Could be right about some fans having a hard time ever being totally happy. Will have to think about that. And I do agree that Cal is the man. No doubt about that

I was born in lexington.I was taught to say “go big blue ” as soon as I could talk. we need to get back to where we were in1996 thru1998.in1996we were ranked 1st most of the season if not all season.I think our regular season margin of victory was around 22 points,. I know the margin of victory was awesome.I used to say”the next best thing abeside back to back championships is a second place inbetween”.I also thought gillispie should get a third season. I was not excited about that prospect.I am glad to be excited again.billy was not the man for kentucky basketball.john Calipari has the recruiting power to put us back on top.coach Calipari is the man.

I think there is a small percentage of UK fans who aren’t happy, no matter who is coaching. BCG almost killed our program, so it may take them a while to realize just how great this basketball program is going to be.

We includes a lot of folks when it comes to Rich. And you are right about Billy? The summer before his first year, I don’t remember any skeptics then, either. So maybe there is some extra caution there now. Very good post

I think there is at this moment a desire by some people to pass judgment on Cal’s decisions before he coaches a single game. The reasons are simple: the media and other “insiders” are in I Told You So mode since the ouster of Gillispie and feel emboldened to not let Cal get one over on them the way they feel Billy did. I was in the minority who felt Billy G deserved a third season (regardless of his personality and public perception) to field a team of his own making. I will now give Cal the same benefit. We were wrong about Rich Brooks, and I do mean WE. Maybe we were wrong about Billy G.
