Only one of us sounds angry here. I do find it amusing that the temperament flipped from "Big Z is a great fit for our new coach" to "he's dumb, he's a liability, time will tell, etc"

Good luck with your new hire, I believe Arkansas fans understand Calipari isn't at the top of his game anymore but most of us also understand that Kentucky has very big shoes to fill in that role.

Not angry at all. Just tired of the relentless nonsense that most of your fanbase has somehow convinced yourselves that now you have arrived...

It is going to be a fun time in Fayetteville. I am happy that you all are excited about the future of your program.

The SEC needs competition, but remember, that UK owns the basketball conference. Obviously, we haven't the last few years which is why we have someone who gets it. Our fans want a coach who understands that NCAA tournaments and championships are important. The SEC titles matter too.

You will have a top-five recruiting class year after year. Numerous one-and-dones Burger boys, and all the lights and glamour that go with it. Will make Ark look like the destination to be. Cal will bring so many big names to your program that most will forget who they are in a year.

Cal will win some big games for your program, but again, he is going to get rolled by some teams that will leave you wondering why they lost that game.

No one is arguing or disputing these facts.

But to think he leaves the most winning program in the NCAA for Ark is laughable. He chose to leave the program on his own, we didn't force him out.

If he was producing at a high level, he never would have left.

He knew he had overstayed and was looking for an escape route, which is why he was looking at Ohio State in February. Again, good luck with your season.
