Thank your lucky stars you all did not get BCG as headcoach

[BleedsBlue]

I am not going to air dirty laundry over here, but suffice it to say there are reports coming out from locker room and off court actions that would indicate it was time for him to go whether we have a replacement for him or not.  I am sure some of it will be leaked eventually, but I would not want Arkansas to go through what our players had to go through.  We are right back where we were 2 years ago.  Tubby left with no coach ready to step in.  The obvious names are out there:  Donovan, Capalari, and even (gulp) Ford.  Stay tuned.  The circus has come to town in Lexington. 
I did post one instant in the "Hire Gillispie" thread if you want a for instance.  I am sure this is a soap opera for you guys.

I think most people would agree that when Kentucky basketball is good, the SEC and NCAA basketball as a whole benefits.

I hate it for the Kentucky fans. It has been my experience that UK fans are classy, basketball-savvy people and you deserve better.

As do we.

Could we interest you in an Unforgettable?

Looking like Ford could be your man.....

Is Richie Farmer available?

Hang in there WilsonHog.  I am sure UA is keeping a keen eye on Mike Anderson.  If Pel has another season like this year's I am sure the heat will be turned up.  I am not sure anymore what the heck is going on in Lexington.  Some of the leaks coming from within makes you wonder why UK did not perform a due diligence on Gillispie before hiring him in the first place.  Just be glad we hired him instead of UA.  Pel may have issues, but no comparison IMHO.

Too involved in politics with no coaching experience.

You didn't meet the UK fans at the SEC tournament back in 1995. I still shudder from that final game and their fans throwing stuff at those of us in the Hogwild Band.

But other than that, I agree.

I am sure there are Hog fans just as bad.  However, I have found the great majority of Hog fans to be some of the best in the SEC.  Until you joined the SEC if UK did not play no one showed for the games.  UA and UK fans carry the SEC in basketball.  Love having you guys in the SEC.  I have always been treated well at Hog games...just sayin'.

I understand. I was just saying that in my experience thay have always been classy people.

I hate to hear that they did that to you guys. I got nothing but love for the Hogwild Band. Back in the 80's and 90's, that band rocked like no other.

Ah Danielsaan, the answer to UK's problems resides in Fayetteville...........

[MNHogFan]

Dickie Nutt could be the answer to UK's problems.

[PoormansRobbyHampton]

For what it's worth, our current coach can win with whatever BCG left behind, if that interests you at all...

[CollinsvilleHawg]

Good grief!  Do you really think getting rid of Pel is the answer?  GO smoke some more weed...

[PoormansRobbyHampton]

I mean it couldn't hurt. Who oversaw 2-15 last year? He's far from safe in my opinion.

I am not happy with the season, but come on. 
If we dont let him get his player and style going, we will mirror the success of the football team in the 80's after Hatfield.  You cannot build something if you dont give it some time.  And 2 years is not enough time.

And I agree. I wasn't crazy with my expectations this year, but I didn't expect the worst Arkansas SEC record in history.

I thought 5 or 6 wins would be a nice year and we'd bring in some good recruits. As it happened, we won 2, one of which occured the day after Alabama fired their coach, and got blown out routinely at home, on the road, wherever we played.

Then, recruiting has been ok at best, certainly not enough to keep up with the rest of the SEC.

Then you throw in the fact that the SEC was as bad as it's been since we joined up. Add all of that together, and you've got a lot of unhappy people in Hogland, and justifiably so.

Now, I'd be ok with hiring BCG, because I think he's better than Pelphrey. Built UTEP and A&M into good programs, and as bad as he "underperformed" for lack of a better term at Kentucky, he still won 12 SEC games last year, and 8 this year, with an NIT bid.

There's no question that BCG would be an upgrade over Pel, just depends on whether we have the ability, or the motivation to make such a move.

[Hawghiggs]

This from a Kentucky fan.  I'll bet Louisville fans would tell us that we don't want Coach Petrino either. I would have taken Billy G. two years ago before he screwed us to go to Kentucky and I'd take him now over what we got. I'd rather have Mike Anderson but I'd take Billy G. sometimes the pressure of a place will get to you.

You and Pel have some things in common, another season by Pel like his last, and more post by you like this one, and neither one of you will be around here much longer.

[Big Papa Satan]

I am sure this is a soap opera for you guys.

Don't feel bad - we're very familiar with soap operas.

Oh yeah out former football was a soap opera to end all.

We dealt with the Nutt family for 10 years.  You Cat fans didn't pay your dues only dealing with it for 2.

memfuss & calipari are eliminated last night and kentucky creates an opening the next day. coincidence?

Trust me no you would not want Gillispie.  Mike Anderson, yes.

Amen, bro...

So you're saying you shouldn't sleep with one of your player's girlfriends?

[heathtits]

You're thinking of Snyder. Rumor has it that BG putts from the rough.

[Boarcephus]

Trust me no you would not want Gillispie.  Mike Anderson, yes.

Wonder if UK would make a run at Mike?

[deshahawg]

I'm loving all of UKs problems. I hope they see another 2 years and fire the next guy.

What do you mean due diligence? Barnhart knew about Billie G's two DUI's when he called for the interview!

[Ouachihog]

I dont think a team thats 2-15 should be counting any "lucky stars".

I agree, that was my thought.  Almost like "yeah if we had hired BCG we might have had one of the most terrible years in SEC basketball history." 

Oh wait...

[donewithdale]

UK is dillusional per Ft Worth Star-Telegram.  I tend to agree.  BCG didn't wake up weird in Lexington.

http://www.star-telegram.com/sports/columnists/gil_lebreton/index.html

Typical blame the fans for the coach's failure. 

[want2be]

BG will get back to a predominant football school where he does not have to be in the limelight 24-7.......probably T. Tech..........and he will have a chip on his shoulder to prove himself again.

I think Kentucky is going to throw a potfull of money to Izzo

Oooh, okay.  I have no retort other than to dismiss it as ignorant.  Thanks.
