You guys with your H&O love never lived through the mid 80’s and suffered through hearing them and some form of Phil Collin’s non-stop.

I don’t think that my expectations could be much lower for UK football. If Mike Leach RIP was still alive we would be projected dead last in the league. I hope that Stoops proves me wrong but I don’t see a resurgence happening under him. I think that ship has sailed.
On the other hand, I hope that my expectations aren’t too high for the basketball team. We seem to have so many pieces that I can’t even wrap my head around how we’ll play, rotations and minute distribution. We’ve got some dawgs. Our shooting will probably drop off, but this should be a great defensive team that won’t get pushed around and should rebound at a high level. Would love to see at least some Pitino style full court pressure that Pope played during his time at UK. The personnel is there.
It’ll take a little time to get chemistry and roles down but I have full faith in Mark Pope and staff to make it happen.

UK football right now is disgusting and downright depressing - at least for me. I can't see that changing until Stoops is gone.
As for basketball, there's never a sure thing (except for 2012), but I feel pretty damn good. We have all the pieces we need.
We may not win it all, but the best way I can describe it is --- This is the season I've been waiting 10 years for.

-Sounds like the Ville TBT team was a mess this year:
-I like the fact we have a real coach running the show this year rather than their approach (Luuuuuuke).
-Trez rolled in reeking of weed yesterday and Earl Clark didn't make it back from the Big 3 in time for the game (probably said F it due to the circus it was).
-No point in having Siva or Russ Smith on team as they were unplayable. They combined to play 4 minutes yesterday; they said Russ didn't show up for practices.
-Ray Spalding practiced one time then quit and Hancock lied to the media saying he was hurt.
-Always nice to see that twerp Chris Jones lose, he was celebrating things like flopping on a screen, taking a WWE type bump and getting and offensive foul called.
-I was legit concerned for the other team's safety after they won given how things played out there when we beat them there last year.
-They had to stop the game several times to mop up the floor. I've never seen so many guys slip in a game and the amount of times they had to stop play was crazy. Something is jacked up with that floor/arena.

- Levis' shot at being a starter probably died last year anyway, but having surgery for a shoulder injury now and basically forfeiting the gig to Cam Ward is a rough go. He's a flawed player, sure, but damn. I feel awful for him.
- I have moved from feeling bad about UK football to feeling nothing. I'm not sure I could name a single player on the team with a gun to my head.
- Nothing epitomizes janky like on3.

It doesn’t really affect me. Luckily, I don’t deal in much memorabilia. Just not my thing.
This site is pretty awful. Really loved Catspause over the years. Hate to see it ruined.
~Sitting at the Nashville airport waiting to take off honeymooning to the land of PTI. Head nod to WCC for the rundown.
Looked for stuff on Netflix to download to watch on the flight and decided on the Red Sox documentary of when they came back from 3-0 down to the Yankees. It’s whatever.
~Put me down for 2-10 this year and a winless SEC slate. Wish Stoops could turn it around and love the identity he gave us but he’s mailing it in at this point and the Media Days comments ranged from bizarre to depressing.
~Have been Team Mich Ultra for over a decade now and have always mowed my own yard. Hate at your own risk.
~Junior Senior-Move Your Feet-Performance En Direct-Ellen Holck. IYKYK.
-TBT game yesterday was like watching a game in March. Edge of my seat, cursing shot selection, good times. Louisville and Indiana already out is just icing on the cake.
~Reds going to do just enough to make it hurt aren’t they?

Not gonna attract a front-line Head Football Coach with that level of commitment to hoops. That’s a defacto fuse lit by symbolic zippo lighter.
aa pal
…and I’m all for it. Will never be a contender in the new SEC lineup. Roll the ball out and let’s go!
Sideline Cancer would have been a good nickname for Savhir Wheeler, or about a dozen other players over Cals last 6 years here.
So I have a new name because the email address I signed up for my old one with I set up when I was 13 and lost access to about 8 years ago.
cool.
Matt Jones is getting us all back good for making fun of his buttcut 15 years ago.
Well played.

What I like about this years Pope team is they are going to be 10% tougher and whatnot.
If you could invest 50 percent of your net worth in UKBB or UKFB and choose UKFB, I don't want you near my money.
Football, in every sense, is the financial bell-cow. They should be afforded an equal share of basketball (not more).
I am not convinced this is true.
Schools can spend up 20.5 million total however they want -- and NIL collectives can't exceed that unless kids get legit money through advertisements and the like. Schools, of course, have to get that money from somewhere before they can spend it. Is our SEC money tied to football results? I know that football brings the bulk of the revenue currently but Kentucky football fans have also proven over the years that results are optional when it comes to fan support.
If there truly is a fixed pie of funds that every school can spend -- and I am not convinced there is -- it makes little sense to me to continue to throw money at football when we have no natural advantages and the current staff has not been the best stewards of what money they have gotten. Stoops spends NIL money like a bougie chick ordering at Cheesecake Factory when she ain't picking up the check.
I care far more about Kentucky basketball succeeding than I ever will Kentucky football. If we can do both, great. But we better not be losing out on recruits to Big East schools because we are trying to compete for third in the SEC East. Eff that noise.

Really excited to see Braydon Hawthorne's ankle mobility in action.
Found out today that sometime in the last 6-8 weeks I had an ocular stroke. Apparently 95% of the people that have one lose sight in the eye. I guess it’s better to be lucky in life than on DK.
Ok enjoyed Summer basketball I guess. Time to lock in on the real thing
I had a retinal occlusion (eye stroke) about 5 years ago in my left eye. For the first 2 years, I had injections every 4-6 weeks that rejuvenated the blood flow to the retina. Fast forward to now, and I only have to get one every 8-12 weeks as there has been noticeable improvement. My visual clarity in that eye is about 75% of what my right eye is. My retinal doc is a GD eye genius, perhaps the best in the country, and he saved my sight in that eye. Your % is not entirely accurate as it is dependent on the severity of the stroke, how quickly you get to the doc, overall health. This is what caused Kirby Puckett to lose his sight in one eye, as his was sudden and severe, and there wasn't a treatment then like there is now.
Good luck w/ it.
Are we sure that Villanova is not our real TBT team?
So Devin (My handles and jumpshot are all) Askew is really a 2 guard?
9-16. At the University of Kentucky.
I mean really, wtf.
I mean really, wtf.
They could get better if they added dawgs like Briscoe, Sestina and Tre Mitchell.
Tre Mitchell plays for the WVU alumni team “Best Virginia” and hit the game winner against the Marshall team and was leading scorer.
Build late lead 
Play stall ball
Take contested, late shot-clock shots
Miss said contested, late-shot clock shots
Miss free throws
Fail to grab critical rebounds
Lose game
Little doubt La Familia was a collection of Cal-coached players...

He'd be a better fit for that team as a starter than Kanter.
I'd like them to roll with something like:
1-Briscoe
2-Goodwin
3-Sestina
4-Tre
5-WCS
Bench-Burns, Kanter or Reid Travis, Whitney, Lamb, Liggins, Warrick, maybe the Harrisons instead of Briscoe/Lamb if you can't get Briscoe to commit.
Sestina should have played, he played in the Euroleague which ended in May; Briscoe's league schedule conflicted with TBTs.
