Nobody is going to say that he was in the first tier of desired candidates but everyone was ready for a change. Pope hits on a lot of things people didn't like about Calipari. He's a Kentucky Basketball legend, loves the school, and he's a good speaker. Calipari always de-emphasized the...

I was a fan of his when he played for Ky but I was definitely disappointed when I saw this. Ky just hired a coach that has no tournament wins. I never thought I'd see the day. The only sparks of hope are that he has an exciting offensive scheme, he's improved every team he's coached, and he...

I was not expecting the tribute at the end and it really got me.

Levis was clearly not 100% but it just shows how important he is to this team. Last week without him they were just terrible. The defense is good but you can't go 3 and out every time. Hopefully Levis, Robinson, and a few defensive guys can heal up in the off week. I don't expect them to win...

Ky's offensive line looked awful for the first half of this game. Hopefully that's just a product of the inexperience they have there and can improve through the season. They have some true freshmen there replacing the experience they lost last year.

Everyone is talking about the upcoming UK game and how UT should rest their players this week and let them heal up. But I say don't overlook this week's game. Sure, Alabama is no Kentucky but they are pretty tough. If you take this game for granted they will sneak up on you and send UT home...

I don't think anyone is beating Georgia this year but I will be sitting in front of the tv full of hope at the start of the game. Please be gentle Georgia.

I like it a lot

Auburn and Florida laid eggs but otherwise everyone has taken care of business so far. Some pretty close and fun games to watch. 6-2 with the championship game to go.

Bama's offense is truly impressive this year. Their receivers are ridiculous. I think Ole Miss showed you have to have a good offense to keep up with them. It doesn't matter what your defense looks like if you are going 3 and out every time.

Kentucky probably finds a way to screw it up anyways but the ref defended touchdown right before half changed the game quite a bit. If Kentucky went into the 4th up 20-15 instead of down they probably don't try and fail on 4th down to give a short field. At least they'd have covered the spread.

You don't get a bigger trophy for winning with 3 stars.

And Barnes didn't even make the final four with Durant who most would put above AD. Having good players helps but it's not everything. It takes players, coaching, and luck to win a championship. Discounting a championship because the team had a good player seems silly. The last 10 years...

I wonder what the details of the deal were from UCLA... Calipari was compensated 9.2 million this year at Ky. I guess there are a few message board trolls or rivals wanting him to leave but who would they hire to do better? He's been there 10 years and has been to the sweet 16 in 8 of them...

really?
