[626productions]

[101airborne07]

That show is dumb it dosent matter if they are talking about Kentucky...Skip talks out of his ass on every topic

[hbg143]

Coach Cal not a great coach? Coach Cal wins Coach of the Year. Great insight Skip! So-so SEC? Big 12 and SEC still have most teams in the Elite 8 with two each. Great analysis Skip! Way to hedge yours bets Skip! Not a good coach, but ..if he assembles the talent. Kentucky will win games, but ..the SEC is so-so. You can't be wrong if you don't pick a side. What's with bad mouthing everyone? You're so anti-Calipari that you get on Bow Wow when he tries to speak. You don't hide your bias well.

[hbg143]

Skip: "I have never said this man is a great basketball coach, because I don't think he is." Response: Great job Coach on being named the National Coach of the Year.

Yeah..Patrick Patterson is "pretty good" Skip.

[ukhistorian]

Skip is a pathetic moron.

[hardrocker1]

skip bayless what a joke. he is the ONLY reason i do not watch this pitiful show...

[rollin92gt]

@hardrocker1 AGREE 110%.

[charbear95]

I love coach Cal!

[Stevek1m23]

John Calipari is not a great coach? Whoever makes that comment's birth was a mistake. Period.

[pppjjjaaayyy]

i wish soldier boy would kiss me through the phone

[msmoberly]

bow wow dont no shit what a fuckin joke

[sooperheroguy]

Good. Now I'll be able to sleep better at night knowing Bow wow's opinion on the matter. LMAO.

[kyhuntter]

skip bayless is clueless about college basketball and so is bow wow they need to go and look at all the resources that uk has and with coach cal its scary what they can do skip said we dont have a pg we have the best backcourt in the country and he said patterson is pretty good hes awesome espn sucks always has

[wildcatjack10]

know

[wildcatjack10]

they don't much about college basketball

[nateman79]

i cant believe bow wow gets to on espn about kentucky basketball. makes me wanna puke. bow wow stick to shit hop. let the experts give their analysis.

[ukhistorian]

He's a Duke fan. I prefer better rappers then him.

[ukhistorian]

Skip does not know basketball. Cal is a great coach but I hope he's right bout Final Four next year.

[kycats06]

Parker is a complete DUMBASS and we have it on tape to prove it!

LOL!

[2kittle]

wtf does bow wow know? and we uk fans dont care if we dont win one, but the fact tht were back on top, winning important games. we just want to be elite again

[nateman79]

parker youre a dumb ass too.

[nateman79]

SKIP BAYLESS YOU ARE SUCH A RETARD!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYTHING YOU SAY IS WRONG. how the hell did you get a job in sports analysis??????? youre the only analyst that i always disagree with.

[redvsblueownzall]

I don't doubt it. Go cats.

[potyjodiemeeks09]

Ya so tubby did win an NC, 9 YEARS BEFORE HE WAS FIRED. He was good then, but after that we didnt want him anymore. People dont understand that the game changes over time and though it probably doesnt change much over nine years, it still changed enough to take him from a national title coach to a 1st or 2nd round loss coach

[ukhistorian]

He was not fired.

[kyhuntter]

everybody keeps talking about tubby smith winning a national title and we ran him off tubby won a title with pitino recruits you saw what happened after that tubby went down hill yea he recruited a couple of great players who play in the nba today but he cant recruit like coach cal he cant coach like coach cal can uk basketball is going back on top wether people like it or not I cant wait until next season and beyond GO BIG BLUE

[redvsblueownzall]

Tubby not only won a title with Pitino's players, but he won it with Pitino's Bench, not his starting lineup since they left.

[oak91td]

why the fuck is bow wow providing sports analysis?

[redvsblueownzall]

No idea.

[oak91td]

oh well. cats number one!

[redvsblueownzall]

Hehe. o.O

[nateman79]

arghh i cant get over these idiots. tubby smith brought a new philosophy to kentucky and won it one year. yeah yeah yeah it was pitinos players. but it was a fairly mediocre bball team in 98. i dare say pitino wouldnt have gotten anywhere near the title if he'd stayed. so props to tubby on that. proves how good a coach he is. he just cant recruit. so cal may not have a title next year but id put my money on em bein top 5

[redvsblueownzall]

It wasn't only Pitino's players, it was Pitino's BENCH from 96. That's what amazes me, our bench from 96 was better than most team's starting lineup. I don't know man.. I think Pitino would have gotten the title. Although props to Tubby for not screwing up the first year, but it'd be pretty easy for anybody to win with that team. I respect Smith, and I wanted him to stick around, but I think a massive part of the 1998 championship was because of Pitino's players, and only a little bit of Smith..

[nateman79]

good points...pitino spoiled us so bad...i remember kentucky was 22-3 at one point i think in 98 and i was so pissed....we lost to ole miss and i wanted his head on a plate. but he also gave me my favorite kenucky memory of all time. the 98 regional final agains duke...PLEASE SOMEONE POST THE LAST 10 MINUTES OF THAT GAME. down by 17 with 9:32 remaining....tears of joy that day my friend

[redvsblueownzall]

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'll try to find the last 10 mins, but I doubt I'll be able to.. i'll try though

[redvsblueownzall]

I couldn't find the last 10 minutes, but the last 2 and a half minutes are on youtube, that's the best I could find.

[nateman79]

and anyone that says tubby was fired because he was black is absolutely retarded. i live in kentucky and i love kentucky. kentucky fans liked tubby smith, but he COULD NOT RECRUIT. the ONE time he went after mcdonalds all americans it was a disaster a.k.a rajon rondo. rondo single handedly ripped that program apart. fact is tubby left on his own. kentucky fans had only problem with him and that was his recruiting. you retards looking for a reason to cry racism are the real racists.

[nateman79]

skip bayless YOU ARE A FREAKIN IDIOT! you are the only analyst that is wrong MOST of the time. you almost had this right but ya still fucked it up.. and Rob parker you went to school on the short bus. and why the hell is bow wow analyzing anything? me personally if i got invited on a show like this id have enough class to at least have my hat on straight. GO BIG BLUE

[whodey7310]

we wanted tubby out because of the bad recruiting the last 3-4 years.. he passed tyler hansbrough, corey brewer, kevin durrant, loften!!

[jcaudill6921]

Its amazing how black people view Kentucky and the Tubby situation. They're misinformed and believed that Tubby was fired which IS A LIE! He left on his own and his agent was already in talks with Minnesota as early as December of 06.

[redvsblueownzall]

He didn't exactly leave on his own, we forced him out, and made him leave so his record wouldn't be hurt by being fired. If Tubby would have refused, he would have been fired. He left because things weren't going well, too much pressure, and fans were turning on him.

[ukhistorian]

I knew a black UK fan that wanted Tubby gone.

[redvsblueownzall]

I don't think it had anything to do with race at all. People just got impatient waiting for a national championship, so they ran him out.

[ukhistorian]

I know. I'm just proving a point. But yeah. And I think Cal will do GREAT!!!

[redvsblueownzall]

Alright. And yeah, if Meeks decides to come back out of The Draft, he'll do better than great. :)

[kevman432]

hahaha its so funny how they say 1 win for tubby wasnt enough lol he had pitio's guys u moron none of these guys know what they are saying i say it takes min 1 year because its a transition year year two will be the start of a good team

[redvsblueownzall]

True. Tubby wasn't a bad coach, 26-27 average wins isn't bad, but Kentucky needs great, not good. But I bet if we knew what mess Gillispie would bring, we wouldn't have run Tubby out of town. But who cares - We have Calipari now :)

[88Cock]

He can definitely recruit. Hard to say how well he'll do. He'll definitely improve KY. Not sure they can get on the same level as UNC though. Per the video here he only played for all the marbles once. And he didn't win it. KY fans will eat him alive if he doesn't win a nat'l title in the first 4-5 years.

[Koronos1987]

ugh ... we aren't pushing the envelope with Coach Cal, we know we will be better off with him in the long run than any other coach in america. Stop giving us a bad name, tubbys championship was with ricks team, after that, tubby did NOTHING

[redvsblueownzall]

Yeah, I totally agree.

[jumper86]

Very well said.
