Possible starting lineups for Kentucky and Louisville next season. I like ours a lot better.

Calipari was surprised by Rex Chapman's "tweet heard 'round the world." Who wasn't?
-
Some of Calipari's comments from yesterday's whirlwind sports show appearances. I liked this:
Calipari also insists it's easier to coach in the NCAA. That way there's no dealing with the pressures of salary cap space, draft picks and trades. He had a friend once tell him he was thinking about making the leap to the NBA, and Calipari told him, "You'll probably get fired."
This is the voice of experience talking. He should remember his own advice.
-
We haven't had any in a while, so here's a little Calipari hate for you. Embrace it.
