I'll give her this much: She'll fit right in with UK fans. Takes everything personally.

 

You don't think it is personal to her. If some one is rag'in on my family you darn right it is personal.

 

The Big Blue we are a family.:ylsuper:

Umm...Last time I checked Coach Cal was her father. That means it is personal with her. :ohbrother:

This is a little different Jim. It's her dad. I think it is personal with her don't you think? :lol:

You have got to be kidding me! Forde has written 3 negative articles about Calipari since he has been hired at UK. That is the girl's father. This isn't just a fan of the team. Come on, and put your biases aside every now and then.

Your dad's not a famous coach, is he?

Bottom line: John Calipari is an extremely high-profile public figure. With that status comes the microscope of public criticism. Whether you guys like it or not, Pat Forde's just doing his job.

I have no issues with protecting dad. But all she has done is made it open season on herself.

 

Don't attend any parties or get caught on camera doing something stupid.

Just because he is famous doesn't make it any less personal to her. Forde says what he wants to say, Erin says what she wants to say. Both have that right.

I am sure she was wide open long before her statements about Forde. Daughter of a high profile coach she is always going to be under a microscope.

I have no problem with what Forde writes. I understand that's his job, but trying to compare Calipair's daughter to the average UK fan is a bit extreme don't you think?

Pat Forde is a public figure much like John Calipari. He has done a brilliant job at garnering attention towards his articles.

 

Personally, I don't care much for the man as a journalist. His articles are far too predictable.

Well said, LRCW.

 

Also, I was impressed with Erin's "posts". I'm not sure what I think about them in terms of whether or not they're appropriate. But, I do know that they made me laugh. At least they were fairly well thought out, original & intelligent. :thumb:

So are you saying its okay for him to criticize John Calipari, but not okay for her to criticize him. He has written 3 bad articles about Calipari in the last 2 months!!! How would you feel if that was your father? Especially since he has never been proven or even accused officially to my knowledge of any wrongdoing.

Social networking stuff is out of control for everyone. Trust this school teacher - I know!

 

I can believe it...

My father has been in that position, albeit on a far less widespread basis. I bit my tongue, as difficult as it was. As someone else noted, she leaves herself open for the microscope by flying off the handle.

 

It's the nature of the beast, good, bad or indifferent.

 

And stop acting like it's a crime to not kiss UK's heinie. Forde has no obligation to write flowery puff pieces about UK or Calipari.

Yes, but on a much more limited basis than Calipari.
