Cal Gives Madness Hints

by @ 5:49 pm. Filed under Blue Blooded Opinions

The picture above is the new UK basketball poster for the season (it looks sharp). If you go to Coachcal.com, you will see a blog in which he gives his hints about the Madness activities for Friday. He says:

1. He first didnt want it to be a spectacle but he knows the fans do, so it will be.

2. There will be guest coaches that either have ties to Kentucky or are “nationally known performers who are UK fans.”

3. There will be a dunk contest, but it wont be formal.

4. Cal will give a bit of a speech on his “vision” of the program.

5. They will go at it in a scrimmage.

Enjoy.

    ugg, that whole night sounds terrible. glad I won’t be there… :-(

  5. gossie21 Says:

    Do you think the “Viva Azul!” right in the middle of the poster is a shout out to TBK? Man that frosty tips sure does have a ton of inside pull with the program.

  6. segdirb1 Says:

    4. I know, I don’t see what the big deal is… Its only basketball

  7. JkwoFtw Says:

    They screwed up with Orton. Look how short he looks. That’s not gonna help the conspiracy theories.

  8. Big Blue KY Says:

    I like what Coach said in the very last sentence…”it will be, officially, ON.”… gave me chills..

  9. gossie21 Says:

    7. Either that, or my goodness look how Jon Hood has grown!

  10. mocha Says:

  11. HolyCAL Says:

    2. I know, I want one too. I’ve been looking forward to this poster coming out.

  12. mocha Says:

    all mysteriously for crash test dummies…

  13. UKIreland Says:

  14. SagaciousMind Says:

    The poster is ok but I expected somethin better.

  15. tool Says:

    Soleil Moon Fry, what a great special guest she’d be. Her or the dude that played Mr. French.

  16. Cal Purnell here Says:

    Wooo Hooo Season tickets arrived today and Madness is only days away!!!

    Can’t wait to see the Judds :)

  17. IcemanG2 Says:

    I suspect Ashley Judd makes an appearance, via video message or guest coaching. It’s a guarantee that Lebron will be featured in a video message (since Cal said some via video).

  22. Jonah Hex Says:

    I want to see what the new unis look like. He said it was going to pay tribute to the state.

  23. BPsycho Says:

    #22 So they’re gonna have a pot leaf, a Mountain Dew symbol and a confederate flag on them?

  24. bradarmpit Says:

    Coach Cal - ”…it will be, officially, ON.”

    ON = abb. for Ontario, Canada.

    Drake is from Ontario.

    Just sayin’.

  25. ChicagoWildcat Says:

    Let’s all scour the internet for this poster as a desktop wallpaper. I want it too.

  26. lexslamman Says:

    22/23

    Nah, it should a glass full of coal silt, a plug of chaw, a statue of Jesus riding a velociraptor, and a bottle of ranch dressing.

    Because there aren’t very many food items that Kentuckians won’t smother with ranch.

  27. Jray72 Says:

    I just can’t wait. Am I alone in feeling like a child the night before Christmas?

  28. mocha Says:

    remember those old square shaped slices of pizza from high school? those were the best with ranch from a packet on top of them! mmmm..

  29. mocha Says:

    sorry if this has already been asked but i live in cincinnati and thus have NKY channel lineup….other than ESPN2, am I just screwed b/c

  30. UK-Believe Says:

    Cal gaves some hints in his tweets the last few days with “One World, One Big Blue Nation”.

  31. UK-Believe Says:

    @29, most games will be played on an espn station(ESPN,ESPN2,and ESPNU)

    there are quite a few that will most likely be played on SECTV as well as FoxSportsSouth

  32. Ares Says:

    I live in Oldham County where can I get one of those posters?

  33. mdbryant Says:

    For those of us that don’t live in KY and want to watch BBM, any ideas? I know its on ESPNU but they are rotating among 9 programs and 8 of them I dont want to see.

    The University of Kentucky and the UK Athletic Association have settled their contract dispute with former UK men’s basketball coach Billy Gillispie.

    The agreement gives Gillispie $2.98 million. UK also agreed to pay more than $265,000 in legal and mediation fees.

    Gillispie was seeking more than $6 million for breach of contract and fraud related to his firing two years into a seven-year agreement. The suit was filed in May. Gillispie was fired in March.

    A university statement announcing the settlement said that UK “will have no further comment on the settlement agreement.”

    Man these guys are going to be good. I am so fricking excited I can’t believe it. Devan Downey, time to flee to Belize. Kevin Stallings, pack a bag for your second trip to Australia. Roy, get ready to cry. Again. And Ricky, save up your free cash to make sure you can bail out your team before January 2. We want to beat your full team.
