Kentucky v Louisville 2020

"“We’ve got to figure out how to win some of these games, and I think if we win, we’ll go on a run and they’ll start believing. This is hard,” Calipari said during his call-in radio show. “This is what I’m saying to all our fans, you’ve got to have faith. There are a lot of trolls out there right now. And let me say this, they just moved our game from ESPN2 to ESPN. Why do you think they did that?” They’re hoping, “Here’s (loss) number six.” We’ve got to ruin ESPN’s weekend.”

“That’s got to be our job. “We’re going to ruin your weekend.” We know why you put this on ESPN instead of ESPN2. You want more people to go to the execution! Well, we ain’t having it,”
Calipari said. “We’ve been beating everybody’s brains in for 11 years, you don’t think all these people are waiting in the wings because they think they can beat us now? “For the first time, we’ve got a chance!”‘

We need our fans more than ever before. Please, people out there, many trolls, other programs, why would they not jump on this? We beat them all down for 11 years! Now all of a sudden, “We have a chance to beat Kentucky, let’s go!” ESPN, they played right into it. “Let’s move this game, let’s watch the execution with more people watching.” Let’s ruin their weekend.”

“You need to help us. You need to be for these kids. You’ve got to beat down these trolls yourself,”
Calipari said. “These kids are playing for your state, they’re playing for this university. The people piling on them, pile on me. You want to blame anybody, you pile on me. I’ve always seen adversity as an opportunity. It’s an opportunity to do something good and make a difference when the struggle is on. I think things happen for a reason.

“Going through things like this, when was the last time one of my teams started, I don’t think any of my teams started 1-5. None of us have lived through all the stuff we’re living through. I’ve probably made mistakes with how I’ve dealt with everything to the umpteenth degree to make sure these kids are safe and they’ve been safe, but it’s hurt us as a team and that falls on me. Have faith in this team, I do.”

Yikes, John...
 
I there any tv provider anywhere that offers espn and not espn2? I don’t see the deal. If you want to watch the game u can, if you don’t you don’t have to. Whether it’s on ESPN, espn2, espnu, or cbs makes no difference.

Looking for something to bitch about imo.

There’s actually been plenty of fans that have grown tired of how Cal runs the ship. It just depends on who you want to listen to. I know you like to visit rafters but that’s about the worst place to go if you’re looking for level headed fans. The fans who don’t appreciate the level of turnover we have are being heard more.

Fans were quiet in the beginning because we were winning at an all time clip. It didn’t matter that we were turning over 4 players a year. But it’s exponentially gotten worse in the turnover department. And there’s really only one person to blame for that. Now that we aren’t winning, there’s going to fans that weren’t as vocal about the turnover at first coming out and voicing displeasure.
There’s even people comaparing Tubby’s last 5 years to Cal’s, noting they’re similar, which was enough pressure to have Tubby look elsewhere - or get run off, depending on which side you listen to.
 
Nah, you’re not angry at all. Moron. RollLaugh

“YoU’rE nOt AnGrY aT aLl MoRAn“ 🤡

I can’t be angry while laughing at you. You are comic relief in an otherwise depressing thread. I can’t speak for everyone, but I appreciate it bro.
 
Cal is morphing into a slob, Mack is the ugliest coach in D1.

Mack is actually Terry Meiners, I’m convinced of it. Laughing

And yes, Cal looks lazy - his transition from nice suits respecting his position to track suits and unqualified buddy hires is telling

If losers like you had anything to live for but college basketball, you wouldn't be so angry.

But here we are. Poor guy...
 
OK, now you are just starting to clutter up the thread by continuing to seek my approval.

I can’t give it to you, you have to earn it.

This is going to be quite possibly the worst game ever in the series.

What was the best? Dream Game maybe? Trying to think of what the worst was. Maybe one of the 90s Rick v Denny games?
I thought the 2012 games were super competitive. Out of every other team that year, I thought we matched up decently against your championship squad. However, AD is AD.

Ughhhh ****in valentine smh. Least we can see the infamous crow hop charge calls
 
Yea shows is the zebra who had the best seat in the house a decade ago when cousins forearmed swopshires head against the court in a move that would have made Dana white smile and somehow that “looked like a basketball move” to the officials lmao and even more confusing resulted in free throws for uk lol.

But not like Uk didn’t win by like 20 anyways with wall and cousins and Patterson and company we were simply outclassed at every position on the floor.

If it "looked like a basketball move" then why did Cousins get a technical for it? The reason UK shot free throws was because Louisville was assessed 2 technicals (Swopshire for the knee to Cousins head that resulted in the retaliatory forearm shiver, and Delk for pushing Cousins once he stood up).

Who is "in"/"out" for Louisville?
Guessing it’ll be this line up. We’re not very deep w/ injuries.

Carlik Jones
David Johnson/ Josh Nickelberry
Dre Davis
Samuell Williamson/Q Slazinski
Jaylen Withers/Traynor

Yikes.....No Mineard? How much longer is Williams out?

Idk about Charles Minlend, he was supposed to be back already. Guessing it’s a longer rehab time than expected. Which sucks because I’ve really been looking forward to watching him play. Malik is supposed to be out until late January early February. Feel for the kid, this year I was expecting big things from him. Without him in the post, that’s our weak area for sure right now. Without those two guys, our team is essentially Carlik and a bunch of freshman/sophomores, which is quite evident with our turnovers. I love David Johnson, but damn he’s careless with the ball at times.

JC was summoned and still didn’t appear.

Guessing he won’t be seen for awhile....

My mistake, that was a long time ago. But your absolutely right, I forgot we got two technicals during the altercation. I just remember seeing swop get his head bounced off the court with a forearm/elbow and UK ending up at the line once he got up. But your right they did hit cousins with a tech, my mistake.

The basketball move in that scenario imo was the swopshire knee to the head with both players going for the loose ball. A foul yes, technical....meh idk, it’s not like he had any intent but there was contact to the head. It def was not quite the ufc move that cousins retaliated with though. Regardless a couple free throws in a blowout were not the difference.

Plus that was ages ago but it still Doesn’t get me excited about shows in stripes tommorow.

I am prepared to see at least 50 fouls called.

Johnson is the only name I see there that I think I recognize.

I tried. Let’s give it a couple hours, I don’t have a lot of confidence going into this game ever...plus our front court is running on a skeleton crew.
