• Do you know who could use Reed Sheppard right about now? Mark Pope, that’s who!
• Oh look, Pat Riley will be in the house tonight to witness this steaming pile of dung of a program in action. Maybe he’ll anoint Pope’s head with his hair gel or something. Praying.
• My old elementary PE teacher passed away this week. Probably my favorite teacher I ever had. A huge UK fan. Smoked lung darts in his office. I remember him calling me into his office one day, not because I was in trouble, but to show me a small poster on his wall of this HS player from Roberta GA named Kenny Walker, who was jumping about 4 feet in the air and dunking on somebody. He told me that he was coming to UK and was going to be special. He was right and that memory is etched in my brain. RIP JG

Just heard something that I find hard to believe. The average age of IU's football roster is 23 years old. LOL

That is :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: if true.

I mean, it's no secret that Cignetti builds through the portal, but I didn't know it was to THAT level.

Sort of craps on the Cinderella storyline.

In a weird way, I don't think Cignetti's "method" would work as well at a traditional power. I could be off base here, but I think that IU with their deep NIL pocket(s) and less 5 star-stacked roster, makes a more enticing landing spot for elite portal transfers.

I mean, the guy is going to win no matter where he coaches, but this is the most dominating team I've seen since The "U" was putting HOF'ers in the league left and right, and partying with Luther Campbell back in the day, and on top of great coaching and talent evaluation (portal), they just LOOK like men playing against boys because they ARE. Indiana, IMO was the perfect landing spot/laboratory for this mad scientist.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm not crapping on it. I hope Will Stein is taking notes because I'd love some of that action here at UK.


70% of the starters at Indiana are 5th or 6th year seniors .

Average age of starting lineup is 23.2 years old..


40% of starters at Oregon are 5th or 6th year players

Average age: 22.3 years old


25% of starters at Alabama are 5th year Srs, no 6th year starters

Average age of Starters?
20.8 years old

The Second oldest starting roster in the CFP this year? The Miami Hurricanes at 22.6 ...

I’m sure Oregon getting murdered and their offense looking like pasteurized excrement is no reflection on how the Will Stein era will pan out at the University of Kentucky.

BLUE!

As bad as it was, take solace in the fact that Oregon had the two best offensive performances terms of yardage and points of any IU opponent this year. Also Texas Tech had the number 3 ranked defense in college (IU was 4) and lost 23 - 0 against Oregon (who had the most offensive success of any team all season against them as well) So... And Alabama managed, you know, THREE points against IU. LOL

One more story about my old PE teacher. He had a slightly younger brother, who did magic shows on the side, who died exactly a week before him. They are having a joint funeral service for them.
A few winters back, I was killing time one afternoon at a bar in Murray Ky, when a guy sits beside of me who happened to be his magician brother. He tells me the story of a morning that his PE teacher brother had him scheduled to do a magic show in front of the whole school in the gym, but he gets “wiped out” the night before, oversleeps, and is awakened by his brother beating on the door early the next morning. He said that he was still “wiped out” but got all of his magic stuff together, shows up in front of the waiting assembly and did the show still drunk from the night before. I told him that I remembered the show because I was there as a youngster. Had me fooled. 😂
