I’ve been waiting a long time now to say you were absolutely right all along, I didn’t fully see it until 2020.
I won't lie; I'm hard up on Kentucky basketball. Called for Calipari to be fired early on when I realized he was doing what Calipari does, then new he'd try and ruin us on the way out, which he did. People close to the situation know how it went down, I make no apologies for it. Excellence is to be expected. I wanted the Pope hire as I knew we needed to revamp the Pitino years and get back to Kentucky instead of the NBA persona. I will say because UNC used to be the "place of the pros", I am glad we took that title. It was necessary as all we were missing historically was NBA HOF's and vets, or didn't have enough of them. All in all, I'm okay as long as ALL of the records are upheld, all of them. SEC titles, head-to-head wins, F4's etc. I hated and complained to many that would buy into Calipari's nonsense "SEC title don't matter", "losing a few to Kansas is just a regular season game" etc. Still hate how many wins he allowed kansas to get, totally unacceptable given our history in that game. We had way too many buying into Calipari's nonsense, and it began to turn into the University of Excuses. But other than that, I'm not a problem. Judt won't tolerate dumping all over the accomplishments of the men before us and backing mediocracy, it's far too important for that. Pope was necessary, but if he doesn't get it done, he's gotta go. I think given that recruting is done by payment now and he's got the brand behind him, I see no way he doesn't work. I've gotten older now into my late 30's so it's calmed down, but there's no guarantees.
I've come to find that the ones like me who grew up learning kentucky in the 90's, or the ones who grew up during Rupp, just get what this is supposed to be about a little more. So I guess mods can be necessary for those

He's posted here for years. We call him by his old screen name, crazzed.
He's an utter knob and we all loathe him. We share this in common with you all.
He will disappear for months at a time, and then resurface during game threads long enough to piss people off with his misguided negativity and start arguments, and then he will slither away for weeks at a time until he comes back to repeat the process.
And we fall for it every time, because we suck.Last edited by KCKUKFan; 07-02-2025, 10:08 PM.Comment

JF is alright.
If nothing else, he was on the very limited "Fire Tubby " squad about two year's before it all exploded.
A blind man could see it,his time was done.
Still doesn't mean that Gillespie should have been hired because he beat Rick Pitino in front of a anti Tubby Smith Rupp Arena crowd.
I wanted Donovan from Marshall but two years in experience and a Pitino endorsement of Smith, so the story goes.
Down 17 with 9 to go against Puke, Smith did it that day as good as it's ever been done..
