    UL's only chance at a win?

    They are 8-1 but haven’t really played anybody. Best win is Tulane who is a Top 75ish team. They are certainly better than UL and are clearly the favorite but the line will be less than 10. If UL gets hot from the outside they could pull an upset.

    Dick move

    My understanding is that it likely will not jeopardize his redshirt. However, to answer the question the reason he was played last night was out of necessity. The two bigs that back-up Sharp were both in Covid protocol and were not available. The options were use the 6’ 10” kid who hasn’t...

    Is Coronavirus worth the panic of canceling events?

    I would buy that argument if he wasn’t two steps ahead of nearly all of our closest border states. Indiana, Tennessee, and Illinois are all one to two weeks behind us in their actions. Gov. Beshear’s timeliness has unquestionably saved some lives in the state of Kentucky. Forget political...

    Is Powder a Better Coach Than Pitino?

    I think Mack is a very good coach and is going to be (already is) a good hire for UL. He’s also a pretty likable guy. Only time will tell if he is elite.

    I Respect Brohm's Decision, But I Believe He Has Just Made The Worst Decision Of His Life

    I have no dog in this fight. Just two cents from a WKU fan. Even though he left WKU, I have nothing but the highest level of respect for Jeff Brohm. He did it the right way. He ALWAYS does things the right way. I believe he wants to be the head coach at UL. I also believe he gave his word...

    GAME THREAD Official Game Thread -- WVU vs. Western Kentucky

    Can’t comment on Buffalo, but WKU probably did have better players. We’ve got a P5 roster and we recruit like a P5. Currently on roster: Bassey: 5* Anderson: 4* Bearden: 4* Diange: 4* Murray: started for Auburn last year And our two leading scorers (Savage and Hollingsworth) were under the...

    Western Ky just took down West Virginia

    The Cats will be better than a 4 and the Tops are going to be much better than a 14.

    Western Ky just took down West Virginia

    I’m not sure you meant no tradition. Maybe non P5. But they’ve certainly got tradition. Probably more history in that program than all but about the top 10-15 programs in the country.

    Cal needs to get Bassey ...

    WKU has the inside track. Bassey’s guardian is also related to former WKU grad transfer Junior Lomomba and is the guardian of current player Mustapha Diange. Rumors are that WKU took those two (neither contributed much) in order to get in position for Bassey. He took a visit once already and...

    Anyone realize Western fighting for a berth tonight?

    They were tonight, but they aren’t the better team. WKU beat them by 25 at Marshall and again by double digits at home. Marshall has a funky system that allows them to occasionally beat teams that are better than them when they get hot, but also lose to inferior teams when they’re cold. A...

    Couple of thoughts.... CUSA and UCLA

    WKU got two top 100 recruits eligible in the past week. If they go on to finish the year strong you would think the committee would take into account that they played the first 15 games of the year with seven scholarship players because the other two kids were waiting on rulings. Even short...

    Bluffton, SC

    You're thinking of Steamer's. It has closed in Coligny with a new location opening in he redeveloped area at Shelter Cove. Dale Augenstein is the owner and is from Owensboro, but he's a big WKU guy. WKU memorabilia was all over the old place. Steamer's also does concessions at WKU football...

    WKU grabs UVA grad transfer Thompson

    It's more than 2 or 3. Last I heard there could be as many as 13 new faces on that roster next year! Stans has pulled in some high level talent. I believe he will have a 5* and four 4* on the roster this year to go along with Thompson from UVA, Mr. Basketball in Hollingsworth, and two other...

    Bowling Green College Basketball Fans

    I think the 90% figure above is a little high, but there is a lot of support for WKU in BG. I'd guess that 60% or so of the town are WKU fans, some diehard some casual. The diehards are WKU only and have a pretty big disdain for other state schools. The casual fans typically have other rooting...

    Kentucky boys ..... from instate ......

    He has signed two. One was Mr. Basketball and the other was offered after an unbelievable State Tournament, much like Cal did with Hawkins. Offer wouldn't have come if he didn't have four available. To go along with those two he also has a 5*, a 4*, and two other 4* transfers that become...
