Cal gives Cats a whooping at Rupp ! 89-79

10 points ain't exactly a whooping, but a double-digit margin is certainly a big FU to all the haters who ran Cal out of Lexington.

Serves them right. Got them to multiple Final Fours plus a Natty and they boo him.

Fun seeing the Rupp faithful head for the exits down 14 with several minutes left, and nice to see Bruiser on the bench.

Bruiser looks like he hasn’t aged a day.

Not for nothing, but Cal was a victim of being Cal. You can only go so long without delivering top end results acting like he does before people grow tired of his schtick - especially in a blue blood school like Kentucky.

Umass followers would be dripping wet with those results - Kentucky (rightfully or wrongfully) has a higher bar.

There are actually not many truly coaches right now who are as good as Cal and Pitino - great motivators, recruiters and X/O guys. They burn out because even at their advanced level, they cannot do it every year.

The days of Knight or Kryzewski (sp?) or Dean Smith doing 20-30 years at one place are gone forever. A really great coach might get 10-12 years. A really good coach will probably get 6-8. That is just today's game - Mark Few may be the exception in today's game.

Anyone read the CHB article from the weekend? Classic Shank piece, listing his moves if he was in charge of sports for a day. Of course one of his moves would be to remove the Cal statue from Umass. Dude still holds a grudge.

In this era of dying journalism, it's really amazing that a guy like that, who keeps going back to the same tired takes, still has a job. Like really, who wants to keep reading that shit?

Reminds me of the 90s movie The Paper and the editor's (Robert Duvall) rant about columnists:
I hate columnists! Why do I have all these columnists? I got political columnists, guest columnists... celebrity columnists - The only thing I don't have is a dead columnist. That's the kind I could really use. We reek of opinions. What every columnist at this paper needs to do is to shut ... the fuck ... up.

I vividly remember that hack Ron Chimelis too. He got a hair across his ass because he could not have special access to Cal since he was a big deal for the Springfield Newspapers. After that he went on the morally superior rants about Cal whenever he had the chance. What a tool... a "sports writer" who never played a sport beyond grade school rec in his entire life, but claimed to be an authority on D1 College basketball......

I know the writers of newspaper stories don’t select the headlines of their stories. I wonder if the same applies for pictures that go with stories. There are two (2) pictures that are enclosed in the CHB article ; Rick Pitino and Liam Coen……maybe a UM person getting last word….lol
