No offense but I wouldn't come back for about a month because after Duke wins it and Sharpe bolts for the NBA, the threads will continue.

 

[Backer cutter]

No. It’s not. Because he sees no outwardly happiness in winning or final 4’s. He is happy as a mule eating briars with a lottery pick though. He needs to rid himself of the University, and the state.
