    Who will be the first P4 program to shutter or end athletics?

    This was inevitable. Nothing to do with price of athletics. Declining birth rates. Pretty easy math to do there. Insurmountable debt. When doctors and other high earners struggle to pay off loans…something has gone awry. Good money to make just getting to work as soon as you’re legally able...

    Kentucky is Near the Bottom of the SEC in Athletic Donations...

    Good! I’m glad that talent is spreading out! The IUs, Vandys, and UKs of the world were never going to compete in that old way. When elite talent would just as soon be relegated to 2nd-3rd string/ST roles as opposed to contributing more at smaller Schools and not be able to easily move once...

    Kentucky is Near the Bottom of the SEC in Athletic Donations...

    Well out of the top 3 there’s 0 titles in BB or FB in relative recent history. Soooooooo I guess money doesn’t buy as much hardware as folks think it does. Never has in college sports.

    President of UK interesting

    Cap is actually a very quiet unassuming nice guy. Don’t necessarily agree with everything he has done or not during his tenure, but I’m not sure random students out of 35,000ish not ever running into him is much of a story. Would bet almost anything that most students at most large schools...

    Nick Roush put Bama on notice.

    The big dogs always have closer than comfortable games early in the season. I’ve always said UK needs to do whatever they can to get UT, UGA, Bama…early. This is even more true in a new era when the playing field has leveled. I don’t want a top 5 in conference and most likely country coming...

    Vrabel still working. Dirty Diana not so much

    Mike Vrabel has been the dude since high school. He’s most likely had as many chics as he’s wanted since then…all through college and pros. Diana has been a hot little thing since high school I’m sure she’s had no problem attracting the jocks. This is what happens when you integrate women into...

    Expectations for the upcoming football season

    A better offense, specifically passing game. -Talent evaluation and acquisition -development -game planning -game day Xs Os It’s pretty much that simple. If the Stein regime can consistently move and score the ball through the air, 7 wins isn’t an unreasonable expectation. I mean CMS’ floor...

    Hypothetical Jai Lucas Question for Those Opposed

    How much time does he get would be my question? Mark Pope is on the hot seat with fans. Barely two years in. Those against Pope and for Lucas or anyone else, how much time does the next guy get?

    New Low - Duke's Bench Better Than UK's Starting 5?

    We’ve had plenty of benches better than starting 5s…and most of those teams lost to teams full of Trent Noah’s, Travis Perrys, and Collin Chandlers… Billions of dollars of max nba contracts…one title folks. Don’t forget that when you’re getting all worked up about missing out on top rankings.

    Kentucky name has never guaranteed recruiting success

    Cal and the OAD era changed things. He was incredible at hyping and “winning” the media, emotion, pomp and circumstance… Regardless of whether it was a great season, okay season, less than expectations season Cal was going to win all the other seasons. Draft combine, talking, and eventual...

    Arkansas

    Been a long time coming. NIL will get the blame but that’s more or less the last straw as opposed to entire haystack of things. Started with gigantic coach and staff salaries for football and basketball. Then you have buy outs. Now you have NIL. Honestly started long ago with the addition of...

    Perry to Dayton..

    I didn’t say fill the roster with 15 Kentucky kids. A couple playing a role on a team isn’t going to be the ruin of the program. Not everyone makes huge jumps from year 1-2. Especially role players. With them it’s year 3-4, maybe 5 if they redshirt or get a 5th year exemption. Cal never did...

    Perry to Dayton..

    Should’ve stayed put. Year 1 with Perry playing a small role among a bunch of other misfits went a lot better than year two when Pope tried to keep up with the SEC Jones. Be like Oates, get a bama kid…be like golden get a Florida kid…be like Cal get an OAD who’s going to use UK to rehab and...

    THE TUBBY BOOM

    Great coach great guy. The Athletic Department needs to move him back to Lex and let him be around the program.

    Michael McNair from Boston University

    I think you have to stock up on mid majors. Especially older guys with 3 years of run. Seen plenty of teams in football do it and have great success. IU Chief among them. Half the elite 8 teams had players from Drake and similar programs it seemed like. The game is going through another...
