Worst tragedy: the worst i have seen! Kentucky veteran fans loved Gem publicly humiliate the whole team with social media messed post” the act set ablaze in the whole….
By the time John Calipari departed, Kentucky fans were prepared to throw him out of the state, but now they’re angry that he brought some former players with him to Arkansas. It goes without saying that Calipari has a strong NBA record. While at Kentucky, he generated 25 lottery selections.
Now that he’s at Arkansas, some of those former Wildcats are traveling to Hog Country to catch up with their former coach.
The most notable example is Tyler Ulis, who left the Kentucky coaching staff to work for Calipari as an Arkansas assistant. However, Ulis made a reasonable decision given that he has a fantastic coaching chance under Calipari and should improve
However, Kentucky fans couldn’t stomach the photo they saw Wednesday morning of former Wildcat star PJ Washington. He was in Fayetteville with Calipari and wearing Razorback gear.
PJ Washington in Arkansas garb? That’s cause for nausea among the Big Blue Nation. After all, PJ Washington enjoyed two incredibly successful seasons as a Kentucky player and had a big hand in beating the snot out of a couple of Arkansas teams.
This absolutely feels like trolling,” one Kentucky fan, Ben Wilkins, said in response to that post. “Never saw (Derrick) Rose or (Chris Douglas-Roberts) in a UK shirt… BBN didn’t claim them as our own just because we got their former coach. So things like this just seem to be out of spite. Still love ya both though.”
Interesting. Wilkins argues that Calipari never brought his old Memphis and UMass players around Lexington when he was Kentucky coach, so now, why is he bringing Kentucky guys to Arkansas? A guy named Matt agreed with Wilkins that this was a troll job.
You’re exactly right,” he answered. “I feel like this is a move to upset the fans that chased coach Cal away.” One fan expressed their displeasure by posting a video of a guy puking, and another user responded with a gif of Tony Soprano screaming, “you’re dead to me.” And PJ’s loyalty was toast, according to several comments.
Kentucky fans clearly don’t like seeing their beloved former stars now wearing the clothes of a conference rival, even if they’re just stopping by to say hey to their former coach.
