If that were the case he would not have accepted them a UK.

You're not a miserable. I'm not a miserable. I just call a spade a spade. He's a liar. Plain and simple.

JP to EB:

"See that chubby guy over their talking to the media, that's John 'I need attention' Calipari. He needed to be here so he could be the story while you were here. Stealing your shine. Pity. Thinks he's bigger than the game.

Let's just do this. Eric, go ask him how much better than you he thinks John Wall is. When he doesn't give you an answer, but instead talks about you 'owning your performance', you tell him you're going to own HIS performance. Tell him you aren't second best to anybody. Cause you ain't.

Then come back over here, sign this LOI, and let's get it on."

Can't the organizers tell him to get the f out?

It will catch up to Calipari- it will.

Remember, he brought Pastner in for a reason. Calipari knows JP is going to be a force to be reckoned with.

I feel the exact same way. See ya Jack, and don't come back.

He said that Coach Pastner knows he tried to get them to stay.. I wonder if we ask Pastner if that is true what would he say.. Also on the Jim Rome show today he said it would be easy to recruit the top players at Ky.,basically saying it was hard here..He says also in the interview here today that it took him 4 years here which is correct and then he told people at Ky. it might take 4 years there, when he did his presser accepting the KY. job,(he doesn't believe that for a minute). It better not take him that long or he will be hung out to dry, especially with the talent he will have..

Love Kristin Tallent!!!!!!!

Him calling people miserables now sounds as if he has a condescending tone or was I just tone deft before? I got it...his act was getting old. He got out before we realized it.

Wow, now that I have heard his side I feel much better. I know he really tried to get all of the recruits
to stay, he truly agonized over his decision and did not try to blow up our program.

Any good that he was responsible for during the last 9 years was erased by his actions in the last 30 days.
I am a native Memphian, long-term fan, and graduate of the University. I truly hope that the Karma that he talked
about during his time here is real, KY contiues to be as irrelevant as they have been the last 10 years before they
attempted to buy our program, and he is looking for another job real soon. RIP cal, we are moving on.

"I did everything I could ... "

Everytime this guy speaks about Memphis he digs himself a bigger hole. He really just needs to shutup and get the EFF out of this city. He is DEAD to Memphis. He has the audacity to sit there and still call people miserables??? Why does he even go there??? Just shutup and get out of Memphis you scumbag. You lieing piece of garbage.

What a well polished, yet still slimy, turd.

He did the "for sale signs" schtick, again. He had an idea of how much he was loved. He has no clue of how he left has left him so loathed. Bye John.

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. He hasn't seen miserables until he loses in Lexington. Just wait Johnny boy. And one more thing- Pastner does have better hair.

Way to own your performance, Cal. Que te vayas, pues.

I'm sure that four year scenario doesn't pop up in Cal's sales pitch to Bledsoe.

"There's a chance we're going to be mediocre for your four year college career, but you'll be fine. Ask Antonio Burks."

**** that cracker

I thought it takes a village to do what he was doing!
Not just his Derby ticket friends!!!
