I think it may be posters here who are out of touch with the athlete of today. This touch money thing is so over blown. Don’t listen to the stories about the UK WR room on the football team if you are offended by the phrase. They have a similar slogan.

If you want to hear something akin to a toddler explaining quantum mechanics, I’ll tell you what I thought a death nail was lol:

I thought it was an expression based on old wooden caskets, like the nails that would enclose it. (no idea if they even actually used literal nails now that I’m thinking about it.)

😆
Reminds me of the song “Hold me closer Tony Danza” by Elton John.

People don’t wanna hear it from a 14-loss team that will go down as one of the most disappointing seasons in program history.
If they were good, no one would care.

All jokes aside, I was just biting my time, but phrases like "death nail" or "doggy-dog-world" are examples of "eggcorns." You can see a list of 100 of them by clicking the link below.

100 "Eggcorns"
Many of those were posted originally on Cats Illustrated my favorite was "minus whale" as in "Minus whale except the fact that we ain't winning the tournament." We had a long list of them in one thread. Many contributions were accidentally made in actual threads there. Haven't seen "goody tissues posted yet. That was a good one.

Atoadaso, it's not rocket appliances, get two birds stoned at once, he passed with flying carpets are other good ones. I initially saw these on a list of Rickyisms from Trailer Park Boys.

The good thing is if Keegan Brown can put together a good enough roster this year, I’m confident he can keep the train rolling and build a consistent winner at UK. We need consistency more than ever and this might be a bitter pill today, but it keeps us from having to overpay every player on the roster. Year one, we had guys who wanted to be here. Year two, we had touch money on three. This was the end of touch money.
It’s “death knell.”

People want both the end of touch money on three and for UK to just go be the highest bidder.

Yep Anthony davis and them could've made that statement if NIL was a thing back then and it would've went on a shirt probably. Pretty bad look from a terrible team and some non UK caliber athletes who basically really only accomplished touching money because they sure didn't experience winning.

It was not one of the most disappointing seasons in program history to anyone that actually understands the impact of injury and schedule difficulty. That is an exaggeration.

That doesn’t explain not being prepared to play and then just quitting.

How any UK fan can excuse that is just beyond belief.

That is just based on your hater interpretation of things. I have seen it all before. We don't exactly know what all the issues were for everything that occurred this past season. I have seen worse happen here for sure.

What is a death nail
It would be nice if our fans could understand the English language, wouldn’t it? Would be less embarrassing on the national stage. We could post a sign stating the minimum IQ/education required to post here. The Rafters world would be a better place. For the rest…Arkansas and Mississippi are 👇that way

Semantics Police do not like “death nail,” a conflation of “death knell” and “the final nail in the coffin.” So noted. Repeatedly.

I just wish we could get back to landing some pre-Madonnas to run our fast paste offense.
