Check out the UK sched for 2010-11. MUCH worse than this year.

Check out the UK sched for 2008-09. MUCH worse than this year.

Seriously, this is nothing new. Off years with UofL and UNC always had this “bad” slate of games in Rupp.

Last year he had an amazing team. This years’s team is weaker at every position (still lots of talent), and is much younger — they will need more time to come together.

In reply to Richard Loehn.

I almost wrote that in a tweet yesterday regarding this topic. To me, it’s not so much about earning the luxury, it’s about changing your tune once you get on the other side of it. I understand the motivation, but that doesn’t mean I have to agree with it.

UK fans will defend anything if it’s their guy (I remember the hate mail for pointing out that Gillispie’s strategy of recruiting 13-yr olds was a bad one — guess what, it was), but that doesn’t mean this is actually beneficial to their fans. I know more than a few Lexingtonians who buy season tickets who are a little miffed that their best home game all season long comes down to Florida or Baylor. That’s great if you’re Mississippi State — not if you’re Kentucky.

It’s all about making Calipari look good. It’s all about recruiting, as well. If he can pad that win streak with all those cupcakes he can tout their home win streak to the young impressionables and further the gloss that rides just over the underlying sleaze. And when the NCAA gets to looking yet again it will all come tumbling down. Again.

When Cal was at UMass his motto was anyone, anywhere, any time. He has earned the luxury of now being on the flip side of this

Calipari scheduled two preseason Top 5 teams at Rupp for non-conference last year. Yeah… he’s so concerned about protecting that home win-streak.
