Mike and Mike: Calipari weighs Kentucky Job

[the1ukfan11]

why go? are you freakin serious? uhm, probably cause he's got the greatest fans in college basketball at UK, we've got the greatest tradition, 7 National Championships, and there's tons more reasons why.. and can you really blame us for runnin Tubby & Gillespie off? i mean really. they were horrible, they didn't deserve to coach at UK.

[ukhistorian]

@the1ukfan11 I think he was unaware of the way he treated the players.

[BigBluemaniac19]

hey rellef67 we got the number one recruiting class for 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 so why dnt u mempuss fuckheads getoff your lil high

[DaGrizz357]

Who tells it for what is and for what it isn't? DaGrizz357...bring ya fuckin guido shine box baby!

[DaGrizz357]

If Kentucky can buy any program it wants then why not buy West Va and Huggs. I knew yall fucked up. How many barrels of whiskey did that cost? Is barrels the unit of measure for whiskey in Kentucky?

[the1ukfan11]

@DaGrizz357 cause, we don't want them.. retard.

[rellef67]

You know whats really funny? Calipari said NOW he can recruit the best of the best. When he left Memphis he TOOK THE #1 recruiting class with him. Ok now fast forward one year. Josh Pastner was Cal's assistant and now Memphis head coach. Now Memphis doesnt get any real credit because they are in CUSA and that conference sucks right? Well just take a look at who has the #1 recruiting class for 2010-2011 ...... MEMPHIS!!!!!!!!!! EAT IT KENSUCKY!!!!!!

[redvsblueownzall]

@rellef67 Oh, so, you're saying.. You'll be good.. next year? Nice. What are you ranked This year?

[rellef67]

U Kensucky fans kill me with this stuff. Yes we will be good next year because we have THE #1 recruiting class in the country. What were u ranked LAST year? Thats what I thought. U brought in a good recruiter and he brought good players. Therefore it made u good THIS year. Memphis has done the same thing with Pastner and we will be good NEXT year. I know we have to break this stuff down slowly for u backwood hillbillies but thats ok.

[rollin92gt]

@rellef67 Can you make a point without the name calling? What's with the stereotypes? Since you are a Memphis fan...I guess it's ok to call you a punk thug then?

[rollin92gt]

@rellef67 Now, it's no surprise that Cal coming to UK he was going to recruit the same type (if not better) players. Why? I don't know, maybe the recruits get to see what it's like at a NC winning school? The huge fan base? The TV time? . Now, as far as Memphis being good next year. A decent coach helps make a team better. *except unc this year. Those 7 Mc'D's players aren't doing so well.

[kentuckyproductions]

eh man look you got a new coach your not gonna be good the fist or second so you will be back just not as quick as you like

[KRaYzEdx]

@rellef67 yeah dumbass now lets see were memphis' head coach takes them to oh yeah they will still suck!!!!!! just because u have the #1 recruiting class doesn't mean that u will do anything!!!!! u all after the 1st 4 weeks will not be ranked

[slimmyj]

@rellef67

ummm. not anymore. sorry memphis.

[bagh76]

@rellef67 Your wrong kentucky has the #1 recruiting class for 2010-2011 and they will the #1 class for 2011.

[shreklord]

@rellef67 I'm pretty sure Kentucky got the #1 recruiting class there.

[jwslasher]

@rellef67  Actually Kentucky has the #1 recruiting class. nice try though.

[the1ukfan11]

@rellef67 okay, it's the 2010-2011 season now, and look who's got the #1 recruiting class. 2 years in a row, make that 3 next year :)

[moparful99]

@rellef67 Are you stupid? Uk had the #1 recruiting class for 10-11 and made it to the sweet 16 first year out with one of the best records in the ncaa, now this year we win back to back sec titles, 4th seed going into the tournament and we already have the #1 recruiting class for 11-12... Go climb back under your rock please...

[truNGiiesofly]

@rellef67 Lmao. Such a blind hater. Rofl hahahaha

[madbengalsfan85]

Gillispie lost to VMI and Gardner-Webb...of course we ran him out of town

[TheCatFan21]

There's is a lot of things I can put up with but when Mike Greenberg talks about Kentucky sports it is never good, he is just an ass.

[jprickett04]

The frustrating part is that if we don't win EVERY SINGLE GAME and the NCAA, we have to listen to ESPN say that we're overrated and that NC or DUKE is the team...I hate ESPN and that that is our only source for sports.

[ufhater21]

2:18 who the hell compares themself to rupp in these days, its just about contending and competing at UK how come nobody else outside BBN gets it? we just want to compete we dont demand anything, plus the 9 years after tubby won we never went back was the longest time in school history w/o a FF, and still counting!!!

[MrWildbillhiccups]

"I'm not from kentucky...ok.... but,,, I understand the passion for kentucky basketball......" What a Dumb@ss .....ask Billie or Tubby about passion....... railrider, turn on ESPN next march.

[MrWildbillhiccups]

Everyone seems to be real upset about this..... it was hiped up.... for a reason. The Pitino/Calipari era will be a great point in the rivalry.. everyone knows it, including the people who write the checks. There were some great points here,,,, the biggest being the memphis conference................. what conference again????? This is the SEC. Fact is, Calipari is now the nations best recruiter,,, behind a legendary school in college basketball............ and this is year 1.

[vitalsign77]

[killacam826]

END OF DISCUSSION

[ajwexner]

let me tell u somthin memphis, i am a HUGE tiger fan. This would be devestating if he went to kentucky. However, he is the worst coach i have ever seen!!! He blew the championship game and fukd this year too. he is an unbeleivable recruiter, thats it. he knows it too. the only reason why people play for him is because of his compassion and caring for them to be the best players and people they can be. what he needs to do is review his xs and os and not care about some dumb cunt basketball in ken

[gunloc26]

Hey ajwexner, I got a BIG BLUE KY ASS YOU CAN KISS!!! You're a FREAKING MORON if you think Calipari is a bad coach...oh wait...YOU ARE a FREAKING MORON...sorry about that...I hate picking on the mentally challenged.

Better luck next year without that terrible coach Cal, especially when Memphis is sweating it out, hoping they can win the C-USA tournament so they can get the automatic bid to the big dance...the fun times at Memphis are over!!! Back to being irrevelant in the B-BALL world!!!

[DiabSinca42431]

We are back uk fans...fuck memphis, fuck unc, fuck duke fuck kansas...NO ONE holds a candle to our record at UK, Seven national championships ? no one even comes close..we are back mother fuckers

[ixcuincle]

GOOD LUCK CALIPARI

[UglyMuggFilms]

you call kentucky BIG BLUE? memphis is big blue ok? kentucky didnt eveen make the tourny and yall say big blue? coach cal will stay justin timberlake made a statement saying he will pay over 10mil for another year!

[gunloc26]

Well Timberlake better get that checkbook ready, ESPN has just reported UK and Calipari are very close to reaching a deal that would make him the highest paid coach in college basketball, in excess of $5 million.

[condog1983]

uglymugg.quit hatin on uk.you oviously should check the credentials of a team before you start bashing them.winningiest team in the history of the ncaa.gimme a break uk WILL be way more of a powerhouse then mephis could ever dream of.when you add the recruiting of coach cal with the heritage of uk basketball.....watch out its gonna be a well tuned monster of a program buddy!

[gunloc26]

(AP/WHAS11) - WHAS11 News has learned that Memphis coach, John Calipari, has decided to take the offer to be the new University of Kentucky basketball coach.

[RockingMagnet]

uhh Kentucky is the 2nd oldest university in the nation of basketball ok they r big blue! they created big blue learn ur history!

[gunloc26]

Awesome news!!! As a coach, Cal is very under aprreciated by his piers because of the overall weakness of C-USA. I think Cal, being a very competitive individual, will relish the competition that the SEC will offer. And YES, I know the SEC had a very down yr. But the league was by far the youngest league out there. Young talent everywhere. It will be one of the top 3 conferences next yr, know doubt!!!

[gunloc26]

Just look at UK, FLA, TENN, VANDY, teams are mostly made up of underclassman. FLA with only one senior starter this past yr. UK, TENN, VANDY, had ZERO!!! With gaining experience and some growing pains, the SEC EAST will become the best division in college basketball next yr. Absolutely loaded!!!

[redvsblueownzall]

This is very true.

[the1ukfan11]

@gunloc26 the SEC is already the best!

[LBjim]

Cal is gone to UK. I love Coach Cal but hate UK..so I am torn..LOL!!!

[gb7c1]

I really hope he takes this job :) Go Big Blue
