    Like him or not, Todd Golden is a very good coach

    Golden is an excellent coach. IN a league full of coaching stars, he may be the brightest.

    Why hasn’t Mitch been run out of town?

    I get that, but when people ask "what has he ever done?" that would be part of my answer. Also, the one sport that generates the most money is football and Mitch has hired the most successful coach in school history not named Bryant.

    Why hasn’t Mitch been run out of town?

    There's no doubt that Mitch was behind on NIL, and it definitely cost our football program for a few years (though it seems as if things are better). What evidence do we have that he is still an issue with our NIL? By all accounts, UK has a huge war chest, so how is Mitch to blame? I'm not...

    Whos going to Indy?

    I'm going. Looking forward to it. I suspect that Purdue will have the most fans (local venue and they had a full day head start), followed by UK and UT both with a bunch. For whatever it's worth, ticket prices seem to be INCREASING for lower level seats as the week wears on.I bought mine...

    Who Will Have More Fans In Indy For Midwest Regional Kentucky or Tennessee.

    I think the thread is mostly off. For one, Purdue fans are very rabid and Indy is a home city for them. Second, UT fans are excited this year. They filled Rupp arena. They had a 24 hour head start on us, and their drive to indy is not all that far either. My predictions on fan counts for...

    Blue Not Getting in?

    Agreed, I've been saying this for years. The result is great turnout for UK games in sweet 16 / elite 8 / final four, but terrible turnout for the first and second rounds (unless those games are in a place like Louisville or Nashville).

    UK fans in Milwaukee

    We could lose to Illinois but they're one of the most underachieving programs in the country. They rarely win big games. The danger with them is that they will occasionally get hot and have a game where you think "whoa where has that been?" but then they regress to the mean and lose two or...

    Why do UK fans like the SEC tourney so much?

    I understand this sentiment but it's not usually the case. It's true that trips to the final four are VERY expensive. But, I've found that trips to the second weekend are usually very reasonable. UK is almost always playing in the eastern half of the country, tickets are usually not horrible...

    Why do UK fans like the SEC tourney so much?

    I've been. I understand what you're saying, but I don't have the same love for it.

    Why do UK fans like the SEC tourney so much?

    This is the best explanation I've seen. I'd quibble with the "getting tickets to rump is hard" point (I disagree, especially if you don't care where you sit), but the rest of it makes perfect sense. Question - why not go to the first weekend of the NCAAT instead?

    Why do UK fans like the SEC tourney so much?

    I guess, but for every UK-Arkansas 1995, there are five or six UK-Florida 2011 or UK-Ole Miss 2001.

    Why do UK fans like the SEC tourney so much?

    THIS. Also, the NCAA repeatedly tells us that this tournament has no bearing on our seed. Lunardi went into Sunday saying that Florida had the final 1 seed regardless of UT game outcome. Not sure why, but that was the storyline. It's a pointless money grab. it's still fun to win, and I...

    Hey Jimmy Dykes, without UK, the SEC Tournament is a GHOST TOWN!!!!

    Eh, you lost me here. This tournament has been in Tampa, New Orleans, Atlanta, St. Louis, and plenty of other places. Gator fans don't show up anywhere, even in Tampa. Too early to tell about Texas and Aggie fans, though I'd be in favor of having an SEC tourney in Dallas. UK fans have shown...

    Hey Jimmy Dykes, without UK, the SEC Tournament is a GHOST TOWN!!!!

    This. Good god, there is a segment of our fanbase that is unhinged. The final today will have a full house of orange as the Vols try and take down Florida.
