The Record of Wrongs: Kentucky Wildcats
[Note by Joel, 02/12/10 9:10 AM EST ] I always seem to forget the disclaimer: This is all in fun, all meant to be good-natured.
Hear ye, hear ye. It's time for Tennessee Volunteer fans across the interwebosphere to gather for the ceremonial reading of the Record of Wrongs, a litany of the offenses committed by the Kentucky Wildcats. And folks, we're going to need your help here because (1) this is Kentucky, (2) Calipari's Record of Wrongs while at Memphis follow him to Lexington, and (3) I got started on this later because for some reason, I thought we just needed to update the record for Kentucky, but this is inexplicably the first Record of Wrongs we've ever done for the Wildcats basketball team. I know. It's UNFORGIVEABLE. Add that to my Record of Wrongs.
Anyway, away we go:
- February, 2008: Then Memphis coach John Calipari says that the Volunteers are not "Tennessee's team" and that Memphis is not only "Tennessee's team," but "America's team."
- February, 2008: Calipari claims that he is more afraid of Tulane than Tennessee.
- Calipari hated playing Tennessee while at Memphis because "playing Tennessee is not beneficial to [Memphis's] national schedule."
- January, 2008: John Calipari whines that the Vols "foul, like on every possession" and boasts that Tennessee can only get players from Memphis if Memphis doesn't want them.
- Calipari's arrogance is derived from success against Atlantic 10 and Conference USA opponents.
- Calipari's standard response to having to honor the contract requiring Tennessee and Memphis to play home-and-home games:

And those are just the wrongs imported from Memphis. The Kentucky program itself has also compiled quite a record of offenses against our beloved (and guiltless! ;-)) Volunteers. So what are they? Leave your findings in the comment section below.

Sounds like some kind of rubbery seafood.
the NCAA disturbs him, and he only retreats a little distance
when the NCAA goes after him, he disappears into the blackness, only to re-appear at the next unsuspecting school

He’s a better coach than what people around here are giving credit for at the moment. Despite all his flaws though, the main reason I’m glad for the coaching change is that everybody is far more comfortable with Dooley. Things are a lot more relaxed around Knoxville now. It’s closer to the general tenor of the program that drew me into being a UT fan way back when I lived out West.
by David Hooper on Feb 12, 2010 9:08 AM EST up reply actions
Lane Kiffin does have his positives
And to deny that he completely lacks any and all ability to coach isn’t correct. He did do some things very right, but agreed, his general persona isn’t a good thing for the University of Tennessee. Dooley’s a guy that I, right now, just feel very comfortable with and think can run a program the way a program is meant to be run.

Hey now.
Memphis only vacated wins because Calipari didn’t care about checking to see if his players actually passed the SAT. He didn’t get busted for paying them under the table.
The real question: is it a violation if Worldwide Wes pays the Kentucky players instead of Calipari?

Honestly....I didn't follow Memphis closely enough to comment either way
But, the trend in the NCAA now is to not punish enough.
Even a great coach like Jim Boehiem is not immune….look at the Eric Devendorf case.
First time I shot her, shot her in the side.
Hard to watch her suffer, but with the second shot she died...
Calipari's record
Pierre Niles gets caught on camera slapping a fan – no disciplinary action
Shawn Taggert & Jeff Robinson both arrested for inciting a riot on Beale St – no disciplinary action
Joey Dorsey – involved in the same incident- no disciplinary action
Robert Dozier – assualted his girlfriend – sat out game vs. SMU
Andre Allen – arrested for soliciting a prostitute – suspended (violation of team rules)
Jeremy Hunt – arrested for assaulting his girlfriend – kicked off the team, later re-instated
Kareem Cooper – arrested for possession of marijuana – suspended (violation of team rules)
Take a look at the kids that Calipari recruits:
Sean Banks – arrested for aggravated assault with a weapon and endangering the welfare of a child, after using a lighted cigarette to burn a gang insignia into the leg of a 15-year-old girl in a gang initiation rite – Welcom to Memphis, says Calipari
Tyreke Evans – was the driver in a drive-by shooting (got off on a plea deal for snitching), welcome to Memphis!
and Now, in his first recruiting class as UK, he gets John Wall who was arrested for breaking and entering.
Also, supposedly Cousins punched a fan in the face at the USC game.
Not to mention Calipari is a straight up cheater which got UMass on probation, and now will do the same at Memphis for getting kids in with fraudulent SAT scores.
Great track record, Calipari. I can see why Kentucky fans are so excited to have him on board!
or I should say, are so desperate, they are excited to have him on board
Kentucky is tired of finishing behind Tennessee in the SEC. So they bring in a coach who… has a .500 record against Tennessee. He might get lucky and finsh with a better record before he bolts to the NBA and leaves UK in rubble.
Are you saying Pearl kicks them out the

This Gem from Forde:
Found here.
For a large segment of this state, which had spent the first 45 days of Calipari’s tenure delirious over the coach’s instant recruiting success and rampant charisma, the strategy seems to be a spirited umbrella defense:
Do not rain on our upcoming parade.
Do not sully the name of our savior coach, no matter the messes he left behind at his last two collegiate stops.
And do not criticize our administration for hiring Calipari while his program was under investigation for major violations, even if the same administration passed on Calipari two years earlier because of concerns about his methods when his program was not under investigation.
The Big Blue chorus: We’re happy for the first time in a long time over here, OK?!? Don’t ruin it!
But most Wildcats fans don’t want to hear any of that at the moment. The sun is shining brighter than it has in a long while on their old Kentucky home. They want their winner and they want him now, and they’re not worried about what happened at his previous place of employment.
Which is probably exactly how Memphis fans felt when John Calipari came to them 10 years ago.
Ask them how they feel today.

Forde is a UK hater with no equal
That is what happens when you are a Louisville homer and a Pitino lap dog…..even wrote a book with Pitino.
First time I shot her, shot her in the side.

The fact remains
That Calipari’s two most successful seasons have been vacated because of cheating. There’s no way that he couldn’t have known about both of the situations, and the fact that both came at the end of his tenure, with him escaping without repurcussion is also completely mind-boggling.

Make no mistake about it though: The Tennessee-Memphis matchup later tonight is THE game to watch…And I’m not saying this because both teams play an up-tempo style, score shitloads of points, and feature several future NBA players. No, it’s more or less about the opposing coaches who love to ham it up for the cameras:
Tennessee’s Bruce Pearl likes to show people that 47, he can still pimp those blonde, southern belle bombshells

Whereas, John Calipari displays the incredible talent of randomly bursting into a "chicken dance" without warning.

True story:
When we went up to Bowling Green, Ohio, for curling regionals this year, we stopped at a Chik-Fil-A (sp?) up near Lexington to get lunch. Because we were cutting the timing a little close, I was wearing my curling clothes, including a Tennessee hoodie.
So I get up to the front of the line where one of the assistant managers was taking orders (it was busy), and the first words out of his mouth:
You know that Kentucky’s going to whip Tennessee, right?
I thought that was pretty funny.

On that note...
John Wall had some great words about Cal’s coaching job earlier.
“I didn’t think I played that bad. I don’t know what to expect. He’s probably going to say I played bad today too so. I don’t know. I just try not to listen to him and go out and play basketball and try and help my team win.”
After a “talk” with Calipari, John Wall said that his Coach was right. Still, for a player to feel like that when on a 20-1 team .. something is wrong ’bout that.

Totally accurate: Kiffin had never assembled a team of thugs.
He was previously hired as a head coach for a team of already-assembled thugs, and then was never allowed to follow his own drafting desires. It’s a critical distinction.

it would be trolling if we went to Sea of Blue and posted this stuff
it’s not a big deal. i’m just saying he’s a troll. it is what it is. posting stuff that takes stabs at tennessee on a tennessee board is trolling. no sugar coating. i don’t care if he is a regular troll, it’s still trolling

I ripped that one from KSR
First time I shot her, shot her in the side.
Hard to watch her suffer, but with the second shot she died...
i mean i don't really care
i think the banter is fun. he might be a friendly troll, but he’s a troll nonetheless

That's cool
We keep most trolls on a short leash, but we do give them room to contribute if they can do so within the guidelines. I just felt like he deserved more leeway than some others. And I had a general feeling that this thread was going in the right direction — was a lot of fun — and didn’t want it to get derailed by turning on each other instead of our relative teams.

Its all about having fun
As I said above, I respect Tennessee as much as any other program in the country, I don’t hate you all at all.
I reserve my hate for Duke and Louisville…..

yeah it's fun.
trolling around. apparently calling somone a troll is in itself a very inflammatory thing to do. a lot of people jumped to your defense.

Generally
a “troll” is someone who just runs around posting intentionally derogattory things with the intent to just piss people off. As far as I’ve ever heard it. It depends in context, too, as someone mentioned above: this is our “go overboard with UK hate” thread, so it’s only fair for him to be able to come back in and shoot his own guns. If this were, like, a thread praising Bruce Pearl and he posted that.. then yes, he’d be a troll.

i repect Kentucky too
but I wouldn’t expect to be able and post everything i have on here at Sea of Blue and not be called a troll. i don’t really care. but it comes with the territory. you shouldn’t be too shocked when that term gets thrown out there.
So can we fill up this thread with non-troll pictures for him?

actually Jodie Meeks wanted no part of Calipari and this current team

How are there this many comments
And only one mentions Worldwide Wes. Dude is an integral part of the filth that is Calipari. I mean, remember this: http://www.rockytoptalk.com/2009/7/19/954393/rivals-2-pg-josh-selby-decommits ?
I don’t understand how this guy is allowed to be around college athletics at all without being fined like crazy, much less to the extent he is involved. It really is only a matter of time before the UK program sees sanctions like Alabama did in the mid-90s.
Worldwide needs to be shown the

Okay, a few things...
1. I never get tired of reading that “open letter” to Calipari from The Hog. This is my favorite part:
You have already let it be known that “playing Tennessee is not beneficial to your national schedule”. What does [Bruce Pearl] not understand about this? Maybe you should consider sending Coach Pearl a letter telling him to leave you alone. Something like this: MEMO TO BRUCE- I DON’T HAVE TIME TO PLAY YOU. I AM GREASING THE HELL OUT OF MY HAIR AND WATCHING FILM ON EASTERN CAROLINA. See if he has some smart response to that one.
2. I hate John “Greaseball” Calipari" with the white hot heat of a thousand South Alabama suns.
3. I had never seen the “Kick Calipari” thing before. That is priceless.
4. John Calipari is a slimey slimeball, and unworthy of coaching in the SEC. Shame on Kentucky for bringing him and the Memphis roster with him.
5. I understand what golfballs03 is saying — I know btcoop71 is not a troll in the traditional sense, and everyone knows him, but if some random guy showed up and posted something like the “cons” picture, would he be a troll?
6. To add to the record of wrongs, I give you “CatsPause” and the large percentage of posters who post things like this (posted after the loss @ South Carolina:
I am not a sore loser and never will be. We deserved to be beat for the
way we played last night. However, I did notice something that really
stood out to me. Downey is without a doubt the most “PROTECTED” guard in
the league. Numerous times he took it to the lane with little to no
contact and the whistle was automatic. The call on Liggins on the 2
second play was absolutely stupid. Hell, Liggins was laying on the floor.
JW got hammered on a layup at the other end with no whistle. Referees
are homers except in Rupp. It is almost like a stigma that we are not
to get any questionable calls. Last night proved to me you better be 10
points better than any team you play on the road or you will get your
azz handed to you. Screw SEC officiating the absolute worst of any conference
and always has been. Go CATS!!!!!!!
Oh, and did I mention? I hate John Calipari.

I love old internet-[insert sport]-officiating-complaining
It always starts with “We deserved to lose, but” or “It didn’t cost us the game, but”
Official MCM Hater!
mARKEITH say GO TROGANS!
I prefer the genuine people
“That officiating sucked. It cost us the game.”
Whether or not they are right.

I won’t be in for this one. I’ll be watching the game, but not with internet access. I know, I know, it’s horrid. Watch the wrong KU game for me, and keep comments rolling!
