Hey, national media and AP voters. Remember when Cal, not UK, was supposedly the brand? Remember when you ranked Arkansas above Kentucky to start the season? Where are you now?
When Kentucky Fans tried to warn them, Arkansas fans just implied they were jealous,and couldn't move on... "Cal lives in your heads Rent Free" was a popular comment I would see on the Arkansas Fan Pages. Did Hogs Fans forget that Calipari left Kentucky because fans were ready to show up on his lawn with torches and pitchforks? 🤔
Hoped that when Cal left that there would be some introspection on how he goes about coaching. He even said as much...I am BBN, but one grateful for what Cal brought. I think at this point in his career, the game has passed him by.
Arkansas fans are starting to realize the UK fans aren’t as bad as people told them they were. We weren’t trying to be all mean when we tried to tell them Cal lost his fastball and he’s not the same coach.
I had hoped that leaving the Cats would re-energize Cal. We were fed up with him, but I didn't want to see this happen to him. It just seems like he is going thru the motions at this point. Where did he just lose that competitive fire?
He does seem jaded. Clearly wasn’t enthused leaving Kentucky for Arkansas but the guy HAS to evolve somehow. Maybe he doesn’t think he can or maybe it’s ego but it needs to change.
i remember back in the early to mid 90's when umass and kentucky would play, cal was always full of energy and was considered one of the great up and coming coaches in the country. seeing him on the way down isn't fun to watch. i'll admit that i've trolled hog fans this year but its like kicking a sick dog. maybe he should go to a mid major so he can win a few more before he hangs it up. either way, GO BIG BLUE!!!
Tbh he just doesn't try anymore. At uk he had undergrads watch film and then tell him what to do. He makes 8mil base salary and can't be bothered to watch an sec game?
@@hmiller1128absolutely. we got our fun in, uk fans should leave him alone. we LOVED calipari for years and its no fun watching him struggle this bad.
@@jimmyjames6882i don’t know. the crowd will tell it all on February 1st. i think it’ll be split. but the students and some recent young alumni will NOT root for him.
@@GoatedAtNFS yeah they'll boo the hell out of him i'm almost positive of that but lets do that feb 1st instead of after every loss he has this year. bbn has more class than that.
The roster is by far capable of being a tournament team. It's the Calipari effect though. He's not good as a head coach. Master recruiter but not a coach. Every year he has one of the best teams in the country on paper, but has what 1 title to his name in 40+ years of coaching. Kentucky found this out eventually, moved on, and they are in better position for it.
Everybody talks about Calipari being a great recruiter but he just isn't. A great college recruiter is one that puts together a cohesive team. Calipari is great at collecting shiny parts and he just doesn't care how they fit together. His goal is NBA and what his employer wants just doesn't seem to matter to him.
Cal, you don’t have to win every game but you can’t lose them all! For those that feel bad for Cal, that’s all good but I find it hard to feel sorry for a man that was short with media, who blamed his players constantly, and who threw jabs at the Kentucky fans, and who made 8 MILLION a year to be bad! Only people I feel bad for are the Arkansas fans that have to endure what UK did for the last several years. Maybe y’all should tell Tyson to stay in his lane!
They needed more GOOO!!! I told the Hogs TROLLS before the season started that they would not make the tournament. How many NBA players are on his current roster? How many does he need to win a conference game?
"they're all individually good players. collectively, it just doesn't look like it fits" bingo. Many Kentucky fans have been screaming this from the heavens the past five years, but were denigrated by many in national media, dismissed as being overly passionate, delusional or uninformed. They bought into the idea of what Cal was and not what he is now. He's not Coach K, he's not Dean Smith, Roy Williams, Bobby Knight etc. We're seeing this unfold now. Cal is stubborn, doesn't make adjustment, coaches his team like it's 2013, not 2025. We never cared about guys going to the league, we just want to win. Cal is not a winner and doesn't have a winning mentality. Every day, BBN thanks god for the Arkansas Razorbacks for helping us restore faith in our state's flagship program. Good luck to you all
It's OK. Hog fans will become just like UK fans quickly........ "bUt hE hAs 250 lOtTeRy pIcKs!" Congrats on stacking draft picks in the next 5 years cuz you ain't stacking wins with your Used Car Salesman of a coach.
Cal will still find a way to win some big games in the sec, he always does. Not sure they will make the tournament but they will win some games you won’t expect them to.
Go back and watch KY teams from the Final Four era and those guys played their butts off on defense. They were talented sure but they played defense so much better than the modern Kentucky/AR teams. Cal needs to clean house with his assistants and get some hungry young assistants.
Adou( probably spelled wrong) looks COMPLETELY different then when he was at Tennessee. Is that coming off injury or Cal coaching? At lot of times they look a little confused to me.
Exactly, those FIVE years were terrible and Cal didn’t change anything after getting the same result but the ten years before that weee pretty amazing.
What was that you said Cal? Players win games and Administrations win championships? Who are you going to blame now for being an overrated has-been loser? What a masterful job Pope has done. Coach of the year.
KY players under Cal could "guard their asses off" ? Really?. Ky under Cal was always an offensive monster that played games in the 80's and 90's. Defense was really never Cal's thing. Neither was winning since the 2015 team lost in the FF to Wisky. Face it folks. Having the #1 or #2 recruiting class year in and year out seldom got Cal and KY much of anything cause he was one hell of a salesman for KY basketball while being far less than brilliant as an in game coach when crunch time came around. AR is now finding out those facts the hard way.
The last five years were abysmal but the stretch from 09-19 was pretty amazing. Most teams would’ve traded their seasons for that. The 15 team was an incredible defensive team and his ones prior to that were pretty good. Everyone think of the last five years at UK with Cal but that wasn’t representative of the overall product.
Ha finally someone mentioning kp there. Why anyone would hire this man to be anywhere near a college bball team is beyond me. Even Cal. The man has just shown everyone that he is literally the worst college bball coach in history. Not even an exageration. The fact Cal brought him in is baffling enough but u wpuld be surprised if this implosion doesn't have something to do with him as well
Facts he was only worried about cal! The reason he left he was so afraid of getting booed in his own house !! That never happened but we were at that point ! If he was still here we woulda booed him outa town and he ain’t wanna go through that
Now everyone is seeing that UK made cal. Not the other way around. He didn’t do anything before and won’t do anything after Uk. Some would argue he didn’t do anything while at Uk. All those players and only 1 ring? Surely not lol😂
Worse. They flat out disappeared. They led 50-43 with about 13 1/2 minutes left, then proceeded to give up a 23-7 run in less than 9 minutes to find themselves down 57-66.
Man they are not good and have nothing to play for and that makes me absolutely freaking scared for when they come to Lexington. Please God let us win that game. We are so much better. But there is nothing more scary than a desperate team with nothing to play for. Absolutely shaking in my boots.
Hey, national media and AP voters.
Remember when Cal, not UK, was supposedly the brand? Remember when you ranked Arkansas above Kentucky to start the season?
Where are you now?
hiding in their woodsheds
Arkansas trolls were so annoying they deserve this. Talking about "Cal was the brand, Kentucky won't do anything after he leaves" 😂😂😂
Not just them - national media and the AP poll voters, too. They ranked Arkansas above Kentucky with that in mind.
When Kentucky Fans tried to warn them, Arkansas fans just implied they were jealous,and couldn't move on...
"Cal lives in your heads Rent Free" was a popular comment I would see on the Arkansas Fan Pages.
Did Hogs Fans forget that Calipari left Kentucky because fans were ready to show up on his lawn with torches and pitchforks? 🤔

Happy to see Tyson waste his money!
If Cal takes this as a wakeup call, he can still change. It's possible. But don't hold your breath waiting.
Arkansas fans are starting to realize the UK fans aren’t as bad as people told them they were. We weren’t trying to be all mean when we tried to tell them Cal lost his fastball and he’s not the same coach.
And got Mizzou Coming up on the road. Goodluck!
They might be hungover after the Florida win
Cal just needs to retire already!!
I don't know what the heck he has done to big Z but he needs to come back to Lexington. Dude would thrive
I had hoped that leaving the Cats would re-energize Cal. We were fed up with him, but I didn't want to see this happen to him. It just seems like he is going thru the motions at this point. Where did he just lose that competitive fire?
He does seem jaded. Clearly wasn’t enthused leaving Kentucky for Arkansas but the guy HAS to evolve somehow. Maybe he doesn’t think he can or maybe it’s ego but it needs to change.
It's sad seeing him like this as well. Just a empty shell of himself. You can see it in his face that he's not happy being the coach of arkansas.
He'll be 66 in a few weeks.
i remember back in the early to mid 90's when umass and kentucky would play, cal was always full of energy and was considered one of the great up and coming coaches in the country. seeing him on the way down isn't fun to watch. i'll admit that i've trolled hog fans this year but its like kicking a sick dog. maybe he should go to a mid major so he can win a few more before he hangs it up. either way, GO BIG BLUE!!!
Tbh he just doesn't try anymore. At uk he had undergrads watch film and then tell him what to do. He makes 8mil base salary and can't be bothered to watch an sec game?
Again, I said this from the day it was announced.... THANK YOU ARKANSAS!!!!!!!
As a real ky fan..sthu...the point has been made. No 1 wants to see cal do this bad.
@@hmiller1128absolutely. we got our fun in, uk fans should leave him alone. we LOVED calipari for years and its no fun watching him struggle this bad.

Cal never adjusted. He all about building relationships and getting players to the league. He don’t care about winning anymore.
The roster is by far capable of being a tournament team. It's the Calipari effect though. He's not good as a head coach. Master recruiter but not a coach. Every year he has one of the best teams in the country on paper, but has what 1 title to his name in 40+ years of coaching.

Welcome to what we've said since 2020 Cal has lost his fastball but he gets recruits.😮
Everybody talks about Calipari being a great recruiter but he just isn't. A great college recruiter is one that puts together a cohesive team. Calipari is great at collecting shiny parts and he just doesn't care how they fit together. His goal is NBA and what his employer wants just doesn't seem to matter to him.
Cal is a great recruiter. The problem is he's recruiting for the NBA instead of the college that pays him.
“You don’t gotta make every shot, but you can’t miss them all…” such sage wisdom from Coach Cal.
Cal, you don’t have to win every game but you can’t lose them all! For those that feel bad for Cal, that’s all good but I find it hard to feel sorry for a man that was short with media, who blamed his players constantly, and who threw jabs at the Kentucky fans, and who made 8 MILLION a year to be bad! Only people I feel bad for are the Arkansas fans that have to endure what UK did for the last several years. Maybe y’all should tell Tyson to stay in his lane!
Get ready for the tweak!!!
They needed more GOOO!!! I told the Hogs TROLLS before the season started that they would not make the tournament. How many NBA players are on his current roster? How many does he need to win a conference game?
Exactly. It's one thing to get a ton of talent on the court. It's another thing altogether to get that talent to mesh as a team.
built for March
Can we get more st John's content
Could you imagine Fland on this Kentucky team.
Ya he’s problem thinking -boy I made a mistake ….
I love it 😂😂. Calipari. You actually gotta call plays lmao.
"they're all individually good players. collectively, it just doesn't look like it fits" bingo.

Arkansas on the no bet list from here on out
Just bet against them. Easy money.
As an Arkansas fan I can say the good news is we won’t have to worry about Cal going One and done in the tournament this year.
It's OK. Hog fans will become just like UK fans quickly........
"bUt hE hAs 250 lOtTeRy pIcKs!"
Congrats on stacking draft picks in the next 5 years cuz you ain't stacking wins with your Used Car Salesman of a coach.
Cal will still find a way to win some big games in the sec, he always does. Not sure they will make the tournament but they will win some games you won’t expect them to.
Could Ark's dismal year scare away future recruits? Bad times to come.
Go back and watch KY teams from the Final Four era and those guys played their butts off on defense. They were talented sure but they played defense so much better than the modern Kentucky/AR teams. Cal needs to clean house with his assistants and get some hungry young assistants.
Adou( probably spelled wrong) looks COMPLETELY different then when he was at Tennessee. Is that coming off injury or Cal coaching? At lot of times they look a little confused to me.
Its funny to me how Arkansas fans acted like they knew cal better than the fans that had him for 15 years.
Ark going to NIT !! 😮 .. feb 1st going be a bad 1 😂 cant wait for kentucky kick them bad 😊 BBN
You think? I figure they’ll be going to their living room come March… NIT would be a stretch goal at this point
Looks like Kentucky the last 6 years. What's the common denominator???👀
I get what you're saying but 6 years ago is 2019. 2019 and 2020 teams weren't that bad.
Exactly, those FIVE years were terrible and Cal didn’t change anything after getting the same result but the ten years before that weee pretty amazing.
Wait till you see the class i have next year HA HA HA HA @Calipari
Cal is a great recruiter....... thats the post
Did you see the game ? Referees call way to many on the hogs the LSU were far worst and not make calls on them and I thought this wasn't fair
kentucky jersey was more important than cal was as a coach lol
As a Kentucky fan its funny how all those Arkansas fans was talking all that shit where ya'll at now 😂😂😂😂
Hahahaha. Wait, hahahaha. WE TOLD YOU!!!!!😂😂😂
Arkansas needs to turn it around or they are NIT bound.
What was that you said Cal? Players win games and Administrations win championships? Who are you going to blame now for being an overrated has-been loser? What a masterful job Pope has done. Coach of the year.
Seasons still early. But if it keeps going the way it is then *vomits a little* he could be.
Ouch

I wonder how long until Arkansas fans and boosters are fed up. I doubt he'll be there 5-6 years.
Chickenman wants to give Cal Lift time contract LOL ty ty ty ty ty step down Cal Let Kenny take over you can Blame Him!!!
Ha finally someone mentioning kp there. Why anyone would hire this man to be anywhere near a college bball team is beyond me. Even Cal. The man has just shown everyone that he is literally the worst college bball coach in history. Not even an exageration.

Cal has never proven to be a good coach outside of recruiting.
As a ky fan...pullin for you coach cal
Why? He didnt give a shit about you.
Nah
Facts he was only worried about cal! The reason he left he was so afraid of getting booed in his own house !! That never happened but we were at that point ! If he was still here we woulda booed him outa town and he ain’t wanna go through that
Nah he deserves this for being too stubborn to change
@@hmiller1128 i think when they come to rupp, it would be awesome if it was quiet as a mouse during the arkansas intro.
If not for Theiro,😬
gonna go get me some KFC, hell with Tyson
Now everyone is seeing that UK made cal. Not the other way around. He didn’t do anything before and won’t do anything after Uk. Some would argue he didn’t do anything while at Uk. All those players and only 1 ring? Surely not lol😂
He did plenty before…. If he didn’t Kentucky would have never hired him. Bad take…
Xs and Os is all Greek to Calipari
Nah! Kentucky fans were just spoiled, right? Lol
They cant even beat scrub LSU. If they keep playing like that they wont even get a bid to the NIT.
Worse. They flat out disappeared.
They led 50-43 with about 13 1/2 minutes left, then proceeded to give up a 23-7 run in less than 9 minutes to find themselves down 57-66.
Springer Mountain Chicken is better.
Man they are not good and have nothing to play for and that makes me absolutely freaking scared for when they come to Lexington. Please God let us win that game. We are so much better. But there is nothing more scary than a desperate team with nothing to play for. Absolutely shaking in my boots.
Gotta admit it is pretty funny that UK is Cal's Super Bowl and he can't admit it.
Everyone knew it was going to be a Kentucky 2.0… greasy salesman can’t coach
Cal has been on a downhill swing for the last 5 years next year Arkansas will be less talented
Lmao, adjustments and calipari are an oxymoron. As a lifetime UK fan, i saw this coming.
