00:00Here's Calipari. He says, I know what I'm getting when I walk into that place tomorrow night.

00:05You know, I look forward to walking in the building and, you know, as an opposing coach,

00:11I'm the opposing coach. I, in my time, I don't remember them ever cheering an opposing coach.

00:18So, if that, I'm fine. All I know is the fans, they're terrific. They were terrific during our

00:27run. They're engaged. And my guess is they're going to be really engaged on Saturday.

00:35Yeah. And they're going to get their ass beat by Kentucky because, well, look,

00:42Arkansas is awful. Okay. They have not had a good year. They don't look good. They're not good.

00:48He needs more time. The thing with Cal is he's a really good coach. Let's just calm down here.

00:54What happened is, is he got that job and all these idiots in Fayetteville think that he should

00:59win a national championship in the first season. And he got, you know, a taste of, you know,

01:04bringing in some kids that could ball, but he needs at least into 2-3, year 2-3 before I think

01:13you see a significant change in the way things have been at Arkansas. I think he'll win there.

01:22I'm certain of it. And I think it takes 2-3 years. No one just walks in and just starts,

01:28like they all think that you hire these coaches and it's automatic. And that's not the way it

01:33works. It takes time. Now, I don't deny that Dusty Mays done a good job in Ann Arbor with

01:41Michigan, but you know, all these people talking about them winning a national title now because

01:46they haven't, I think they're tripping. I don't think they're winning a national title. I think

01:51they're certainly better. I think they look really good. And I don't think they're even the

01:57best team in the Big Ten at all. So, you know, it takes time. I think Cal will win in Fayetteville

02:04and the people need to chill out. They've already turned on the football coach. So they are,

02:10you know, short fused in Fayetteville. And I think they're frankly a little stupid.
