I’d bet the O/U at maybe 10 people on RR who cares about anything other than basketball. And woah. One coach. I guess every other coach is like Pitino aren’t they?
Elephant in the room. UofL is SuCkS superbowl.......

Kerry...that was my point in another post and you called me a coward and a lame poster. My point has always been that the number priority for any coach for UofL is to beat UK. Pitino never got that. Padgett is too inexperienced to know better. UK arrogant attitude is to always look down at UofL...then add their stupid fan base, should make it even more of a priority to win at all costs. I've gotten banned from numerous times because I've tired to express in a not so nice of a way. Now that Pitino is gone, we need a coach that will understand this and act accordingly. You hear the beat UK, then everything will work out.
Its not the number one priority.
Number one is to put your team in a position to compete for a final four.
Number 2 is to win your conference.
Number 3 is to beat your rivals.
I know education should be number one, but lets be honest. Most athletes dont
take advantage of the free education. You cant force them to learn.
I know.
Having 10 five stars, HOF coach, playing in a garbage conference,
and still not making the Final Four.
How did yall cope ? Harassing Higgins ?
Aint that the pot callin the kettle Black.
Doesnt crapipperi have vacated Final Fours on his resume......
Thought so..........
It is only ridiculous because teams like Harvard and Georgia didn't try to come in and run with UK, they played a slower brand of basketball and forced UK to play half court sets.
Louisville always tries to run with UK, which is their DNA. If you're going to do that, you're running the risk if getting blown out.
Teams like Georgia, Harvard and Virginia (who is the best at it) don't get blown out because they slow the game down to a grind. They accomplish two things by doing that:
1) they take the crowd out of it
2) they make the game a grind which gives them the best chance to steal a win because it's going to be a close game with 2 minutes left more times than not.
Louisville refuses the play that way because that's not their DNA.
UL fans should easily be able to understand this, you guys struggle with Virginia. UK struggles with teams like Georgia for the same reason.
But by all means, go ahead and make yourself feel better by thinking UL is UK's superbowl. It's definitely a more exciting game than playing a non rival, but UL hasn't beaten UK enough to be considered anything but an in-state rival.
Ok...let's hear this. I'm guessing you are simply saying he doesn't have them on his resume' because they were vacated?
According to the NCAA OFFICIAL guide book, the 1996 Final Four has vacated
by the name of UMass. Same in regards to the 2008 Final Four having vacated by
Memphis State.
No suprise you and the rest of big blew are as arrogant as juan.
Of course UofL is going to run wi da mighty wildcayuts. Who da eff are yall ?
Louisville isnt some mid major needing to slow the game down, to beat yall.
That was the 1st blowout in this series since 2011, and that wasnt a beatdown.
Time after time, year after year it's proven that uofk plays its best game against UofL.
Lose to Vermont. Embarrassing. Laughing stock for a dsy.
Lose to Louisville-
Cancel the series. We get nothing out of it. Its lose lose.
They cheat. Hookers. Sun was in my eye.
Facts.
You don’t honestly believe that a group of freshman play their best game in December every year. This year may be the only exception to that because of the lack of resistance shown from Louisville. Your team looked like they didn’t want to be on th floor. Other than that our games are always close and each team gets better throughout the year.
I understand that you’re trolling the poor souls who venture over here but you’re making yourself look dumb in regards to the actual game of basketball.
He was cleared, the NCAA cleared him in both cases. They never found a single shred of evidence that showed he knew anything about Camby taking money or Rose having someone else take his SAT (allegedly).
Just stating facts, Calipari was never accused or charged with anything in either case. Those are the facts.
None of that is correct, but if it makes you feel better, by all means.
And you don't have to be a mid major to play possession ball. Virginia is the first team that comes to mind and they aren't a mid major.
Plus, teams like Georgia play that style every game, not just against UK.
All I'm saying is the 29 point win over UL, followed by the narrow margin of victory over UGA is nothing more than one game being a track meet that got away from UL and the other being a grind it out type game.
Conference games are always more important than non conference gxmes, you know that.
Thanks for the novelette on an irrelevant subject. The other slappy's issue is Super Bowl, not style of play, margin of victory, or any of your subplots.
Reading is your friend.
"Elite program," my a$$...
The question was, does Calipari have vacated Final Fours; and the only factual answer is yes, he does. Those vacated Final Fours are as much a part of his legacy as they are Rose/Memphis and Camby/UMass. He can not accurately claim those Final Fours (same with Pitino if our sanctions stand).

He's certainly trying, but I think he is starting to find out that he's been lying, only he didn't know it. He believed everything he was saying.
It's all in how you want to look at it. To me, he didn't cheat and he did coach those teams to final fours. Doesn't matter to me, neither vacation is on UK's head, but I will defend his innocence. He, himself did not cheat.
And that...was not the question. Of course it's not on UK's head; it happened at 2 other programs while he coached there. The fact that he bailed before the sanctions came down does not mean he can retain those accomplishments as part of his record and legacy.
Looks like you misunderstood me. I only brought up the part about UK to say that I really don't care about the vacated final four's.
Never said anything about him getting to keep those records because he bailed prior to the sanctions, so I'm not sure why you said that.
Again, same defense as Pitino's. Twist and squirm all you want.
"Elite program," my a$$...
What you SAID when KerryRhodes stated "doesn't Calipari have vacated Final Fours on his resume".
To which you replied, "Actually no, he doesn't". Which, in fact, he does. Looks like you're trying to back away from what you actually said.

Actually no, he doesn't.
Does HE have those Final Fours to claim on HIS Resume? No...he does not. THAT is the whole question. Whether you or UK fans recognize them or not is irrelevant; the NCAA does not. Final Fours is the topic here; not Calipari's guilt or innocence.
There's a difference between showing "vacated final fours for 1996 and/or 2008" and zero final fours for the 96 and 2008 seasons. His resume wouldn't say anything about vacated seasons.
Of course we are talking like he put together a damn resume to apply for a job, so it's not like it's something that can be linked as it doesn't actually exist.
I'm sure his Wikipedia page talks about the two vacated seasons, but that's not his resume.
You're being intentionally obtuse here. Nobody misunderstood anything you said. Maybe you misspoke, but you did make a false statement; own it or not. Please stop high jacking our thread trying to justify your inaccurate post.Just my view:
Caliparis record is what it is. Vacated games and all.
Not many UK fans could tolerate him before he came.
BUT:
His recruiting and record since he's been at UK is hard to argue with.
In all honesty, before the sh!t hit the fan, there was no way you could complain about Pitinos accomplishments.
This is just an off year.
College basketball is a better game when UK and UofL are pushing each other to the limit.
If the NBA follows through and gets rid of 1andDone it will be even better.

Cal was captain of the ship at mass and Memphis when they got in trouble. He himself didn’t do anything wrong but that’s beside the point. He must own what happened. But UK fans don’t. I hate when UK fans constantly have to answer for what happened at umass and Memphis.
Rick Pitino had 8 violations while at Hawaii. Do we have to talk about that too? Because I don’t think any of us do.

It's the lie-vs-liar issue. You don't have to prove that Lite has cheated at LPT; all you have to prove is that he's CAPABLE of that. THAT is the baggage LPT fans have to "constantly answer for" while you have him employed. It's the everyday version of an NCAA show-cause...
Agree to disagree, I never intended to hijack the thread, just tried to respond to incorrect opinions passed off as facts.
Pitino had those violations YET Cm newton and big blew fans HAD NO problems
with hiring him.
He was cheating on his wife while in lexghanistan, yet yall had no problems with that.
Youre record follows you around. You just stated that you hate when people bring up
Umass and Memphis State, yet you bring up Hawaii.
The hypocrisy of your fan base is deeper than the Mariana trench.
What i stated was fact.
Vermont, UofL, GA.
Which game will cow actually try and coach in ?
Cow often states 'were other teams super bowls. We get their best shot.'
You didnt get Louisville 's. best.
Well then, the corrupt coach Pitino was hired to clean up your program....FACT...lol
It was not hypocrisy go back and read it again. I just used the Hawaii thing as an example. It’s a non issue. We’re on the same page with that
Yes rick did do all that stuff while in Lexington and you guys should not have to answer for any of that.

Okay, I'm not sure why you directed that to me, I only talked about Pitino's issues while at UL. Didn't know about the stuff at Hawaii, news to me.
