[Moderated by Matt Jones, Drew Franklin and Tyler Thompson]

This game is so big that even our old pal Billy Gillispie is weighing in. Gillispie went on a Lubbock sports talk show and said that the Kentucky/Louisville rivalry was “100 times more heated” than the Texas/Oklahoma rivalry and that “Kentucky fans would want to run all the coaches out of town and get rid of all the players” if they were to lose.
Don’t believe me? Listen here.

I’m suprised he wasn’t sleeping off a round of night golfing.
March 28th, 2012 at 2:48 pm

March 28th, 2012 at 2:49 pm
Whatever you say, BCG.
March 28th, 2012 at 2:50 pm
I know many UK fans who would have rather have lost to Baylor than lose to UL in the Final Four….so I really can’t say anything bad about this.
March 28th, 2012 at 2:50 pm
I absolutely can’t stand Gillispie. I wish he would just crawl in a hole and not come out. What a waste of oxygen!
March 28th, 2012 at 2:51 pm
he also added “i’m too drunk to taste this chicken”
March 28th, 2012 at 2:52 pm
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CARRRRRRREEEEEESSSS WHAT THAT LOSER SAYS!!!
March 28th, 2012 at 2:52 pm
Coach Gillispie, the last time you & me were side-by-side somebody stepped on my tongue.
March 28th, 2012 at 2:53 pm
No but we’d run them out of town before they went 8-23 on the season. Oh, wait, that was BCG’s record this year?
March 28th, 2012 at 2:53 pm
Who’s Billy Gillispie?
March 28th, 2012 at 2:55 pm
Then he said the next round was on him…
March 28th, 2012 at 2:56 pm
Not sure if this has been on the site yet but here is a video of UK Celebrity fan Josh Hutcherson talking about the Cats on CONAN http://teamcoco.com/video/josh-hutcherson-kentucky
March 28th, 2012 at 2:56 pm
Hoof Arted!
March 28th, 2012 at 2:58 pm
I hate to say it, but Billy’s right. If we lose to UofL, then Cal has to go
March 28th, 2012 at 2:58 pm
Doesn’t he mean all of the twenty-something walk-ons he took in?
March 28th, 2012 at 3:01 pm
Who pulled G’s string?
March 28th, 2012 at 3:01 pm
FU BCG, you stupid drunk
March 28th, 2012 at 3:01 pm
Lol..I remember when he was first hired,the Bbn thought he was the savior after running Tubby out of town! A few years later they ran him out! Uk fanbase, smh I wonder if Cal is next when the cards pull off the upset!
March 28th, 2012 at 3:01 pm
Davis is only 50% healthy. Should be enough to be the tards though.
March 28th, 2012 at 3:03 pm
I just went to billygillispie.com just to see what was there and it actually took me to a pretty cool Kentucky site. What’s up with that?
March 28th, 2012 at 3:03 pm
Yeah what’s the status on Davis?
March 28th, 2012 at 3:03 pm
18: The only problem is, the Cards will not pull off the upset Saturday. They are far inferior. Good ride for the Dirty Birds, but it comes to an abrupt stop the first time AD swats Dieng aside.
March 28th, 2012 at 3:05 pm
Billy G is drunk. He’s mixing up UK fans with Alan Cutler
March 28th, 2012 at 3:05 pm
BCG really doesn’t get it. That’s why he isn’t here anymore. Cal gets it. That’s why UK fans have his and this teams’ back.
March 28th, 2012 at 3:08 pm
Irrelevant losers need to STFU
March 28th, 2012 at 3:08 pm
BCG was biggest mistake in UK history….
TAKE THAT YOU TOWN DRUNK!!! GO AWAY!!!
March 28th, 2012 at 3:08 pm
#4, only an idiots would choose to go out in the elite 8 rather than the final 4. You might think about switching friends.
March 28th, 2012 at 3:08 pm
Losing to UL won’t get you run out of town…but losing to Gardner-Webb will.
March 28th, 2012 at 3:08 pm
I hate to say it, but Billy’s right. If we lose to UofL, then Cal has to go
———————–
I say your sorry arse needs to go. Pervert.
March 28th, 2012 at 3:10 pm
Cal will be fine either way. More titles and FF visits will soothe the burn of a loss (unlikely as that is).
March 28th, 2012 at 3:15 pm
Ah Billy, the man who thought a team should be satisfied with an NIT quarterfinal.
March 28th, 2012 at 3:16 pm
Why didn’t he put Eddie Sutton on the phone after he made these comments to get Sutton’s perspective?
March 28th, 2012 at 3:17 pm
This is stupid. Lose or win, we love Cal. He’s taken us to places no other coach in America could have over the past few years. If we keep knocking on the door, we will get #8 much sooner that #3 will come to the tards…
March 28th, 2012 at 3:20 pm
If there were ever a man that knew about loosing
March 28th, 2012 at 3:21 pm
4. You are either a bold face liar or an idiot. Or both- which would make you a tard fan.
March 28th, 2012 at 3:23 pm
Actually listening to the interview and BCG says a LOT about how great UK is and how he hopes they win it because he wants the best team to win and that he really loved his time at UK. Now…he is still BCG with every answer pretty much starting with “I don’t know…”
Radio guy actually asked him if he had any investement opportunities in horseracing. BCG also says how he loves horseracing…(aka gambling?)
Also says “It isn’t fun to get beat as many times as we got beat.” when talking about his first season at Tech.
Good interview for a tough person to interview. I really look back on his time here and I am just sad at how it turned out. For UK of course, but for a man who really wasn’t ready for that job.
March 28th, 2012 at 3:25 pm
He’s wrong. Beating the Cayuts means nothing to me
March 28th, 2012 at 3:27 pm
18. You’ve been asking that question for three days and haven’t gotten the answer you’re looking for. We like Cal; he has had great success so far. He has as many FF here as your coach does at UL. It took Pitino six years here to win the big one; Cal has only been here for 3. If people expected him to be bringing us #10 right now, that’s unrealistic. People have a higher standard for him than they do for other coaches. Why is no one talking about Thad Matta right now?
Either you are trying to make us not trust Cal or you are waiting until you get the one answer that you can copy/paste onto CardChronicle.
March 28th, 2012 at 3:28 pm
people are blowing this omg what if we lose to u of l thing a little out of proportion. the fans would be disappointed for a while until they remembered we have cal and will prob be in a great position to win the championship again next year. shabazz and nerlens would def help soothe any pain that would come with a final four loss
March 28th, 2012 at 3:29 pm
#14 WRONG. Regardless of the next game or 2, I’m very happy with the status of BBN and PROUD OF OUR PLAYERS AND COACHES.
BCG “doesn’t get it”
March 28th, 2012 at 3:30 pm
Some one told me that Pitino said that if Kentucky loses to Louisville that that fences will have to be bilt on all the bridges in Kentucky to keep people from jumping off them.
March 28th, 2012 at 3:30 pm
at this point i just feel sorry for him
March 28th, 2012 at 3:36 pm
If we lost the next game (which we won’t) or the final game (which we won’t), this has still been the most fun i have ever had watching the Cats play all season long. Cal is here for as long as he likes as far as i am concerned. The BKG years were boring at best. No comparison to Cal as far as fun factor for a fan. Can’t wait till saturday afternoon. It’s gonna be fun watching the tard fans pile out of the dome by the hundreds, with about 10 minutes left in the game. Smack talk now tards, because saturday we gonna blister datazz. Red feathers (or orange if they match those uniforms) will take days to sweep up out of the dome. Make sure Porcini’s is open for business on tuesday, cause 15 second Ricky is gonna need a consolation prize.
GO CATS!
March 28th, 2012 at 3:38 pm
^ BCG, see i already forgot
March 28th, 2012 at 3:39 pm
*hiccup*
March 28th, 2012 at 3:44 pm
#41- They don’t havenear enough funds to put fences on all the bridges up here in No. Ky…..soooo, it’s clear sailing up here into the Ohio River !
March 28th, 2012 at 3:46 pm
That was great to hear Billy G in this interview. It really reminded me what a douche he is and how lucky we are that he’s gone. The guy is still clueless and will never get it. Texas Tech is going to regret the day they hired that train wreck.
Now keep our name out of your filthy mouth…
March 28th, 2012 at 3:50 pm
I disagree with Billy, but I never hated him. He was just a bad fit. Some of the finest people I know have drinking problems. As for CRP, we know Rick can be a great coach when he is at the right place. He just needs to keep his mouth, zipper, and wallet closed from time to time. Some of the finest people I know are sex addicts.
As for what’s important, our current coach is fantastic, I love our team, and if they lose in the final four, we’ll just have to wait another year. But I do like our chances…
March 28th, 2012 at 3:53 pm
no one can run as fast as you Billy Boy….
March 28th, 2012 at 3:55 pm
#20 I think someone must have forwarded billygillispie.com to their own site. Great idea by them, and that site is well done.
#22 I couldn’t agree more.
#45 that’s funny.
March 28th, 2012 at 3:55 pm
BCG demonstrates yet again that, while he understands our passion for The Game, he completely whiffs when it comes to understanding our love and appreciation of the young men that play for KentuckY. No matter what happens come Saturday (and/or Monday), the UK-faithful and ALL of the True BBN will forever LOVE these young men for the way they play The Game. MKG, AD, TJ, DLamb, DMill, MT, and Co. play the game it was meant to be played: AS A TEAM. Which many, most if not even ALL national sports-writers also fail to get! No matter what, we love these kids for their heart and passion and love of The Game. (The coaches??? Well, that’s another story. BCG just might be right about that one. IF…IF Coach Cal and Co. whiff. We will have to give them the what-for as they would deserve it.) Go KATS!!!
March 28th, 2012 at 3:56 pm
Sounds like he was VERY VERY happy for the cats. He was VERY VERY VERY excited for his friend Bill Self. He VERY VERY VERY much didn’t enjoy the Kentucky Derby. He is VERY VERY VERY much looking forward to verbally abusing his new recruiting class.
March 28th, 2012 at 4:01 pm
Nice, Billy said something correct
March 28th, 2012 at 4:01 pm
Sour grapes make sour wine, Billy. Just because you got run out of town on a rail doesn’t mean every coach would be. It’s just that, well Billy, you seem to suck real bad.
March 28th, 2012 at 4:03 pm
Dont understand why you guys are being so hard on #4. If I had a crystal ball abd it said we were going to lose to the cards in the final four, I would rather just have lost to WKY, Iowa St, IU, or Baylor. Most if you are way to young to remember 1983 and dream game 1 in Knoxville in the elite 8. Still not over that loss. Worst loss of my lifetime. I have to always hear from card fans how they won that game. This would be 1000000 worse trust me. This is an absolute cant lose sitiuition.
March 28th, 2012 at 4:10 pm
All I know is it took two years to long to run Billy g out of town. Does he think anyone from KY would care what that moron thinks.
March 28th, 2012 at 4:17 pm
I thiiink dat Dey will buuuuuurp!! Anna nutter ting burrrrrrp pass me my ah ah ah burrrrrrp drink. No ociffer I have not beeeen buuuuurp drinking. What a jackass!!!!
March 28th, 2012 at 4:26 pm
Odd for BCG to say that since that is exactly what we did with him, we ran all of their coaches out of town and a big portion of his team, what was it like 8 or 9 players were told to go elsewhere? Not including committed recruits who decommitted.
There was some criticism for Cal doing this but you can’t expect Cal to succeed with players who can’t get the job done, he can’t hit the shots and play defense for them.
March 28th, 2012 at 4:33 pm
Who is Billy Gillispie?
March 28th, 2012 at 4:33 pm
Billy ran himself outta town, drunk bastard. Learn how to coach.
March 28th, 2012 at 4:47 pm
NO … Just you you drunk dumb ass NIT son of a bitch
March 28th, 2012 at 5:42 pm
If you’ve ever been too drunk to fish, you might be Billy Gillespie.
March 28th, 2012 at 5:50 pm
Yeah, no.
Cal is the man either way.
March 28th, 2012 at 5:53 pm
Everyone is on Billy Clyde’s case,,,he is such an easy target. May I suggest everyone should be on the case of the AD that hired him.
March 28th, 2012 at 7:20 pm
Anyone seen my BCG?
March 28th, 2012 at 7:22 pm
#28…Right on, right on…
March 28th, 2012 at 7:43 pm
At the end of the day I do not even matter.
March 28th, 2012 at 7:53 pm
WWEWD? Forgive him and hope for a Cats victory on Saturday
March 28th, 2012 at 8:43 pm
Win or lose this years team is awesome. Other two teams under Cal were awesome. What a great time to be a Wildcat. Thrilled Cal is coach no matter what.
March 28th, 2012 at 9:08 pm
This arrogant, self rightous jerk really needs to shut the &^%$ up. His contribution to UK basketball regretfully speaks for itself. He needs to concentrate on Texas Tech and leave the real basketball teams alone. Still cannot we were all duped into thinking we had gotten a real winning coach when he was hired. He may be the biggest blemish on this program and that includes the Sutton-Casey-Mills situation and even the Bill Sivey fiasco.
March 28th, 2012 at 10:10 pm
A certain eyewitness told me a few years ago that he witnessed a certain coach who hailed from Texas doing more than the two step in the back seat of a car in a down town Lex parking lot. This is not the only crazy story I have heard. But, that being said, after Billy Clyde lost to podunk U, I knew the AD made a huge mistake. My biggest suprise was tha the AD was smart enough to ask a former player to reccomend the next coach for hire, who happened to be my first choice all along. Go Cats….and by the way…I think all the 18 yr old girls are a little safer in Lex now that a certain coach is not in town any longer.
March 28th, 2012 at 10:27 pm
The only thing to be said to BCG is – give back the $3 million you extorted to not coach and then blew on a scam. Cal has been great but you do wonder how Barnhart survived after hiring him.
March 28th, 2012 at 10:30 pm
The George W Bush of coaching.
March 28th, 2012 at 11:05 pm
Look at it this way. Putting up with BCG for two years set us up nicely to hire Calipari. Now we have the best coach in college basketball. How coach Cal doesn’t get mentioned for national coach of the year the past two seasons are beyond my me.
March 29th, 2012 at 1:51 am
Louisville’s good, we’re better. Frig off and E.A.D. Bout it bo! I mean cooooooooooooooooooooooome oooooooooooooooooooonnn!
March 29th, 2012 at 1:52 am
Where’s Matt Vaughn when you need him?
March 29th, 2012 at 8:31 am
Louisville SUCKS,always have,always will…
March 29th, 2012 at 9:41 am
Run you out of town even quicker if you don’t even make the tournament and lose to a bunch of jr varsity teams to boot.
March 30th, 2012 at 11:44 am
Was he sober when he said that?
