Coach Cal’s late night message to the BBN
Wonder what Coach Cal did last night? He filmed a video for the Big Blue Nation, of course.
In his message, Cal said that what he wants people to take away from this win and season is that young talent can share, sacrifice and put together a championship run. As I listen to talk radio this morning, that seems to be what the national media is finally realizing, and recognizing Cal for.

It’s gr8 to be f1rst!
18th!
Does this guy ever sleep? Take a nap, you have more than earned it coach.
Thanks for #8 coach!
Cal did 3 goggles in that quite a few times.
why are you hashtagging on a media that isn’t hashtag-searchable? just because it’s the cool thing to do? #quitbeingamoron
Congrats Kats! BBN. Coach Cal. MKG. AD. Darius. Doron. TJ. Marquis. Kyle. And Crew! You all deserve it!
How did this man not win coach of the year? 38-2 National Champs and they give it to Bill Self who lost 10 games(1 to Davidson!) and we beat TWICE. what a joke!

Hate to be a party pooper, but does anyone else get weary when he says “I’m tired?” not that he shouldn’t be, but there could be double meaning there?
why is there an asterisk next to the 8?
You went too far #10…
#9 – yes, I guess there could be a double meaning. I’m tired=I don’t want to coach anymore=Why does my life have no purpose=where is my hangman’s rope when I need it?
Do we know if he left his hotel room this morning?
Basketball never stops, and neither does Cal’s recruiting pitches.
10) The asterisk reads “Suck it, h8ers.”
No, really why is there a star by #8 on the t-shirt
9 – Think about how long he’s being going after this. All that weight off his back. Carrying that around for years, I’d be tired too.
Did anyone else hear that clip of him saying his next goal is to have an undefeated team and win it all? I think he is here to stay, don’t worry about it.
9- shut up….just enjoy #8!!!!
#12, I’m just saying he might leave/retire at UK. I wouldn’t take it that far. Us crazy UK fans has to get old sometimes.
its on the shirt. and i am a fan 13. im just wondering.
#16, loving every moment of it!
We love you Cal. You deserve all the support you get. Keep working the last of the one and done non believers are gone. ITs all you now man keep winning we know you can. We know you can get good kids and make them better on and off the court. BBN has nothing to worry about you have fully restored the program. Now you can really enjoy no one 2nd guessing you.!!! Amazing
Work
10 – Look at the reverse side of the shirt. It says that the #8 represents the # of NT’s Kentucky has.
Honestly, I love everything he is saying. But I also just wish he would/could savor it a little more, enjoy it for himself. I wouldn’t begrudge him that at all.
no kidding twenty one. i was just wondering about the asterisk next to the 8 on the front.
2nd biggest day in UK history…right? Seriously, thank you Ms T for your significant contribution to this basketball season. With your ever steady posting, for expressing how you and the BBN felt during the season, you were the constant wind beneath our wings. Hope you’re not a one and your saying will now be always present with the BBN, WE GOT THIS!
i get it i guess. still think its kinda weird.
22. It’s a front. I can guarantee when the cameras are off, he is ecstatic and celebrating with his family. He wants all the attention to be on all the kids now though.
He gets it … and he got his.
26, I hope it’s a front, coach needs to enjoy this!!
I think Cal took more personal enjoyment out of this than what he states his policy of “doing it for the team”… He is very slick and you know he wanted this just as bad as we all did, and I am glad he and the team and BBN accomplished the mission they set out to do at the beginning of the year. It was a hellava ride this year and possibly my most enjoyable year ever on the sidelines. My only slight regret is that the Cats didn’t make a statement 2nd half like they did the first. Several times this year we would let our opponent back in and actually beat us in the 2nd half and the same happened last night. The national scribes alluded that we “held on” to get the win, and I was hoping we could have buried them after the half. If we can get these next couple of recruits on board we should be in a good position to get #9.
Cal just gets it.
BBN loves ya Coach…thx for all you do!
If you are a top recruit why would you want to play anywhere else except Kentucky? There is no doubt that Cal and UK right now has a Kentucky effect. How else can you explain that 6 players from one team could be drafted. How do you get kids drafted who average 13 points a game and shoot 11 shots a game?There is no other program that is getting the exposure that UK is and it has a big effect on NBA execs.
Example of typical uk fan: “we want #9!” c’mon guys it’s been less than 24 hours since #8. I want #9 too, but let’s celebrate #8 some more!
Even though he hasn’t “been here,” he is still trying to act like he’s “been here.” You know, with poise and humbleness. Just like he has taught his kids from day 1.
I hope he writes a book about this past year. I think we could all learn a lot from this team!
Congratzzz Coach!! and Team!! This song is for you. Representing yall in the right way!

I loved it last night when Coach Cal said he told Davis at halftime not to force shots just because he hadn’t scored. And then he shoots first 3 shots of second half. Davis says,”I was open” Cal says” you were open because you were 1 for 10″. Not special treatment no matter who you are. I was screaming at the TV for Davis to quit shooting because it was just not his night on offense.
All the trolls and haters will start their rants about cheating, vacating titles, and garbage ad nauseous in 3, 2, 1
Davis should have had a lot more points or at least free throw attempts. they were absolutely HACKING him in the post. Self definitely told his guys to HURT the UK players. look at the way they went at MKG. some of those fouls should have been flagrant 1’s or ejections… Doesn’t matter though because even though the Cats played 8 on 5 UK still won!
Nauseum
38. let ’em. I’ll just continue to laugh as we stack up #1 recruiting classes, final fours, and national championships. 🙂
39, I usually give people the benefit of the doubt, but they were really beating up on MKG and AD.
Front of Shirt: 8*
Back of Shirt: * Eight time National Champions
No conspiracy theory there. The 8 on the front of the shirt looks like a uniform number until you read the fine print on the back that denotes the meaning.
42. Seriously! Only conclusion I can draw is that they were COACHED to do so. Just as they were coached to trash talk before the game…
Thanks Coach! BBN is happy for us and we are happy for you too! Enjoy it, you have earned it!
Greatest coach in the land.
Noel will look nice in blue next year, want a ring son? Come to UK
#1 COACH EVER!!!! Congrats to Coach Cal and the team. Big Blue Nation is sooooo proud!!!
It’s been said many times before, but this video is further proof, that Coach Cal, “Gets it!”. Not only does he “Get It”, but I truly think he relishes what it means to be the basketball coach at the University of Kentucky! How many other basketball coaches would tape a segment to the fanbase, from his hotel room like that? Answer=None!
23 – look at 43s post. That is what iwas trying to say.
Thank you .
