Just a fluff thread on this Sunday. But the run in last night with the sly smirk, dude has charisma. Could this guy be what makes UK football watchable and relevant again?

Minchey never seems rattled. He's always calm, cool, and composed. I'm not sure Wall is the right comparison. Wall put UK basketball back on the map. UK football has never been on the map, except maybe a little on the fringes here or there.

Not that deep, bro. Guys can be that guy, no matter the sport. Try ead.
Whatever someone tries to bring a hoops comparison into a football discussion, it can't be deep. There's no comparison when it comes to depth. Not understanding that shows the problem.

God bless Minchey, but in no universe is he in then same athletic stratosphere in their respective sports. Wall was the number 1 draft pick in the 2010 NBA draft. I mean wth.
Here we go again: making hoops comparisons to football. Can't people give that sheet a rest and enjoy this football program for itself?

One thing for sure about minchey is him being a fantastic representative of the program.

From a fan interaction and school appreciate aspect Stein is absolutely killing it. Wonder how long it is till other programs copy cat the fight song singing.

Now contrast all the fan interaction and school respect with what we saw in basketball over the last 10 years or so. Night and day.

I hope he isn't Wall he never won anything
Yeah just won over 90% of the games he was here for how horrible. 😂😂😂. Top overall pick for the NBA, often the best guard on the floor and pretty much what revitalized Kentucky and made it the cool spot for countless top recruits after him.

. If kenny is the football equivalent of John Wall we.are cooking some of you don't have a clue ...

I don't know if you've been in a coma the last several years, but with nil players generally dont care where they are as long as it pays the most. That's why you have guys quitting mid season as just part of the sport nowadays.

Stein is taking lots of little opportunities to make players more connected to the program and fans. Its working. He says the more connected team will win and i think hes nailing that.

Yeah dude must hate John wall.

And by his logic minchey isnt gonna win anything either probably.

Anyways, I once again say its silly to compare sports but u can do it without trashing wall.

John Wall slander will not be tolerated here!
I've never really understood the John Wall hype. He may have been the most " talented " player we ever had but he never really lived up to any of it here, or in the NBA. The myth was much greater than the actual man.
