The Big Blue Daily Mail -- Coach Cal Backhands the Cardinals

PrintAfter a short hiatus, the Big Blue Daily Mail returns today with a lead story that is a couple of days old. I read about this late Monday night, and the whole Josh Selby thing blew up in my face and I have not had time to address it.
What I am talking about is a recent talk Calipari had in Pikeville, where, according to Brett Dawson:
Calipari said that people in the state should "calm down about Louisville," noting that other high-profile programs either are on the Wildcats' schedule now (North Carolina) or might be soon (Duke, Kansas).
Heh. Now, I don't know about you, but if I were a Cardinals fan, I would not be amused by this. Calipari is clearly elevating Duke, Kansas, and UNC over Kentucky's #1 rival as a big game on the schedule. In other words, "Little brother, your program just don't stack up, and we aren't worried about you."
Matt Jones touches on this aspect in this blog, but I do wonder if it stuck in the craw of the the Louisville faithful, or if they simply didn't pick up on the subtleties of the comment. No way to know, but a quick perusal of some of the Cardinal boards did not show any discernable reaction. I'm not sure if that speaks more to their aplomb, or ... something less complimentary. I shall decline to speculate.

X’s & O’s of Basketball: How Much Does Tradition Really Matter??
My own opinion is that tradition does matter, especially in a basketball crazed town like Lexington. I lived near Bloomington, Indiana for a year and its the same at IU. Coach Tom Crean gets it. Tradition matters, it matters to what kind of leader you will be.
Interesting counterpoint to my earlier assertion that tradition does not matter anymore, at least to recruits. But no doubt, it matters to UK fans. - Hazard to host Calipari, UK Basketball Camp

Tweet U: John Calipari's son heads to Vegas
Eamonn Brennan links a Sports by Brooks post which mocks Calipari's recent tweet about Vegas being a great place to spend time with his 12 year old son, and joins in with a little poo-pooing of his own.
I wonder if these guys have been to Vegas lately? As I guy who has been countless times (and will be going again in late August), I can tell you Vegas is a lot more like Disneyworld these days than the Las Vegas I remember from the 1980's, when it was still a gambler's town.
So for my money, I think Calipari is right on -- its a great place for kids and adults to go together because of the wonderful diversity of entertainment and good weather. Catering to kids is a huge part of the Las Vegas scene these days, and the adults don't have to be bored with kiddie rides and tame night life found at many traditional "kid friendly" vacation spots.

I Didn't Vote for Tim Tebow | SECRivals.com
So who was the lone vote for Jevan Snead of Ole Miss over Tim Tebow? Darrell Owenby does yeoman's work trying to unravel this disturbing mystery, but I see only three scenarios that make sense:
1. Some coach holds a secret grudge. None of the coaches holding a public grudge would likely dare -- Richt, Kiffin.
2. One of the new guys -- Mullen, KIffin, Chizik - These guys could be predisposed to stir the pot, however unlikely.
3. Nick Saban -- Nick Saban has the personality of an inanimate carbon rod mixed with white vinegar. You don't know what he's thinking unless he's angry, and you don't know who he's angry at unless he goes nuclear.
There is one other possibility which makes by far the most sense -- Houston Nutt and Urban Meyer traded votes. Nutt voted for Tebow so that Meyer could use that one vote for Snead as motivation for Tim Terrific to be even better, and in turn gives Jevan Snead some well-deserved recognition. Win-win, and just the kind of thing Meyer and Nutt would concoct, as they don't appear to harbor any bitterness toward each other.

Yawn....
He hasn’t coached one game yet as UK’s coach. Nobody cares what he says now for the most part. If one does pay attention, it just plays into his reputation of being a pompous a**, at worse, or ignorant of the Commonwealth’s tradition, at best.
I do remember ES referring to ‘little brother’ until the Doctor’s of Dunk slammed UK back to the stone age during overtime in the Regional finals in Knoxville. Old Eddie kind of stopped that reference after that loss.

I think he knows exactly what the tradition is….and he wants it to go back to where UL is insignificant in the minds of the UK faithful…..you guys need this rivalry a lot more than we do….

Good grief. The self importance is incredible. Too funny.

Hey, Hoze
You’re referring to two different events:
Joe Hall coached the initial “Dream Game” in Knoxville (3/26/83) which is the game U of L won in OT. Eddie Sutton (he referred to U of L as “little brother”) took over in the ‘85-’86 season and is responsible for, what’s the term you use, slamming U of L back into the Stone Age with the largest win in the series’ history, 85-51, on 12/27/86. Mr. Sutton was 3-1 versus “little brother” in his 4 year tenure.
And the modern (since the first “Dream Game”) record is, I believe, 17-11 in favor of UK.
No charge for the history lesson.
You are right.
Only a fan so obsessed with the UK v. UofL rivalry would know these details. Thanks for making my point.
But don’t worry….shhhhhh…I won’t tell the ‘messiah’ how important it is to you.

Hoze
And U of L fans don’t obsess over UK? Gimme a break.
They’re so consumed with a raging inferiority complex regarding UK (which is certainly understandable), Dr. Melfi would have no chance at curing their poor souls. Even after winning two-in-a-row, here you are, doing what U of L fans do the best; perpetuating the stereo-type.
And by the way, the quote you mis-attributed is well known to most UK fans over the age of 40 or so. I used a Media Guide for the rest.

I never wrote that the rivalry wasn't important to UoL fans.
It is. It’s important to both. If you weren’t so defensive, you could see my comments more clearly.
Lastly, only those so consumed would spend time researching the facts and details before posting. Again, thanks for making my point. Geez, this is sooooooo easy…..

From someone who has Rick Pitino as coach? Wow.
Calipari talked smack about UofL in Pikeville? Wow, how brave; that’s a real Cardinal stronghold. If he ever says anything nice about us I’ll know he’s lying, so his words don’t mean much to me.
I try to be relatively polite on this site, but I take exception to “you guys need this rivalry a lot more than we do.” As long as Louisville does well in the Big East they’ll be just fine, thank you.
And I don’t understand why Eddie Sutton still gets quoted by UK fans. Didn’t he almost singlehandedly ruin your program?

Heh.
Well, I think both teams enjoy the rivalry, and I don’t think either team needs it worse than the other.

Joe Hall certainly might have said that,
but Sutton is the one that famously used the term.
And quite honestly, Hall doesn’t seem the type to say such a thing publicly. Although, he fought tooth and nail to keep UK from having to playing U of L.
by Ken Howlett on Jul 22, 2009 11:45 PM EDT up reply actions
Check this out
From Jon Scott’s excellent site: He chronicles the history of the UK/U of L rivalry — He notates the Sutton “little brother” comment.
Scroll down to the 1985-1986 game, which is about 2/3’s of the way down the page. Then go to the third paragraph, you’ll see Rex Chapman’s picture.
Here’s the link.
Something I didn’t know — Joe Hall offered to play U of L in 1982 in the Hall of Fame Tip-Off Classic in Springfield, but Crum said he didn’t want to play, because UK was “loaded.” Surprise, surprise.
Anyway, it’s chock full of info. GIve it a read if you have some time.

Hey guys,
Just thought I’d throw in the little tidbit of the very real possibility that C-Cal wins his first NCship for UK before Pitino ever will win one for U of Smell. That’s T Mieners Joe B Hall’s quote, not mine. Let’s see now, Pitino’s been there for – ? – eight years now is it ? Hasn’t won it yet. Bet it won’t take Calipari more then a few. But, THAT is what is in the craw of our friendly neighborhood spiderhoze. Don’t let him fool ya. I know a few things about “prophecy”, and the Hozelip sees the writing on the wall.

Can you imagine?
Seriously. Pitino will privately blow a fuse! It will get real interesting then. Pitino’s pride will force him to remain at UL till they run him off, which they will when C-Cal wins his second, and third. Pitino was going to be gone soon, until C-Cal came on board here. No way he lets Calipari run him off now. Which means his remaining years at UL will be PAINFULL!!!!!

Is that all you have left in your bag, Hoze?
You’re down to Biblical references?? To call up the Ten Commandments AND misspell prophecy quoting the worshiping of false idols and you describe it as manlove?? You have managed to become the posterboy for whats wrong with your fanbase….You describe many of us as having “overrated our self-importance”, yet you have nothing in the tank except innuendo and conjecture. Your overly inflated ego has allowed your keyboard to write a check your database cant cash. You want a dose of reality? Well here it is….
Your program always has been, and always will be second best in this state. If you win a National Championship every year for the next three, you will still be second best. Your program couldnt survive as in independent, because there was no one decent to play, so you joined a second tier league, and ran roughshod over it until Calipari ran you out of it. The program then joins the Big East, where until this past year or two you got smacked around like an orphan in the movie Oliver. You have enjoyed decent success for a 2-3 year period against good competition. When you have done that for 15-20 years, come see us…..then we can talk. When you hang another 3 or 4 NC banners in that new arena of yours then you can claim to be approaching UK….but even then you will still be 2nd best in Kentucky…..and not even close to that everywhere else in the world bub.
We are the WINNINGEST PROGRAM IN THE HISTORY OF COLLEGE BASKETBALL…..we are 2nd only to 1 program in terms of NC’s, and we have the biggest fanbase in the sport. Did you check out the online poll for where people most want to see a game played?? Between Rupp and Freedom Hall, its 90% Rupp, 10% Freedom Hall…..Thats a 9-1 Ratio…..You cant compete in numbers, you cant compete in support, and you definitely cant compete in passion for your program.
For every 1 Louisville supporter in this state I can get you 10 UK fans. You just dont get it, and obviously you never will. I love Rick Pitino and what he did for UK, but I feel so sorry for him having to come back to this state and coach that program. It is a waste of his talent and his legacy. The man deserves better. You want manlove, well there it is. And that angry little cardinal of yours for an avatar aint gonna help you either. There is a reason you guys have a bird for a mascot and we have a Wildcat…….they EAT birds….you can rationalize, analyze,and tell other lies, but you will still be the 2nd best program in the state….
Remember, we're having fun now!!!

Oh....I am soooooo crushed with your assessment.
Although thanks for the fresh response. I have never heard or read that tripe before from a UK fan (sarcasm alert). It’s interesting to see in detail where you get your personal self worth. Sad, but now crystal clear.
'..when they bring a knife, you bring a gun...that's the Chicago way..'
Just so long as we are clear
about YOUR self-worth….or should I say your program’s…..my mistake….and trying to delfect away from reality doesnt help you either…sarcastic?…yes…UK Fan?…you better believe it! and none of that changes the truth…..you dont have a leg to stand on, and unless you get a miracle from the author of those Ten Commandments, you never will have….but dont be too disheartened….2nd place isnt all bad….youre still in Kentucky…..at least you have that going for you.

Give me a break...
Calipari ran Louisville out of C-USA? I know you don’t honestly believe that.
The last I saw of Calipari in C-USA, he was picking his overly cocky point guard off the floor after the kid’s missed free throws gave UofL the conference championship. Hopefully he’ll “run us out” of Rupp Arena in the same fashion this season.
Why do SOME UK fans (ALLBLUCAT, for example) want to scold us for not liking Kentucky? What kind of a soulless front runner would I be if I said “You’re right…You have more national championships. GO BIG BLUE!”? Really, congrats on all that and congrats to being the number one program in the state. That almost never happens with the state university. This is truly a unique situation.
And maybe we should hold a benefit for poor ol’ Rick Pitino. Obviously Louisville was the only program that wanted to hire him in 2001.
I’m not going to get in a name-calling battle with anyone on this site. But I couldn’t let the “Calipari ran Louisville out of C-USA” comment go unchecked.

It is not worth an intelligent man’s time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already enough people to do that.

Probably more than I do.
I would say that my hubby enjoys the sport of football better in general.
We both really enjoy going to the UK games – we really, really enjoy the tailgating – but a loss in football really isnt going to ruin my day the way a basketball loss can. We have even been discussing getting football season tickets here in the near future, so I guess it isnt fair to say that I dont care about UK football – its more of a bridge to get me my UK fix through until b-ball gets going.
I’d say he definitely cares more about football season than I do though.

That's good to hear about your hubby.
He’ll keep you interested whether you like it or not and that is all that matters.
*snort*
good one, Tink. I’m pretty sure it’s allllllll the fault of your lack of interest that UK football has never been that good : )
Guess what? I don’t care about football either. Not gonna get guilted into feeling bad about it either! No one feels like they must discuss or care deeply about UK tennis or track and field or whatever to be a “true fan,” so I don’t know why there’s some exception for football—just because it’s a big-money sport? I follow UK football to about the same extent as I do every other of the non-men’s-basketball teams and athletes—I hope they win, because they’re representing the state and UK, but that’s about the extent of it. It’s nothing against UK football—I just don’t care for the game itself.

Heh.
We’ll be having more up on football shortly. Sometimes, you just have to go with the flow. Around here, the flow is definitely more of the hardwood variety.

I can't wait for football
But, it has been called the “real man’s game”. I think what C-Brooks has done at UK in football is one of the most truly phenomenal accomplishments in the history of UK sports! No kidding here. When one looks at all the circumstances he had to deal with fom day one, especially the scholorships lost and the defections, he was playing with I think it was less then 55 recruited scholorship players at one point! Amazing. I love football!!
Food for thought: The virgin birth has much more to do with the absense of a natural earthly father then the use of a virgin mother. Now, chew.....Because, it's called a "corrupt seed", not a "corrupt egg"!
FOOTBALL!!!
I am very excited about football season! I will be back in the states for three weeks in September! I will get to see a couple of games in the states at Buffalo Wild Wings or Hooters! Then it is back to Japan and AFN….
