The path to an SEC title or Championship appearance is much easier now than just 5 years ago for UK, with the right coaching staff.
Oh mercy.

I advise you all to read this one. It’s bleak.
Oh no! We overtly cheer on our middle eastern partners!! Aghast!!
He’s wrong, but if he is truly receiving death threats, those people need to spend some time behind bars. Hope they are caught.Heh, Karma.

“Ukraine on my Mind” is our song of choice. Right?
When I first got into sports, the cowboys and staubach were the thing. but lived in indiana and went to several Pacers games. was at one game in the 70s, where 3 wild women flashed the crowd and were escorted out. Seared into my memory... was awesome. Instantly a Pacer fan...Maybe we should share how our various fandoms came about.
MIne:
UK - Just born and raised into it. Parents were long time season ticket holders to UK football, and Dad took me to a couple of games a year starting in about 1976 or 77. I went to UK and never missed a game, football or basketball while I was there. When I graduated in '93, i got my own set of season tickets and have had them ever since.
Reds - Started as a kid in the 70's when I'd go visit my grandpa and we'd sit in the back den filled with the smoke from his no filter Pall Mall's watching the Big Red Machine. Watching Rose, Seaver, Bench, Foster, Perez, Morgan, Griffey, then on to guys like Driessen, Oester, Soto and others. Being a UK football fan has helped me cope with their decades of futility (outside of that 1990 season)
49ers - I wasn't a huge NFL fan as a little kid, but I had an uncle, My Dad's youngest sibling, who back around 1980 built a custom motorcycle from the ground up and then rode it all the way to California where he would end up living. He got a job with the San Francisco examiner in their printing department. then after they won their first Super Bowl that I watched with my Dad, My uncle Mike sent ME, not my Dad, the whole special edition newspaper that the Examiner put out for the game. That made me a Niner's fan from that day on. My Dad was always a Steeler's fan. My Uncle passed away last year from the same Colon Cancer my Dad passed away from in 2018.
Can't say I have a favorite NBA team. I don't watch NBA.

I was a mild UK hoops fan because my stepdad. I got to the UK UL game in Pitinos first season. Instant fan. was incredible environment. Was lightly recruited for football and one game Alfred Rawls took me into the locker room afterwards to celebrate. Was too cool. Got to talk to several players. DJ Johnson iIRC? ABout a hit he made on a WR against IU. Would def be targeting now. good memories.
If it was a straight bailout like we have done in the past I would agree but its a Currency swap line. Its meant to boost US dollars in Argentina.
Any one out turf who would wave a Venezuelan flag in allegiance with the Venezuelan government or as a symbol of what the US should be is either brain dead or paid to be the fool.Of course they are waving another country's flag (Venezuela). It's such a great place that you illegally entered into the US to get away from it. These people are invaders. Pure and simple. Deport them all now or face the consequences in time.
It may have been moved to the football board. LolAnyone else lose the political thread? I have to search for it every time now.
Truth.That's a question for IU. Objectively speaking though, it IS an easier job. Not really debatable.
I can't even imagine a scenario where a first year UK coach goes 11-1, has an 8-1 conference record, and makes the college football playoffs, in the SEC.
F the Cubs…just wanted to put that out there.I guess a pretty good case could be made that UK football fans' loyalty (showing up, year after year, disproportionally so, given the "product") might have, in fact, HURT them, if it developed a "take them for granted" they'll keep coming, for the most part, win or lose culture up in the ivory tower.
Sort of like Chicago Cubs ownership did for decade after decade.
Oh mercy.
1 demerit for you and we sir will be meeting in the parking lot after school. @Lost In FL if you want some more, you can join too.F the Cubs…just wanted to put that out there.
Turn?Yeah, you get a lot of "Well bless your heart's". But bring up basketball and watch them turn.
My reasons are totally football-related. It's just too embarrassing. Honestly, I haven't watched a UK basketball game in over 25 years, so in the rare event, I would run into somebody from the south and wants to talk basketball, I'd have to phone a friend or ask the audience.Really?!
Every time we go to Florida since I moved here, wearing something UK. Over 30 years. Used to run into UK fans everywhere from Chicago to Orlando back then.
I posted in the thread, and said that part of me wishes it wasn't a parody, because I'd have loved to show up with a grill, cooler, and bullhorn, so I could tailgate and heckle.Which of you Central KY peeps are going to the "Lexington Bad Boys" try outs?![]()
Im not following much of the UK football debate. But I do find it interesting and surprising that now we are in the NIL era, and some conference re-alignment is settled, that its the Big10 who looks like the powerhouse. Maybe the SEC is just sort of in a transition period. But those big10 schools got a lot of money to throw around.
I am fairly certain this might touch off widespread violence, if it is changed.
Although it is absolutely the correct decision if we truly live in a colorblind democracy, I don’t think the SCOTUS judges have the guts to do it.
Well IU is in the Big10. It’s not like that league isn’t at or very near the same level as the SEC. Granted IU’s schedule was fairly easy by Big 10 standards last season too. It was like us if our schedule avoided Bama, UGA, Texas, LSU, Oklahoma and Tennessee.Truth.
Turn to envy.Turn?
