November 13, 201015 yr Let me start off by saying that, I support Cal and do not think he is scum. Cal has been known to leave programs in shambles due to NCAA violations. His recruiting practices (or success) have led many to cast an evil eye on the Big Blue Ball Coach. Some say he is a sleaze, using the 1-and-done-rule as his only means of success, corrupting an already corrupt system. Others point to his charity work, the love his players show for him, and the amount of teamwork and fun his players have playing for him. So I must ask....Coach Cal, Scum or Not Scum?
November 13, 201015 yr Author What's up with the "Scum or not Scum" threads? Just curious? There was talk about Saban in a thread and it got the thread off topic. To continue to converation I made a thread about Saban. I was told that it was hypocritical to make a Saban thread if I wouldn't make one for Cal so I did.
November 14, 201015 yr I didn't see the Saban thread, but regardless of what coach we're talking about, I suspect there's a much better choice of words to choose from rather than "scum". Perhaps fans respect or don't respect a coach.... but calling them "scum" is inappropriate, rude, and degrading. On the topic of Coach Cal, I don't understand why people have a problem of any sort with him. He's NEVER been proven to be tied to anything illegal. He's given of his time and resources since coming to KY in magnificent and kind ways. He's recruited, coached, and won for us. He's been a loving mentor to his players. Regardless of what anyone says, he's my kinda coach and I hope we're fortunate to be able to keep him until he retires.

Scum, in my actual vocabulary is reserved for the worst kinds of people and I can't think of a college or professional coach that has done something that was actually criminal in the last few years. But, this is a relative scum. The villains of the sports world kind of scum.

But God help him if he leaves Kentucky the way he did Memphis St., or how Ricky left UK for Boston. Then his name is synonymous with mud in yours and most every other UK fan's eyes?
November 14, 201015 yr But God help him if he leaves Kentucky the way he did Memphis St., or how Ricky left UK for Boston. Then his name is synonymous with mud in yours and most every other UK fan's eyes? And Mr Schue comes in with a shot at UK fans. Completely unexpected. Can't we keep this on (the ridiculous) topic?
November 14, 201015 yr And Mr Schue comes in with a shot at UK fans. Completely unexpected. Can't we keep this on (the ridiculous) topic? Truth hurts, don't it? I mean, it's not like we haven't already seen this before with Pitino. During the entirety of the Smith and BCG eras, the UK fan base openly longed for Pitino's return, while cursing him at the same time for being a traitor. And it will happen again with Calipari. My post was completely on-topic, because that's exactly how it would go down.
November 14, 201015 yr Coach Cal has won a lot of games and helped quite a few players reach their dreams in the NBA. Many people knock him for the big contract. But I think it is going to far to say he is scum after all Coach Calhoun has accomplished at U Conn ...

More off topic drivel! Yay!
November 14, 201015 yr More off topic drivel! Yay! More UK fans getting upset because they can't face the reality of themselves! Yay!
