Our vehicles got some fairly significant hail damage yesterday. 
While I think it is stupid to pay the UK Hoops! HC that much money, it doesn't really bother me at all. It's not like that money would be going to assistant football coaches if it wasn't going to him, as some of the simpletons around here seem to think.
I understand his silly antics are a necessary part of trying to garner attention for his program. But whatever is going on now would piss me off, if a gave a ****.
But all women's basketball is just a money gobbling Title IX parasite sucking on the teet of UK football and basketball. The less I hear about it, the better.
I feel bad for Harmon.

I don't really have strong feelings about gal hoops or Potsie or his salary or whatever. There are plenty of dumb ******** out there getting paid too much money for reasons I can't comprehend.
MAC unis. Turf playing surface. Roster full of Ohio rejects.
Kudos to Stoops/Barnhart for executing their plan to turn us into the SEC's Toledo/Akron/Ohio.

That's our ceiling, man
I barely recognize/identify with the product anymore, save for the embarrassing losses.
Partly why I gave up. ****** experience all around, really.

I'd like to have Toledo's tradition. That'd be pretty sweet.
You can still watch the games on TV. In the privacy of your own home and no one needs to know.

You would have to pay me to watch UK Hoops games (what a dumb name). Went to one game when I was at UK because they were drawing students from the crowd to take a half court shot for a chance to win a semester of tuition paid for. Bolted after that went down.
LSU is paying Jones too much. Way too much.

I know that bonuses are worked into coaches contracts as incentive, but maybe we should start exploring penalties...I mean, hey Mark we are gonna give you a raise to 4.5 million a year! However, if you fail to make a bowl game (again) we are gonna take half of that back...and we're gonna send Potsie over to teach you how to run your locker room.
Toledo has the best mascot statue in all of sports.
Their "rocket" statue is set to corrrect ballistics trajectory to land at the middle of the 50 yard line at Bowling Green's football stadium.
I speak from a position of knowledge on this (wish I had designed it).
I don't think many of you understand just how thoroughly one sided these contract negotiations are in college sports. Feel free to cast blame, but EVERY program is guilty of the same.
You want to strongarm the guy? He'll just leave and get more $$$ elsewhere. It's absolutely amazing.

I just read an entire Joey Rupption post, and it was mildly intriguing. Now *that* is amazing.
I would cheat my *** off if this was my incentive.
I mean, Johnny B. Good level of cheating.
"University of Kentucky women's basketball coach Matthew Mitchell was arrested today after assaulting children with a wiffle ball bat at the Barnhart Family Wiffle Ball Field and Fun Times Emporium at Commonwealth Stadium..."
I DID IT LIKE THIS I DID IT LIKE THAT I DID IT WITH A WHIFFLE BALL BAT
We can't even find a competent coach as it is now. Can't imagine what sort of idiot goofball we'd end up with by employing some of these tough guy negotiating tactics.
Watched that 30/30 on USC during Pete Carroll's 9 years. At the end when people were commenting on how the wins were vacated and didn't count, they pretty much all said the same thing. We beat peoples asses and it was totally worth it, if we could put together another run like that we would take probation and a few bad years all over again.
F it, hire a young 30 something guy from D-II with a wife, kids, and a mortgage. Pay him $400k per (a **** ton of money) and give him a 3 year deal. Add a year to his contract per a successful annual review.
I'd rather have him coaching for his life than some bloated 50 year old millionaire who is more interested in cashing checks and socializing around town. TS.
Sort of like your MAX CONTRACT for content baseball players angst.
F Mark Stoops. What a jackoff.
Just to be clear...as in crystal...it isn't Potsies high ticket salary the infuriates people. It is the simple fact that he is a Div 1 Head Coach who honestly thinks he is Don Henley.
Like literally.
Like literally.
Miread the coaching for his life as "coaching for life."
Still, a pipe dream. At least if you ever want to be successful. Closest thing would be old school recycled coach you could pay 1-2mill.

I mean, yeah I'm a little salty Potsie makes way more than I do for coaching womens basketball...oh well, good for him I guess.
Lass is huffing that she got a random text message, reminding her to go out and VOTE FOR HILLARY next Tuesday. She is not a supporter.
Kind of funny Hillary could find her number but not her own emails... AM I RITE !!!!

Of course it's a pipe dream in real life application, but I'm not convinced it wouldn't yield similar-to-better results than what Fredo's given us at $3M+ per year. Would also be a lot more interesting/appealing, at least to me.
Regardless of what has transpired in Stoops first three seasons he was brought here because he was the "best of the best" when it came to defensive coaches/minds.
Whether we could score points and beat the big boys I was unsure of but I would have bet $$$$$$ that we would have had a pissed off hard hitting defense that would have kept us in most games.
The fact that we don't (conference bottom feeder defensively), and that was one of the main reasons for hiring the guy is troublesome and pretty much tells you how this is going to play out over the next two years.

kind of amazing our dinky little poor state is somewhat important with our late primary. Hilldog in Louisville yesterday, Bill touring the state and going to be on KSR. imagine it is pretty thrilling for Mag52, young idealistic liberal having Bill touching Clinton on his show.
Does this guy have a wife/kids/mortgage?
No doubt Mags would take the Cohiba.
