    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Greetings from South Africa D-Leaguers. My wife and I have been out on safaris the past week, in the massive Kruger Park, which is the size of New Jersey, and then in the smaller, private Karongwe preserve. It’s really been spectacular. We’ve seen every African animal in the wild, most in...

    Our new athletic Director

    You have stated it perfectly. -There’s the kind of man who, given leadership over the greatest college basketball program of all time, would have moved into his office the next morning, called in the head coach, and said “here’s what I think the team needs to be a FF contender immediately...

    The Value of the first 4 titles

    Is Notre Dame an elite college football program, routinely in the discussion for the sport’s Mt. Rushmore? They have zero titles in 38 years. So yeah, program history is probably the single most significant factor in setting the hierarchy of greatness.

    Our new athletic Director

    There doesn’t have to be a big conspiracy to explain J Batt being a flop, at least so far. Normal things like being over his head and not an alpha male and not a “refuse to lose” guy would explain him not being able to bring Koehler from Michigan State, not figuring out the Mitchell thing in...

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Good morning folks. Happy long weekend. My wife and I are traveling tomorrow - a vacation to celebrate our 30th anniversary to South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana. Dodging hippos and crocs on the Zambezi River. It should be fun. The Stein Era begins today. Should be easy to believe...

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Happy Friday folks. A busy day ahead, but WFH, so not bad. Got a leaky hot water heater. It is always something. I was bitching that we just replaced the water heater and my wife says, "I remember when we put that water heater in we had to regulate the temperature so the babies wouldn't get...

    UK partnered with Heaven Hill?

    The Athletic Department had a choice to work long, hard and intelligently to put a product on the basketball court that Kentucky fans would embrace with great pride and enthusiasm -- or figure out a way to encourage the fans to get so drunk that they didn't notice...

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Good morning folks. Bumping along in the subway. My daughter is back home, showing off her dazzling engagement ring and full of stories of the Baltics and Scandinavia. She’s always been a happy person but she really seems fulfilled and joyful now, which is one of the most satisfying things a...

    Candid Coaches Poll - Best team of the century

    The 2015 team had ONE claim to being the best team on the list: That was it's defense. And the defense was never the same after Alex Poythress was lost for the season. The idea that Kentucky losing to Wisconsin was an historic upset is just not true. KenPom had Kentucky a 3 point favorite over...

    Calling J Batt, hello? Are you alive?

    Not sure I’d go that far. But he’s been a pretty clear disappointment. You’d expect the guy to be savvy enough and connected enough and bold enough to either have steered Koehler here —(he came from Michigan State!) to have warned Pope off Mitchell, to dig in and make the Mitchell thing work...

    Five regular season losses you would reverse

    I wouldn’t necessarily pick these, but if you reversed Kentucky’s last five regular season losses against Indiana the Cats would have a 23 game winning streak over them dating back 36 years in regular season games. That’d be pretty hilarious. Another good choice: When the Kentucky -UNC-Cheats...

    Trying to get back on board with Pope

    Just curious: Would you call a 9-16 season, the worst in Kentucky basketball history, an embarrassing NCAA loss to #14 seed St. Peter's, a choke-job NCAA loss to a mediocre Kansas State team, and a completely humiliating NCAA loss to #15 seed Oakland, while keeping two lottery picks out of the...

    Cade Tyson next ? Filing lawsuit for eligibility

    He's more a guy who keeps the floor from falling further rather than a guy who raises the ceiling. If he comes, he comes, but Mark Mitchell was the ticket to the NCAA tournament rounds with single digit numbers.

    THE NEW D-LEAGUE

    Good morning folks. Chugging along on the subway. It turned really warm and incredibly muggy this morning. August was like October and at least to start September is like August. I suppose anyone paying attention could see the Mark Mitchell fiasco coming. I don’t know if Pope is inept, unlucky...

    Was Keyshawn Hall ever a take?

    Yeah, taking Mitchell from Missouri was a mistake because of SEC conference affiliation. He should have taken Keyshaun Hall from Auburn. Brilliant call, anonymous X poster. ...Oh, wait a minute. Something sounds off about that...
