I really hopes he gets a Natty before he retires. Or at least a chance to play for one. I know I'm biased because he's our coach, but I just hate seeing a coach with his winning record not have a chip with it or at least a chance to play in a game for all the marbles.I hope Barnes coaches long enough to get to 900 wins. Would be a great story to begin next season, with the current active winningest coach.
Is it just me or is Arkansas looking close to falling apart like they did last year but for different reasons. Cal is telling mostly guys he’s not coached before and all lured by NIL$ to “listen to me - I’ve got the answers”. They lose a couple more and it could get ugly there again this season.May catch Cal this year!![]()

I’m not sure what their message boards are saying, but if they’re anywhere close to ours after even one loss, I would imagine a lot of the fans have somewhat gone off the rails. With the way Calipari assembled some dang good talent I’m sure fans had renewed hope and optimism. If losses keep piling up, that place is going to feel like a nuclear wasteland.Is it just me or is Arkansas looking close to falling apart like they did last year but for different reasons.

It would be something if Rick ended up with more wins than either of them when all is said and done.Correct me if I’m wrong, but…
Calipari: 813+11=824
Barnes: 806+16=822
Self: 806+12=818
I hope he coaches long enough to get 1000. He could do it in 6 more years after this year winning about 28 games a year! I hope he has the drive and ability to be at UT at least 7 more seasons!I hope Barnes coaches long enough to get to 900 wins.

…eeesh. Not sure I’d wish that path on anyone. I’ll chose to savor this season and keep an ear to the rail regarding the future. His Will be done.I hope he coaches long enough to get 1000.

Agreed. I just can’t imagine Self not eventually passing even if Barnes rode off with a healthy lead.It would be something if Rick ended up with more wins than either of them when all is said and done.
I’d love if he could be the winningest active coach the day he coaches his final game. Hopefully with 900+ wins and a natty to his credit.
It is pretty much unanimous amongst their fans that they love the addition of Jonas Aidoo.I’m not sure what their message boards are saying, but if they’re anywhere close to ours after even one loss, I would imagine a lot of the fans have somewhat gone off the rails.

Self had that weird health scare a little while back. And we have seen the current portal/NIL climate push coaches into an early retirement. You never know who might hang them up next. Of course that goes for Rick too.Agreed. I just can’t imagine Self not eventually passing even if Barnes rode off with a healthy lead.
