You’re going to have Stan Heath and John Pelphrey level coaching and relevance once again when Cal leaves, so enjoy it while it lasts.
It’s exactly what’s going to happen. Calipari didn’t actually want to go to Arkansas. Really no choice, Calipari’s choice was Ohio State. They said no thanks.

Arkansas is going to get a year maybe 2 tops of decent tournament runs likely without a final four. Then it’ll be back to regional program U like always.

Gonna be a while before Cal retires, he has Tyson, Walmart, and J B Hunt money to work with, and you guys already have Pelphrey and Heath level coaching in place. Enjoy another year of being very mediocre.
Calipari lol you guys are clueless to the guy. Calipari isn’t staying, next year might be it, maybe one more. But I’ll never happen past that. Calipari has been using his recruiting machine to retire already. You and your little regional program know nothing about Calipari how he operates or who he is. Calipari won’t be at ark long at all and will never return once he leaves. It was simple a place to cash the remainder of his lifetime contract because he didn’t have any other offers and Kentucky was done with it.

Your program is a poverty regional nothing school. lol. Calipari wouldn’t even take a dump there and second guess picking it up with a bag.

You just won the SEC tournament for the first time since like 1994 😂
It’s such a pathetic fanbase. Almost 40 years since a final four lololololol. Praying to God Calipari will create a Kentucky effect there, won’t happen. I don’t think Arkansas fans realize how small they are nationally. Calipari doesn’t even care that they exist. I love watching him when they do the cringy pig call which is the most embarrassing thing I’ve seen in sports. He just ignores it and acts like it’s not happening 😂😂😂

Well we do know he took a dump on you all when he left and the diarrhea hasn't stop pouring on you all yet. Lol
In all seriousness, what time Kentucky play Friday? I want to make sure I beat the crowd at Buffalo Wild Wings to cheer you all on.

Two of the last three years Cal was here we had seasons where we earned 2 and 3 seeds.

This narrative that he somehow quit on the team is ridiculous.

Spoiled fan base. Hell I would have quit on you to.
If you keep it up, Pope is going to quit on you then who you're going to get? Travis Ford?
Brad will be the next coach at Arkansas once his dad retires in a year or two. It was one of the reasons he agreed to that job to begin with.

Bets keep pouring in for AZ. Line has shifted -1 AZ (-8.5 now) and ML for Ark +40 (270 -> +310) I just put another 20 on it, those are odds I'll take with Darius Acuff.

No still plenty of alpha males out there that would crawl over glass to come here. We have a weak AD and eventually the ship will get on its proper course.

Why are you here? Because the hog message boards are mostly empty or focused on golf . Don't worry you can still pull out your shirt from your one natty and celebrate. Nobody cares about Arkansa dude , might as well be NC State.

We played the first two games in the tournament with 6 players. That is it. We will have 7 tonight.
We cant play tough D. I spent 80 percent of the season thinking we had a bad D. But in reality we simply cannot play D like we are able to. Watch the last 3 minutes of the last game and see what our D is like when we lock down.

I’m pulling for St John’s in this years tournament. Would like to see Pitino with one last ride. I wouldn’t have said that until recently. I’ll probably feel the same about Cal one day. But not for a good while.

That's what I'd like to see happen. Ten is more realistic.

You people who are suddenly revisionists about John Calipari as a way of attacking Pope are delusional and pathetic.

Calipari flat out quit on Kentucky, once he got his lifetime contract, and wanted to blame the fan base -- all of us -- for the fact that he went 9-16, then lost to St. Peter's with NBA-caliber talent, then couldn't beat Jerome Tang with the National Player of the Year and an NBA guard, then decided NOT TO START two NBA lottery picks, and lost to a Horizon League team despite having about six guys drafted in the NBA and still playing there.

He screwed up Reed Sheppard's head to the point that a guy now averaging 14 ppg in the NBA looked worse than Jon Hood against some guy for Oakland who is probably a DoorDash driver today.

Calipari quit on Kentucky, and now that he wrecked our program he's putting in the effort again -- just to stick it to us and salve his own ego. That makes him a loser and a turd.

I'm not totally sold on Pope. One more year, and we'll know whether he needs to go. For that year, I might as well back him and wish him well, by way of being a faithful Kentucky fan.
But the Calipari nostalgia on this board is purely for masochists and wimps of the type who'd let someone cheat on them, steal their money, and then wish them well with a new guy.

Thanks. I saw this coming a mile away. It used to be that Calipari would have to get scared to death and choke away the game if he had the best PG in the country like Derek Rose or John Wall or DeAaron Fox, or SGA, or Tyler Ulis, running with Jamal Murray or the best overall talent like 2015. But fat, lazy post-lifetime contract Calipari can lose by 20-plus with Acuff, and maybe the best overall talent in the country because he doesn’t bother to teach defense at all. Or build team discipline. That’s why Kentucky could waltz into Bud Walton and kick his *** in January.

Pope may not get better, and Kentucky may have to move on in a year. But I guarantee you, post 2021 Calipari will never do better than losing to Oakland or St Peter’s, or if he gets a really favorable draw, blown out by the first strong team he plays. Then he’ll babble about “changing lives” as if he gave Acuff 1-in-20 million talent, not God. Hey Cal, Acuff’s “life was going to change” whichever campus he parked on from November to March, you ego maniac.

Calipari fans tonight on here were ready to gloat id they won. Instead deflecting acting like they didn't want him to stay while 247 crapping on popes name. I get criticizing him but the name calling and stupid stuff I've heard last two days make me does the best ever next year, even with his back against the wall.

Seems you are looking for something better than you have, coming to a BBN site. Understandable. All of that exciting talent on your team, as good a guard as you have ever had and probably as good as any in the country, and you get sandblasted off the court. Thankfully, you will always have Hawaii and High Point as high points.

Y’all got blown the eff out with our sloppy seconds sitting on his fat *** while your players gave up and lost all composure
Hence why I said it would be an upset, tough task and Zona wasn’t a good match up .

y’all got blown out by a team without its best player in the round of 32 .

I happen to think this Zona team is the best in the country which is why I picked them to win it all . Some of us can be a little more realistic.

Fun season for me
