CNN going in hard on Kentucky

[I’m The Village Idiot]

I don’t watch any news. It’s all slanted politically one way or the other. Been that way the last 25-30 years.

Uniparty. Nothing but lies and coverups most of the time. Selling utopias

 

[FLBBNFAN]

Agree and I will add Noah. That''s about it in my opinion

I'd add Chandler, and Robinson from last year

Dayumm! Never thought I would see a CNN article linked here to prove a point.

Maybe Pope could start out with something simple like a rule only allowing UK apparel, sweats etc. when they arrive for the game. Enough of the bling and 10K coats. This isn't the NBA. Look like you're serious about winning for Kentucky's fans. Lay down the law Pope!

That’s not how NIL works. I’m pretty sure that under the current rules the payments can’t be contingent upon performance.

That's how it needs to work in order for idiots like Barnhart and whoever is financing this program (Craft etc) to not get fleeced. It'll keep happening, too.

If you're playing for Tom izzo you just must like being yelled at and such.

His style of coaching is dying out. He'll be one of the last that gets away with it.


I wouldn't listen to his big mouth for one second.


There's a reason why you don't really know any of those Michigan State players. They're just a bunch of dudes he's molded with his style of coaching.

I wasn't surprised to see he has his big goofy white dude he's had for 12 years.


If you can't beat Michigan State and his bunch of nobody's you suck.

Period.

Tom teams are always gatekeepers. If you're good enough to beat his teams then you're a decent. If you can't you suck.

It’s actually a pretty good article if you put your bias aside. It did feel kinda like there was a distinct cultural difference between the two programs last night. The old CBB way against the new way.

Politics control every aspect of these weirdos lives. Nothing politics and an eye opening story yet he’s still triggered.

That is the last 5 years of Izzo, Tubby Smith, and Cal at UK. Izzo is a very good coach, but don´t act like he is any better than coaches that have been run off from UK.

Time for a change.

It's moreso because it was written by Dana O'Neill who is a respected sports journalist.

Tom Izzo has lost at least 13 games 4 of the past 5 seasons.

 

[Catsfan2025]

Want to compare tournament finishes in recent years ? He plays the regular season to prepare for the tournament. He also gets more out of less. And everyone of his players would run thru a brick wall for him. They RESPECT Izzo. All Facts.

Wait. I thought every journalist is a UK hater.

 

[yoshukai]

I watch EVERY new station that way.

Virtually every one is an “opinion piece “.

CNN is equal to North Korea and China media.
