Things are really going down hill for ol Billy G. His past is checkered with incidents like this.

he looked terrible on TV last year. like 750ml of bourbon a day, Sean Sutton, can't stop sweating with bulging eyes terrible. not even like the same guy Big XII'ers saw at ATM. not been a great few months for hoops in Kentucky. fallout from Pitino poking the crazy chick and Cal gets exposed for being the cheater everyone knew he was.
about a month ago there were pics of Billy G boozing with some ATM fans in a bar in Ft. Worth, speculation he was angling for the TCU job. depending on what TCU's admin is like (are they damn the PR, let's win?), he may be off that list now.

He's a better human being than John Calipari, that's for sure. Cal is bottom of the barrel.

I think Drinking and adultery are more his style.

No, he's just the biggest cheater in the history of college hoops. There isn't a recruit that guy hasn't paid. I may not have proof but I'd give someone 10,000:1 odds on me being incorrect.

Uhh, yeah, allegedly floating some cayshe someone's way isn't quite as bad as endangering the lives of motorists.

So paying recruits is worse than getting hammered and getting behind the wheel?
Nope, but I'm just going to go ahead and assume Cal's got himself many more demons than just this.......
Cal is a lousy human being. Gillespie's just got a drinking problem. Probably needs some help. Get the man sober and I don't think he'd be making such poor decisions. He's not a bad guy. He clearly needs to get help though.
Calipari does his shit SOBER. He sets bad examples for young people in that it's okay to not follow the rules. Guys like him make me sick. It's all about winning at all cost and collecting a paycheck. Fuck integrity, right???
Getting a DUI does not make you a bad person. It means you either need to grow the fuck up and be more responsible (ahem, designated driver) or you've got a problem and need help.

Is this a Finkle is Einhorn kinda thing? Cal is Pitino and Pitino is Cal? Or did Cal have a similar episode to Pitono and I not hear about it?

I don't think Cal has ever been in legal trouble. SCS seems to think otherwise.
It's the state in general... Sutton, Gillespie, Rupp, Hickman, C.V. Money, and Crum. It's in the moonshine in that state.

I'm no fan of Calipari but this statement is probably beyond the realm of our knowledge....
