    Reed is Forgiven in My Eyes

    He supported his coach, it was no big deal. The thing that gets lost in the shuffle is that if anyone could be upset at Cal for bringing him off the bench and limiting his minutes it would be Reed. He still supports Cal, so obviously his experience at Kenutkcy with Cal wasn't that bad.

    Purdue/UK exhibition at Rupp

    I totally agree after reading the new rules on scrimmages. It appears we can have two of these games which definitely enhances the season ticket package. Also, we can have two off campus exhibition blue/white games, that would be a great opportunity to take those on the road to other parts of...

    Purdue/UK exhibition at Rupp

    I agree, I think Memorial with only students would be a great idea.

    Am I the only that can’t stand this silly portal season?

    Can you imagine being a coach in the middle of it? You have to figure out if it is a fit. Budget the amount of money, meet the kid, see how he fits in your system and then determine if you get this kid, will it piss off one of your current players and have them leave. I am glad Pope embraces...

    How much will playing in a dome impact the game?

    Completely different look. Doesn't even look the same.

    How much will playing in a dome impact the game?

    2014 game was at 35,000 attendance like Friday, the Wisconsin game in 2015 was at 72,000. The UK/Indiana game will be at the 35,000 when we play them at Lucas Oil in December, 2026.

    Kentucky Women's Team

    I agree, we had three fouls to give in the fourth quarter with 17 seconds left. I would have used every one of them and not given them the time to set Poindexter up one more time. I also would have used those fouls to hold, bump whatever to not let her get a shot off. K-State did a great job...

    Butler can’t move, time for Chandler

    100%, stopping the straight line drive to the basket is what Butler provides that no one else can provide.

    KHSAA: Should Private Schools Get Their Own Division?

    It is isn't just private schools, in Lexington, with magnet programs, you can recruit just as easy as a private school. The smaller counties are at a disadvantage. The next point is that kids still want to play those teams. When I was playing, the city schools wouldn't play Lexington Catholic...

    Girls 4th region game ends on free throw violation

    It's a violation, it needs to be called, but call all the violations. How many 3 second violations are there every game? How many times do players carry the basketball? How many times do defenders put their hands on the offensive player to change their direction? The game has turned into a...

    6:19 left and we are up 5

    Was Cal right about Perry and maybe Noah?

    Not sure how old the OP is, but do a little Kentucky research of John Pelphrey, Deron Feldhaus and Rickie Farmer. They didn't contribute a lick as freshman, By their senior year, they became three of the most loved Wildcats of all-time. Sprinkle in some elite talent and they will have a great...

    Does mark Pope have it?

    I’m not sure the Danny Hurley or Scott Drew roster would be an upgrade

    Playing guys with 2 fouls in the first half

    I feel sitting players with two fouls is a lot like what to do with timeouts. You can't carry them over to the next game and analytics has backed the thinking of letting them play. Analytics isn't the end all and gut instincts and score plays into it as well. I would hate to sit a guy for 10...
