They will have to vacate the championship in a few years when Calapari's underhanded dealings come to light. just like they had to vacate wins at Memphis and wins and U-Mass after he left those programs. What a slimeball!

Nice jobs Cats. That was a beatdown even though it was not reflected in the final score.

Calapari has never been sanctioned by the NCAA...underhanded dealings?!....Captain 97, you're an idiot. Do your homework before posting that kind of nonsense. Sooner or later you'll have to accept that John Calapari will be honored as one of the greatest college coaches of all time. John has nothing to do with the vacated wins, the NCAA has stated that time and time again.......

Ha Ha, got the Kentucky boys all riled up. I guess the truth hurts :)

You got to let me have my sour grapes. Your Boy Calapari was on the phone with Terrance Jones less than 5 minutes after he commited to The University of Washington. He hadn't even left the press conference yet. Not a lot of integrity in that man as far as I am concerned.

The guy can coach but he is far from ethical. There is a reason he gets 5 star recruits every where he goes and its the same reason that every where he goes the program eventually ends up with sanctions.

Terrance changed his mind when he realized what a mistake he had made. He wanted to play for a national championship, not set home and watch on tv!!!!!!!
I was born and will die bleeding blue so i for one am very happy so let us have our moment.

Cal gets 5 star recruits because he's far from ethical?! That's a good one. Every Div 1 NCAA school has sanctions right now so I guess you're right, as long as he stays in the NCAA, he'll be at a sanctioned school. The previous vacated wins included a student athelete taking money from an agent, the other...an SAT score was voided by a security company that monitors SAT tests because SOME of the handwriting on his ACT test didn't match that of the SAT, what a crock! Neither the SAT, the security company nor the NCAA concluded that the player didn't take the test. The player was stripped of his eligibility because he refused to defend himself in front of the infractions committee. The NCAA ruled against the player because he didn't defend himself, what a joke.

The wins are taken away from the schools, John just happened to be the head coach.

One more thing....do you think John Calipari was the only coach on the phone with Terrance Jones less than 5 minutes after he committed to Washington?! I'd say TJ had Coach Cal on hold while he was talking to Florida....LMAO!

Hey Captain, hate TJ, not Calipari. You'd love to have him as head coach wouldn't ya?!

Dwight, this moment is but one of many to come ;}

Congrats to Kentucky . But being a OSU fan I know that no matter what is said a majority will always be weary of Calipari. We had Tressel gate so no matter how clean the the program may be from here on out there will always be doubters & you can't worry about those.
But if you wasn't a Kentucky fan would you be so rampant about nothing happening? probably not..same with me & OSU. You have blue shaded glasses I have scarlet.
This might help explain why those outside Kentucky may think Calipari is crooked ( by the way I don't).
You see a man walk out of a barn & as he's walking you see a small flame in the loft. No big deal, stuff happens. Few years later you see the same man walking out a different barn & there is a small flame in the loft.
That's why, nothing proven? correct you are. just looks fishy.
Enjoy the title, I would no matter what because even if it does happen to come down in a few years ( which I doubt) you still know you won the game.

Remember the old saying, "it's lonely up top", so don't mind the haters. And nice job SEC being the football, basketball, and most likely baseball champs.
