Part III coming? I have to admit, that's what I want to see even more than the first two. The first two are fairly easy to figure, the last part not easy at all. Most of what existed during the first 10 seasons still existed (with exception to 2021), yet totally and completely different results. Please do part III!
That auburn loss without their best player is when I finally realized it’s gonna go downhill for cal. He continued to call sets for Hagans and baffled me
When I knew it was over and all downhill ahead was when he had Booker and Ulis setting on the bench and the Harrison twins starting and he continued that kind of nonsense till they was ready to run his ass off.
He never should have stopped platooning in the tournament in 2015. He always switchs things up when the games get big, he should have stuck with what was working through that entire season. When he actually would stick to the platoon rotation he never lost. That 2015 year was crazy, because the team was clearly the best team in the country by far and he lost to Wisconsin 🤦
this was good stuff. i use to right down a lot of notes and game stats after each game but got frustrated over the last 3 years and quit.ill be waiting for part 2.
To be fair to Cal, Star Wars has been worse longer. The only good things Disney has made since they bought it are Rogue One, Andor, and Mando season 1&2. Each of those are flukes that slipped through the cracks.
@ukhistorian I'm not a big fan of the Clone Wars. There are some good story arcs here and there but too much filler. The last few episodes of the last season are good. I like Rebels better, even though it introduced time travel and they undid the death of Ahsoka.
@ukhistorian Her character got better but she was just annoying initially and it doesn't make sense that they never mentioned her in episode 3 or even the original trilogy. Her death in Rebels was the perfect ending to her character and also made sense as to why she wasn't mentioned in OT. The guy who created both shows has gone on record saying he has problems with killing his characters off and ultimately that has gotten in the way of good storytelling.
One thing nobody seems to know, is why? 2009-2015 were incredible, then 2016-2020 a downturn compared to the first 6 seasons but still very good, and then more or less the bottom fell out. My guess is it was multiple factors. Just would love to know what they were.
You know what's crazy is Calipari was 190-38 in his first 6 seasons as UKs head coach. That definitely was elite. that's better than Dan Hurleys record in his 6 seasons at UConn. Cal I think he just lost all hunger to win at a high level, especially after almost going undefeated in 2015 and getting knocked off like that. That game broke his motivation IMO.
What really knocked off his motivation was his ego and the lifetime contract. Along with his need to want to see all "his" freshman players to go play in the NBA all stars game. 🙄
"the last image we would see of Rick Pitino in Rupp arena." hooo boy, I am from the future and boy do I have news for you. Also, Ulis won those games. lol. I still wish Cal had given Ulis control of the offense, and would still like to see Ulis at UK I think the 2017 game broke Cal, not the 2015 game. I think he gave up, and doubled down on everything like his outdated offense. He stopped innovating and stopped adapting. He sank into his worst habits, and tried desperately to squeeze one more championship out of it.
The media covering Cal cavorting with Sister Jean would have been unbearable; though it would have been worth it to get to the Elite 8 and possibly beyond.
Biggest missed opportunity of the Cal era in my opinion. Never seen a bracket open up the way that one did. It’s really amazing that Kentucky got 0 banners out of 17,18,19. I think Kentucky beats Loyola. Not sure why but I do. 17 - lose by 2 18 - lose by 3 19 - lose in OT 3 years in a row of being basically one basket away from another banner and we went 0 for 3. Thats a little bit to do with being unlucky.
You know as you get older that you slow down a bit, make it home early to hang with the Wife. Then you smell something good from the kitchen and you sit down in your electric lounge chair and pull over the tv dinner table and wit on Mom to bring you supper. Cal has not been productive since that recliner and tv tray come in the house.
So Sick of The Calipari Talk, move on Please plenty of other Stuff to Talk About.. As for A Great first 6 years No Remember Year 4 Didn't Qualify For The NCAA tournament So Don't forget He had 5 Out Of 15 Successful years.. that's History move Forward From Calipari University!!!
So greatness is defined by a one n done tourney literally labeled madness? We get y’all don’t like Calipari but the talent and if the tourney was a legit best of series (won’t ever happen for timing and money reasons) let’s not act like Cal ain’t been in the top 12 of rosters (excluding the Noel & TC5 💔 years) extremely sad how y’all treated Calipari towards the end. That entitlement shit up there with pride and can kill ya
The Cal obsession is disgusting. Focus on Pope getting his first ever tournament win! Kentucky will most likely be a bubble team this upcoming season so keep being miserable & bitter 😆
You're videos are absolutely OUTSTANDING!!! Well Done again!

Part 3 is coming soon! The Baseball run to the CWS delayed it. But part 3 is on it’s way

No doubt Wenyen had a MASSIVE impact on that SEC tournament… really displayed his longevity

These are very well done. Really impressive stuff
Love your Grandfathers notes!
Thank you! I’ll let him know!
Let it go guys
The Wichita State coach's wife is hilarious!😂
Will always love Cal
Fire video!
Need that part 3 in my life.
It’s coming soon. Just Gotta win this baseball tournament first.
@@WatchKSR Hell yea, Go CATS!!!
I now think of Cal like I do Star Wars: used to be great, but not worth my time anymore.
To be fair to Cal, Star Wars has been worse longer. The only good things Disney has made since they bought it are Rogue One, Andor, and Mando season 1&2. Each of those are flukes that slipped through the cracks.
@@M00SE414Don't forget last season of Clone Wars.
@ukhistorian I'm not a big fan of the Clone Wars. There are some good story arcs here and there but too much filler. The last few episodes of the last season are good. I like Rebels better, even though it introduced time travel and they undid the death of Ahsoka.
Ahsoka is the reason why I love Clone Wars. She is an example on how to write a good female character.
@ukhistorian Her character got better but she was just annoying initially and it doesn't make sense that they never mentioned her in episode 3 or even the original trilogy. Her death in Rebels was the perfect ending to her character and also made sense as to why she wasn't mentioned in OT.

Eric Bledsoe, Daniel Orton, Josh Harrellson, Quade Green, Marquis Teague, Derek Willis, etc, all da underrated talent thooo

Move on! Let's look towards the future.
The smartest BBN fan here 👍

Malik had 47 against UNC btw
Good call. He did.
@@WatchKSR yeah I watch that game at least once a year
He will do better at Arkansas because Kenny Payne is back as his assistant

He should have started Booker and Ulis and not the two twins. He probably would have won the championship.
Screw him. He’s shown his true colors and it ain’t blue.
That first half of the 2016 UNC game was the worst officiated half i think I've ever seen. It was such an obvious screw job.
His biggest issue is carrying home Timeouts...
He just can't manage games anymore...horrible.
Time to move on. I’m not watching anything about Cal.
I get it Sarah. But it’s the offseason, and he’s a huge part of our history.

You Arkansas fans drank the kool-aide😂. Enjoy your 10 loss seasons and 1st round losses😂
Your obsession too or you wouldn’t be sniffing around UK media
