Just when you thought Calipari couldn't get any worse

UK's Calipari wants SEC tourney moved to fall

Really? He's bitching because his team got a lower seed even though they won the conference tourney last year? This guys is just plain insufferable.

Yes I saw this today. He wants the SEC regular season champ to get the autobid. Interesting idea. I would think that the post season SEC tourney makes a lot more money for his league in terms of TV money than a preseason tourney would but I could be wrong about that. He may not have considered that.

He wants whatever fits his agenda at the moment.

...he goes and does something like this. And TOTALLY REDEEMS HIMSELF!

 

[willie99]

why would anyone ever think Squid couldn't get any worse?

seriously? there are always no lows to be achieved

 

[mauconnfan]

Oh boy there's people waiting to hammer you for stalking the appetizer we know as John Calimari. Big trouble coming

I always love the "but he's a good coach" crowd that comes out of the woodwork when you dare to disparage Calipari or Boheim. Apparently there's no amount of shame too great that they can't be forgiven.

Cal would rather go into the NCAA tournament nice and rested instead of getting beat up in a league tournament. His teams are usually filled with one and dones and perhaps to him getting them ready for the NCAA's is better achieved through practices instead of tournaments . Debatable but the Big Ten used to not have league tournaments at season end and many thought it was an advantage over other teams who did. I think the early season tournament is just a smokescreen; the real motive might be to be well rested and better prepared. Cal cares about Cal and possibly winning the NCAA, even if everyone suffers financially
because of this proposal.

Takes a special coach and a bunch of special players to go through the grind of, say.....5 games in 5 days, and then win the NC to boot! Surely something the Squid could never pull off....

Squid, Squid, Squid
Just go away to your ole Kensucky home
One detestable creature, IMHO

And it takes a special coach to get NBA lottery picks every year and still manage to under-achieve.

Cal hasn't underachieved

Cal hasn't underachieved

I'd have to respectfully disagree with that. Best players in the country year in year out need to win more than one, but that's just me.

Put the sec basketball tournament right in the middle of football season -- to think anyone could actually pay less attention to sec basketball. I'm picturing 20,000 Kentucky fans and a grand total of 12 other fans from the remaining sec schools.

4 final fours and 2 title game appearances in 7 seasons. Sure he wasn't won some years where he should've but it's not easy taking it home in a single elimination tourney. We just somehow make it seem that way haha

Or no one gives a sh_t except the people constantly starting these threads.

And you who constantly follow people who start these threads to call them ridiculous. So funny, 7774 should be on your coattails any 2nd calling everyone stupid. You want "constant" check that mirror.

Not sure why this isn't a story, the coach who held Calhoun as the reason we were "afraid" of UMass and now he's whining about his conference tourney, what's not to talk about. it is college basketball right?

I'm sure the Kentucky fans are thrilled they bow out with great teams deep in the tourney everywhere though right?......against teams they should be better than often too!

 

[Paesano]

See, the problem is that you were awake during the years when the squid was stalking Calhoun with his "they are afraid to play us" crap. I think some of these whiners were crawling on the floor at the time and have no clue what it was like back then, nevermind before Calhoun came to UConn.

Yeah, it must be the age thing, because it's definitely not us having enough intelligence to laugh at what irrational clowns you guys become when it comes to anything John Calipari.

Our team beats his team on a regular basis in the biggest college basketball games possible, yet he's still managed to carve out an enormous space inside your heads.

Can you believe the "intelligence"card was played again by 7774? Highly unusual

Let's be sure to only talk about UConn players and coaches now kids or else you look really stupid and irrational.

It's not talking about only Uconn players and coaches, you could talk about the many, many coaches out there doing shady and ridiculous things. But you don't. Only Cal. He owns you. It's hilarious.

Ok 7774 he "owns" me lol.

Well if that's the case my friend I OWN YOU then. That's much more hilarious, it's easy to get you to come out to play.

Yeah, I guess that would be a good analogy if John Calipari posted on the board and you interacted with him. Or if you were a public figure who didn't post on the board, and I was constantly making posts about you.

Keep trying though, I'm sure you'll eventually stumble upon something that makes sense from a logical perspective.
