Good morning, BBN!

After nearly a year of anticipation, John Calipari is set to make his first return to Rupp Arena as the head coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks.

This week, there has been a lot of talk about how fans should react, how they are feeling, what Coach Cal has done for the Kentucky Wildcats, how things ended, and so much more.

While everything everyone says is validated, one thing holds: the environment tonight at Rupp Arena will never again be replicated.

Whether it’s booing, cheering, or a mix of both, there’s no denying that Cal has had a massive impact on all of BBN, and tonight will be a lot of fun to be a part of.

Cal will do everything in his power to get the win tonight, but will it be enough? Let us know in the comments, along with telling us whether you’ll boo or cheer when he walks into Rupp!

The effort alone is worth dedicating a few minutes to watch the above. Some pretty awesome memories in there, too.
