Reed Sheppard and other former players show Calipari support after Arkansas’ victory against Kentucky

Reed double loss on his decision after the game when he explained his outfit:

“Many people are not happy, but they know that this is my trainer. I played for Cal. I have the Kentucky shorts. I am a Kentucky boy. I’m for Kentucky, but Coach Cal is my trainer, so I also pull for Coach Cal. Somehow I thought (an Arkansas shirt with Kentucky shorts) would be fun. Three of my teammates also played for Arkansas, so I talk to you every week … I also speak to the coaches. I still watch Kentucky, so I wear them both. “

By sharing the baby, he separated several hearts from Kentucky fans. You could forgive a player from California or New York that she did not fully accept the Majesty of Kentucky Basketball with blue and white during her nine months? The same guy whose parents both played in Kentucky and grew up in his room with wildcat posters?

Et tu, raw?

Calipari is a dynamic personality and it is understandable that the guy who takes you into battle in your college basketball glove will trigger a certain loyalty that regular fans can not tell. But Reed Sheppard gave Arkansa’s social media a festival that was used for eternity was a lot of stomach.

Tyty Washington, Jacob Toppin and Davion Mintz give Cal a cry after the game

Former university of Kentucky Calipari player, Tyty WashingtonMade the biggest waves on the X Saturday when he did not send so cryptic contributions: “Cal now understands it” and “went into the trap and took over the trap”.

Big Blue Nation was enthusiastic and flooded his comments with shock and disapproval messages. Washington’s former teammate, Jacob ToppinWashington’s statements soon published statements with an expired stamp of support and approval.

Davion Mintz also gave his former coach a shoutout, although it was with a much less brand. He simply wrote “nice victory coach”, but as you might suspect, the frustration has not been suitable for a feeling of understanding of commentators immediately after an emotional loss. In response to a flood of engagement sticks, Mintz followed: “We can’t have any sportiness now?”

Uh, did you meet Big Blue Nation, Davion? Of course we can’t. Not in this game. No less than an hour after the last summer. Give us a day or two anyway. My goodness.

The three players re -adopted each other’s comments and showed solidarity with their congratulations on Calipari. Washington ended the night with an olive branch to Kentucky fans and said: “Man, her damn funny. All love over here. “

Kentucky fans can be as forgiving and persistent when it comes to things like that, but these comments have certainly not helped the stereotype that too many of Calipari’s former players spent the time in Lexington.

One can certainly say that Sheppard, Washington, Toppin and Mintz lost some social media followers and, above all, some respect on Saturday evening.
