Very interesting.

Calipari would be the perfect prescription. If he can keep the fans in line that is...

4/10/2006 4:08:58 PM

^ I think Calipari is a good enough / proven coach that that bashing him is not an option unless it deals with being dirty or player academics

4/10/2006 4:10:01 PM

You gotta be kidding me!!!

Just today has been a roller coaster ride in and of itself. After every class, the outlook of Cal comin here has changed dramatically.

And now that my last class is through......I come home to THIS!?!?

I had all but given up hope but Come on CAL!!!! come1 on11!!! uoshdiuhasfoihd!!!

Of course he's not going to be like, well yes, pay me more and take me to the acc i'll leave memphis in a heartbeat.

4/10/2006 4:11:53 PM

we need to hold him hostage here until he signs the contract.

fuck waiting for him to decide.

4/10/2006 4:11:53 PM

This did not deserve it's own thread you asshat.

You average 2 posts per day, get the fuck off the board.

4/10/2006 4:18:21 PM

i think this is threadworthy

it is notable news on a reputable site instead of somebody's cousin billy bob spilled his beer and the wet marks kinda look like the letters CALNC

4/10/2006 4:19:07 PM

has a nice ring to it.

Considering it was in the Calipari thread before here, why does it need it's own thread?

Not to mention the thread title makes it seem like a done deal, which is misleading.

Lock this shit up.

[Edited on April 10, 2006 at 4:20 PM. Reason : x]

4/10/2006 4:19:57 PM

im about to walk around campus and see if hes here yet

4/10/2006 4:20:19 PM

I doubt he's going to be walking through the brickyard

4/10/2006 4:20:48 PM

If we get Calipari, our student section is going to be named the Caliban


(Someone said it on scout.com. Beautiful )

4/10/2006 4:21:19 PM

I hope they don't take him to the Brickyard. Not till he has signed.

thats true, actually Cal, avoid campus, stay near the fairgrounds area.

he just wanted all of the calipari talk to go into one thread, to bump the thread's post count

4/10/2006 4:26:15 PM

If it had a better thread title, I wouldn't mind so much. As it is, if you want a summary, you could have posted in the 'official' thread and you would have had your links in a minute or so. Stop being dumb ass woody.

4/10/2006 4:26:38 PM

OMG 2 MILES BEFORE HE'S HERE

The RBC cam shows the hockey rink is up and not the basketball flooring


Not that it matters... still just as impressive


Also, I'm listening to Memphis sports talk radio here at work. They're talking like he's already gone, FWIW. Basically talking about who they should hire next, who's to blame, etc.

Two idiots have already called in and said if Cal leaves..they need to go hard after Gary Williams.


Ahaha. Riiiight.

I agree except college park and Maryland's campus is pretty nice.

4/10/2006 4:41:00 PM

there comes a point when information in a multi-page thread will simply get overlooked or lost
this is when a new thread for new exciting information is valid

its not a stretch that we have reached that point
