Kentucky needs to fire Billy Gillispie ....... i dont care when he was hired or how much he is being paid .... he needs to be fired

there is no excuse for the loss to Gardner Webb ..... nip this problem now before you are even further embarrassed

Wow, are you ever quick with the axe. You wanna fire Thad Matta too? After all, OSU lost to a Division II team already this year.

HEY NOW...... We'll have none of this SH!T!.... It was gonna happen if Tubby had been there. It's a young team, new coach, let it alone. This year will be a rebound/rebuild year. Gillispie has the record to prove himself. His first year with a team is rough, it's after that it gets hot. Besides.... we couldn't get much lower... Tubby already did that to us.

One more peep out of you like this and you'll go to the trailer.

OK boys ... I think you all need a trip to the trailer to cool off a bit. If you can't play well together, then you need to go home.

LSC..... Report to the trailer.

I totally agree that Billy Gillispie needs to be fired. I have been watching kentucky basketball for 15 years and this is the worst I have ever seen them play. Sure you can fault tubby for not bringing in top tier talent but when was the last time you saw him get creamed by 41. He used what he had and his guys were always competitive and when they lost it was usually by 10 or less. The Vanderbilt game last night was embarrassing for Kentucky fans to watch. How can you get a 5 second call when then the other team isnt even pressuring you full court????? Well it happened last night and its all coaching with this squad. Billy's offense is all based off Patrick Patterson who in my opinion should go to the NBA next year if Gillispie stays. He lost one of his best shooters in Legion and starts walk ons. When do you ever see that happen?? I mean we are Kentucky not Gardner Webb(Who beat us as well). If people are going to object to firing gillispie just ask yourself one question. Does San Diego State, Gardner Webb, and Houston really get better recruits then us?? The answer is NO and the answer to fire Gillispie is YES.

I'll say it again... and maybe this time is a little clearer. Tubby bailed because he saw what was comin. Gillispie has a proven record, and should not be expected to immediately win and go for titles, especially after the mess he inherited. The Vandy game was comin. Question for those who are countin.... Would this discussion be any different if Florida was the one that handed the Cats the 41 point loss? I think not.
