CALIPARI WOULD NEVER COME, HES SOOO ENTRENCHED AT MEMPHIS!
These guys do this over and over.

Stoops can’t be bought out.
Cal isn’t going anywhere.
cal won’t come to Kentucky he loves Memphis
We can’t do better than stoops.
Kentucky doesn’t have the NIL of others
Kentucky can’t win like that (Vandy nearly playoff, Indiana playoff)

It’s the same **** over and over. Oats would come here most of them want this. Even Baylor retread wanted it but he was too late in the career.

But they’ll just keep on saying this sht over and over. I remember telling these fake type fans Calipari would easily come to Kentucky in 2006. They didn’t believe it. It’s a weird psychology and they’ll keep on thinking it.

Sadly, I miss Cal.
Cal has no shot at winning anything at all. Don’t let them create apathy. At Kentucky if you can’t win titles you can’t be here. That goes for Calipari too. He’s old and washed. He ain’t winning **** at Arkansas. Another beat down by Duke just happened lol.

The big difference is that Cal wanted to be here when they hired BCG. Oats doesn't want to be here. He removed his name before he was even offered or interviewed. Not everyone can be bought. Oats is having better success at Bama without the pressure of being at UK. Just because Cal wanted to be here doesn't mean every coach wants to be here, and no, not everyone has a price. Some people actually may enjoy being successful somewhere else and not being in a pressure cooker that is UK basketball.

None of this ******** is true. He removed himself because he wasn’t getting the offer and he was recruiting against UK for several players at the time. He’s told you he was never offered the job AND still thought about it. He wanted his name linked the same as Barnes did. And guess what, Barnes tried to go to UCLA when they offered and couldn’t l get out of his contract. You think he REALLy didn’t want UK too?

Stop with this stupid sht. Coaches want this it’s why they coach, they want the best and they want the pressure. You get to be famous here, nobody cares in Alabama. Oats loves pressure. He wants the fame. He wants what comes with it. Most of all of them do.

You obviously haven’t got a clue how this works so stop taking about it.

It didn’t even have to be Oats. Did Lloyd, Otzelberger, or Frank Vogel even get considered for the job?

Mitch tripped over his tiny penis with gillispie and needed help from boosters to hold it with cal. Same thing this time.
It is high time this **** ends. Mitch has to be held accountable and ran out of town. He has been given numerous chances to fix this **** and continuously screws it up. No real school would give any AD this many chances to get their powerhouse program back on track as Mitch has been afforded. Either holds our programs hostage with these ridiculous contract extensions, or makes some Mickey Mouse hire that doesn't move the needle one bit!

Listen we as a whole are at a crossroads. For one he ain’t getting fired. So you can forget that. But how we act as a fanbase will determine whether a top shelf coach is even a possibility next time. We have every right to be mad. But the next guy isn’t coming to a place that fires beloved alumni after 2 seasons.

I hated the hire and I’m not surprised we suck. But we need pope to succeed in the worst way. We probably need to rally around the team more than ever. If there is any hope at all that he can be a winner then we really need to help Facilitate it.

Pope probably isn’t staying if he ends up in the NIT with $20 million. Even worse, it’s looking likelier that he’ll have a losing season. Cal got away with it because of Covid weirdness and having 3 Final Fours and a title. Pope isn’t getting an extra year just because he went to the f*cking Sweet 16 and proceeds to have a losing season, something that should never happen at a school like Kentucky. Not even BCG done that.
