Josh Pastner vs. John Calipari

Tiger....way to take some good natured ribbing, and turn it into something else.


I WAS JUST JOKING WITH YOU.




I have some UK friends/fans on this board (not you, UKSmith) that I know are rockin' it today, and I'm glad for them (not you, UKSmith).

Fixed it for you.

It's a gift...

I must have missed the punchline....

I tend to think of you as more of my doppelgänger.....

Now go be happy...we can duel later...and good win by the Cats! (ouch that hurt!)

Calipari just set the bar very high for Pastner.

That's no different than before.

Fair or not, Pastner has been measured against Calipari from day one.

The bar is now one notch higher, but I doubt Pastner sees it that way. However, since he has broken Calipari's other records at U of M, I'm hoping that he is able to beat this one as well.

That being said, I know you are a happy camper Paul, and as a long suffering Cats fan, and considering all the crap you've put up with since I've known you, you have to be (and deserve to be!) thrilled with this title!!!

Really, I'm happy for you!

Now, let's hope that Pastner can do the same!!

you have to be (and deserve to be!) thrilled with this title

Thrilled is an understatement.  You should feel these nipples.

They should declare this week NHO week in Lexington!

Yes Paul, enjoy this National Championship. You're going to be middle-aged the next time you get to celebrate.

Sonny, whoever you had an avatar bet with should have just let you pick anything but the one you had. They could have went easier on you. Just a blue square would have been better than the puke thing.

Yes, I know..............disgusting.  *vomits*

Now go be happy...we can duel later...

Nope. No need to anymore.


Take care.

Mustard is the key ingredient.  My dad would order cheese krystals without the meat......weird, I know.

In college after a night of heaving drinking, my buddy and I went to the Krystals on Poplar across from East Highschool (in Memphis) and when we pulled up to the window the lady started throwing our food at us.  She then started yelling at us to leave because they were getting robbed.  We drove up, and sure enough, 2 guys with ski maks and guns were robbing it (I have pics to prove it).  We got our meal for free, but sadly no drinks or dipping sauce.

Dropped my coffee cup, barely missed my keyboard! LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO!!!


That is a classic Memphis story if I ever heard one...


Ranks up there with that one about the lady leaving a beauty salon on Park Ave. and seeing two guys in her car. She pulls her gun and threatens them..they take off running...she gets in the the car and looks for damage...then tries to start it. The key doesn't work because IT'S NOT HER CAR!

She runs back in to the beauty salon and the cops show up...it's takes them an hour to sort out what happened...classic Memphis!

My Memphis story isn't as good. A friend of mine that I graduated High School with went to Ole Miss to play baseball for them. Anyway, I drove down there to pick him up, where him and I and his girlfriend (from memphis) flew out of Memphis to Florida for our Freshman spring break. This would have been March of 1985. Anyway, after a night of partying on Beale street, we flew to Florida for almost a week. I left my car and car keys at his gf parent's house (who lived in Germantown). I accidently parked it  under a Sap tree. So when I got back, my car had sap all over it and her parents weren't even cool enough to move my car out from under the tree................uncool.

Haha......there are so many good (as in pathetically funny) Memphis crime stories.  My buddy and I still laugh about it to this day.  It took us a minute to figure out what was going on......we were sloshed, and the woman was too fat to get out the drive thru window (she tried).


For the record, no one was hurt in the robbery.

Actually, that is funny, because it seems that every other tree in Memphis drops some kind of sap, and like a tornado to a trailor park, it ALWAYS finds it's way to your car...especially if you just washed it!

Rumor has it that Pastner is going after Rodney Hood, who's transferring from Mississippi State. He averaged 10.3 points and 4.8 rebounds per game last year as a starting freshman.

This could be the recruit that the Tigers need to seriously compete in the low post next year.

Hood will be courted by everyone, but Memphis is the best fit for him. Let's see if Josh Pastner can land this final piece for next year's team.

Go Josh Pastner!

Rumor has it that Josh Pastner isn't the only one going after Rodney Hood. 

FYI Hood is a 6'7 200lbs (soaking wet) SG/SF.  How again is he going help the Tigers compete in the low post?  And how is Memphis the best fit for him?  Seems like Memphis hasn't been the best fit for anyone since Cal left.

I see that Geron Johnson and his multiple arrests and multiple dismissals from JCs will be a Tiger next year.  I guess Pastner didn't recruit all that well this year, huh?  Otherwise, why would he ever take a chance on a kid with this track record?

I saw 6'-8" and 224lbs. for Hood...where'd you get your info?

He averaged 4.8 rebounds per game, which isn't bad, and the Tigers need rebounding.

As for the rest of your post, your bait isn't worth taking...and you call yourself a master baiter....

Well, once again Pastner has a top 25 recruiting class with the addition of Geron Johnson. Let's hope that this was a good addition and the kid stays out of trouble.

Next season should be proof that Pastner can do things right. If this roster of experienced players, plus three new high quality freshman, can't make some noise in the NCAA tournament next season, then Pastner may find himself on the hot seat. Personally, I think the pieces are in place for a memorable season!

Go Tigers, and Go Josh Pastner!!!
