Kentucky fan ejected for sign directed at John Calipari
The 10-6 Kentucky Wildcats are on a two-game losing streak. Bad basketball is not something Kentucky fans are used to, and this season has apparently been so tough for Wildcats fans that they're ready to send John Calipari over to Texas.
In fact, one fan found himself reportedly ejected from Kentucky's Rupp Arena on Tuesday for "heckling" Calipari via sign.

Texas isn't being brought into the conversation because Kentucky fans are hoping Calipari will grab some BBQ, hit the open range on horseback and come back to the Wildcats fresh and ready to bring the team back to the top.
No, Kentucky fans don't want Calipari to hit reset. This fan, in particular, wants the longtime head coach gone, and there was recently a report that Texas is interested in stealing him away to replace the recently fired Chris Beard.
Here's the "offensive" sign directed at Calipari:

Calipari won the national championship with Kentucky in 2011-12, but his team lost in the first round of March Madness to St. Peter's last year.
