    Bill Self Returning

    As a boomer I somewhat agree and somewhat disagree. The boomers stretch from those born from 1946 until 1964. There was a real change in our society beginning in 1964 with the British invasion, the Vietnam War and the loosening of long held mores and traditions. I was born in 1946 and was...

    Bill Self Returning

    Not surprising. Very few of these guys know when to hang it up. It’s part of the narccissitic personality seen in most successful coaches.

    Curious about head coach when you became a fan

    Yes, but being from Eastern Kentucky Johnny Cox was my favorite

    NIL is a black hole that cannot be verified. I never believed the 22M but that is just an opinion. It would have been advantageous for UK to deny its accuracy but didn’t so there’s that. It should be remembered that transparency is not a strong suit of UK again when it would be to their...

    Curious about head coach when you became a fan

    I became avid fan in 58 and can still remember listening to the game on a radio against Elgin Baylor and Seattle. Saw my first gamel in 62 and 63 in Memorial Coliseum before it was historic to see Cotton Nash

    No way Duke can lose today.

    I think after all these years that Freshmen studs do not win championships. You said it yourself: look at the talent that Duke and Cal wasted. In a single elimination tournament you cannot rely on a freshman led offense. No coach will do any better with this system. However, getting good college...

    Always blame it on the coach.

    Any SEC team(s) in E8?

    This sounds exactly like the explanation for SEC football. I agree with your statement essentially saying there are precious few gimmee’s in this league. Every school is trying to excel and are spending money towards that goal. The cautionary tale is the Big 10 schools have more money and that...

    Who do you Guys View as the Blue Bloods in College Basketball?

    I don’t really give a rip. In sports I would rather be in the nouveau riche than the old blood.

    Worst Thing that Could Have Happened This Season....

    I’m not sure that the universities have the leverage in dealing with the studs.

    Pitino "We don't care about your missed shot, Play MF defense."

    Now that’s funny. Well done

    While I think that he was overpaid and was a made an important element in Pope’s vision of his team, I think this board thinks there is no injury unless there is an X-ray oo a fracture or resultant surgery. In addition we aren’t the only team with “invisible “ injuries. Look at Louisville and...

    I need to hear a reporter ask Mark Pope one critical question and follow-up.

    Totally agree. All coaches take the blame for failure even when you know it’s not always true. If a coach says I totally underestimated the talent or coachability of these players. Or these players were supposed to be the undercard, not the prime players implying they aren’t good enough , I...

    "Kentucky hasn't been consistently historically great?"

    I agree with you completely. My texts noting long times between championships are directed those who feel that winning it all is the only measure. There is no denying that since Covid we have underachieved our historical average. My question is can we recover our average or will we continue in...
