What’s the over/under on how many times he talks about Calipari?

Be prepared to hear what a great hall of fame coach he is and how UK fans are crazy for pushing him out. (Also, the same man who relentlessly hammered us for pushing Tubby out).

I can hear him already “He got a raw deal from the fans baby, but he came back to Rupp and dropped a W”.

I guess he won’t mention how Cal left us for a SEC rival after lying to our face on TV while he was currently talking to Arkansas. Then taking 3 key players with him and making Pope start from scratch.

I’m super pumped to have a Dickie V game again. I don’t care if he wants to talk about Cal the whole game while eating Tyson chicken nuggets. I see this as a privilege I did not expect to experience again

Can we just have a game that is void of personalities and theatrics? Like I'm happy for Dickie V, dude is the face of college ball. But theres undoubtedly going to be some portion of each half where they talk about him, and not the game.

I just want to watch a UK game and have it be about the UK game.. not about the officials, not some special white-out jersey retirement for the opponent, not Dykes and Raveach blabbering on, not asking us "have you seen Cooper Flagg yet?".. for the love of God, just have a UK basketball game on its own lol.

Oh Gawd.

Some people like to listen to stats and opinions about the game. I guess others enjoy him fantasizing about Cooper Flagg and Calipari, with subtle shots at the fans.

Things won’t mentioned—- losing to Oakland, Saint Peters, Evansville, UNC-Wilmington, or any other embarrassing loss that landed us on PTI.

I respect that he isn’t your cup of tea. That’s cool, man.

I bet he absolutely showers Pope with praise. Not saying he won't talk about Cal, but I bet he talks Pope up a lot.

He'll bring up Pope, but he will never speak higher of Pope than Calipari. We'll see.....I just have a feeling from watching his twitter garb that he'll use this time to praise Cal a lot and make us seem like we didn't treat him well.

Was excited to at least hear his voice the other day, but no longer. It’s a shame, but he just isn’t the same..

cal was here 15 years. it’s not much of a topic. the only reason it was considered a big shake up is because he gets top talent. it hasn’t affected us, or arkansas for that matter. he might mention it, but no one will care. he’ll also talk about pope and pitino etc.

I’m glad Vitale is doing okay and can get back to what he loves, but I am not looking forward to hearing him call the game with Ravech and Dykes.

Glad he's feeling better, but now there's an even more importance on syncing the game with Leach and Goose.

I think he will compliment Pope and the job he’s done this year, especially when the team was healthy and do a nice reference about Pitino and Pope. Good guy and I usually enjoy it when he calls a UK game.
