My favorite part of Dan Shaughnessy’s article is that he can only look to the President of the United States as a “better job” after Kentucky. Love it.
BECKYB: Another useful idiot of the UK Fan base which gets everything back-asswards. Here is the quote, “Cal never leaves fingerprints. He makes a clean getaway, then steps into a better job. If he wins the national championship at Kentucky, he’ll probably be President of the United States by the time the Wildcats are forced to vacate their Final Four.” Now what the hell is lovable about vacating a final four appearance? President of the United States, not a respectable job since Wilson put innocent people in jail because they disagreed with the war. Bill Clinton, Richard Nixon are they a better job? GET REAL BECKY B read the entire article.
How do you spell sarcasm ?? Cal For President !!!
Wow, Dr. Rick, you have some real anger issues. My reading skills are just fine, and I did read the entire article. I was simply pointing out the fact that Shaughnessy ripped on Calipari for always creating scandal and then moving on to a better job — UMass to the NBA, Memphis to UK. But if the same thing happens at UK, Shaughnessy couldn’t name another [i.e. better] basketball job for him to move on to. I thought that was funny.
Is that laid out simply enough for you?
