I was told on Jan 3 2009 that Cal was going to Kentucky By a Texas Booster.
I told him at the time that there was no way, we would match anybody. He informed me that it was a done deal and to be a matter of fact about it he told me Cal could not turn them down and trust me it was NOT because that was his dream job. I am putting together a time line of events that I watch played out before our eye's and will post on here once I am sure I have the FACTS right. If I am right we will be very glad a certain recruit has gone to Kentucky with him.
And just to save some post it WANT be US on probation it WILL be Kentucky
Okay, I'm game. Any idea when you can get this together?
Did it take place on a grassy knoll in Dallas?
Well, it was a "Texas" booster....

My friend I know a lot of things but unlike some I'll only put out what I can back up. Sorry if you have a problem but its your problem not mine
But you start a thread full innuendo without backing that up?
What do you mean I'm not backing it up I told you it was not only said to directly to me but I lost a 500 dollar bet
The only timeline that matters:
March 26, 2009 - Missouri beats Memphis in the Sweet 16
March 27, 2009 - Kentucky fires head coach Billy Gillespie after two seasons
March 31, 2009 - Kentucky hires the previous Memphis coach
April 7, 2009 - Memphis announces the hiring of Josh Pastner as head coach
October, 2009 - Memphis begins practice for the 2009-10 season
There you go.

Are you sure? I didn't hear anythng about a contract offer?
Because they got turned down by their top guys in the feeler stage.
that's incorrect
Convincing argument.
And none of us "BELIEVED" UPSTigers when he said a booster said that CAL was being talked to by UK MONTHS ago!! 
If I tell you an Arizona booster is talking to Josh Pastner right now and he goes there in three years, that doesn't make me right.
Just to clarify, and God knows the original post won't die, it was the first week of March when my banker (UK alum and booster) said the boosters, not the school had talked to Cal and than anything was possible. I said this originally and I meant it, HE WAS DEAD SERIOUS.

Thanks for the clarification, I didn't read the original post and according to bigtigermike it was said months ago. It isn't unreasonable to think UK was putting out feelers via boosters as early as the first week in March. I was under the assumption you said this happened significantly earlier than that.

You are correct it was the beginning of March not months ago.....that was the same time that many felt that CAL didn't seemed himself
Is this the same Memphisslim that I used to play basketball with? hmm... prolly not.
I think it is the same Memphis Slim that used to post on the Grizz site. From what I recall, he was a very reliable poster. Just my two cents.
So what you are saying is that you know something we dont know, but .. ., you are not going to post it until you have more proof ...
If you never get more proof you are never going to post it?
Why not just wait til you get more proof and post it all at once?
the only point of this 'preview' of your expected post is to either stir the pot needlessly or to call attention to yourself ..DELETE this thread and post when you are ready to "reveal the truth"

Ok in one instance you said "I'll only put out what I can back up." The next instance you say "what do you mean I'm not backing it up I told you it was not only said directly to me but I lost a 500 dollar bet." Well, saying "someone told me" is not backing it up any more than if I said "someone told me Pierre Niles is an alien life form."
So basically you put out a bunch of info in your original post that anyone could have said with no factual support. Then you say you don't post things you can't back up with facts. See the contradiction?
Also, if you could learn the difference between the word 'want' and 'won't', I would appreciate it. Once is a typo, twice is a trend.

There is no such thing as "complete anonymity" on here. Just ask Angela Bennett.
Anyone heard anymore about this since early today???
What that a reference to the movie "The Net"?

One thing that backs you up and I posted this last week was there were too many rumors coming out of KY about Cal I'm convinced this all started a couple of months ago and Cal was only waiting till we lost to make the announcement. EVerything else was just posturing.
There was nothing wrong with him taking the job, I expected that to happen one day. How he handled it and continues to handle it is what's bad.
Ok..dying to know about this.....suspense is killing me!

If you watch the tape of the missouri game... Once the comeback was within reach, 2 bench techs back to back. pushed it out of reach. I was told by Gary Parrish (in person) the day they left for the sweet 16 round. that it was a 50/50 that he wud go to KY. that was before gilispie was fired. cmon with the conspiracy! we have been played by the best playa there is... though i cant blame him... i can still hope all of that "karma" stuff he sold us for years finds him in KY.

While my gut tells me Cal should be successful at his new gig, the fans there will slaughter him should he achieve anything less than Final Fours given all his hype...Karma is ready and waiting for him to slip just a little...we shall see, won't we?
Where you at Memphisslim?
Someone might one to check on him. Maybe a hitman got to him to "shut him up" before his big conspiracy story got out. He could be pushing up daisies or swimming with the fishes.
I'm kidding, i did want to hear the end of this story to see what he had to say.
We need a video still of Slim's front door
Still nothing?
