I love stoners,I just know he hates it when being called one. So I call him one.

Poking the gummy bear.

I need a better hobby than trolling trolls.

*House is spotless, cars are on point, running 2 businesses, working 3 others, woman is satisfied, i need something else to do.

*also volunteer at St. Jude's. That place is inspiring to say the least. It makes me want to do more.

dear Facebook,

No better place to ask this than right here right now. It seems like some fans of Kentucky these past couple of months think that their athletic department makes as much money as Auburn's does. Do any of you really believe that?

Stats are stats. It is surprising money doesn't equal success.

 

[schoonerwest]

Stats are stats.

To me that means the answer is undeniable.

To you that means?

Correct. Stats are stats.

dear Facebook,

yeah, I'm guilty as charged when confusing this board as facebook. Said it many times. Same as you are seeking attention for your irrelevant team. What place are you in the current SEC standings?

The same. UK does more with less.

Want a soft ball?

AU hired a guy who had a shady past and is completely satisfied b/c he ended their FF drought.

Kentucky recruits itself. Cal is not bigger than Kentucky. You would have more titles if you upgraded your game day coaching.

.....hmmmm.UK does recruit itself, and yet you've been here saying that 'players have turned down lucrative offers to play there for free.... yeah, rrrrriiiiggght'.... so which is it... UK is clean because it 'recruits itself' or....? Along with looking dumber throughout this thread, you're contradicting yourself as well.

 

[schoonerwest]

They're pretty good but they owe a huge thank you to Alabama and the other SEC football schools for that #19 ranking.

face palm. Kentucky recruits itself due to history and support (sometimes illegal support) from its boosters. I didn’t contradict myself at all. Nice try though

Kentucky hired a guy with two vacated final 4’s and a shady past because they wanted to win titles and go to final 4’s again

Not gonna apologize for being in the SEC, where football is the cash cow. Good to see our football program is rising in the conference as well beyond just being a participant.

You picked up on that. You love soft balls don't you?

Let's just run with this. NCAA implicated Pearl. They said Calipari was "a victim".

Easy, breezy, cover Pearl.

Cal/UK (the combination of the two) recruits itself as well. With ZERO NCAA infractions on Cal's record, in an age where other programs are getting served Notices of Violations from the NCAA, it feels good not having any dark cloud over the UK athletic program.

It is a lot more fun when your football is doing well. Kansas was a borderline top 25 program in the 2000's with one elite season in 2007 so I know what it's like. Just know it can all change VERY quickly though. lol

LOL. Derrick rose haven’t someone else take the SAT for him is on cal’s tecord regardless of what you think but keep living that life of denial dude. Again you think a poor college recruit from say Chicago for example that is being offered a half of million at minimum is opting to go to Kentucky for free? His name is Anthony by the way. So delusional

So it's 500K now and not the 200K the Chicago Sun Times redacted?

You don't know college basketball or college basketball rumors at all. Keep going,I can't wait for th next laugh.

I love new money. It's not even new money it's like an inheritance from a aunt who had 4400 dollars in their sock drawer. All of a sudden, they show up like they're rich. Will disappear when the money is spent.

 

[AuHoosier420]

500k is actually on the cheap end. You live in Memphis for gods sakes and don’t think cAlipari has ever been a part of something shady to get a recruit? Take your fandom out of this for once.

One poster has made this claim and he's senile. What are you talking about?

No proof of this drivel you keep spewing. The only proof that stands is Cal's record w/the NCAA: ZERO INFRACTIONS.

lurker thinks the world revolves around all things Kentucky.

Wait a second, does your logic of "nothing my coach did matters before he got here" only apply to Auburn?

Facts, brah. Auburn has a shadier coach than we do with less results. Has to sting!

According to me it does.

Kansas still has a football program?

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Damn.

 

[schoonerwest]

Kansas is only one of two schools who has a coach in football and basketball who have won a national title.

I'd say we're a pretty big deal.

TBH I like Les. I'm interested to see what he can do with your program.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Honestly, you can't blame the losers for trying.

So delusional. Nothing like Kentucky fans in that regard

 

[ExitFlagger]

What am ignorant about? I am the most honest poster on the board. Deep down you know I am right here as well

WTF does this even mean?

What could possibly make you “more honest” than people you’ve never met and know nothing about?

This should be good.

cal is substantially more shady than Pearl. NCAA just protects its Nike cash cows. See North Carolina for example

 

[schoonerwest]

According to me it does.

I’ve got them ranked 32 out of 50. It’s not bad but it’s not good either. They just beat out Maryland and they’re just behind Oklahoma.

Does being a stoner make you paranoid?

I have no problem with your rankings. I have no problems with anyone' perceptions. I might poke gummy bears, but opinions and sports are hand in hand. I would respond if you said, UK will,for a fact,finish 32nd.

 

[AuHoosier420]

Thr best part is that you actually think you are good at this.

Up there with thinking Memphis is a good place to love. At least 3 your neighbors are planning how they can move to Nashville right now

Delusional.... look in the mirror, champ.

FACT: CAL has ZERO NCAA INFRACTIONS.

 

[JimboBBN]

So you have a weird conspiracy theory and I have facts.

This major violation wasn't Pearl's first run in with the NCAA.

Lets all take a look at how Pearl has been shady is whole career. Enjoy!

[JimboBBN]

For others who have closely followed Pearl’s career for decades, the tears, the smile, the gimmicks all seem like little more than masking agents to distract the public from the fact that the man is a phony, a cheat, and a snitch.

“You can be a cheat or a snitch and still get respect in this sport. Being both makes that a lot harder,” a current Division I assistant coach told SB Nation.

“(Pearl) can get away with it because he’s charming and, you know, a hell of a coach.”
