They are figuring it out now. Here’s another.

Quote from: LDHognozzle on Yesterday at 08:43:51 PMMaybe our front court thinks they ain't there to score as much as occupy space, and of course never ever get in anybody's way. Kind of a low-key sort of thing.
Cal has to change this, Memphis attack isn't going to work in the sec any more. With the portal to many good players on a team.

Cal thinks a 5 is a rebounder at best

Yesterday at 10:00:08 PM

Cal is Mike Anderson with better talent but in a conference where almost every other coach is better than he is.

Hey, ya mind? We're prognosticating over here, and ya don't need crystal balls to see where we're heading.

The only way they are going to get better is to bench DJ.
He needs about 15-20 min a game backing up Davis and Fland.
I think we know the likelihood of that happening.
About as much chance as Robinson getting benched between 0 and none i would say.

Dang! I forgot about that. Man that UAB loss still stings when I think about it. We were a juggernaut that season. It was one of the best TEAMS I've seen here. GREAT passing and it was beautiful to watch.
It was. I bet a friend at school every game during SEC season. I won $10 every game that year lmfao. It was awesome.

Here is another gem on why people didn’t come to the game.

Quote from: Champs2016 on Yesterday at 08:12:26 PMTeam isn't worth spending the money on. Poorly coached in almost every aspect.
Big fat this. They are flat out awful to watch.

Quote from: HBTHogs on Yesterday at 06:04:23 PMI've never seen so many empty seats for the first game of the SEC schedule. What happened to our crowd?
Team sucks that what happened. I've been watching some CBB this season. I'm not sure there is an SEC team we can beat. Maybe South Carolina or LSU.

When you have a player call a timeout because he knows something needs to change you have a problem. We have a bad coaching staff that has no clue what to do when we can't out talent teams. Teams with smart mature guards will hurt us all year.

I don't understand what Arkansas brass and fans thought they were getting. If they just looked at Cal's last 5 years at UK, they should have known he was washed.
This would be like someone taking Denny Crum right at the end of his coaching career, yeah, he had some success in his younger years, but these guys don't just come alive and change just because they moved to a different town.

It's all about the pomp and circumstance and just hope and pray the results come. With each game it's looking like a dumpster fire and I'm all here for it. Cal lost his way after that 2015 season. That genie is never getting back in that bottle. Different times now.

They should know, they were all at church service! 🙄

They’ll beat Florida because it is a must-win game. Then Cal will turn around and get exposed by somebody like Lamont Paris.
They really have one of the easiest schedules in the SEC.
They get UK, UT, AU, Bama, aTm, and Florida only once
Home games against Ole Miss, OU, and Miss St.
LSU, Mizzou, Texas they play twice.
On second thought it's probably THE easiest schedule in the SEC.

Still ticks me off to this day. Could Tubby have been more brain dead in that moment he invited Nolan to practice?
I didn't remember/know Nolan did that. That team that lost to UAB was one of my favs, Fitch, Daniels, Hayes, they had no superstar but they played team ball better than any other UK team. Went undefeated in the SEC.

Yeah Tubby invited him to our practice before the UAB game and he went straight back to Mike Anderson, his former assistant coach, and told him our entire game plan. He even sat behind the UAB bench during the game if I recall correctly. They knew everything we tried to do.

It’s not likely to get any better this weekend with UF coming to town.

An 0-3 start with 2 out of 3 being at home, that’s hard to bounce back from.

Saturday could make or break them.

UF is their Super Bowl.
They're already thinking about 2/1. Arky is going to be like the SEC teams of old (before we were this basketball power conference) - they don't care how many they lose as long as they win that one against Kentucky.

They have problems galore (starting with their coach), yet their own media is already tweeting randomly about how they can't wait for 2/1.

I'll 100% guarantee Pope has our Cats ready for that game.

You are correct. NR is a UK hater. Played for Texas Western in 66 against the Rupps Runts and was brainwashed to believe that everything about UK was racist.

He NEVER got beyond those feelings, even though Tubby was our coach.
