Kentucky Bars Are Now Offering 'FireCal' Shots

John Calipari has bigger things to worry about than just a Kentucky loss on Thursday - because now he even has the local bars against him! And everyone knows that once a college bar has turned on you, let alone the oldest bar in Lexington, Kentucky - it's all downhill from there.

This past week, the Calipari-led Wildcats' Madness ended in just the first round, as No. 3 Kentucky was upset by No. 14 Oakland, 80-76. More telling, however, was that it was the second time that Kentucky has been bounced in the first round in the last three tournaments.

And now even the local bars are saying enough is enough, Cal.

In a hilariously new social media post, Lexington's oldest bar - the Chevy Chase Inn, has now released a shot called the ‘FireCal.' 

THE ‘FIRECAL’ SHOT IS A BIG HIT AT HISTORIC BAR

"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to Chevy Chase Inn, Lexington, Kentucky's oldest bar where we've been cheering on the Wildcats for over 90 years. Usually, this is when we're celebrating March Madness but once again this year we're celebrating March Sadness," the bartender begins.

"This year, we now have the FireCal shot because it just makes sense.." He then pounds the shot of Fireball, aka FireCal whiskey, before nearly throwing it up and saying "My God, it's almost as bad as Calipari's coaching!"

Boom. Fantastic delivery, sir! At least you came through, unlike Coach Cal. 

As anyone who follows college sports knows - there's not a whole lot to do in Kentucky except drink and root for the Wildcats' basketball programs. Calipari has now taken one of those things from the Kentucky faithful's hearts and souls with his 1-4 record in his last 5 NCAA Tournament games.

WILL CALIPARI STAY?

Is it time for a new regime at Kentucky? According to the ever-so-reliant and always educated opinion of Twitter, many believe it's time for Calipari to leave.

It's not up to them though - it's up to the school, which would have to pay him a $34 million buyout.

Enough for John to open his own bar should he want to - because it's not a pretty scene for him out there these days.
