With less than two weeks to go before college basketball teams throughout the country begin practicing, the sometimes subtle, sometimes blatant war of words between Kentucky's John Calipari and Louisville's Rick Pitino is back in the news.
This time it's Calipari on the offensive. The Big Blue Nation leader launched the latest barb during an interview with KSTV's Matt Jones while in the middle of paying a visit to the Kentucky fans camping out for tickets to UK's Big Blue Madness event on Oct. 14.
Among other things, Calipari noted that part of what makes Kentucky basketball great is that it's the only real program in the state.
"It's a unique thing," Calipari said. "There's no other state, none, that's as connected to their basketball program as this one. Because those other states have other programs. Michigan has Michigan State, California has UCLA, North Carolina has Duke. It's Kentucky throughout this whole state, and that's what makes us unique."
Louisville, according to the most recent "L" edition of the World Book Encyclopedia, resides within the borders of the state of Kentucky.

Cal is the most arrogant asshole on the planet.
I hope Pitino can shove those words up his ass.

Rivaled only by the man interviewing him
I know I hate UK and that probably factors into this, but everytime I hear Matt Jones talk, or read his words, or even look at a picture of him, I cannot help but wonder if there is a more perfect embodiment of the word “prick” in the entire world. All he needs is a popped collar and rich parents

LOL.
Lack of education has always been something the UK fan base has been known for. We can now add the subject of Geography to those that they have failed.
Well Done Cal.
Now, UK coaches
will also be known for lack of education.

You're Right!
But they should know where we are! We’re just the place that pays for the rest of the state to exist!
I really hope we give him a geography lesson on December 31st.
He really is the king of all fanbase pandering isn’t he? He knows exactly what dumb UK fans want to hear.
As much as he is an ass clown, he really is smart
Everything he says is calculated. For the fan base that is now crossing out “Jesus” in their bibles and writing in “Cal”, this is the perfect thing to say. Anything to boost the one thing that their entire life is dedicated to: Kenucky basketball. There are probably 100,000 UK fans who, although they wouldn’t openly admit it, would give up ever seeing their grandmother ever again in exchange for a national title and an excuse to buy a new wardrobe of obnoxious t-shirts

have you seen...
the yUK t-shirt at Kroger???? It reads:
The University of Kentucky
Everybody wants to be us…..
How’s that for arrogance? I guess everybody wants to be 2-2 in FB too….they are disgusting as a fan base and Cal is a perfect fit.
Everybody wants to
have skinned knees and be run over by an electric wheelchair? Yeah…I envy that

Calipari Logic:
“The New York Mets are a unique team, in that that there is no other baseball team in New York that people root for.”
He's just mad
He came up short again in the LCPT and is trying to win it this year.
#TransferChickenToTheBucket.
For fucks sakes
I want the LVL staff to start planning for the U of L UK game NOW… I want a win this year even if it means some poor assistant has to die in order to get it…
Beat UK or im gonna go postal
Everytime I see
Matt Jones on ICN2 and Cal on whatever channel spouting their idiocy I just replace it in my mind with a talking Summers Eve box, the extra cleansing kind..
I think I'm going to start wearing UofL gear around town.
First, around UK’s campus. Then Christ the King. Then downtown near Rupp.
dont go
to the Hamburg Wal-Mart. When I lived there I wore a UofL shirt in and the stupid greeter was like ’ma’am the UK shirts are over there’ Its one of the rare times I’ve flipped off an elderly person
Got a frat bro who moved to Memphis
And even though he is a big Memphis fan he hates Cal. Why? Because Cal kept hitting on Bruce’s wife even though Cal knew she was married. Ah, such class.
He didn't sleep with her in a restaurant even though he was married, did he?
Just saying… we can’t throw stones about marriage/relationships.
He's a real life troll
Tolls thrive on attention. Ignoring him and this obvious trolls would be best. He seems like an angry person. Very petty.
The man knows what to say to get the support of his fan base.
Cal might be the first UK coach in my life time that I actually dislike. Normally it’s only the fans I dislike, but he’s made the jump. He’s a cheat with no respect. And I LOVE throwing quotes from UK fans saying the same thing, especially when they are hanging all over his nutsack.
When it comes to denying things they know to be true
No one is quite like Cal
I can't even be mad...it's hilarious
There are a lot of things wrong with Cal, but he’s got a sense of humor. I’ll give him that. I bet we beat them this year.
e
What a fuckin piece of shit!
I hope he cries for his momma on national tv when we spank his ass this year.
Who do you fault in a monarchy?
The King or the Jester?

Rick said it best...
A few years ago when Cal was still at Memphis, “John Calipari is like one of those dolls with the string in his back, you pull it and the same shit comes out of his mouth!” Well said Rick!

I have noting to say
Some people are beneath contempt, not worth the energy to hate.
"...and the present, for us, is something that we really look forward to."
- Rick Pitino
He endears himself to his fans at the risk of hate from others.
He knows he can just do a fundraiser and tweet about how great he is later.
Stout Out!
The more Calipari runs his mouth
The bigger the smile we’ll all have when karma catches up to him.

Dear Louisville Fans,
Fuck him (Calipari) and everything he represents! I’ve always consider us Louisville, USA anyway..I personally don’t mind the separation from those overall wearing,relative screwing,3rd grade alumni graduating, animal worshipping, tobacco spitting,one main street in ya city living,old ass arena playing,no money making university having,ignorant attention span owning,80% of ya fan base being racist rooting,dance stealing,agent on the campus having, paying all ya players sponsoring,camp out for 3 days without washing ya ass and proud of it type of bastards down the road! LOUISVILLE IS WELL KNOWN! Just as soon as they catch up with him and relinquish his records at pussy cat country he will move on and talk bad about UK as well. I’m sure he has a ton of material!!! …lol..he’s irrelevant to us! Plus I’m gone need them to start adding and subtracting wins and losses correctly before they throw celebrations for feats not accomplished yet lmaoooooooooooooOooo…poor bastards! Signing off
Best wishes,
Die Hard Card
Obligatory.......
Lot of butthurt flowing within CC yesterday/today.
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. -- Colonel Jessup
I guess this would be relevant, if anyone in the basketball world (other coaches, media outside of Lexington) respected Calipari.
But they don’t and you all are the only one’s listening. It’s like dangling keys over a baby, the baby loses his fucking mind with fun and laughter because a baby is dumb. UK fans are the baby, Cal is the key dangler. The difference is that the baby may grow up and be intelligent and enjoy past times other than key dangling someday. You will not.

Every time I look at the UK fanbase...
toothless from years of meth abuse, surrounded by their 14 children on the front porch of their trailer, I think to myself… “Maybe Louisville NOT being in Kentucky is a good thing.”
all of us who own businesses, graduated from college, have honor student children and pay our own way
know that it is………
I am now and shall forever be the Cat in The Hat, The Artist Formerly Known As ABC!!!

I CAN SEE IT NOW...
Well, Cal gave the rednecks a new T-shirt phrase. I’m sure it will be for sale at the Neutral Zone by the weekend, if not already.
