    Three Things That Bother Me/Encourage Me About This Season

    Good post. I think the biggest bother for me is the respect factor. A good coach could lose his top 5 players and the rest will just play that much harder to try to make it up. Ours have straight quit several times on him. It's like having the perfect girl who likes to sleep around. It's a big...

    I’m sick of hearing about 3 years

    The mentality "he should get a third year" is definitely from the older crowd. If your significant other cheats on you today, are you gonna stick around another year because they've earned it? When you know, you know. If there is a year 3 of Pope we are 21 months away from starting a new...

    He’s Not Made For This Stage

    You can tell they left Mitch alone to make this hire. Mitch is a beta male operating in an alpha league... Mitch's current list, probably: 1. Scott Drew 2. Travis Ford 3. John Pelphrey 4. Brad White 5. Shaka Smart

    Why do outsiders question the backlash?

    Way too high relative to the resources available...huh? We spent the most of any team in the nation on our roster and are not even a top 25 team. The results for what we spent are way less than what they should be, and we are calling it out. What are we misunderstanding about what our...

    Nate Oats

    Ever since Oats came to Rupp and drug his junk over Cal his first time in Rupp, playing a style that I consider to be UK basketball, I've wanted him here. Add in his fire and intensity and it's a no brainer.

    Fire Mitch now

    Mediocre Mitch at it again. We do all know he was the Co-AD at the University of Tennessee for 12 years prior to coming to UK don't we? And we thought Kenny Payne was an inside job...

    Does anyone else believe like I do. That the only coach that Barnhart has contacted has been Scott Drew?

    His team defense has been ranked 107th and 72nd the last 2 years without Jerome Tang as an assistant. Kind of concerning. Nate Oats lost ALL of his assistants, replaced them, and still went to a Final Four...
