-- they do not understand we would have given him to them for the asking.
I learned the hard way when a coach bails out for a lesser program there is a reason, and it is not always money.
Alabama once had a head football coach named Bill Curry. I had a business associate who lived in Mobile, Alabama and he was a huge Bama football fan. Season tickets, the works. When word came Curry was quitting Alabama for Kentucky I had to call my friend and rub it in. Hey Bobby, we took your coach were the words out of my mouth. He laughed and said call me back in a couple of years. He said Kentucky took Bill Curry but they sure as hell did not take a football coach. Of course I laughed back and said "sour grapes".
Curry turned out to be one of the worst hires in UK history and sure enough, I did call him back to let him know he was right. Damn right. I can see the same scenario with Arkansas. Arkansas did us the biggest favor imaginable.
Thank God for Arkansas relieving BBN of a cancer that was killing our basketball program

I remember Bill Curry and how he sucked. I took my son Fishing on Taylorsville lake one Saturday and our plan was to fish, relax, and listen to UK play Florida in football on the radio. At the end of the day, the fishing went good but we lost 70-7 Yeah, we grabbed a winner.

Revisionist history be damned. Begok was a con man and UK dumped his ass as soon as the opportunity presented itself.

Just a damn shame he couldn’t have went to Ohio St. a couple months earlier. Then maybe we could have won a game or two in march.

It reminds me of the joke the late great Rodney Dangerfield became famous for "Take my wife, Please". Thank you Arkansas!

I remember Curry trying to force Tim Couch to run the option offense. When Hal Mumme came along it was a perfect match between QB and offensive systems. Unfortunately Mumme turned out to be a disaster in the end but those first couple of years sure were fun! Arkansas is definitely in the same boat we were with Curry (and Manny Soda was with Tubby). Thank you pigs! Enjoy having Donut in the pig sty - it's a match made in heaven! Oh - and Go Cats!

Tough to say that ...... when after news broke noone was mad or unhappy actually opposite. There was no crying or even bad words . Fans were happy. That's what crushed Cals ego

Many of my friends and family had dropped out of following UK basketball. Something I never thought I would live to see. Now they are excited again.
Calipari overstayed his tenure of coaching at UK by about 5 years.

Rumpke takes my trash away from me. I'm fine with it. Same with Arkansas and Begok.
