There are like a dozen threads for this

3/31/2009 7:51:43 PM

True and point taken. But this one directly affects ncsu and "wanting a raise" one is outdated as he got his raise.

^ Should have made a new thread, this one is outdated as Calipari has already signed with UK.

3/31/2009 7:55:27 PM

someone post a side by side picture of calipari and fred flinstone

3/31/2009 7:57:15 PM

Tyreke Evans to the NBA, too

I can't wait for the ESPN jerk off session talking about how good UK will be next year. Calapari is going have to kick some people off the team to get this to work. It'll be interesting to see how Memphis deals with letting Henry out of his LOI and who they go after now for head coach.

3/31/2009 8:37:01 PM

honestly, as long as the preseason #1 isn't UNC, then i will be pleased

3/31/2009 8:38:47 PM

^duke will be better than unc next year

3/31/2009 8:51:53 PM

im not talking about performance, im talking about media preseason rankings

3/31/2009 8:52:49 PM

i honestly would love to see Kentucky do very well and soon as UNC is closing that all time wins gap quickly...

and I HATE UNC

3/31/2009 9:51:45 PM

As slimy as I think Calipari is, there was just something unsettling about Memphis of all places having an elite team.

3/31/2009 10:04:24 PM

i hear Sid is going to Memphis now

3/31/2009 10:25:50 PM

every iteration of a joke about sidney lowe has been made now

3/31/2009 10:27:50 PM

REJECTED

3/31/2009 10:29:14 PM

don't bring that weak lowe action

You can't be elite if all you win is CUSA titles. I would have rather had him keep piling up 30 win seasons and no NCAA titles at Memphis for the next 10 years.

sid jokes have a looooooong way to go before they reach the of sendek jokes

This may or may not be true. Depends on early entries to the draft and John Wall's recruitment.

3/31/2009 11:28:57 PM

UNC is going to lose a lot of will from this season to next season

3/31/2009 11:29:37 PM

The Memphis board is epic right now, I'm so glad I recovered my old password from '06:

"It is over, the BCS has won. That's it. I know when the fat lady is singing. May those who mention his name be severely punished. May a John Calipari voodoo doll be placed at the entrance of the U of M for all who pass to carry out their torment. We just lost our super hot rich fiance at the alter, after we dated her for 9 years and was about to marry us and give us the keys to her family fortune - and we lost her to the big fat ass bully down the street! Good grief guys, he's gone. Elvis is dead too......get over it.... Kentucky probably gets our banner from last year IF we hire the right guy ..and I am talking about a blockbuster guy to the 4 recruits ... they might consider staying ... He didn't even say goodbye. I'm holding out hope that the World Wide Wes dealings will catch up with him. "

I guess I understand how they can feel like the rug was pulled out from under them. But, I mean, come on. You're fucking Memphis.

3/31/2009 11:47:37 PM

i wish we could get somebody to lead us to national prominance and then leave for a better job.

maybe sid will turn it around in the next couple years and go back to the pros.

3/31/2009 11:52:50 PM

we had somebody that led us to national mediocrity or perhaps above-averageness who left for a...different job?

3/31/2009 11:55:05 PM

Why you gotta do that?

3/31/2009 11:55:35 PM

my mind instinctively compares shit, i cant help it

the top left corner gets a different rating than the rest of the picture

3/31/2009 11:59:12 PM

i was hoping it'd be like "wtf BJC, there is no better jobs!!!" but of course i knew it would get an herb response

3/31/2009 11:59:21 PM

Exactly

When you hang banners for losing in the first round or national championships that you didn't actually win, you can't cry when your coach takes arguably the best job in the country.

4/1/2009 12:00:35 AM

i honestly think if someone "led us to national prominence" in basketball they would be more likely to stay here than at memphis...all our prestige and tradition may not be good for shit right now, but if we have that prestige and tradition, and are a national title contender, the history of the program goes back to meaning something to the nation of basketball fans

NC State is tarnished gold

Memphis is platinum plated lead

4/1/2009 12:02:00 AM

ACC > CUSA

CONFERENCE PRIDE

4/1/2009 12:02:55 AM

yeah but more relevantly, 2 titles > 0 titles, if both teams are national title contenders

4/1/2009 12:06:09 AM

Does that poster in the background say "Good is our enemy... dare to be GREAT!!"

Is their mascot named Tony?

A few more LOL's:

Quote :

"The SEC is not that much better than CUSA Now that we know Cal is a liar do you really think he told derrick rose to foul chalmers at the end of the game, cause honestly, I never believed him. I still think a stunning financial package for Billy Donavan would be a great idea. I'm sorry and I know some of you might not like this, but all the (former) players who Cal got here apparently were more about him than they were the city or the program. There is a taint to them!! He makes us feel like used newspaper from a fish and chips basket. "

At least we dont have to compete against him in this territory anymore...

Billy Donnovan


LOL


HEY GUYZ I BET WE CAN GET PHIL JACKSON! JUST PUT TOGETHER A NICE FINANCIAL PACKAGE!

4/1/2009 12:40:51 AM

hay guyz lets lure roy williams away from unc or rick pitino from louisville

4/1/2009 12:43:16 AM

It's going to be nice to see UK competing again with UNC in the near future. UNC fans do feel threatened by UK and their prestige.

4/1/2009 12:48:39 AM

i wonder if UMass fans were this delusional

^They are completely delusional, many of them are now pining for Bruce Pearl in a 7 page thread dedicated to him. I'm done looking at this shit though, way too much Memphis for one night. If anyone enjoys a good meltdown I will pass on my password and username to the site (memphistigers.org)
