Doyel on Cal and UK

[jvdfc]

You have no clue whether or not I liked him or not before this article...so...:confused: :lol:

 

But he is right, correct. :idunno: You are dead on 20.

[Irish Cat]

I'll tell you what happens. Kentucky will win like it's the Boston Celtics

 

I'll take that.

[iceking]

If you guys didn't make it so darned easy ...

 

And he is a great writer. I don't need an article to suit my world view before it becomes good.

 

But he was horrible on the radio when he tried that. :sssh:

[Italian Stallion]

That was the greatest article I've ever read. I'm on cloud 9 now.

I think the article was a little much...but it is awesome to hear!

Like I said, he's sucking up to you guys. I guess he wondered what it would be like to do an article on UK and not be carpet-bombed by hate e-mail.

Or he could maybe believe what he wrote...I am sure they are a lot of coaches in the SEC that will have trouble sleeping tonight, if not the entire country. This is one of those situations in sports that "looks really good on paper" and it should exciting to watch, whichever way it goes.

So are you saying he was being less than sincere?

[BigSpikes]

Once Calipari gets Kentucky rolling -- and it won't take him long -- Kentucky will be that team. That dominant team. Every year?

 

Yes. Every year.

 

Now it's these kinds of things that make so many HATE Kentucky.

 

But who cares? It's the truth, Cal has been a winner everywhere he's been, and I look for that to continue and Banners to be hung.

I don't know him personally, so I can't really say.

How are you any different than the UK fans who change their opinion based upon it being supportive on their argument?

Is it not the same as you saying "he's sucking up to you guys" because he's saying something that is, God forbid, positive about the UK program?

Pot. Meet kettle...

 

I've always loved Gregg Doyel, wish he was back on 1530, but I think he might be overreacting a tad bit in this article...

I wouldn't say sucking up. But I'd say he is jumping on the bandwagon.

I think he went a little too far in this article IMHO. It did seem he was either being very sarcastic or sucking up to UK fans or is a HUGE Calipari fan. Nice to see a positive article, but I think it overemphasized how good UK will be under Calipari. The landscape of college basketball has changed and we will never see a long term dynasty that no other team can ever touch for extremely long stretches again. Even Pitino's domination at the end of his tenure, was a streak lasting a massive 2 seasons.

I think he is a little overboard as a UK fan but I have that feeling I had when Roy Williams went to UNC. Same kind of fit IMO.
