Get with the program. Pope is now Swaggy Mark and we love him again. 40-0! Build a statue! Move over Adolph!
Dickie V weirdly chimes in on our schedule

- Start date
It was the same thing with cal it was play some top teams, but our cupcakes are big-time cupcakes. They’re not like Quad two or even Quad three. They will probably be all Quad four games.. the last couple years with pope at the helm just a couple Quad 2 or Quad three games in the non- conference would make all the difference in the world
I wish him well but he definitely has a lot of mental decline. He is now irrelevant because of that
His opinion does not bother me. I agree it seems odd to single out UK for what most major traditional powers do. The reference to roster salary does seem like a skip on the vinyl.
Yet he wouldn't dare say one ******* word about the money they spend, that is against ESPN policy to talk bad about those **** wads.
Is it any shock that Kentucky has a nice run the last few weeks, getting Momcilovic, Hampton, new AD, and something like this comes out of left field from a guy who is basically fighting for his life these days with various cancers?
All I'm saying is, let me check that phone call history and see if Coach K didnt call him two nights ago. Duke had to stop the bleeding.

Good grief!Yeah go "check that phone call history."
I see someone's still butt hurt after the UFC thread lol.
Duke has a much easier conference schedule than us right now. 7 big-game opponents vs 5 is a little better than us, but then they coast most of the time in conference.
The ACC is unequivocally worse than the SEC as of late. That conference as a whole seems closer to the BigEast than it does the SEC or Big10.
ACC used to be at the highest tier, with the Pac10, Big10, Big12, BE and the SEC. But times have changed. SEC and Big10 are at tier 1.. and ACC is not.
On paper, Duke's non-conference schedule appears to be the toughest ever based on rankings. Using CBK Report rankings (yes, the AP could be a little different come October). Duke plays....
#1 Florida @ Florida
#3 Illinois @ Duke
#4 Michigan Neutral
#5 Uconn Neutral
#6 Michigan State Neutral
#9 Gonzaga Neutral
Georgia Neutral
They literally could have played the whole preseason top 6 however they can't play themselves.
Yes, the ACC is down, however the 2 ACC teams that Duke plays twice: UNC and UVA make it tougher than it should be.
A non-conference schedule like this has never been done before. Nobody's compares to this.

They're likely doing that BECAUSE the ACC isn't giving them enough chances to earn metric-boosting wins. Which, is the right thing to do, so good for them. But let's not pretend Duke is out here looking for tough challenges for no reason.
Fairly customary these days that top programs skip the strong mid majors, as it's a lose lose proposition. Those mid majors get stoked to play usually bring their A++ game.
Right now, the method that works is scheduling 4 tomato cans that you can wallop by 50 for the metrics and to get warm, then fill in with P5 schools to beef the resume up, and if you lose it's still seen as a quality loss.
That would be a really fun slate. Not sure if some of these schools will want the home and home given the neutral site offers more flex to capture $$$.
Either hosting, or heading to Cameron, Phog or Gampel would be a blast. Ville is a no brainer.
Every college in the NCAA is allowed to directly contribute more than 21 million to NIL.
He acts like we are unique in that…
He’s a Dukie weirdo and while I appreciate his contribution to the game, his opinions are worthless.

You do realize that EVERY school in the NCAA that is of any decent size likely spends the exact same amount right? There is a specific number schools can directly contribute from revenue sharing right? Guess what that number is….$20.5 million. Weird.
You sound as clueless as Dukie V.
What an obvious display of damage control.
You dont have to kiss our butts Dickie V.. just dont run your mouth about sh*t out of no where, completely unprovoked. Why does it feel like hes just one of half a dozen or so people like Goodman or that credit card theif who just have some weird disdain for Kentucky that randomly comes up?
Im telling you, someone didnt like Kentucky winning the last 2 weeks of the media cycle.
