Because Arkansas fans need Kentucky to be worse without Cal to validate their hire, apparently. It’s bizarre.

Kentucky annoyed that Arkansas is trying to make them rivals. Similar thing with LSU/A&M.

By simply hiring their coach, then immediately going into their house ("the cathedral of college basketball") and beating their arse?



Rivalry indicates competition. Arkansas simply ended Kentucky's basketball competitiveness on a whim one night during a prolonged coaching search. There's no rivalry here.

Glossing over this Kentucky team ending your win streak in BWA while claiming it wasn’t your own HC that started Kentucky’s current slump is certainly something. I’ll say that.

But did she shine with her own kind of light?

It was a massive ego hit to have their coach hired away from them. It only got worse when they were turned down by their top targets and settled on a complete dud.

Kentucky is not very good in the NIL era. They want it to be the coach’s fault instead of accepting times have changed. Any success Cal has proves it’s a program problem for them and not a coaching problem.

Nah, I’ve hated Kentucky since the early 90s.

It’s funny on this board, Kentucky fans say that Arkansas fans always talk about Kentucky. Yet, I can go to rupp rafters(btw, those people are crazy) and you will find posts about cal or Arkansas

Kentucky gets a lot of hate from a lot of people due to its blueblood status and has for decades...

But I've really enjoy the Arkansas vs Kentucky feud as of late... although it is still weird seeing Cal as the Arkansas coach.

On the contrary, Arky is the hero we needed and the one we deserved. A white night with sides of bacon, if you will

They backed the Tyson truck up to Cals house and rescued us when we thought we would have to have kroger make a special delivery to escape the overpriced Italian boat anchor

Arkansas = Tom Brady for that reason alone

Because Arkansas hasn't won any hardware (even the SEC tournament) since the 2000 season.

Didn't UK have grounds to fire Cal with cause since he was contractually required to tell the AD before snooping around for other jobs?

You're finally right about something.

UK leads the series 37-15.

You must consider a dog and fire hydrant a rivalry.
