Comments on: Memphis Crying, Kentucky Sweating http://dukereport.com/wordpress/2009/05/28/memphis-cryingkentucky-sweating/ Beyond the Headlines Tue, 20 Jul 2010 12:03:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Gabriel http://dukereport.com/wordpress/2009/05/28/memphis-cryingkentucky-sweating/comment-page-1/#comment-371 Gabriel Mon, 08 Jun 2009 20:43:24 +0000 http://dukereport.com/wordpress/?p=317#comment-371 Okay, first off, this is the second school left with violations right after your "great recruiter" left abruptly. He got a free pass the first time and will probably get one again, although I think where there is smoke, there is fire. Obviously, in Kentucky, you are too desperate to not be a dead program (which you have been for a while now) that you are willing to ignore the violations (plural) and just hope for the best. You will likely wind up in a world of hurt since you are a big name program and this will be his third violation (think Indiana with Kelvin Sampson or Michigan with the Fab 4). I think he will be getting a lot of attention since his point guards were borderline not even qualifying academically and they both made it with Calipari. Makes you wonder. As for the beating us, when do you play us? I haven't seen a matchup in the last several years, but then again you didn't even make the tournament last year. Why do you even think we are rivals? You haven't done anything interesting in play against us since the 90s. We are the winningest team of the decade and have the coach who led the US to the gold and will likely do it again. You have a coach with 0 championships after firing a list of coaches who were going to "save your program". Oh and this time you have one with questionable methods. That last part is the only reason we are even mentioning your worthless school. Okay, first off, this is the second school left with violations right after your “great recruiter” left abruptly.

I wonder if Memphis and Calipari will get the same pass that Duke and Coach K got? Time will tell........ Hmm, this sounds remarkably like the Corey Magette incident, doesn’t it?

Might want to think about your credibility and lack of information, it will only hurt your internet posts as bloggers and internet reporters gain validity. Good luck though!

You guys are about ready to get the crap kicked out of ya and you can't stand it and can't do anything about it other than speculate about something Cal obviously had no control over. Face the fact...we would have beaten you without Wall but now the victory will be so much sweeter knowing a kid from your back yard is why point the defecit will not just be double digits but possibly 2X what you have on the score board at the end of the game. CATS ARE BACK and WITH A VENGENCE!!! Dookie dookie dookie.

What could he have possibly done to prevent another human being from doing (or not doing) something unethical in another part of the country?? Why doesn't the writer of this Puke Report get that? The SAT taken by a high school player in Chicago has nothing to do with a coach in Memphis. Your hoping for this scenario doesn't make it so. Yes... your dislike of Calipari is putting it mildly. As a parent, are you responsible for your adult child committing some heinous crime 400 miles away? Why should Calipari be given a citation?

You guys are like vultures, swarming around the internet, just waiting to read one bad article about UK Basketball. Once you find something, you all like to tear into it like it's a dead dear carcass. These funny comments are an example of this. Once this occurs, my hits go through the roof. I love it and my advertisers love it. It's all about knowing who's buttons to push...which is mainly yours :) It's not personal, it's just business.

Untill today I really didn't realize how little the U-Duke was... Oh well, Duke should get used to taking a beaten from Kentucky. Go "Wildcats" Wow… where are all the Duke fans?

Begs the question...why? Sure, you can say "Cal is dirty" but the only reason all this hate has risen is because Cal is a great recruiter and will win. If Cal was just some other coach with a shady past, none of you would care. But no, he's a big time coach at a big time program and you hate him--us--for it. That's fine. Just be sure to watch Wall in action and I can only PRAY we meet you in the NCAA tourney. Singler? Now there's a joke...

What about the Corey Magette situation? Dont remember that do you? Your 2001 final four disaster loss to UCONN SHOULD BE VACATED, but yet the ncaa does not apply the same rules to your beloved dukies. Magette admitted to taking the money, which is bush!! Really?
