Re: GYER27-0

Pretty sure my wife reads my Twitter stuff but she never says anything about it because she's embarrassed by me.

Either that or she's ashamed of my small clothes.

Lol. 4 Elite 8s, 3 Final 4s, 2 Title Games, 1 Natty.....and an NIT. (and that doesn't even count what's hopefully coming)

There isn't a fan of any program, anywhere, that wouldn't take that cycle every 5 years for the rest of their lives, TS.



-Wife tried twitter for about 4 days after she saw me on it all the time laughing & giggling....of course, that DRIVES HER NUTS, so she had to get involved. Once she realized it's mostly about sports, and that she only "gets" about 1 out of 100 of my Tweets, she gave up.

I get homerism, to a point. What is annoying is someone like Howie. Immediately following, he alluded to SEASON LONG locker room turmoil surrounding Chris Jones. As a professional journalist, shouldn't he be sharing that as it came up, rather than sweeping under the sunshine and daisies carpet, then using it to throw a player under the bus later? Complete BS.

Like or dislike Matt, he isn't afraid to discuss negative issues concerning the program. For example - the air gun and bar fight episodes...
I disagree to an extent. While I don't think the UK media goes to the same extreme as UofL media does in covering things up/not covering things at all, there are a whole lot of UK media (Jones included) who look the other way/massage stories. The air soft gun and Richmond incidents were covered and discussed but both involved police investigations.

I don't have a problem with homer media as they serve as certain purpose. My issue is when the same people who looked the other way on certain stories crush a player/coach/etc when they are gone for the things they refused to report. It's hypocritical and Jones is one of the worst when it comes to it.

After Gillispie got in trouble at Texas Tech for the way he was treating players you had a group of Lexington media come out with reports of how poorly Gillispie treated UK players. They talked about how it was a player safety issue and Gillispie should be punished/fired/suspended. Of course he deserved to be fired but don't act like you care about players 1500 miles away when you covered for the same thing happening in your own back yard in order to keep your access/relationship with higher ups. It's disingenuous.

* Just because a #1 seed plays in a terrible conference doesn't mean their conference schedule is completely ignored. What that means is that particular team has to do quite a bit more than most other teams to distinguish itself (be incredibly dominant in their weak conference, great non-conference schedule, etc). I'm fairly certain now that everyone besides chief understands this.

* Rich Eisen ran a 6.10 40 at the NFL Combine yesterday. As fun as the GYERO Olympics was, how much more fun would an "official" visit to the NFL Combine be? This should be a like a bachelor party "thing." Take a crew of 15 guys to Indy, throw down a hundo apiece, and get put thru the ringer and measured and ranked at every event. I think they could make a nice little tourist/guy trip business out of this.

* BTI actually just dropped his best post ever today:

"Stupid Enough to Admit When I Was Wrong."

Fantastic work, although he left out the bit where he called Kevin Galloway the best Power Forward in the history of the school, or whatever. And he should probably go ahead and add the "Matt Jones is the best reporter in the state" to the list as well.

* I love 630am on Sunday mornings. As terrible as Larry Vaught is as a person/social media type, he's actually very good when discussing, and ONLY when discussing, UK football. Big fan of that. It's the perfect way to unwind on a hungover Sunday morning when driving home/laying on the couch eating McDonalds breakfast.

Re: GYER27-0

- RE: 2013

I contend that, had Noel not gone down, UK would have been dangerous in March. I'm not saying we would have been an E8 team but we could have won a game or two.

My reasoning? 2011 and 2014. Cal's teams looked dead in the water both of those years, yet once March came around, were playing their best ball. I think something similar, yet lesser, would have happened in 2013.

- Alexander with 10 minutes last night. WTF is Self doing? It's late February. Traylor got 18min and put up 1p, 2r. Lucas got 14min and gave 2p, 2r. At the very least, Alexander is someone to contend with on the offensive glass.

This brings up two things I love about Cal- he lets these talented youngsters play through their mistakes- no real head games.

And, he plays to fit his personnel. Kansas this year is a team with an attacking (if erratic) PG, three good wings who can shoot, a finesse combo forward and one athletic raw strongman undersized post. That doesn't fit his hi-lo but so what? Make it work. Drive and kick all game with Mason and Greene/Oubre/Selden/Ellis and just let Alexander be a garbage man. Your posts suck so forget'm.

I know Kansas will win the B12 again but who cares? I'm not impressed with this team. If they're doing anything in the NCAA, they need Alexander getting more than 10 min.

Re: GYER27-0



I think the Selection Committe will completely ignore Kansas' Big 12 resume and only analyze their non-conference schedule, which is why they will once again end up with a 7 or 8 seed this year, at best.

I tweeted him from one of your tweets with "cool bruh." He proceeded to insult the picture of my wife I had on twitter and promptly blocked me and deleted the tweet.

I would like to meet him in person please.

- What/who is Andrew Wiggins' ceiling? Some of dem moves...


- Texas 1-9 vs. the Top 50
This- in an era where NO ONE has good bigs and he has 3 of them.

Re: GYER27-0

Yeah, Wiggins has been as good (or better) than advertised.

Seemed like people cooled on him a bit overall after his year at KU, while still acknowledging his long-term potential to be a star.

He's ahead of schedule, imo -- shooting a better % from 3 in the NBA than he did in college, and already a pretty damn good defender, with the potential to be among the best in the league.

Minny has a fun little young team.

Re: GYER27-0

Rick Barnes may be the worst coach in America. I legit thought that was a Final Four team when we played them.

On a related note, Sportswriter Guy loves to make fun of UK fans for being delusional, having too many expectations, etc. But the fact that UK fans almost uniformly vomited at the thought of Tom Crean or Barnes coaching here is pretty good proof that we get basketball as well as anyone.

They need someone that can think of enough stupid **** to fill an 8a post everyday. That's it. On top of that 75% of the fan base thinks like or less than BTI's mouth breathing ***. TS.

Re: GYER27-0

I'm not 100% sure I could take Tom Crean as the coach of Kentucky. I think I'd spend 99% of my waking hours trying to figure out how to get him fired. I'd most likely end up divorced, homeless, and in jail because literally the only thing I'd want to do is destroy him.

Re: GYER27-0

I honestly don't know what I'd do in that situation.

Thankfully, it will never happen.

...I never hated/noticed him all that much at Marquette, thought he was a fine up-and-coming coach (which he is/was), but damn.

I like to think I'd go on a basketball hiatus during a Crean regime, but my homer *** would probably fall in line and be ALL IN!!!1!1!!!

Re: GYER27-0

I've brought this up a lot, but the greatest case of the redass of all time had to be CMD on the mod email chain during the very small window where steam was picking up that Lorenzo Romar was going to be Kentucky's next coach instead of Cal. Between those rumors and YouKay's "TYREKE EVANS WAS AN ACCESSORY TO MURDER" takes, our boy lost it.

It was awesome.

Re: GYER27-0

Dark hours/days indeed. By that point, I was all in on Calipari and didn't even want to entertain thoughts of anyone else. My faith in Mitch was at an all-time low after the BCG fiasco, and I just *knew* Lorenzo Romar was right in Mitch's wheelhouse. So glad he proved me wrong. Man, I'm getting farred up all over again.

Re: GYER27-0

-Been saying this all year but I would be infuriated if I was a Rockchalk watching the offense run through Perry Ellis. Ellis is a helluva utility player but he's not the center piece of an offense. Again. Wisky to the West #1 and Kansas to Cleveland. Yes, please. Also, I like Oubre more than most of you all do and I don't get Alexander not getting time.

I guess they have to actually get a #2 seed at this point but with the #1 RPI team I guess they will.

-Some days... I really question humanity.

-Think I'm going to get out and find some lunch alone. Need to clear the old head.

-Naples vs Charleston? Looking for a little get-a-way later this spring. Really the only thing Naples has going is direct flight from Lex and should be warmer in late spring. Charleston, more expensive flight, better options.

Re: GYER27-0

The GYERO page discussing UK's hire of Romar, only to confuse 73 who, for some reason couldnt receive any other news sources at the time, was really solid iirc. Tons of faux outrage, and then I believe we had Cawood championing the hire.

Don't get BBdK's Oubre-dislike. Smooth lefty stroke and a crafty game toward the bucket.

Re: GYER27-0


He's been much better, but I still don't see it with Oubre. To me, he's much more MKG-style than he is some potential star like so many project. I like Winslow better, without question...who is also in that same mold.

People seem to think Oubre has 'the man' potential down the road.

I realize I'm in the minority here.

I like Winslow better, too- and Johnson better than both of them. But I still like Oubre- although more in the Top 20 range than lotto.

Re: GYER27-0

I can get down with that. And I don't think his stroke is all that 'smooth'...it's like a push shot. He's got undeniable potential, and tons of time to develop...I'm just not as high on him as most.


I could be wrong, but I can't remember the last time I was. I should be an NBA scout, TS.

Re: GYER27-0

Maybe Cliff Alexander just sucks? He wouldn't be the first big to get by on bullying people and then have nothing to fall back on when that option didn't work anymore. The guy has no developed bball skills and isn't tall/big enough to shove 4s and 5s around.

Of course, this doesn't excuse the fact that Bill Self has no clue about how to handle stud freshmen. It could still be this, too.

Re: GYER27-0

Pretty sure a lot of the Oubre love is coming from Chad Ford. Which explains a lot of its ridiculousness. Kid is alright, but is he a better prospect than, say, James Young? Nah.

Ford also harps on D. Booker being a bad athlete, so...

His metrics don't support the statement that he sucks, though- ESPECIALLY compared to KU's other bigs.

Re: GYER27-0

-Alexander doesn't suck. He's no worse than Towns was for the first 3 months. He's just young and needs to figure out he can't just bulldog everyone at this level. He's got nice mitts, isn't a stiff and gobbles up boards. Really he just needed minutes.

Self is a helluva coach but like a lot of those guys they refuse to bend and when you're messing with high level talent for 1 season you better be flexible and patient.

-We hung out with Tucker a bit in the Bahamas. Like most of those dudes he was a really cool guy. Hot wife as well. That whole profession is just strange to me. I guess b/c they get attacked by both readers and the people they're covering they tend to circle the wagons.

Kenny & Warren G on Kimmel last night, w/ Kenny G's sax playing the part of Nate Dogg.


Feel like my boy has one more run in him, at least behind the boards. He's been away for too long. (RIP Nate)

Re: GYER27-0

Speaking of Ford, article today saying Towns is starting to rise rapidly, and may make a serious case for #1.

I don't see any way a team could pass on Okafor, and I assume they won't (although he says several GMs are now saying they like him better) -- but he's caught up to Okafor from an analytics standpoint, and even passed him per Kevin Pelton.

Interesting read, if nothing else.

Re: GYER27-0

Court-storming just needs to end. The space is too confined, and there's too much of a risk of someone getting hurt/trampled/sucker-punched/etc. These things have turned into borderline riots with dumbass kids taking bigger and bigger liberties with opposing players and coaches. One of them getting knocked TFO is probably going to be what it takes for something to happen.

Wouldn't bother me at all if one of those punks got knocked out by a player. Intentionally running into a player, getting in their face and talking ****, etc...all ridiculous. You're supposed to be out there celebrating your team's win, not acting like a f*cking *******.

Re: GYER27-0


I've never rushed the field at Commonwealth. I guess I just don't understand what you're supposed to do once you're on the field. I mean, after a big win my objective remains to find the safest, least resistant path to a stadium exit. And from that standpoint I've always felt like not running onto the field with everyone else was the best bet.

Re: GYER27-0

I've rushed (well, slowly climbed down while taking in the scene) the field at Commonwealth, but it never even crossed my mind to seek out an opposing player. Perhaps because I'm not a GD imbecile.

Enjoy the win and leave people alone. Not sure why that's so hard for some of those dildos to understand.
