The funniest thing is that they seemed to think we were bitter because they “stole” our coach that we really wanted to keep.

Hard to misread the mood any worse than that. Everyone I know was delighted when he took the Arky job. That day was like Christmas in April.

Click bait…. This is before Kansas game…I bet if you asked them now they wish they didn’t have Cal…and had picked up “ juko players” like Butler who played a final 4 instead of “ worst NiL money spent like Davis”.

Just for the record, we enjoyed the first 10 years of Cal at Kentucky. But now s better for everyone that he is no longer our coach,.,

As far as Arkansas fans ….hmmm how is to be worst team in SEC?

It’s one thing to be excited to hire a Hall of Fame coach. It’s another thing to punch up at a superior conference opponent who has basically owned you for 30 years.

I’m too young to remember but were UK Football fans talking trash to Alabama fans when we hired Bill Curry? From what I was always told, Crimson Tide fans were happy to see him go.

Good grief, there’s always one on in the crowd. It’s a jab at one of our rivals and you take it in another direction, gettin all serious.

Nabors is such a DB! Cracks me up watching them bump their gums since 90% of them have never seen an Arkansas Final 4 lol

When we play Arkansas and have that touching video package welcoming Cal back, I’m really hoping the athletics department troll Cal with only showing lowlights, things like Shaedon Sharpe in shootaround, him screaming maniacally at Julius Randle and assistant coaches at press conferences. Then, acknowledge it as a friendly rib before doing the serious, sappy one. Gotta get those shots in for joining a rival. I know our school is too professional to do that though lol

The media portrayed our fan base as unrealistic and being crybabies over winning one tournament game in four years.
Just because he was a hall of famer doesn’t mean we should accept losing.
We are just checking to make sure we were right. We were.

Why are you presuming such a thing will happen? We didn’t do that with Pitino when he first returned with UL, did we?

He’s coming as an opposing coach to compete against us, not to be commemorated.

Thought they had somethin’.


They ain't so arrogant anymore now are they. Any time you see a coach walk away from not only a blueblood job, but the top coaching job in the sport for a lesser job (Tubby Smith leaving UK for Minnesota, Bill Curry leaving Alabama football for UK & now Calipari leaving UK for Arkansas) You can bet the farm that coach will be a complete flop at his next job. What else did the Arkansas fans expect

We must beat Arkansas at Rupp. There's been no bigger regular season "must win" game in the last five years.

Then have Wilson commit directly thereafter, just to vanquish the pig dreams of being competitive next year.
I actually think that the Arkansas game is the most important game of the season. Bigger than UL, bigger than Duke. It is a must win game for the Cats and I believe that Arkansas will be ready to try to win the game for Cal. I’m not looking forward to the game, Arkansas might be a Quad 2 game by the time they come to Rupp.

Just laughing at them being Quad 2 after all of the **** their fans talked this summer.

Over/under on the amount of “injuries” Ark has come Feb 1st?

I hated Ark long before Cal got there and I’ll hate them long after him. This little stretch has been fun to see them twist and squirm. They went from hating Cal at UK, to thinking he’d march them to a FF, and know they’re just as confused as we were the last 3-5 years of his tenure.

Sometimes everything works out as needed, this whole situation is one,

Eventually, maybe we can welcome Cal back like we did with Pitino.

But for the game coming up in a few weeks, they should do exactly as you said.. video footage of the low points, overt boo'ing, etc. The fans and the program should make it utterly impossible for him to come in here, and get a win against UK in his first year at Arkansas.

And if Arkansas keeps spiraling, this game against UK might literally be the death blow to Arkansas this year if we win.

We couldn’t get rid of him because UK didn’t want to pay the buyout.

He went on a date with another girl, and voided his contract. We were backed into a corner and they helped get us out. Biggest assist of all time!

We would basically have Arkansas roster. We wouldn’t have had Johnell Davis, but they don’t have Johnell Davis either. We’d be 0-3 in the SEC, and have lost most of our tough non-conference games.

Instead, we lucked into one of the smartest minds in college basketball. After years of watching that eye sore of an offense, we have one of the most exciting offenses in CBB.

We’ll win a couple games in the NCAAT, Cal and Arkansas won’t even make it.

Arkansas may not even win a single game in SEC

Cant wait to hear Cal "You cant win them all, but you cant loss them all"

the most hilarious part about arkansas fans all throughout the summer and early fall was this made up narrative that UK fans were upset that they stole our coach

they and the talking heads on espn like greenburg and dykes all talked about this rejuvenated cal
