One thing I take long term solace in is BBN is a special phenomenon it will outlast this and all these clowns. We have sustained through generations. Its trivial to most but not to us. We will be back with a vengeance soon.

Man I would KILL for another joyful-esque 89-90 season. (Attitude wise)
Just watching UK basketball out of pure joy. Beating LSU when they had Shaq and Chris, man.

You’ll never convince me that Cal’s refusal to not start Rob and Reed by the end of the year was solely based on him having the ability to add/replace the “and he took the fifth most shots on the team” AD shtick with “and we had two draft picks come off the bench”.
By the end of the year it was doing a disservice not only to Rob and Reed but you could visibly see that Edwards and Wagner were defeated. They never developed like they were touted and rather than move them to a spot that they could have succeeded, he insisted on turning them into a ceremonious starter that has to have them say WTF.

Matt is finally saying what some of us have known for years (although I suspect that he knew it too), that Calipari is a talent vampire.
The seemingly ENDLESS procession of HS AA's that have come to Lexington, get their talent wasted, and then catch the train somewhere else, and then dominate, and then move on to NBA careers should have been a clue to anyone.

You didn't even need data to see it. The Bennies were on it.
And this is freaking Oakland. Why the hell do we need to match up with them? We should be swinging around our throbbing member and telling them to deal with it. Beat them over the head with the tremendous girth of our best players.
Instead, Cal treats his lineups like scratch off tickets. "If I play enough of these guys, one of them is sure to play well!" He was better with smaller rosters of semi competent players so that he wouldn't succumb to general stupidity and caprice.
Yep, his best teams involved Eloy Vargas being the 7th or 8th man on the roster.
I can't believe you people expect to win tourney games when the other team starts out 1/14. We're changing lives here. See the big picture!

I knew we’d get embarrassed in this tournament, but I thought it would be by this dude with legitimate titties on NC State, not Chandler Bing.
However we ended up with this absurd situation, if there isn't accountability in the very near future -- burn the whole thing to the ground. Until this is addressed they won't get another penny from me -- no tickets, no k-fund, no merch...nothing. Fire Mitch first, then Cal.
The ideal situation would be: Cal and Mitch get called into a meeting. Cal gets fired. Mitch says something like, "I wish you all the best John." and then, as Mitch is getting up and heading toward the door, he hears, "Mitch, why don't you go ahead and have a seat. We need to talk..."
Kansas loses their best player and is murking a trendy upset pick.
How dare you fans expect UK to do things like win tourney games.

"We didn't have a rim protector"
We led the nation in block %
A rim protector is not a necessity and it never has been, even for Cal, for a competent defense.

My favorite was the caller who said Cal didn't miss any shots and didn't turn the ball over.
Said he was being scapegoated.

People like that are what make society so weak/pathetic.
I was really hopeful entering tonight but to be honest, I haven’t been diehard since pre-COVID. Part of it is I moved to California. But primarily it’s due to the fact that Calipari sucked the fun out of Kentucky basketball. It wasn’t appointment viewing for me or for many fans. Sure we all enjoy a fun win and get behind the team. But something was missing.
I realized tonight that I truly love Kentucky basketball and it’s dear to my heart. And tonight really hurt. It made me sad. It made me angry. It made me realize that a change is needed and Calipari needs to go. This program means so much to so many people in our great state, and we can’t let this man take our souls. He already took our hearts. And enough is enough.

There's 45,000 players in the Portal. The recruits/current players are the least of the worries.
You can find 24 year olds with a worse hairline then me who can hit 10 threes in the NCAA Tourney vs a CBB blueblood

Plenty of recruits will come to Kentucky simply due to the transfer portal and NIL. Don’t be scared.
False. Milquetoast Mitch needs to check what his wife's ladies' prayer circle thinks first. Then he will drink a cup of non-caffeinated tea and ponder some more. Then he will call Eli, but it'll be during Eli's naptime. So, in sum, we're screwed.
I was operating on the assumption that there was a dossier/discussion about Mitch as well...
F*cking Calipari Charity University. I lost mine mind when I saw the stupid MFer sitting over there and said some things I’m not (ok, I’m actually very) proud of.
I’m pretty sure we’ve been getting players for many decades and the coach that’s hired will have just as good players.
This isn’t the University of CAL!

To the few idiots who say Cal didn’t miss the shots……
That was beautifully spot on. LOL
The longer he went on, the more and more he started to sound like Sam Kenison. HaHaHa....

He just screams “play harder” at them and this video is evidence.
Theres 0 chance kids like these guys who actually have solid BBIQ and play hard like this bunch (except maybe Rob, who’s less interested in defense than I am in Brussels sprouts) wouldn’t execute it if they were drilled with it.
6:40 of that video is GOLD. "HERE is where Calipari's TERRIBLENESS really comes in..." 
That was a great video and I learned three things from it:
1) General defensive strategy
2) Dillingham is a lazy ***** on defense
3) Cal sucks worse than I thought
That is what is truly amazing. I KNOW that Cal sucks
And yet, I don't know enough about basketball to really understand how NUANCED his poor coaching is.
THAT is how bad of a coach Calipari is.
We played a team that only had ONE chance to beat us; shoot out of their asses from three, and we defend them like they've got Karl Malone and Shaq down low.
I mean, the irony is how dead wrong he is in this particular example.6:40 of that video is GOLD. "HERE is where Calipari's TERRIBLENESS really comes in..."
Shep is no-help, face-guarding Gohlke. No **** he’s not sitting in a help-side position.
Did you listen to him? He is giving Cal **** for his general strategy there. As in why are you face-guarding and picking the guy up from half-court at all. He doesn't even mention help.I mean, the irony is how dead wrong he is in this particular example.
