    Penn State in the news again

    What a bunch of doofuses. How long did they think they were going to get away with it when they were bringing in pledges and making them part of the operation? If anybody wants to read about some really wild drug related stuff, look up Ryan Wedding. He was a 2002 Canadian Winter Olympic...

    Skyy Clark to LSU

    This era of professional college players is bizarre. And I'm not talking about players being paid, though that's obviously a part of it, but guys like Clark (and his teammates RJ Luis and Mo Dioubate) who are milking the college game for all it's worth because they'll never make as much as a pro...

    1995 SEC Tourney title game against Arkansas was arguably the most exciting SEC tourney game ever.

    Someone mentioned Pitino wanting Rod Rhodes to play like Magic Johnson. Antoine Walker actually could have. He had a great handle and court vision for a guy that size. And he probably had more raw talent than Jamal Mashburn or any other Pitino/UK guy. Nice NBA career, could have been HOF if he...

    1995 SEC Tourney title game against Arkansas was arguably the most exciting SEC tourney game ever.

    Yes, and he played 72 career NBA games spread over 3 seasons and 3 teams. He was a guy who just quite wasn't good enough for the NBA. Same went for Jeff Sheppard and Wayne Turner. The difference with Rhodes was that he had been more hyped out of HS and he looked like that hype might be real for...

    1995 SEC Tourney title game against Arkansas was arguably the most exciting SEC tourney game ever.

    Can't agree with that. Rhodes was just a 4A player, meaning someone who was almost good enough to have an NBA career but had no outstanding part of his game that would make him a college star or worth a lot in the NBA. He was a good athlete with decent size for a wing, but nothing special. He...

    1995 SEC Tourney title game against Arkansas was arguably the most exciting SEC tourney game ever.

    A great random factoid from that era. UK trailed LSU and perpetual thorn in the side Dale Brown 68-37 in 1994 before coming back to win. From that 68-37 point until Brown's career ended, UK outscored LSU 402-252. 62-27 to end the 94 game, 127-80 in 95, 129-97 in 96, and 84-48 in 1997. And of...

    Skubal to Dodgers

    The Dodgers deferred compensation, for 13 players, is equal to nearly 70% of the most recent Forbes franchise value listed for the Reds. Better to do what they're doing than be a team like Red Sox, swimming in money but choosing to blow up a great roster and then wallow in mediocrity. But it's...

    UK basketball headed towards worst decade in its history

    Kind of inseparable. He was being an embarrassment in every possible way. Some people want to give him credit for recruiting because hey!, Patrick Patterson and Darius Miller and DeAndre Liggins. But it was also hey!, Michael Avery and Vinny Zollo and KC Ross Miller and an incredibly long list...

    Skubal to Dodgers

    Baseball's financial system has encouraged numerous welfare queen billionaires to buy teams. You buy an asset that is guaranteed to rise in value fairly dramatically over a relative short period of time. You can get a cash flow handed to you that meets or exceeds your operating costs on a yearly...

    UK basketball headed towards worst decade in its history

    Are you under 18? Because Billy Clyde Gillispie coached UK from 2007-2009. And it's damn near impossible to fail more spectacularly at UK than he did.

    Mason Williams

    The most likely answer is the 0-3 that has been discussed. But if UK got a steal, we'll likely see it. People love to talk about players developing, but the reality is that if a guy can really play, he usually shows it pretty quickly. Steph Curry got overlooked as a recruit because he was...

    Steph Curry Gets Own Exhibit in Hall of Fame

    First part right, second part wrong. Calling Curry the GOAT player is a troll job. Twisting yourself into a pretzel to deny he's the greatest perimeter shooter of all-time is almost equally so.

    Steph Curry Gets Own Exhibit in Hall of Fame

    I can name 10 guards better than Curry.1Jordan2. Stockton 3.West, 4. Berry,5Bryant 6 Sam Jones 7.Hal Greer 8.Oscar Robertson 9.George Gervin 10.Dewayne Wade 11. Reggie Miller. I would rank Curry about 12. He brings nothing but shooting,as good as that is,to the table where all the guys in front...

    Steph Curry Gets Own Exhibit in Hall of Fame

    OK. He shot 5% lower on 1/6th the attempts. His highest % for any single season is barely above Curry's career %, and Curry has 8 seasons as good or better. Had he played post Steph, he definitely would have been a holy terror as a 3 point shooter. But he didn't, and even if he did, he was...

    Steph Curry Gets Own Exhibit in Hall of Fame

    Rigggggght. Because lower top 50 players in the league win 6 conference titles and 4 championships. Exactly half of each of those without Kevin Durant, BTW. So Klay Thompson and Draymond Green must be 1st ballot HOF players, right? Right?
