UK does not need to pay top 10 money to be competitive. In the current SEC, UK needs to have its bar as 8/9 wins, w/ a consistent 6/7. If you catch lightning in a bottle then you may see 10, as Stoops fortunately did twice. We are not competing for the SEC title, and in this day of NIL, there will be plenty of cash to divy out to see that 6-9 win season routinely. There are plenty of bright coaches who would love to coach in the SEC and you won't have to empty the kitty to get them.
So???Not to rain too heavily on anyone's parade, but halal companies have bought I think at least 2 of America's large(st?), commercial pork producers over the past 10 years. Smithfield and one other
Are you discrediting their account of it because they have pop-ups on their site? I read it just fine, just had to X out of one thing to read it. Regardless, there are plenty of other outlets out there talking about how insane this bill is.This site reporting that is bad news though. My phone just flipped out trying to block their pop-ups and some malware. I'd recommend not clicking on that link.
Yet we go all-in on men's hoops. What does that say?FB is the greatest sport.
Firing Gran was the start of this slide and revolving door of OC's losing John Schlarman didn't help matters either. SUre we had a modicum of success with Coen and Levis, but it was still a departure from what we were doing successfully for several seasons prior, then Coen decided to have wandering eyes and things went downhill from there. Gran showed loyalty and I believe would still be the OC if he hadn't been fired. Stoops inability to build an offensive identity off the success he was having and recruit to that, really left us in the position we are in now.I still cant believe the majority of our fans still routinely trash the best OC we ever had and one of the best in the nation. All because he had to adjust to talent and run the ball.
Gran was so masterful the Bowden year, installing two completely different brand new offenses on the fly, it literally moved Chris Doering to tears on SEC Nation. It was that incredible.
Next season, the covid year, the cries get too loud and he agreed to get fired so we could move on.
lol. JFC. Is she judge or the lawyer?
She will ultimately replace Kamala Harris as the mascot of DEI. Completely unqualified for the job she has.How embarrassing. Trust me on this is the most embarrassing phrase in history ever uttered by a scotus judge.
Cases dont turn on trusting one judge's personal beliefs. They turn on the law. At least they're supposed to.
A couple of weeks ago, I saw $4.95 in Portland area. Saw $2.75 in Louisville yesterday.Ugh, Hovering around $3.89 - $4.20 range out here around Portland. Mostly due to taxes. Better than California though.....![]()
It's 2.44 outside the city close to where I'm at.A couple of weeks ago, I saw $4.95 in Portland area. Saw $2.75 in Louisville yesterday.

Maybe Stoops can get his luster back somewhere else, it's gone here though.
Buyout or not, they will lose more in revenue by keeping him than his buyout would cost. Him moving on would solve a lot of that. I half think (jokingly....sort of) that if Stoops is in fact a finalist at VT or somewhere else even, that Mitch should get on the phone and offer them up a few million and maybe even a future game or two to tip the scales. Get off a lot cheaper than his buyout.

okay. perhaps you have strong feelings on this topic and would like to explore those? LOL.
I get your frustration, some people wanted him fired from day 1. i wasn't one of those ... i have supported him completely. I remember on June 19th, 2013 UK had 18 commits and was #1 in the country! that was fing exciting. Texas had 19 recruits and was #2. That was fun! That Stoops, while learning, had a fire in him.
While i have supported him, I think he has lost his mojo here and I don't believe we'll get it back. I could be wrong and all i was really saying ... i understand why people are upset ... top 10 pay, should get better than top 75, top 50. I think if UK was rated in the Top 15/20 and went 3-5 or 5-3 in the SEC more people would be okay with that. I sure would.
