Just like when we ran Tubby off or fired Gillespie. Now it’s we should have kept Cal no matter what. It only happens to us.
Do we deserve this crap?

Yeah, Williams' tweet is just par for the course. Is anyone surprised? The only surprising thing is that he gave any credit to UK and Pope at all. He was itching to pump up Duke but the game didn't end as he expected. He really had no choice.
Vitale's comments are not surprising in the least. He's always backing up coaches, right or wrong. He gave UK fans down the road when Tubby left. He will always take the part of the coach and slam the fans. As for UK fans "obsessing" over Calipari, I'd say most are laughing at Cal and also seeking a little vindication. That was like a messy breakup and our EX is getting the attention but we're actually winning. So, Dick better get used to it. It's gonna happen at least for this season, through every first or similarity, and definitely when they come to Rupp.
Apparently you have a reading comprehension problem. You’re the only D-bag in this thread. I never said UK was a Rudy story, I said that’s how he presented it.

Yeah I see all these Arkansas fans saying that when I comment in videos about them. I’m like your just mad everything I’ve said is already coming true. Like the early season loss to the only good team you played? Do you like struggling against Troy? How about having 6 healthy players? It’s the 3rd game and already Cal is missing at least 3 of his rotation players, he’s gonna run down the healthy ones. He’s already saying the same nonsense in press conferences. He doesn’t know who they play next, and some fans are seeing the cracks already. Exactly what we said would happen. Same coach, staff, and players. Different university.
Kentucky against the world. F**k ‘em.
They are already saying, “it’s early, we aren’t even healthy.” “Wait until Aidoo is healthy, and later in the year.” “Cal always tweaks stuff and they get good in February.” I’m like you all sound just like we did before everyone finally woke up and got off the hype train.Next year though…
After talking at halftime about they were the deepest and most talented team since 2001 that loss made him look like a fool for sure. One, their talent couldn't beat a bunch of non future lottery picks and two because their "deep bench" gave them 43 minutes, 6 points and 12 boards while UK's bench played 68 minutes, 25 points and 11 boards.
Stop feeding the trolls. Let them scream into the void.
Its the easy answer but bbn just can never do it.

I agree with your point to a degree
But on the other hand…..
1. Jay Williams gets on at half and rattled off how this is life past Duke teams that dominated with great players all over as if they have some depth. 8 players played for Duke. 2 guys played 36 minutes…and vanished down the stretch. Only two guys put up 20 ish shots. So his analysis of the game and team was not accurate
2. Vitale…oh where to begin with how wrong he gets in. Losing tubby would set the program back ten years….to now Cal and how UK fans should react to Arkansas. Please. How about how cal talked down to and meme called fans for his performance in the end
All in all, espn as a whole just is too much blathering opinions..//but they left the ranch when it comes to basketball analysis….so Ky fans can be nutty but many are able to see real basketball when they see it
The bigger questions are, Why would anyone be watching espn if there’s not a Ky game on and why would anyone follow any of these shills on any platform??
Well, I do have to say the obsession some have of Calipari is just stupid. He's gone, we got what we wanted, now let it go, move on to our future. Some on here sound like young women who can't get over their Ex.
I certainly wouldn't lose a wink of sleep over anything Jay Williams says about anyone. And Vitale is a Cal slurper. Let 'em all talk.
JWill’s salt is not so much that Duke lost but that Kentucky came back from down 10 in the 1st half, 9 at half, 10 in the 2nd half and like 8 pts with 8 to play.
Duke led the whole freakin game, kinda like in 98 until mills hit the 3 with 2 mins.
Those clowns just knew they had us multiple times and they absolutely cannot believe UK won while locking the Devils down for just 26 after intermission.
These are the best kinda wins imho esp v those nimrods.
Kentucky took Duke’s pitch fork and shoved it up the Devils….

The way I see it they are analyst and they are free to say what they think, but fans are allowed to react to that however they want. If you are gonna complain about how fans are being fanatic then don't be surprised when they complain about your analysis of games.
If you want to be a prick and pick fights with the biggest fan base in the sport, don't cry about it when we win bring the fight right back at you.

Look he is a Dookie. I have no problem (off TV camera) with him being a Duke fan. It is when he is on ESPN and pulling for Duke openly that is bad. He can do what he wants in his car, on X, Tic or IG. Heck more power to him.
The devils went down to Georgia, looking for a game to win, they were in a bind because they fell behind with only seconds left again. When they came across these old men fiddlin with the ball, they were smiling, dancing and realizing they have what it takes to win it all....
You all can do this better. Pick it up, fix it and finish it.

Cal has already shown at Arkansas why we kicked his sorry *** to the curb.
Yep, I was guilty of those rationalizations when I was still sold on Cal. If those excuses were only necessary once or twice, maybe they would be valid. But we all know those excuses are always necessary with Calipari's teams. I don't understand the injuries, but there is no denying his teams struggle with injuries and I don't think it's just because he has "bad luck." And the need for "tweaks" is very familiar to UK fans, along with not knowing how to play a zone or how to attack a zone. Those are both coaching issues, not player issues. That's just the way Calipari operates and it's every season.
Jay Williams forgets who he's talking to. We had 3 #1 draft picks under Cal, not one of them got media love like fat Zion and this kid. He might want to wait and see if this kid goes #1. And compare Zion to Wall, Townes, and Davis. He's a dud.
In my reply I explained how it was far from this amazing underdog story and proceeded to say it was a d-bag thing to say. Why would I agree with everything you said then call you a D-bag? The only one with comprehension issues is you?
And it’s scary how quick it spreads and how many millions and possibly billions become deceived and brainwashed because of something they read instead of forming their own opinion!
So fans shouldn’t criticize anyone but it’s perfectly fine for Vitale to criticize fans? Dick Vitale and Jay Williams both need to criticize the person in the mirror.
Holy cow. Nailed it. There is no better analogy.
It's SOOO funny to watch people show that they hate it when UK fans are having fun. They wanted us to be miserable with Tubby forever and they LOVED it that we were in hell the last 5 years of Calipari. We live in a world that nobody can be happy for anyone else.
They can get lost.
They can get lost.
Zion does have career averages of 22.7 ppg/ 8.0 reb / 5.3 ast which is impressive. But he has never played more than 70 games in a season. <5K career points. 2x all star
Wall - 18.7 / 4.2 / 8.9, played > 70+ games 4 years in a row. 12K points, 5x all star
KAT - 26.5 / 12.2 / 2.7, didn't miss ONE game until his 4th year. 13K points, 4s all-star
Davis - 30.2 / 10.8 / 2.8 18K points, 9x all star, 1 champ
It bugs me when people criticize Kentucky fans for talking **** about Cal. He talked down to us for years - treated the media and fans (the people who keep this program going) like ****, then talked to Arkansas behind our backs. He’s a prick and a liar and brought it on himself. That’s aside from the fact that he tried to run our program into the ground for his own benefit of “getting kids to the league”. Walked around like he was their masiah
Sometimes we come across like a dude that scored a really fine chick but lack the confidence that would allow us to walk down the street with her because the rest of the world isn't blind and knows she is hot and gets attention.
However, that doesn't bug nearly as much as the weird thing too many do which is the inclination to call teams we beat overrated or trash because it stupidly announces we can only bear trash teams.
Too many cannot find a sliver of class that allows them to even pretend to respect the game and it is a piss poor look.

He trashed our Program, he did not respect our tradition, and gave away most every record we held for decades. It was about time we took out the trash.
Williams comments were mostly correct but I found them demeaning cause he was kinda mansplaining to us simpleton Kentucky fans
….not to mention all the same national talking heads who are trying to condemn UK fans now for pointing out that we were right about needing change and Cal is the same old song and dance….we’re the same voices shouting at us and talking down to the fanbase claiming we would regret it….
It’s typical poke the bear and then cry victim when the bear pokes back and shows its might

It is amazing how they can have issues with what fans are saying while championing a guy that says all kinds of crazy stuff. If Arkansas was playing well and we weren't, they would be lecturing us about how we should have been more appreciative of Cal. They would be trashing us now. So, I don't care what those they say. Maybe they should be saying Cal should have been more appreciative of us while he was here.
I get what you were trying to say, but I also understand why the poster thought you were comparing us to Rudy because we don't have the 5-star players like Duke. It is all good because we didn't curl up and die like our detractors hoped would happen because their idol went to Arkansas.

I will never understand why media talking heads think they can lecture fanbases about how they should feel about the coach. We deal with these guys all year, thru every game, off-season, recruiting, press conferences, etc. We obviously want them to succeed. Duh....When fans turn against the coach, there is usually a very good reason. The Vitales of the world can shut their pie-holes about us.
Easy. pope is Hope. Fu&k them both. They want UK to be bad and they hate our fan base. ESPN is broke and a joke.
