    Worst hire than Billy G. If true (Posted April 2024)

    This is not even on the same plain as the Gillespie hire. Pope understands Kentucky, and what he is stepping into. Billy Clyde was immediately overwhelmed, and it led to him leaning into an addiction that escalated very quickly and became incredibly destructive. Pope is certainly not the type...

    Hot take - I want Louisville to be good again

    I have zero interest in playing UofL in football or basketball. Very good chance next year will be the last time the football series is played. Happy if they drop basketball as well. I have never considered them a rival. For those who can remember the only time we ever played the Cards was...

    Transfer portal has gotten ridiculous

    College Scholarships are year to year. Personally, I never understood how it was legal to block players from transferring in the past. Colleges could start offering guaranteed multi-year scholarships. If you get hurt, you don't develop as a player, you choose to stop playing a sport it doesn't...

    Nowell even said the obvious after the game ....

    Jim Boeheim is just sitting at home. Any chance we could hire him to teach Cal the 2-3?

    Tubby in the house

    People have been peddling this nonsense for years. Saul’s Freshman year was Saul and Wayne Turner. His Sophmore year was Turner and they signed JP Blevins who had been originally offered a scholarship by Pitino and was considered the point guard of the future. Saul’s senior year we bring in...

    If Rick Barnes IS a candidate for any coaching openings...

    Barnes isn't going anywhere. He will get a big raise from Tennessee and will retire in five years after the Volunteers get sick of the big regular season followed by opening weekend flame-out that has become a Barnes trademark. I do suppose he could end up at some small conference school. Toledo...

    What was the reaction to the hire of Gillispie on here?

    BCG was an example of how an AD can underestimate what it takes to be successful at a program. Kentucky is not a place for the hot new coach. It is possibly the toughest place to coach in America and it will absolutely grind down whomever is in that hot seat. It will happen even faster for...

    Pitino and Tubby

    I decided to dig around a little because I do not remember Donovan's name coming up at all during the search to replace Pitinio. I also was incorrect about Lute Olsen. Here is what I found in terms of what CM Newton said. ''Tubby Smith was the only person on the list,'' Newton said of the...

    Pitino and Tubby

    Please show a link to saying the players voted for Donovan. I would have to go back and look but I doubt there was a player on the roster who was there when Donovan was an assistant and at the time he was a mediocre coach at an SEC Rival.

    Pitino and Tubby

    I don't know who is trying to push the Billy Donovan narrative, but he certainly was not in the conversation. At the time they were hiring a replacement for Pitino, Donovan had been at Florida for two years. His best season with the Gators was 15-16. No one at Kentucky was going to even have a...

    Letter to the editor in herald leader

    I have no interest in the racial debate. However I am still mystified as to why Saul Smith doesn't get his due with UK fans. He only started two seasons, however I believe he is still in the top 10 all-time in two different statistical categories. And I believe he may be top 20 in a couple of...

    Jared Vanderbilt is absolutely the most ridiculous...

    I will have to look up the current Rookie scale, but I believe the lowest a first round pick will make in the NBA is around 1 million per year and that is a three year guaranteed contract. There is almost no chance that any basketball player not taken in the first round will make anywhere close...

    Which team would you like a home and home with?

    Penn, Butler and New Mexico would be my top three. They all play at historic venues that are consistently rated in the top 10 and I don't ever recall getting a chance to see Kentucky play a regular season game at any of them. OK St would be the next in line.
