Around SBN: NFL Roundtable: Which Draft Pick Is Most Likely To Bust?

John Calipari to Kentucky

There's no one I'd rather see take the job because there's no one more loathsome in college basketball. Honestly, this is one of the few sports-related pieces of news that could have brought a smile to my face during this prolonged period of mourning.

Do I think he'll improve the brand of basketball at UK? Totally, but he'll also provide a significant downpour of gasoline on an already blazing rivarly, and that's fine by me.

I'm sure the fine members of Big Blue Nation will take all of this with the proper level of guarded optimism.

This is why you're the King of Bloggers

You always know just what to say.

“Our Savior” – fucking morons. (Except for Tru – he’s straight.)

Now the story is the ‘rivalry’ between their Italian Coach and ours – even to this very day, the blue folks STILL cannot let Rick go. Sad.

Wow.

This rivalry just escalated. I wonder if Pitino is wanting to renegotiate his contract now.

All for beating them by 40 and see them cry at halfcourt

nah, i like a good rivalry

always more fun when both teams are doing well. especially since it’s a one game a year, jam the earth type event

ah, see, i love some uk/ul rivarly

but at most its a month for me. i’m always more concerned about the big east and the uconns, notre dames, and syracuses of the world.

21, so i guess i'm on the young side

not saying i don’t love the game, or that it’s not a huge game, i just have always worried about the conference more.

and i’m actually from wildcat territory down in somerset, you tell me if that explains anything, haha

It's good to see they didn't rush into a decision without interviewing anybody... again.

Cause you know, they were trying to not do that… again.

Also, UK fans have officially gotten some kind of Calipari-fever. Meandering over the “A Sea of Blue” reveals about twenty open threads from the past two days where everyone is convinced they will destroy us by 50 next year and go to the Final Four.

I do so love how these events unfold…

yep-its almost like the clocks have been turned back

two years…remember all the same talk when “our savior” BCG was hired? Oh how they were going to stomp UofL again..

Its no wonder the program is a mess..4 different coaches in the last 12 years? Wonder if that delusional fan base had much to do with it?

I totally forgot about Worldwide Wes. I wonder how that scumbag hanging around Lexington is going to go over with the UK athletic department? This is going to be fun to watch!

He’ll fit in just fine as long as UK is winning

So...

If Billy Gillespie was “Our Savior” in Lexington 2 years ago…does that make John Calipari “Our Rapture”?

Get over it...

by ihateukul on Apr 1, 2009 2:45 PM EDT reply actions
