We got Calipari because we have balls. When I mean we, I mean Mitch Barnhart, Lee Todd, the boosters that made this happen and all the other people behind the scenes. I also include every Kentucky fan in "we". During the biggest economic recession in modern time we got out our checkbook and threw the big money at the best candidate available.
We did that because we want to win. We want to win because of the huge pressure the Kentucky fans put on our athletic department. I'm not even a big Barnhart or Todd fan but they landed the big one this time. They got the best candidate when we needed him the worst. If Caliapri can't win here, no one can.
Kentucky was tired of being mediocre or even a little above average. Kentucky fans want to be the best. Why? Because we are fucking badasses. The FedEx guy, Fred Smith, is on the Forbes 400 list with a net worth of 1.3 billion dollars and was supposedly meeting with Calipari late last night for hours trying to convince him to stay. Well he didn't stay. The richest guy in Kentucky who is active in the basketball program has a net worth of 500 million dollars tops and we got him. We don't give a fuck about anything but winning.
As Greg Doyle from CBS Sports said, "Calipari won like Kentucky at UMass and he won like Kentucky at Memphis." What do you think he will do at Kentucky? I'll fucking tell you what he will do at Kentucky. He will win like the US won in World War II, he will win like UCLA won in the 60's and 70's, and he will win like the Bulls won in the 90's. Bye bye parity in college basketball. It is all over. When Caliapri is done kicking ass sometime in 20 or so years, we might even be tired of dominating so badly. Kentucky fans' dicks will be sore from sticking them so far up Billy Donovan and Bruce Pearl, and Rick Pitino's ass every year. This is my last post about basketball for awhile. I'm so happy I can't even type any more. THANK YOU KENTUCKY FANS FOR NOT SETTLING FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN THE BEST. YOU ARE THE REASON WE ARE BACK!

Don't forget Mike Pratt. He played a huge role in this too, giving advice to both Dr. Todd & Mitch Barnhart.
ReplyDeletePratt is the color guy for UK Radio ( I think) and was Dan Issel's sidekick back in the day.
