Arkansas Fans Excel in Humor Over Cal Hiring

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The day after word began to trickle out that John Calipari will be the next basketball coach at Arkansas, Razorbacks fans took to social media to produce several witty responses.
Here are some of the more memorable posts that went out. The intention was to include Kentucky reactions on this as well, but Wildcats fans clearly don't have the ability to laugh in the face of impending change. Those cats over there, pun intended, are way too serious about life.
So, without further ado, here are the all-stars of the comedic social media posts regarding the conclusion of the Razorbacks' coaching search.
