Dusting off this thread as it's as close a match as any, but this strays WAY off the basketball court...

Calipari on Twitter today:
Had a great time talking today with UK alumna Tiffany Ge, who is the Legislative Director and General Counsel to Senator Mitch McConnell.
https://twitter.com/UKCoachCalipari/sta ... 5617810440

Maybe that's one you keep to yourself, Cal.

While McConnell won pretty easily in the KY Senate race last November, his popularity rating nationally is pretty bad.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epoll ... -6672.html

McConnell won just 15% of the black vote in that election. He also prided himself on blocking President Obama at every possible turn. Obama carried 93% of the black vote in 2012. McConnell is currently getting in the way of letting voting rights legislation come to the floor of the Senate for votes.

When your UK roster (last year's) is 88% black, you're not doing yourself any favors by doing photo ops with a close strategist to one of the primary villains in African American politics.

Your response was the epitome of making something out of nothing. Some folks here really think they ride a high horse and are actually brainless.

Practice what you preach.

So, when Coach Cal wins a seat to the House of Representatives, do we have to call him the Honorable Coach Cal? :lol:

IV, don’t you know just talking to a sitting senator who happens to play for the “wrong” team is evil? 😁

A little Cal news...

Clarion State, where Cal played his final two years of college ball (after UNC Wilmington), named their court after Calipari.
https://clariongoldeneagles.com/news/20 ... pt-21.aspx
https://gobigbluecountry.com/watch-clar ... -calipari/

It's a little odd that they called it Coach Cal Court, when he never coached there, but whatever. Apparently he has been generous to Clarion over the years, as he has been to UMass.
“We are so grateful for the leadership and philanthropy that John and Ellen have shown Clarion University over the years,” said Clarion University President Dr. Dale-Elizabeth Pehrsson.

Twitter has plenty of negativity about Calipari tonight, after UK lost pretty much start to finish at Missouri tonight, 89-75. Easy to find posts from people who want him gone.

That's hilarious.

Who are they going to get instead?

BBN is spoiled rotten.
