Wait a minute, didn’t Kentucky go through a point shaving scandal quite awhile back, like around the 50;s or 60’s or something like that. Oh, I almost forgot the payment to recruits in the 80’s also. What’s that pasta, these FACTS make you look like a gay porn star!! You’ve been caught cheating before, it will happen again, just wait.

Cal clearly had the better team? Are you insane. More NBA players from KU were on that team, it didn’t have the best player in the land (Rose) and it still beat down Memphis with a TEAM effort. CDR was a joke, nothing buy hype from playing inferior CON USA competition, Dorsey a wanna be thug. You think Cal will bring Kentucky back to the top and he won’t. You have to be able to coach young kids to play right, DDM is not teaching them anything but one on one principles, pathetic. And DDM was stolen from a JUCO coach!! What great coach has to copy a JUCO team to win!! I have many relatives in Kentucky and I would like to see them on top again, but I’m sorry it won’t happen with former JAYHAWK assist John Calipari. One more thing, you say Cal has not been CAUGHT with violations, well, this new one at Memphis ain’t done yet, so there’s still a chance. I hope it’s all clear for him, just so I can rub it in your face when we PWN Kentucky for the NC. And in Rupp, just like we did without our best player at the time, Wayne Simien. And please come back to Allen Fieldhouse, I love seeing us win by 30 or 50 pts when the Cats play here, lol. The WORST loss in Kentucky history, baby, at KU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do you all care about this kid soooooo much he is on eplayer for one year and will not turn a team around. Michael beasley has not turend Kansas State into a power house so lance will not do that either because he is not as good. Th kid is highley6 over rated and is probably soon to be a convicted sexual assaulter.

This is how I remember it too: Kansas controlled the game, Rose took over the game (and was clearly the best player on the court), Kansas adjusted, Kansas won.

Calipari stared at the court wondering what just happened.

Not sure if you remember, but KU lead and controlled that championship game for thirty five minutes. It wasn’t until Derrick Rose rattled off four straight buckets in the last 7 minutes that Memphis grabbed the lead. Look what happened in the overtime(granted we had all momentum), but the beginning of the game started the same way. Coach Cal can’t even hold Bill’s nutsack when it comes to coaching. The better team/program/coach won that day.

The root of this scandal is Wesley. Someone posted it the other day, Wesley, and others like him, should be considered boosters in the future.

Duke? Zags reported months ago that Duke, Kansas and UNC had all pulled out of the Wall derby (probably due to the Clifton situation). This was even before his arrests.

We had to go through this nonsense with pastaboy on one of the Memphis boards around the time of Bledsoe’s recruitment. It’s just on and on, the guy is relentless and generally full of it. He demands you state facts when debating with him, but his responses contain things like “generally accepted” and “very telling”. Stuff like rumors that were started by someone Xavier himself said he didn’t know are allowed to be facts for pastaboy’s arguments because they support his BS, but rumors from the people who broke Cousins leaving UAB become “laughable” since they would tarnish the “#1 Recruiting Class” shine. When all else fails and you continue to disagree that makes you a “hater”, but outside of LaLa Land (where pastaboy resides) that just makes you a realist. X isn’t going to Kentucky, we all know this, too many actual FACTS and statements from him and his family do not support this, but pastaboy doesn’t want to hear it so for your own sake I’d say let the fool ramble on and ignore him.

As for Cal, I’m a blue-blooded Memphis fan and as much as I would love to say this is all his fault, given the information available I can’t see how Cal or Memphis were complicit in this conspiracy and I don’t see why either would have known Rose cheated. The only guilty parties I see are Derrick Rose and the NCAA Clearinghouse….of course neither of those parties will be punished or blamed because that would get in the way of a good story, but that’s the reality of the world we live in. I also don’t buy into the stuff that the NCAA is out to get the non-BCS schools. Let’s be real, Indiana is one of the storied NCAA programs and they got hit with violations akin to a death sentence, the NCAA has shown they aren’t afraid to take any school down, Kentucky would be wise to keep this in mind.

really a 30 foot shot? Wow sounds like the legend of Mario grows by the years or you just have no idea what you are talking about. Also Cal clearly did not have the better team…because they didn’t win. No one gives a rip what “most insiders” think because that’s why they play the game. Sports history is filled with the teams that should have won.

You can back Cal all you want, but I will happily keep supporting the “stiff” coach who is a great coach and great man. You can keep the used car salesman. We in Lawrence love Coach Self.

LOL. “Cal wasn’t interested because of his academic status”. That has to be the quote of the year.
