looked at a farm in Versailles. No clue if it means anything.
That was an all-time great thread.Who can get the tail numbers on private jets out of Lexington going to Boston? Asking for a friend...
Heard Jay Wright’s wife has been asking about realtors in Lexington. Just saying.![]()
I want a picture of the door.
Cal till I die
I don't know who we'd go after but there just doesn't appear to be anyone in the College ranks that would be a viable candidate for the UK job. You have a few "flash in the pans" but that doesn't equate to long term success at a program such as ours' (see BCG). May have to go after someone like John Beilein in the NBA who's sick of dealing with players who run the team. I'm only throwing out his name as an example and not promoting him.Dude.. we've agreed several times, maybe ALL the time, when it comes to politics.. but holy **** man. Get it together.
And Brad Stevens isn't leaving the Boston Celtics.
Further, is he our savior? Two runner-ups are great (just as Cal has two-runner ups, with a title), but he did it with the same team, with Butler somehow getting a guy in Gordon Hayward who is WAY out of Butler's league.
What were his other years, outside of that team? two opening round losses, 2nd round loss, and a CBI Invitational. Before he bailed to the NBA.
Guy's a great coach. And he'd for sure get more resources here. But we continue to pick and choose these random time frames of other coaches.. like "Beard had these two good years!" or "Jay Wright won those years!"
I guess were going to have to take a stab at someone soon. But to think Brad Stevens or Beard or Wright, or anyone, is somehow going to get us back to the 40's/50's.. or Ricky P's little run.. is foolish.

I'm 64 and could care less now about what anyone thinks, but you're right.
There is no simple answer because we're Kentucky. The demands and expectations are naturally very high and it would be a tough search to find the right guy. Makes you respect coaches like Joe B. even more. I don't know how he handled the unrealistic expectations.I can tell you this.. anyone who thinks they have "the answer" to this question is flat out foolish. Those are the types who are just throwing darts, blindfolded.
Got to give the man credit. I had a relative that was 81 and got his 26 year old housekeeper pregnant after his wife died. Hope I got some of those genes.Ha, my dad is 67. You type much better than he does. He remarried and he has a 5 and an 8 year old, that are his. Imagine that. lol.
A 33 year old (34 in two weeks), a 7 year old, and a 5 year old. Guy is nuts.
Screw people skills and the people who suggest them. And I don’t really care what other people think of me. If you’re confident with your life, nobody’s opinion matters.. if not, then that’s another question.I think you need a good dose of "Sensitivity Training". My wife told me recently that I needed to work on my "people skills'". lol
LOL, I'm with you; I was being sarcastic. One of the reasons I retired this year was because I got tired of having that BS being forced on you at every turn.Screw people skills and the people who suggest them. And I don’t really care what other people think of me. If you’re confident with your life, nobody’s opinion matters.. if not, then that’s another question.

Joe B was forced to cheat because Wooden was cheating like the devil. Joe B was told to go do whatever to compete with UCLA but the NCAA turned their head on Wooden and came after UKAbsolutely
He is the best coach in the game period todayEveryone laughs at this comma but I'd literally give Brad Stevens 30M to coach this team. He's that good.
really? what’s the source on this one.Joe B was forced to cheat because Wooden was cheating like the devil. Joe B was told to go do whatever to compete with UCLA but the NCAA turned their head on Wooden and came after UK
Everyone laughs at this comma but I'd literally give Brad Stevens 30M to coach this team. He's that good.
Call him up. If you can afford to pay him that much then you should be able to afford Cal's buyout. I'm sure UK would be fine with not having to pay a coach's salary.Everyone laughs at this comma but I'd literally give Brad Stevens 30M to coach this team. He's that good.
They could be laughing because most people use this , instead of spelling it out.Theyre probably laughing at it because you’re acting like it’s your money but all youre doing is wanting to pay someone an insane amount with someone else’s money. I’d let UK pay a supermodel 5 million to have sex with me, everyone laughs at that but I’m dead serious!
He doesn't need a horse farm, Cal can sell him all the horse $h!t he will ever need.Same one Billy D kept looking at?
I mean Mitch is paying 10M to Cal a year for the next 10 years. Why do you care what UK does with their money? And wanting to pay a the best coach in the game a lot of money isn't comparable to you "banging a super model".Theyre probably laughing at it because you’re acting like it’s your money but all youre doing is wanting to pay someone an insane amount with someone else’s money.

I never said I could pay it lol.Call him up. If you can afford to pay him that much then you should be able to afford Cal's buyout. I'm sure UK would be fine with not having to pay a coach's salary.
It's a literary device showing that im being hyperbolic with the number. Sorry you cant pick up on it.They could be laughing because most people use this , instead of spelling it out.
"I'd literally give Brad Stevens 30m to coach this team."I never said I could pay it lol.
Why is everyone so fixiated on Brad Stevens ? The guy is not going to come back and coach in college. What makes you think that he is some sort of savior ?"I'd literally give Brad Stevens 30m to coach this team."
