I don't like Calipari, I don't like Kentucky and I root against them when I see them play. I'm glad he evidently sucks at coaching in the tournament and hope it continues... Other than that I pay them no mind 1 Quote

I don't really follow Kentucky basketball but my impression of him is he does not take the 1st round games seriously. Like Doug Edert with St. Peter's that went wild on them a couple years ago in the 1st round. Ditto that Golhke kid last night. That was some 3 point display. He doesn't have scouts help him game plan for these smaller schools/players he's not familiar with? I mean from my computer that's my impression of that program.. Quote
JPPT1974 Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Wow KY going down as they were #3 ranked! Anything can and will happen. Expect the unexpected. 1 Quote
Low Positive Posted March 23 Posted March 23 I always say that if a foreign person wanted to understand the American South, a listen to the Paul Finebaum show or Cats Call-In on KY Sports radio would do it. If you think the press were tough, wait until Cal has to field calls from Dale from Winchester on Tuesday. Quote
Simon Posted March 23 Posted March 23 I've got a funny John Calipari story but can't remember if I've told it; apologies if it's a repeat: He's from Western PA, not too distant from me and played ball at Clarion U, also not too far from me. One of my best friends was a student there at the same time and lived with a few guys in a rental where Calipari was a property manager for the landlord. One day Calipari comes by the property for something, thought he was a BMOC and started running his snotty little yap about the music being loud. My buddy literally threw him out a window. 2 Quote

I was basically agreeing with you and just felt a little bit insulted. I wasn't mad about it, I should have put a smiley face next to my wiseass comment.😄 Quote
Turk71 Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Kansas Zaga Good 1st half, this game looks like it will go down to the wire. Quote

Looking forward to this. You can repeat that story every year😁 Sorry to hear about the sciatica. I had a tinge of it years ago, and I sure was happy when it faded away! On another note, I think @Simon not only “can” repeat the Calipari story, but it should become a TBD Tradition to kick of the NCAA Tournament. Like the Night Before Christmas. Not quite the scale of the home opener tailgate, but still, a fine opportunity for a new tradition. Calipari deserves it, he’s that special. 1 Quote

It's been years since I've had the sciatica this bad. I've been building a new shed in the yard for the wife in the cold damp weather and all that's left is to shingle the roof. Unfortunately I can barely stand right now. A couple days of watching bball is just what I need. Quote

A couple days of watching bball is just what I need. The NCAA Tournament was invented as a National Holiday weekend for vasectomies and sciatica recovery. Frozen pea sales spike every year! This is an investment opportunity, I can feel it in my bones. Mortimer!!! 2 Quote
Turk71 Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Kansas almost losing to Samford was no fluke, Zaga pulling away up by 20. Kansas was just overrated. Quote
muppy Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Kansas goes belly up. Well to the victor gets the spoils. NCAA tournament is great fun to watch in any case Quote
