In several interviews before monday nights game Cal said the key to the game would be Willie Kemp and Doneal Mack. hard for them to make a difference when they don't get off the bench. Look at the minutes played by CDR, Rose and Anderson and it isn't too hard to figure out why they missed those fts and made that turnover. Physical exhaustion leads to mental exhaustion. We had timeouts and didn't use them. It is the job of the Head Coach to be the level headed and calm presence when there is chaos going on in the game. Cal became a wild spectator during the game. yes I know that is his style. Then if that is the case you need to have a lead Asst. Coach that has his ear and can play that role. Apparently either no one else on the sideline tried to tell him or he didn't listen. A timeout before or after Rose's fts to give the guys their final instructions and to give them a much needed breather would have made the difference even though the lack of substitutions throughout the game made no sense. Both Mack and Kemp made great contributions throughout this season albiet they were up and down at times. Cal had little to no patience with them and quick jerked them around alot this season. Who's to say that if CDR, Anderson and Rose get 3-4 minutes more rest in the game they make those fts and don't turn it over. Guess we will never know but I would much rather have my guys strong at the end of the game not cramping up and bent over double from exhaustion. Cal got away from that which got him to the dance. he talked all season about our depth. Heck I think Jeff Robinson could have contributed a few a minutes. Lord knows he is athletic and that game was tailor made for him. anyway, I'm done talking and thinking about it. On to next year. Great season and a greater group of kids. I will miss watching this team. I wish all of them the best.

I just want to say one thing: Mr. John Calipari, who has posed as Savior of the World, is nothing else but the world's seducer, its destroyer, its incendiary, and its executioner. I guess I should start by saying that Mr. Calipari would not hesitate to instill distrust and thereby create a need for his disloyal views if he felt he could benefit from doing so. I, hardheaded cynic that I am, can repeat with undiminished conviction something I said eons ago: You may make the comment, "What does this have to do with damnable so-called experts?" Well, once you begin to see the light you'll realize that we should not concern ourselves with his putative virtue or vice. Rather, we should concern ourselves with our own welfare and with the fact that Mr. Calipari exhibits an air of superiority. You realize, of course, that that's really just a defense mechanism to cover up his obvious inferiority. Let me put it this way: unlike Mr. Calipari, when I make a mistake I'm willing to admit it. Consequently, if -- and I'm bending over backwards to maintain the illusion of "innocent until proven guilty" -- he were not actually responsible for trying to relabel millions of people as "nasty", then I'd stop saying that it's Mr. Calipari's belief that my letters demonstrate a desire to spam the Internet with unsolicited abusive, muddleheaded junk e-mail. I can't understand how anyone could go from anything I ever wrote to such a recalcitrant idea. In fact, my letters generally make the diametrically opposite claim, that Mr. Calipari accuses me of being a liar. The only proven liar around here, however, is Mr. Calipari. Only a die-hard liar like Mr. Calipari could claim that his decisions are based on reason. The truth, in case you haven't already figured it out, is that I am reminded of the quote, "A great many thoughtful people share my concerns about him." This comment is not as rabid as it seems because some people say that that isn't sufficient evidence to prove that Mr. Calipari is secretly scheming to make life less pleasant for us. And I must agree; one needs much more evidence than that. But the evidence is there, for anyone who isn't afraid to look at it. Just look at the way that prudence is no vice. Cowardice -- especially his mawkish form of it -- is. Mr. John Calipari's scornful viewpoints have led to more, not less, scapegoatism in our society. Since I don't have anything more to say on that subject, I'll politely get off my soapbox now.
Dude take your meds please and move on. Its time for the Spring Game.

From my point of view, Cal gave Kemp and Mack opportunities in both the UCLA and Kansas games and they didn't get anything done offensively and were burned on defense, so they didn't stay in very long. If they had been somewhat productive or even able to hold the score steady as it was, Rose and CDR could have got a bit more rest. Andre being unavailable was huge, and I don't know why Robinson didn't play.
Can you dumb that down for me, please?

Here are a couple of versions:
Cliffnotes Version
Cal should have used his bench more. He is an idiot for not doing so. I am smarter than Cal.
Caveman Version
Cal no bench. Him stupid. Me smart.

Ugh! Wheel suck. Bottle opener suck, too!
Listen 316, you can give Cal credit for the loss if you want, but you damn well better give him the credit for 38 wins also (BTW it happens to be the most single season wins in history) Wake up and smell te roses.
While no statement I'm about to make should be construed as suggesting or recommending that any person commit an illegal act of any kind, you should realize that Tigerdad represents the most recent incarnation of the unique 20th-century phenomenon known as "moonstruck Chekism". If you disagree with my claim that there is an open consensus that Tigerdad's indifferent as to whether his words mean anything or not, then read no further. When surveyed, only two percent of his underlings agreed with the statement, "All Tigerdad wants is to subordinate principles of fairness to less admirable criteria." This is a frightening statistic to those who rely on, or simply support, social tolerance and open-mindedness. No doubt, what may seem insignificant or humorous to him is often hurtful and confusing to others. But he says he's going to erase the memory of all traditions and all history in a matter of days. Good old Tigerdad. He just loves to open his mouth and let all kinds of things come out without listening to how postmodernist they sound. Everything I've written in this letter amounts to this: Tigerdad doesn't believe in the right to free speech, except for people who agree with him.

I am working on translating yours but it may take a day or two.
Wow, I'm just putting in names into a website and it's pumping these things out, but when I read them they kind of seem like they can make sense. I may just use this thing to post from now on so that it makes me look smart.
