Kentucky Basketball has a trust problem

On Friday, we heard from John Calipari for the first time in a month. Normally, Kentucky fans would hang on to Calipari’s every word coming off a season with national championship hopes; instead, I noticed a very different reaction as we churned out posts from Cal’s 20-minute conversation with Dan Issel and Mike Pratt. Instead of “Go get ’em, Cal” and “In Cal we trust,” there were eye-rolls and derision. Thumbs up and hearts were replaced by thumbs down and laughter. Comments sections always reflect the most extreme emotions, but there’s no denying the Big Blue Nation still has a sour taste in its mouth following the disastrous end to the season.
