I mean. Okay. Me and any two of you could beat Nicholls so why are we talking like it matters.

If there’s a .000000001% chance it could help them heal by holding them out then hold them out. Should be a no-brainer we don’t want to take any chances rushing recovery after last season.

It won’t matter if they play if the team effort is the same as it was against Georgetown.

Probably can beat them anyway?

But so what if the team is not prepared?

For me it's getting the at least a few minutes of playing time in an actual game and getting the offense straightened out before the tough games that are on the horizon. I don't want them hurt more but, if they can go why not give them a little time to get them and the team ready for what's coming.

Folks, you might as well prepare yourself, because I see a pattern developing…

UK WILL NOT play a full game this season without a starter(s) or key reserve(s) sitting out because of an “injury”! Anyone want to take that action? I’ll give you odds as well!

Right. This is the time of year to work on teamwork and substitution patterns.
Last season, we could not absorb the loss of both Butler AND Robinson. I’m afraid we’re in the same boat with Lowe and Aberdeen.

Id say that’s 100% false. I played some pickup with guys who played for Troy and UT Martin back a few years ago. We don’t suck either, me and a few of us who were more geared toward baseball. They beat us first to 100. Final score 100-66 or 67/68. We went hard, they went long. It’s really the height. Just can’t do anything when they can hit from anywhere at 6’4-6’8.

So now that we’ve settled that. I’m pretty much resigned to Doritos and skittles now, so at the time I wasn’t fat. It would be worse today.

I think I'm more disappointed that Pope broke this news with known Kentucky hater and general dumbass Jon Rothstein, than I am about the injuries.

not worried about injuries until it’s a problem. I just can’t do it anymore. At this point we need to just recruit 2 stud PG’s because one of them is for sure going down.

I wish he wouldn’t had gone through Rothstein either. Don’t give that bag the dig, I’d give it to sleepers media first and I wouldn’t let them be at my dogs breeding.

I was thinking the same thing last week. Not like I’m saying I’m pissed about it, but for whatever reason I had that though. Actually, I have a reason, but it’s just my thought.

They need to quit being a bunch of “paid” pansies and play basketball this **** is getting old every damn year. We need to start recruiting players that aren’t made out of glass. They seem to get there bag and they don’t want to come off that bench.

Admittedly there may have been some hyperbole involved. 😂

I can definitely see the benefit of that approach. I’m once bitten twice shy as far as brining anybody back quick though.

Did I have it wrong all these years? I thought it was "once bitten, twice shot".

Edit: yup, it's "shy". I hate it when they leave me off company emails.
