Kentucky lost the best 3pt shooter in college basketball so they reloaded with the best 3pt shooter in college basketball. That’s what’s up. 👍 #BBN

Louisville made the right hire because I don’t know many coaches who would make the effort to walk campus and beg students to attend. And you just have to do that now if you’re Louisville to get a decent home environment.

A couple weeks ago, we launched a campaign to hang a billboard outside of the NCAA Eligibility Center so that their employees could see it every day on the way to work. Kentucky fans raised the money in less that 4 hours. BBN is like that!. Today, the billboard is up!! #FreeBigZ

Alright, f*** it;. John Calipari put a hard *stop* to Kelly Craft abusing her relationship with UK basketball by USING Oscar Tshiebwe in her failed campaign for Governor,. which was always the right thing to do, protecting his player,. and *THAT* “burned the bridge.” 🙄 #BBN
Calipari burned bridges with multiple boosters on his own with his actions . There are some complaints of his that have some validity. But this definitely isn’t one. He did this completely to himself . The new coach will have all the NIL they need.

Kentucky fans wanted Cal gone,.Calipari spared UK a $33 mil buyout,.He offered Tyler Ulis a job,.Tyler Ulis took the job. Cal took a pay-cut, Ulis took the only job he was presumably offered. How does this situation make anyone a traitor or a sellout? Why we angry? 🤔 #BBN

Coach Cal is still a pretty great dude. No ill will or jealously, calls Pope the perfect hire and says he’ll still be rooting for us. 🙂. “I’ll be rootin for ‘em, I want Kentucky—c’mon man, I gave 15 years—gave my heart and soul. I want them to do well.”

Let’s get one thing straight, though. I will support whatever coach is at Kentucky next year as well as whatever players we have on the team. John Calipari or not. I’ll watch every game and love every win and hate every loss. That’s me. #BBN

Maybe I’m part of a small club but I’m just not booing Cal. I want to win by 20 when we play, but it’s all respect. His era is as important and legendary as any in Kentucky’s history. He did good by us, and hasn’t uttered a bad remark at us since he left. So I won’t. 🤷🏽♂️ #BBN

I think Cal wanted to retire at Kentucky, think it was always his plan. Kentucky ran him out of town. For worse or better, that’s what happened. I don’t understand how people can beg for him to be fired then be furious when he leaves. He didn’t “betray” us, he let it go. #BBN

Here’s how I think it will go (long tweet):. John Calipari will return. The announcement will come with or be followed by a very humble, very sincere press conference speech or video from Calipari just leveling w/ the fans, committing to making things right. Staff changes will

Last time that Justin Edwards went to Knoxville it was on a visit to Tennessee, when they were going all in recruiting him. The next time he went to Knoxville he dropped 16 and 6 wearing Kentucky blue, and left town with a big, fat dub. Funny how it goes. 😌 #BBN

Two important truths I think every Kentucky fan should understand:. 1. Kentucky basketball is so, SO much more than John Calipari,. 2. But John Calipari is a BIG part of Kentucky basketball, too. UK basketball is the sum of its great coaches, players, & fans. All of ‘em. 💙 #BBN.

Not sure Justin Edwards ever got credit for his quiet but important minutes against UNC. 8 points & 6 rebounds in 12 minutes against a top 10 opponent is extremely solid. He played the 2nd least minutes of anyone, and made them all count. Props for a great game. 💪 #BBN

Mark Pope didn’t win every recruiting battle, but in 3 weeks time he stepped into a rebuild situation & put together both a top tier staff & competitive roster. Even now, he is flying state to state to state working to finish out the team. Expectations = exceeded. 🔥 #BBN

Mark Pope is a former player & great dude who LOVES Kentucky,. which is why giving him an interview is borderline cruel…. He’s just not the caliber of coach we need; fiercely negative fan reactions toward him is the only thing that will come of this. #BBN
