HUGE RESPECT. I kind of wish I did stuff like that.
I, too, hope we add TWO First Team All American/NPOY portal players next year!!Yes. I’ve noticed… we need to add two Dalton Knechts out there in portal
I was being facetious, but that dude came out of NOWHERE… same with Reeves.I, too, hope we add TWO First Team All American/NPOY portal players next year!!
Joker Phillips has entered the chat.....I’ve never seen somebody so unprepared for the spotlight like Kenny Payne, and that includes Billy Clyde. He’s totally unhireable at this point, imo.
No point in playing this wknd if already on the 1 line.
I feel the same way about Harvey’s “God Made a GYERO Poster” speech.- Kenny will never get a head coaching job again (nor should he), but he can probably name his location and his price as an NBA assistant for life, tasked strictly with personal development of bigs. Don't give him any game-planning responsibilities, just let him work with the 3-4 bigs on your roster and profit.
- Nolan Smith should never sniff a college staff after this. At least, not as an assistant. Some low-major will probably hire him for the name recognition, but that guy has proven to be a complete psycopath.
- One of the best developments over the past 3-4 years is the rise in bracket experts. Not because any of them are anything special, but simply because it's knocked Lunardi down a peg or two. Brian Bennett's breakdowns on The Athletic are far better.
- Time for that annual spring rite of passage....Arkansas reaching out to every single player in the portal.
- Saw Dana Altman's name floated as a potential UL candidate yesterday. That would be AWESOME.
- Something that *gets* me every time...that "God Made a Farmer" speech by Paul Harvey.
at krazy running two businesses, raising a billion kids, living outside of Louisville (iirc) and buying season tickets to a pro franchise hundreds of miles away because he really likes Will Levis and YOLO.
HUGE RESPECT. I kind of wish I did stuff like that.
Anyone else in on the Riley Strain drama?
About 20 years ago, new guy from our company had buddy come up and visit. They get a hotel on the river, go out on the town, get hammered, and friend fell in river. Died. Newspaper investigation got our guy to admit they were doing blow and night spiraled out of control. So yeah, it happens, shady, but happens. He did not get fired BTW.^
Same. The way he was stumbling easily could have fell, or a couple homeless lads were having some entertainment and tossed him.
We've all been there. Couldn't count the # of times back in the day that i've incoherently stumbled around a downtown. Easily could have turned out like this poor chap.
Did they check the roof of his hotel?Given where his phone's last ping was I feel like the poor guy is likely in the river. Whether he fell or was thrown in could be a question.
That will happen when you party in Louisville.Yep. I've wondered in and out of homeless camps many times after leaving the bars inebriated.
Cal ain’t leaving but if he did, I’d call Rick Pitino first. I said it. I have 0% hate*
for him at this point.
*The only reason it’s 0% is bc 2013 got stripped away.
Listen to all of that then see if you feel the same afterwards.
DePaul should have hired Will Wade. Speaking of Wade, he and Chris Beard should be the only two candidates that Oklahoma State considers. They hired a previously tainted coach before in Sutton, who took them to two FFs and went on to make the HoF. They should go down that path again. If they get either, that will be a monster program once again.Chris Holtman to DePaul. Considering the possible chatter of him to UK 3-4 years ago I’d say that’s quite the fall from grace.
I heard today from KSR and others that UofL is willing to hire Beard saying that they are only going to stay away from those with NCAA issues. What’s funny is Drew has a bad NCAA history himself that everyone overlooks. Was suspended/got them on probation/tried to get folks to lie to the NCAA/Perry Jones issues/told a recruit he’d be deported if he didn’t sign with him.I get the idea that Beard will be stuck at Ole Miss at least one more year before there is any interest in him.
So far not hearing his name for UL at all is eye opening to his situation.
