Gyero- Derby week
- Thread starter drxman1
- Start date
Yup, DA should have known better. Did he learn nothing from Rex and Sean Woods? (although Sean Woods was right in his criticism)
Cal has pretty thick skin, but over the years if there is one thing it seems he gets a little pissy about, it's the assertion he's not a good game coach. Curious to see how this plays out.
Thanks, Beavis. Good color, it matches the trim on this site, which I like.
However, as for font, I've always liked the block K with the wide base, like on the old helmets. The taller K like on the baseball team's caps looks a little frail to me, and in danger of being toppled over.
Whereas the wide K with the broad base is a force to be reckoned with. It's bold and has a wide stance and far reach. It screams "power".
If UK is supposed to "own the state", that's what we need, not some hybrid H/K character that's obscured by the curve of the "U" like a small patch of sand being lapped over by a gentle wave from the sea.

When Cal retires the clamoring to get BD back to college at UK will be immense. Just wait.
A couple of random memories from Commonwealth as a youth:
The plastic cups on drinks used to have lids. Always remember the upper deck people trying to see if they could get them on the field. They'd be flying all over the place during games.
The breaking glass from bourbon bottles underneath the end zone seats. You could not walk by an end zone without hearing at least a few come crashing down.
Night home games when we wore all blue were the best.
This guy was good.
People used to love throwing toilet paper rolls when we scored a TD too.
BB version, they giant wildcat on stilts.
Bud to the Steelers!!And that's why the Steelers are the Steelers and the Bengals are the Bengals.
The Bengals passing on Bud only to let the Steelers grab him, with the next pick, is such a Bengals move.
He will probably break Dalton in half next year.

Does New England get another 'how was that guy still available' pick here?
Heck they probably have a guy targeted and will be able to trade back 10 or so spots and still get him.

Asked Marvin as much at the Bengals draft party.
He shut me down with the quickness. Said Bud wouldn't fit in Bengals D-scheme

Dinner at Andover last night was great, Steaks and Stogies, they brought in a handicapper to break down the Derby. He's pretty high on American Pharaoh (shocking).
Think my superfecta gonna be:
American Pharaoh
Bolo
Dortmund
Frosted
Crystal Ball predictions: Andover 40%, Greenbrier 35%, LCC 20%, IHCC 5%.

Still think when that happens in a few years smart UK fan's list will be
Marshall
Stevens
then BD
Billy has 4 FF's and 2 NT's at a football school. If he isn't at the top of your wish list when Cal leaves I question your college basketball.
Question me if you must.
1. I don't want anyone from the febuk tree.
B. Donovan dicking us over at the altar led directly to the hobo.
There will be other great candidates when the time comes. Touch him.

There's too many houses at Andover for your game, Dr. Bob. One broken window or dented golf cart garage door is pardonable.
One a week, not so much.

And Stevens went to 2 nat championship games at a program that doesnt even have a friggin football program
most UK friends I know like BD....but have a problem with a guy who has turned us down before, takes orders from Pitino like a mutt on a leash, & who we watch get beaten like a drum by UK many times (17-28) over the years.
BD can GGP. If he wanted to be here, he would've been. Team Beavis.
It's not just that the Bengals passed on a top rated guy, who plays a position/has a skillset the Bengals need, and I was obviously very biased towards, it's that they passed on him for a guy who won't even be able to practice until September. Ogbuhei (?) may turn out to be a franchise tackle as soon as next year, and that's great, but when you're drafting in the 20s and have been making the playoffs for awhile but not winning, maybe you take the guy who can in theory help from day 1? I dunno, just a thought...
I can accept the Pitino influence factor in regards to Billy, that's a legit gripe. Turning us down? Meh, doesn't bother me as much.
Let's see- have the 2nd least sacks in the NFL, but allow the 3rd fewest in the NFL... pass blocking OT or pass rushing DE/OLB?
In my law school days up in Cinci I adopted the Bengals, having really no NFL loyalties outside of being a fins fan in my younger days. But, I quickly realized that my heart could not take the UK football/Bengals combo.
I guess I've gravitated to the Titans because there are so many fans of them in this area and I go to about a game a year. They suck too, but not in the in-your-face way that the Bengals do.

And now Jaylen Brown's 247 Crystal Ball is swinging back toward Michigan, with Little Bozich flipping his pick from UK to UM.
Good Lord kids are stupid.

Wrong context but "18 year olds, dude."
- played basketball with the sub-25 set last night. Worn out this morning.
- asheville today with the gal.
- da Bulls. (Shamelessly ripped off from a shameless rip off)
- Donovan is a bad hire for us later because he has cited his tiredness with recruiting. No thanks. That sounds Tubby-esque. Not interested in sitting through a bunch Gerald Fitch sequels no matter how good the team ball ends up in year 4.
- Also Team Beavis on the Pitino front. That guy is just bitter so eff having one of his ***-lickers leading us. Stevens or Marshall. I think if Ainge plays his picks and signings well, Stevens may end up a Celtics lifer a la Sloan or Poppovich or the Original (Auerbach) (not in terms of coaching talent per se numbnuts)

Sure did! And they turned down an offer from Arizona to trade back (still would have been able to draft Obenugei (?)), Arizona would have drafted Dupree (keep him out of the AFC North), and the Bengals would have gotten an extra pick!
The thing is, it's not like the Bengals suck anymore a la Cleveland, Oakland, Tennessee, etc.. They're competitive. They make the playoffs. They have a good roster. But they prefer to "maintain" and hope that the known pieces they have somehow make a leap.
Yeah, I do. The "recruiting experts" who make the picks want to have a high success % for their credibility. Doesnt do their job much good to be 45% right on crystal ball entries. So they jump and make/switch predictions at the slightest inside info rumor in order to accurately pick where a kid goes.
Why wouldn't you? These people get paid to follow this stuff, and their livelihood depends partly on forecasting where these kids are going. Doesn't mean that they're definitely going to be correct, but they know a lot more about it than some randos on a message board.
I wanted the Bengals to draft an OL with their first rd pick…
Unless Bud Dupree or Shane Ray were still available. They both were and Mr. Brown decides to roll with an OT who would've been a top 10 pick if he wasn't broken.
Not as bad as when I was tending bar for a draft party at Head First and they drafted Chris Perry first. I made everyone go outside, cross the street to the entrance of Paul Brown Stadium and boo as loudly as they could.
********.

Sorry, but I am not going to take a prediction seriously where 5 of the 6 predictors with Kentucky connections pick Kentucky and 10 out of the 11 predictors with Duke/UNC/IU/UofL/KU connections predict against Kentucky. Outside of a few national guys very few local writers are really connected to recruiting, and the connections they are going to have will be with kids they are actually recruiting.
Jones just said he got a random text last night from a 678 area code (atlanta) stating UK leads for Brown.
