World Wide Wes

While the fans of the Big Blue Nation are enjoying an epic return to relevance under the leadership of marketing visionary John Calipari, the rest of the country isn’t so pleased with our once great Dynasty’s sudden change of fortune, and many are crying foul.

We as UK fans understand the reason for the sudden turn around is due to the perfect marriage between the most passionate fan base in all of sports, and the most forward thinking coach in all of basketball, the combination of hard work, passion, and masterful marketing of our program, are the factors that have transformed UK from a wounded giant to an unmatched rampaging behemoth in the world of college hoops, before the first tip of the ball in the new season.

But those outside our hemisphere of basketball nirvana, just can not grasp the overwhelming power that the coupling of Calipari and the Wildcat faithful provides, in the eyes of the outside world there has to be something amiss, there has to be a grand conspiracy contrived by Nike, World Wide Wes, and Twitter, at the bottom of this sudden revitalization in the Bluegrass , Calipari has to be cheating, something is giving UK an unfair advantage, this can not just be due to Calipari’s charisma, recruiting acumen, and revolutionary innovative thinking, no to all those lagging behind the new Kentucky Dynasty, there has to be another explanation.

The social networking guru Peter Robert Casey claims that Twitter is in cohoots with Coach Cal by having him on their suggested account list, in his deluted opinion this creates an unfair recruiting advantage, and is the result of a evil alliance between Twitter and Calipari (http://www NULL.peterrobertcasey NULL.com/2009/07/how-twitter-helps-john-calipari-topple NULL.html), he just doesn’t comprehend the far reaching colossus that is the Big Blue Nation.

The next thing the conspiracy theorist points to is the connection between Calipari and the man they claim is an evil power broker World Wide Wes (http://men NULL.style NULL.com/gq/featuhttp://sports NULL.espn NULL.go NULL.com/ncb/columns/story?columnist=oneil_dana&id=4352824res/landing?id=content_5735), just the site of Wes speaking to the mother of Josh Selby (http://sports NULL.espn NULL.go NULL.com/ncb/columns/story?columnist=oneil_dana&id=4352824), launched a myriad of rumors involving secret lunchs with Lebron, lurid backroom meetings, and a dastardly plan to steal Selby away from the naive and innocent Bruce Pearl.

Then their is the friendship between Nike power players Lebron James and John Calipari, to the haters this is being proclaimed as an unholy alliance conceived by Nike, and set in motion by Wes, the visit by James to the UK campus was not just a friendly trip to see a friend, but a planned scheme to give Coach Cal the upper hand in swaying impressionable recruits.

And we have all witnessed the vigor with which Pat Forde and ESPN painted Claipari as  a immoral villain in light of the Derrick Rose situation, even though Coach Cal has no recruiting violations on his spotless record, but they tend to ignore the blemishes of their darling Blue Devils.

There are many more instances of the persecution being perpetrated in what has become a witch hunt against John Calipari, and it will no doubt continue, but we as fans of UK  know the truth, Calipari is an unmatched visionary who is changing the way a program is marketed and using technology and other innovative techniques to revolutionize the game of college basketball.

The bottom line is success breeds jealousy, and the match made in hoops heaven that is the Calipari union with UK can not help but be successful.
