    Your all-time round-by-round run

    Man… these are fun. I was at Uk from 1993-98. I pinch myself to think I was there in the glory days of the ‘90s. I was so lucky! I’m trying not to let that skew and really trace my fandom back to the early 80s when making these selections. Mine are a little different but here goes: Rd of 64...

    Destin Florida

    Close drive for many Kentuckians (10 hours or less), so this happens a lot. Lots of people from this state vacation in the panhandle. We go every year and the same has always happened to me… no matter the time of year!

    Grade the Hire of the New Athletic Director - J Batt

    With so many universities in the red… where does UK stand?

    Yeah… I read this article last summer. Just didn’t know if there had been any additional updates since this came out. Thanks for sharing!

    With so many universities in the red… where does UK stand?

    Just asking. I know for bonded monies, UK has been doing well as construction on the campus would indicate. My question is more along the lines of how is UK doing operationally with all the cuts to funding? How is UK doing athletically when it comes to funding? I’m not really talking NIL but...

    Kevin Garnett: "Jamal Mashburn is probably one of the most underrated players in our history."

    Correct… I concur and have also seen many in my time.

    Updated rankings from ESPN and SI

    I think the biggest issue is we have to compete in all games. The Gonzaga debacle from last year was unacceptable on every level. Effort was a major issue in games last season. There were too many games in year 1 and year 2 where we simply didn’t compete and got run off the court. More in...

    Being a UK fan sucks *** currently.

    Mitch’s last year as AD has been one of his worst. From a success and performance standpoint, it was possibly the worst of his tenure for the total sports performance at Uk. That will be reflected in the directors cup standings. Volleyball and women’s hoops are the only ones who were truly...

    Any news on the AD position?

    Correct!

    Louisville needs/deserves and NBA team

    I never thought it would work that great in Louisville. Just never saw this as a major league town in any sport in the modern times. I’m 50 and have lived in the Louisville area for about 35 of those years. Whatever shot it had did sail bc Jurich and his hold on the city. Then Rick’s ego...

    I wonder if Nike is helping us with any money on our recruiting ?

    I talked with one of Cal's friends last summer. He lives in Lexington and regularly broke bread with the Calipari family. Ellen and his wife were besties. He told me lots of things, but did mention that relationship had really soured. Cal told him Nike treated him coldly ever since that pull...

    I wonder if Nike is helping us with any money on our recruiting ?

    Nike does nothing for Uk other than provide unis. Cal destroyed that relationship several years ago by pulling out of the Phil Knight event.

    SGA is now back to back NBA MVP

    This. People need to let these dudes go. They came for Cal. They gonna roll with him. Heck, even a legacy player in Reed… who grew up with two parents who played at UK and his dad roomed with Pope and is still close… he wore Arky gear before the game last year. That said EVERYTHING! It...

    POLL: Did Jayden Q do UK dirty?

    Look, this stuff is going to become pretty common place now. UL was pissed bc Adidas and his dad shut star guard Brown down. Their coach couldn't complain too much bc Adidias paid the fee for him to go to UL. Cards didn’t cover a dime. Cost them a pretty good season too when all was said and...
