The Goat Pen

Roy as to be to be dumb, first he insists on playing James more than Meeks. Guys dont hustle and get out worked all game, wel when the coach starts two guys worse than two guys off the bench tough to blame them.

Then down by 3 with 30 left he still goes for the three instead of the quick 2, then all they are running around and dont have a play and he refuses to call a time out and piage shoots and off balanced three. He as to go now, get me Smart, he does not coach during the game.

jesus, has basketball season already started?

Exactly.

Wildcats are looking awesome. I can't imagine what this team will be in March.

yea they showed some definite improvement as a team tonight

So what happened? I don't read every thread particularly on the weekend, and particularly when I suspect that 40 new posts are probably all "Fire Roy!" posts. If you're concerned about posts its probably best to send me or ecat a PM.

Rat says something about Onions daddy for like the 100th time

and Onion gets sensitive about it for the 100th time, this time using real names in response with some veiled meaningless threat which due to facebook I am almost immune to and didn't really pay attention to it.

After it was brought up, I went back and edited the posts.

"So what happened?"

nothing much; dog died....

(referencing a skit from the late/great flip Wilson)

Well, Pastner has a win against a top 25 team now, so I suppose he's not a fit for Arizona anymore...sorry, Onion...

How long till Onion makes his annual exit? It only took him a few weeks during football season, probably less time during basketball season these past few years. He's a joke. And his dad has the AIDS.

After Cal goes to the Knicks, Grobe to Kentucky...

From KSR.........


After the game, the New York media grilled Cal about the rumors he may leave Kentucky for the Knicks. That set Cal off on a lengthy rant about how happy he is to finally be at Kentucky and how long he may stay:


“I don’t listen to any of it, and I don’t think my team does. Every year I’ve ever coached, if there was a college job open, I was going there, a pro job, a high school job – I was taking every job going, and I just don’t buy into it. The greatest thing for me: It took me 20 years to get a job like Kentucky. It took me 20 years to get a job like Kentucky. Where guys had jobs for 20 years, it took me 20 years to get a job like this. And then we get the job and all the sudden – you know, we’re doing great academically; we had a 3.4 grade-point average last term; for three years we’ve been a B-average as a team; we’ve graduated 10 players – 10 in four years. So it’s not at the expense of academics, but we’ve had 17 players drafted, nine in the first round, two (#1) picks.

And I’m able to do that, help families, win games and do what the university wants me to do, and all want to do is be about players first. And I want to challenge them and not be afraid to challenge them and put them on a stage. This is like you’re putting them in – I’d say Carnegie Hall – but it’s the stage you want to be on. And I’m able to sit there and say, ‘OK, here we go.’ I’m proud of Willie Cauley. ‘Well, he only gets one-and-done guys!’ No one knew Willie Cauley. Look at Willie. Look at Eric Bledsoe. All the sudden, what’s happened is they come here and they’re able to reach their dreams and change – you’re talking about, I say this all the time: We have kids that are first college graduates in their families, and we have a chance to rectify that; now all the sudden – you have generational poverty; they’re family’s been in poverty their entire existence, and now all the sudden that changes. And I have an opportunity to do that, more than any place I’ve ever been.

And I loved working at UMass. And I loved working at Memphis. This is a different deal on a lot of fronts. So all the stuff about – you just think: It took me 20 years to get this job. Twenty. Now, I’ll say this: I don’t know how long I can stay in this seat and live. I’ll be honest with that one. But right now, I’m having fun doing it. I don’t feel our fans – everyone says our fans are crazy; our fans are crazy, but they don’t expect us to win every game and they don’t expect us to win the championship. They want us to be in the hunt. We’ve won eight in 110 years. We haven’t won 100 in 110 years; we’ve won eight. And so, yeah, they want you in the hunt. They want you in the hunt for recruits and all that. We are. So I think we’ve got the greatest fans.”

Oh, yeah, he's gone.
