Little did KU fans know that even before Mario sunk the miracle 3 pointer at the end of regulation, their team had already won the national championship fo the 2007-2008 season. Coach Cal is making a habit of running loose programs. First it was 1996 and UMASS, and now 2007 at Memphis. Unfortunately, Cal will not be punished. Memphis will.
Will cCal take his lazze faire style of running a mens basketball program to Kentucky? If history is an indicator, he will. Kentucky has the #1 recruiting class in college basketball this year. It appears likely they will be invited to the NCAA tournament next March. They may even do well. The one thing that is certain is that whatever the regular season and tournament record is, there will be an asterisks in everyone's mind. Only after the investigations are complete will Kentucky be able to claim any accomplishments in the 2009-2010 season.
That's what happens when you sell your soul to the devil. If Kentucky is a class program as some would indicate, they should step up and punish John Calipari. It won't happen, but if it did they would have my respect.

boo. Go Tigers! Go Cats! Even, GO CAL!
ReplyDeleteAs a person that was within the U of Memphis athletic department during some of the Cal years, I think you are mistaken when you say Cal leads a "loose ship". The education of those boys on his team is a priority. Complete from having a manager follow them and check that they are in class regularly, to punishing those that do not follow the "attend class" rules.
I'm not going to get into a banter with you because you've never cared for Cal/Memphis/Kentucky, so this will be my only comment, but I believe you're mistaken. I will still cheer on my Tigers happily, regardless of vacated wins or not, and I will cheer on the CATS as well and look forward to their future. Go blue!
:) love you UFrank.
