Kentucky Fans Betrayed By John Calipari’s Latest Social Media Post

Kentucky fans were ready to kick John Calipari out of town by the time he left, but now, they're upset that he's brought some former players along with him to Arkansas.

Calipari's NBA track record goes without saying. He produced 25 lottery picks at Kentucky, and now that he's at Arkansas, some of those former Wildcats are making stops in Hog Country to visit with their old coach.

Tyler Ulis is the most obvious example, since he left the Kentucky staff to follow Calipari and become a coach at Arkansas. But that's an understandable move for Ulis, who has a terrific coaching opportunity under Calipari that ought to better his career.

However, Kentucky fans couldn't stomach the photo they saw Wednesday morning of former Wildcat star PJ Washington. He was in Fayetteville with Calipari and wearing Razorback gear.

PJ Washington in Arkansas garb? That's cause for nausea among the Big Blue Nation. After all, PJ Washington enjoyed two incredibly successful seasons as a Kentucky player and had a big hand in beating the snot out of a couple of Arkansas teams.

"This absolutely feels like trolling," one Kentucky fan, Ben Wilkins, said in response to that post. "Never saw (Derrick) Rose or (Chris Douglas-Roberts) in a UK shirt... BBN didn't claim them as our own just because we got their former coach. So things like this just seem to be out of spite. Still love ya both though."

Interesting. Wilkins argues that Calipari never brought his old Memphis and UMass players around Lexington when he was Kentucky coach, so now, why is he bringing Kentucky guys to Arkansas? A guy named Matt agreed with Wilkins that this was a troll job.

"You are spot on!" he replied. "I feel like this is a move to upset the fans that chased coach Cal away."

Another fan posted a video of a guy puking to show their disgust, while one dude replied with a gif of Tony Soprano saying "you're dead to me." And many commented that PJ's loyalty was toast.

Kentucky fans clearly don't like seeing their beloved former stars now wearing the clothes of a conference rival, even if they're just stopping by to say hey to their former coach.
