Mark Stoops still going: "Some may, but this program didn't wake up on third base."

Stoops: “I don’t care about anyone’s program, I stay in my lane. But when you start talking about mine, and people I compete against, I’m going to defend my players… Don’t demean and distract from what we’ve done to get to this point.”
Cal vs stoops is the feud of the year

Cal is hiding in the bahams while stoops gets even more endeared to UK fans

Team Stoops, I think all UK fans are.

Stoops is more relatable and seems down to earth. Cal is a slick backed haired typical arrogant Yankee. He gives off that sleazy used car salesman vibe.

What’s the story? Did Cal take a shot at the FB program?

You’ve got one guy who’s taken a door mat program to heights it hasn’t been at in over 50 years and another who’s managed to take arguably the greatest college basketball program in history and win 1 championship in 15 years.

I haven't heard of anything like this since reading about the Adolph Rupp-Coach Bryant feuds when Bryant was second fiddle at Kentucky even though he won the SEC championship.

Did Cal take swipes at Stoops or his team?

Slow news days
Your head basketball coach and your head football coach are arguing like two little girls. That’s news regardless of the time of year.

Good for him. Cal's just pissed that others programs are getting their turn in upgrades (like the indoor facility for football and track and field) and he can't just stamp his fricking feet for him to get what he wants when he wants it.

quote:
The Wildcats' 10th-year head football coach took to Twitter on Thursday to fire back at Calipari's comments in a report from Kyle Tucker of The Athletic, who is in Nassau covering the basketball team's exhibition tour of the Bahamas. Calipari told Tucker and other media members in attendance he thinks UK is a "basketball school" while advocating for a multi-use practice facility in the middle of campus that, in his vision, would also include a sports science department, a nutrition center and an interactive museum dedicated to the program's history of success.
quote:
"This is a basketball school. It’s always been that," Calipari said, according to Tucker's report. "Alabama is a football school. So is Georgia. I mean, they are. No disrespect to our football team. I hope they win 10 games and go to bowls. At the end of the day, that makes my job easier and it makes the job of all of us easier. But this is a basketball school. And so we need to keep moving in that direction and keep doing what we’re doing."

Stoops is a better football coach than Calipari is a basketball coach. Cal is a grifter. The entire SEC knows it. Kentucky fans know it

I imagine most people on this board are as well. Calipari doesn’t exactly endear himself to folks, while Stoops’ humility and work ethic are top notch.

Stoops was trending on Twitter under Sports a little bit ago. It's not just UK fans paying attention to this.
And if folks don't think Cal's comments won't get used against Stoops in recruiting, well, they don't understand recruiting. frick Cal's selfish arse.

I was told about comments Mark Stoops made in his press conference. I reached out to Mark Thursday & will try again. Comparing our athletic dept. to others was my bad. I have supported Mark & the football team through good and bad. I will continue to support them & cheer them on.
