It’ll be a lower arena Rupp crowd in London, guys.

 

[WayneDougan_rivals170043]

Nothing like going to London in late November.

 

[BBdK]

Says the guy who just bragged about being in the Netherlands for 2 weeks during the same time.

Like other world class cities, London is incredible any time of year. We were there in February this year and it was amazing, just as it was on our summer trip. I expect the Holiday season will be extra festive. :sunglasses:

This one will be an extra chore obviously, but the common sentiment around here that only KFund elite make these trips couldn't be more off. BJW represents everywhere. :100points:

Tea is basically just dirty water.

 

[BBdK]

What's coffee?

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

I’m assuming a *very* small percentage of Kentucks even have a passport, which automatically weeds out a lot of the BJW class. Not sure if it’s a good or bad thing, but only our socially and financially best and brightest will be represented there.

 

[BBdK]

Then how do they get to Cancun?

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

What's coffee?

Dirty water loaded to the hilt with sugar, dairy, high fructose corn syrup, and French vanilla creamer.

Dumbass.

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

Then how do they get to Cancun?

Carnival cruise, between stops in Negril, Ocho Rios, and Cozumel?

 

[drxman1]

Soup beans, collard greens, and cornbread is a nice little meal.

 

[IkeCat]

Strange, I just posted in the acronym thread and then you make a food post

 

[MaxPowerrr]

Bengals have been making trips to London for a couple of years now.

but I guess Lexington went apeshit over their Cincinnati style steakhouse so this was a natural progression in imitation

 

[krazykats]

So we don’t want to play IU in Bloomington but we will play Michigan in London?

Who am I kidding I’m just glad to play someone besides MSU, Duke or Kansas the first game of the season and then UL around Christmas.

Should be fun!

 

[BBdK]

December won't be the first game of the season, Bub. The Champions Classic & Kansas will.

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

December won't be the first game of the season, Bub.

Hey now. Have you seen the full schedule?

Didn't think so, chief. This season may end up being different than the last 127, so let's see what happens before you go speaking to my friend like that.

 

[UKwizard]

Krazy hates playing blue bloods at the beginning of every year. K

DOCTOR WHO DEY

 

[Ron Mehico]

Krazy is just trying to act cool and snarky like everyone else in GYERO but doesn’t know how and is making stupid post after stupid post about it. Just stick to the bourbon thing.

Love playing a big ten team in a home and home series as a huge FU to Indiana, well played Cal.

 

[krazykats]

December won't be the first game of the season, Bub. The Champions Classic & Kansas will.

Which is why I said “besides” that game the first game of the year and UL around Christmas.

Maybe I wasn’t clear in the message but count me as being happy to play a non lower tier/midmajor between Nov 5 and Dec 25ish.

Sorry for the confusion.

 

[Ribsandwhitebread]

I honestly have no clue what krazy is trying to say

 

[KingLlama]

It's gonna have to be an afternoon game, Krazy. You good with that?

 

[BBdK]

Dude needs some cajun fettuccine alfredo, he's been off lately imo.

 

[Kooky Kats_anon]

Tiger with a 66. :golf::eyes::fire:

 

[cricket3]

I understand what he's saying and he's still wrong. We play UCLA, UNC, or Ohio St. every year during that time. We've also had games against Virginia Tech and Arizona State in the last few years.

 

[BBdK]

Georgia Tech, Seton Hall, Utah, Providence, etc etc as well + the SEC/B12 challenge in the new Year.

People confuse our home schedule (which sucks) w/ our OOC schedule. EVERY team plays a ton of cupcakes at home early in the year -- throughout Cal's tenure, our overall OOC schedule has been one of the better ones each and every year.

Plus, while boring when they come in bunches, our team needs those types of games as much as anyone considering we're a brand new team every damn year.

 

[krazykats]

Krazy is sick of not playing good teams. It pisses me off that we don’t play UNC/IU anymore and on top of that we used to have at least 2 quality opponents as well in addition to UL as our schedule for Nov/Dec.

We now play a good team Nov 5, and UL around Christmas then the SEC.

We are UK, and that doesn’t sit right with me. Losses be damned Id prefer to play good quality teams.

So I was originally laughing at not playing IU in Bloomington, but being able to play Michigan in London.......and then realized while typing it, I don’t care where we play good teams and I am happy to see a good team on our schedule.


Now that I think of it maybe I’ll set a meeting with a liquor distributor there and use this as a write off.

 

[KingLlama]

Ohio State is pretty good, even if their coach is from Jessamine County.

We play them prior to the celebration of our Savior's birth.

 

[paintrain_cat]

Soup beans, collard greens, and cornbread is a nice little meal.

Heard a doc asking for soup beans in the hospital cafeteria today as I was getting my coffee. Weird.

 

[BBdK]

Following up on previous Spotify discussion, their personalized year-end & decade wrapups are out. Good ****.

-Man, listened to Blueprint 1 & 2 yesterday/today...had been years. :fire::flushed: Really hammers home how bad Hip Hop is today.

of that we used to have at least 2 quality opponents as well in addition to UL as our schedule for Nov/Dec.
.

WE DO DIPSHIT.

We played #1 Michigan St. to open the Season (next year will be Kansas, then Duke), and we play soon-to-be Top 3 Ohio St. in 2 weeks (next year that game will be UCLA, and then UNC again)



​

 

[PuffyNips]

There aren't many teams that play 4 tougher OOC games than Michigan State, Ohio State, Louisville and Texas Tech. Throw in Utah and Georgia Tech and its a nice OOC slate.

Just UL and GaTech at home sucks, tho.

 

[BBdK]

Best teams on Notable OOC Home Schedules (throwing out the Conference Challenge Games, which aren't even scheduled by the Universities, and only at home every other year)

Duke: Wofford
Kansas: Colorado
Michigan St: Eastern Michigan
UNC: Wofford
Louisville: Texas Tech
Arizona: Illinois


...need to keep going? It's not just Cal/Kentucky, folks.

You can argue that many of those teams have better marquee conference games, and you'd be correct - but that's out of our control. Teams simply aren't lining up to do monster Home & Homes anymore, that's NOT a Kentucky thing.

 

[Ribsandwhitebread]

If I could set my dream schedule it would just be alternating between playing Duke and Louisville as many times as possible before conference play starts and all of the games would of course be nowhere near Rupp because of how bad the student turnout would be

 

[SAECATFAN]

Would also like to avoid any top seeds until the natty but of course the committee would never not F us/Cal.

 

[TCPUKChamps]

Last London trip involved an NFL game ending in a tie. I'll be staying away from that one.

Us, Brooksie. Us. Not just you. That Bloomington trip still pisses me off at least 3 times a year.

 

[Ribsandwhitebread]

Has Harris made a decision on supporting UK football in the future? Has the K-Fund concluded on whether or not he can keep his entire tailgate setup erected in a parking lot year-round?

 

[TheShowKiller]

Whocaresaboutoccschedulsucka.

All I really need is a John Wall or AD and a final 4 every few years, a title every 7 years, the ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, this magazine and the chair. And I don't need one other thing except my dog. Well I don't need my dog.

 

[buckethead1978]

Maybe this trip to London will get the Real ID **** fixed in Kentucky

 

[TCPUKChamps]

 

[krazykats]

Went back all the way to 1997 schedules, and ultimately I think what the issue is we used to start the season around November 20, and now or at least the past two seasons have started around Nov 5.

That two week span is chalk full of crap competition, whereas in the past it was 2-3 cupcakes and here we go. Now it’s weeks upon weeks of crap after starting vs an elite team.

I did not realize OSU is on our schedule this year which is nice, but damn it feels very hard to stay interested and care about these games.

I’m just ready for meaningful basketball.
