One small positive maybe is that we took 476 3 pointers in 25 games compared to last year's 458 in 31 games. Now making them is another thing. Baby steps?

- Fire Joel. Yesterday.

- Bring back Bullet Head as your ace recruiter and confidant that will challenge you.

- Bring back Brooks, Boston, Toppin and Mintz.

- Powell becomes Cat.

- Get one more high level transfer

- Get rid of these off brand uniforms.Trivial but it would resemble a clean slate with the fans.

- Serve frosties in Rupp.

- GYERO Convention at the Champions Classic in Chicago to announce the Wildcat Reckoning Tour. WWH buying drinks, Wodie rapping, Anth bitching about his steak the night before... The works.

The mid-late 70's were some highwater marks for UK athletics. That 78' team was walking the campus at the same time as Sonny Collins, Derrick Ramsey and the 76' SEC Champs. That's my old man's era.

I didn't realize the childhood connection that Lee and Goose had, pretty cool. I know I would have worshiped Goose's game, so smooth.

Some hometown connections for me as well, Tripp Ramsey, Michael Phillips (Mike's son...Mike moved to Madisonville after his playing career).

Cool looking back at that old footage.

Spin the narrative, lol. You earned those stripes.

Actually a decent little day out there. May have to put the top down.

I do love my morning coffee. An uninterrupted first cup of the day is the most calm and serene I’ll be.

Somebody cue that Villanova game winner. Every time he posts should get it.

Taco Tuesday, pork shoulder going in the crockpot as we speak.

The tar heel mascot needs to be cancelled anyway. Who else has a mascot that represents the confederacy? Ole Piss got rid of theirs.

I'm still in a bitchy mood about the season, but yet another cheers to Top Button for reducing the UofL fan in my office to eating crow in the firm bracket pool after talking mess two weeks ago. The Lord's Work, Mitch. Blessings.

* I've got Jim Calhoun's "NOT A DIME BACK" statement rattling around in my head as I state...

No matter what happens next year, even if we go 40-0 and win every single game by 20+, every single one of us who posted negative, Calipari-hating, redass commentary here over the past few months will remain completely vindicated. It was deserved. Totally warranted. No apologies.

* Speaking of which....reading everyone post "we just need X, Y, and Z back and let's ball!!" should be a great reminder of how close we are to contending, and how the line between "worst UK team ever" and "potentially hanging #9" is razor thin. I mean, we basically just need 1 more great transfer and our guys who played like *** to return. That's really not much to ask.

* I know everything and everyone is being canceled, but I just re-watched Pulp Fiction for the 900th time ever this weekend.

- white dudes (including the produer/director/writer) dropping n-bombs
- male-on-male gang rape
- up close shots of intravenous drug usage

Let's keep this a secret. Don't want the #wokemafia to find out about this movie and cancel it.

GREAT flick.

* Tyler Childers current top 5:

1> Gemini
2> House Fire
3> Long Violent History
4> Creeker
5> Messed Up Kid


* Prince Phillip returns home from the hospital. I'm open to all conspiracies involving him actually dying 20 years ago. Lord have mercy, that dude's seen better days. Or rather, the puppet that was stuffed inside a car and photographed being driven home has, anyways.

* Ladies and gentleman, you are now looking at a member of the 2nd District Police Community Advisory Board. I qualified by.......filling out an application when I saw it pop up on Facebook. Marcus.

PUT SOME RESPECT ON MY NAME.

* I don't have the balls to do it, but given the situation in the thriving real estate market, it sure would be cool to put my house up for sale at some ridiculous six figure premium. I mean, just to see what happens.

* My city just got $375 million from the feds as a result of this stimuli. Jesus H Christ. That's half the annual budget. I'm sure it will be used wisely. F'ing crooks.

* Ryan Fitzpatrick signs with his 9th NFL team. That guy is awesome.

Obviously that Wal-Mart trash is a hit with someone. We know Willy loves it. We're dressed like an Arena League Football team.

I don't love the checkerboard ****. I'd much prefer the classic look. I just don't care about unis as much as some of you guys do, as long as the players like them. But I don't think the players like these, either.

Now keep my name out of your lies, Donald Jr.

Only warning, today. I'm not in the mood.

* Calipari hates to lose. No matter what some of you keep saying about his contract or the stupid nonsense he spews in his version of coach speak. The guy hates to lose and I think he will come back with a vengeance. I really do.

* I don't think Justus Files makes much of a difference as the 3rd or 4th assistant or whatever he is. But I now want him gone just so some of you will STFU about him.

Richie has been ripping him from Day1. He genuinely dislikes the guy. I respect that. I enjoy that.

The rest of you are not Richie.

* Bring some guys back. Bring some studs in. Make some shots. Win some games. Profit.

* I hate most of you. I love some of you. I want you all to have a swell day. Now leave me alone.

Speaking of canceling - I happened to catch Tropic Thunder the other day l. [laughing] Robert Downey Jr in blackface, making fun of drug addiction, simple Jack, gay jokes, the Asian stereotypes.

What’s funny is that was a pretty average, tame comedy when it came out. Shows have fast social media has changed things. Cracked me up though

This transition from "fire Cal" to "Cal's going to figure it out" is nuts. These guys went 9-16. This wasn't a situation where someone got hurt and we went 16-12 and barely missed the tournament. This is a Tim Lincecum losing his stuff and posting a 5.18 ERA a couple years after going back-to-back on the Cy Young award situation. Cal. Is. Finished.

Wouldn't hurt my feelings if he quit tomorrow but that's just not going to happen. He's damn sure not getting fired. So might as well see what we can do.

Also, it's nothing like Lincecum.

Bookmarked.

I hope I'm wrong... but I don't see the talent coming in and it's not like Cal is ever going to improve his offense. Perfect example: the last 5 minutes of the Miss St game in the SEC tournament was a freaking re-run of the end of the 2015 Wisconsin game. This old bastard just doesn't know how to coach, but now he's not getting top talent.

what are the expectations for next season even if we did return everyone?

Do you think the talent is there with the current roster to make a final four?

what would we have to add to get there?

I don’t see the talent even with improvement to contend. Naturally we will be better than 9-16 next year but without a complete stud coming in it’s looking like another ten loss team next year

Collins is and big hoss transfer from WVU appear to not have any talent. Mintz, Toppin, and Brooks won’t improve. Neither would a sophomore Boston.

Boston isn’t coming back. Realistically we should have:

Askew
Allen
Mintz
Toppin
Brooks
Ware

come back. That’s at least a solid core to build some continuity. I expect Sarr, Jackson, Clarke, and Boston to leave. We need a good transfer PG and that’s at least a solid team to transition out of heavy one and done. It’s not gonna turn around overnight it’ll take a couple years to get back as a contender IMO

I think the validity is the fact that Cal won't be telling Boston he has leave for the NBA and won't have a scholarship like he has in the past with other first rounders..
