You know who should be bitching about going to a bowl? Tennessee fans. They were 3-7 and a complete **** stain.

Keep getting bowl invites and wins, Coach Stoops. I’ll never stop appreciating it.
Best day of 2020, and not even close for me 
Who’s more washed up? Coach Cal or Drew Brees.
Edit: Like clockwork he executes a perfect 2 minute offense for a TD.

Adam Kunkel hit a 3 at the buzzer to lift Xavier over Marquette. Too bad he wasn't good enough to play here.

I got to watch it in Vegas. Was a very sweet day.
Best part of Home Alone?
The scene in the church with the "scary" next door neighbor.

I'm not saying they'd be the starters, but if we had the option of throwing a backcourt of Mintz, Kunkel, and Baker out there against a zone it would really f*** up every team's "Plan A" against us.

i stand by my opinion that watching Harry get shot in the dick with a BB gun is the best scene in home alone but I understand the sentiment
Most underrated part of Home Alone is the very first scene where the camera takes you through the basement so the viewer sees all of the stuff Kevin later uses for his pranks. I love **** like that.
By far my favorite Christmas movie, and I lose it when Marv smacks Harry with the crowbar to kill the spider.
This was an 8-4 and likely 9-3 team. Went 4-4 against original conference schedule and definitely would have been 4-0 OOC.
3 gimmes to get us warmed up and we clip Auburn or Mizzou.

Let’s pump the breaks a little on that. Our offense was dogshit. But I still think we would go 4-0 OOC, and then 3-5 in conference.
So you think we lose to one of these 4:
Miss State, South Carolina, Tennessee or Vandy?
You certain about that?
Our offense was dogshit but 2-3 warm up games would have helped create some confidence. IMO.
Listen *******, I’ve been drinking heavily and didn’t realize we beat those four teams that would have been on our schedule anyway. So what I meant to say is I agree, we would have gone at least 8-4.
8-4 is a given. 2 MAC schools, a FCS school and we would’ve smacked UL around for the 3rd year in a row.
There’s a heckuva lot more things to be positive about than our basketball program right now. The football team has about as much young talent than it’s ever had, the QB battle for the next fall is very intriguing, it appears we are going to receive a few big time transfers, the Liam Cohen high ceiling excitement and we have a coach, whom despite his faults, gives it all he has and is much more relatable to the Kentucky fan base than the 9 million dollar ******* across campus.

But I'm one of the the worst posters in here. Shew
Good lord: when is anything like that ever worth reading?
World White Wayne: the epitome of a volume poster
Our football program had a dude who punched a member of the opposing team in the face prior to a bowl game and then proceed to run through said opponent.
Bowden is the biggest “Dawg” to come out of this program. We need several more like him on this Basketball team.
I agree but Denzil Ware hit a Louisville player with a trash can. Let's not forget that. That was the ultimate More Louisville Than Louisville moment.
I know dry humor is lost on a lot of you buffoons but I’ve come to appreciate Wayne’s tongue-in-cheek schtick. Thanks for bringing your Jewish sense of humor to GYERO, buddy.
—Popping in from a little hiatus to give an old fashioned run-on needlessly wordy post
—Little swimmer boy due in April, a happy covid accident that will be our first. If visitor restrictions are loosened by then, I may call up fylm to see if he wants to do the honors.
—Wife (who has had covid patients daily for a couple weeks) got vaccinated last week. The person in their office who manages their social media page (I don’t know why that’s necessary) posted a picture, which was also unwittingly the first public acknowledgement of her pregnancy. Blew up, tons of positive comments... then some anti-vaxxers started sharing on their ****-post groups and coming in, commenting, DMing in droves to call us child abusers, r-words, slaves to big pharma, all kinds of stuff. The more religious flare, the worse they were. Congrats honey!
—Love Christmas music and fully acknowledge my playlist isn’t universally liked. All about what takes you back. For me it’s tony Bennett (grandparents loved it), nat king cole, and Vince guaraldi trio on shuffle. Good, warm memories... hate virtually anything modern or any attempts to re-do classics. But you do you.
—I don’t understand Wayne Newton. In any way.
—Almost seems like the Cal era has run its natural course. Unless something changes, this feels like inevitability. One and done was a concept he needed to prove. Everyone at the beginning bought in and fought hard to do it. Now the players come in with expectations that revolve around riding the coattails of the last decade’s success but they aren’t willing to put in the same sacrifice and they don’t have the same work ethic; they expect results from the onset. Since our recruiting has slipped from the beginning of this era—they aren’t “THE BEST... OF THE BEST” that Cal once cited as his reason for being here—they get discouraged more quickly and he has less patience with them. It was telling when cal said they needed to play somebody—anybody—at the beginning of the season because the guys were tired of playing each other. I get the covid stuff... but your players should be hungrier than that, and you should be a better motivator than that. The best coaches don’t let their players get bored. Reinvent or get out.
—crappy analogy for why us fans are pissed: instead of getting 6 or 7 top tier parts, even if not fully compatible, to build a race car that you plan to take to the chop shop for profit in 8 months... how about you focus on building the best car possible? Then take your car to the chop shop.. your parts will still get plenty of cash but your car will perform better. He believes his generational poverty BS as if he’s the only reason these kids are getting paid. The good ones are getting paid with or without Cal and he needs to take a little less credit for that success. And once someone *doesn’t* get paid after their freshman year, he views them as a failure—damaged goods— and never gives them the same chance again over his new shiny prospects.
—Anyone need a fur coat of questionable origin?
—Havent kept up like I used to, quit reading around the beginning of covid because the last thing I wanted to do in my downtime was read more about covid or politics. Glad for some good ol’ sports redass to refocus gyero.

-The thing about Cal changing his ways, he has the perfect group to do it. 3-4 Dudes that will leave, and the rest are good talents waiting for development. You don't have to return everyone. but 5-6 coming back each year should be a given.
Askew may never be a legit NBA talent but can be a helluva college player. So Cal has a solid 3-4 year starting PG right now and it probably makes him sick. Next group features that same sort of 2-3 year talent. A base of Askew, Ware, Toppin, Fletcher, Allen would be a hell of a start.
I really don't see why this is so difficult. It's ok to miss on a recruit because you have an experienced guy, although a little less raw talented (in some cases).
Whatever, rebrand it, call it whatever you want. Just fix the ****, everyone is tired af with the one and done.
-I was pretty nails on the 33:32 of focus. That was damn near the wheels off the train moment. They outscore us by 18-20 points over that last 8 minutes?
-Wonder if the Brooks mystery has anything to do with those Rupp comments and blow back from the summer?
-Family Stone is a solid Xmas movie that rarely gets mentioned.
-Congrats, Swimmer.
-20#'s of sausage with my boy 80 on Saturday. Doesn't get much more manly that stuffing ground pork into pig intestines. Capped the night off with our traditional meatball dinner. Feel like we've almost perfected the recipe and method. I don't recall it going this smoothly in the past.
-Gator Bowl, dope. 100% buy in from the players. Rocky year but obvious FHOFCMS has a good handle on the program.

Those handful of unused scholarships we have every year could probably help out with generational poverty and dreams, too. But what do I know?
I’m not sure why the NBA would want any of these freshman. Potential? Not with this group. The whole team should stick around. They make early Darius Miller look like a badass tough guy.
I don't want a new coach. I want a serious overhaul of our team-building philosophy around here. Let's pull the curtain on one-and-done roster turnover. He's a master marketer and could rebrand this thing immediately. I'm not optimistic he will, but like Anth said, it's a good time to start with some of these guys.
Cal is a stubborn sob, and at this point, I'm kind of rooting for a total disaster this season. It's a weird place to be as a fan. Kind of apropos with everything else this year.
The two top candidates: Beard and Bennett don't excite me much. We have a lot of money to throw at it, but I'm skeptical that Stevens or Donovan are in the mix. Just can't see that happening.

Shorts:
- Congratulations, Swimmer. Dadding is an all-consuming affair but once the little one starts recognizing you as his dad and starts smiling and laughing when you’re playing with him, there just isn’t a feeling like it.
- So that’s awesome, but I think the best part of parenting is the shared disdain you develop with other parents toward dinks. You just can’t manufacture that kind of comraderie. It’s nice.
- As to Anthony’s point above, yes. This freshman class along with Toppin and Allen, should provide a pretty solid foundation with a similar class coming in next year. But of course none of us believe we won’t see the same ******** attrition.
And Cal could keep the guys who leave. He’s one of the best salesmen in basketball history- but he chooses not to.
- My wife’s old company was made up of approximately 80% 20-something women. Made it an awful place to work but they put on a helluva holiday party. I miss them.
- Dudes on HOB seriously arguing Jacksonville is a better place for a 22-year-old superstar QB to live than NYC. These hill people are out of their damn minds.
- Anti-vaxxers- pray I avoid those lunatics my entire life.
- I love a good “returning home for the holidays” movie but Sarah Jessica Parker’s character in “Family Stone” is so utterly unlikable that I can’t buy the plot in the least.

What about the prehistoric offensive philosophy, Anth? So we return all of these players next year but will it really matter until he changes and not only embraces the space & shoot philosophy but KNOWS how to coach & teach it?
Had our town’s luminary night last night. Pulled the solo out to the front yard, did some soash dist gifts with grandparents, took a family stroll around town, saw Santa in a convertible (my youngest is firmly in the “I know it’s not real but I want to believe” camp- parents enjoy it while you can), then grandparents went home and I left the kids and took another stroll after with the wife and dog. All in all a perfectly #smug night and kickoff to Christmas week.
If the past few years has taught us anything, it's to not take player decisions for granted. I hope Askew/Fletcher/Ware return, but I wouldn't bank on it. At all.
In fact, I feel almost certain one of those three won't be back in Lexington next year. Just because.

Until we get back above .500 (can't even believe I have to type that), Cal will be referred to as "SWWF" (slobby windbreaker-wearing f***)
Congrats swimmer.
Congrats swimmer.
A season where we have a core of 4-5 guys coming back with recruits coming in would make a WORLD of difference
