As soon as Tennessee went Nike and incorporated checkerboards into their uniforms, they were dead to me.
screw that. Plus, we have won **** with them.

Easy to see who does and does not have respect for Secretariat around here.
"Next up on Kentucky Sports Radio we'll have search committee member 'KrazyKats' explain their rationale on UK's hiring of Walter McCarty"
ICYMI Here’s Mitch empathizing with the fans and really doing a nice job setting everyone at ease with regards to the uniforms. All we can ask for, really.

Pretty sure Cornell had a suicide problem at the time that I may have exploited for personal entertainment.
Who could forget this ******* leading the charge with the racist narrative leading up to the Cornell game in the 2010 Sweet 16. Ahh, a bunch do good wealthy, white kids from the Northeast playing a bunch of inner city, poor black kids abusing the sanctity of college basketball by using it as a platform to play the game at the highest level and make millions of generational type wealth money.
I don’t think I’ve ever been so fired up and that includes Forde & Thamel going through extreme
measures to get Bledsoe’s high school transcript to ruin his career all because of a personal vendetta against Cal.
Then Mags went on Shaughnessy’s radio show to defend UK’s players and despite those New England chap ******** playing banjo music in the background when Mags spoke he absolutely ran circles around them.
Man, I miss those early Cal days. The elite level talent. The us against the world deal. Cal constantly taking shots at Pitino/UL and backing it up. All of it. It was intoxicating.
They just aren't good enough to sport for half a decade, that's all.
The checkerboard, as stupid as it is, doesn't offend me as much as I think it should be used in a subtle and creative way. I'm sure my nemesis Wildcat Willy could come up with something cool in 45 minutes. Meanwhile, Duke and UNC have a new alt uniform every other week.
He’s a pretty damn good AD (definitely the best we’ve had), but his attitude drives me nuts on this ****. This, the “microwave society” comment, etc.
Maybe I’m just a BJW at heart.
We’ve had the same uniforms every single game for 4 years. In Cal’s first 7 years we had 10 different uniforms.
We had near perfection and we wore them once.

I don’t see that it’s BJW to consider Mark Pope as an option if Cal leaves sooner than later.
In his first season at BYU they played KU pretty tough, and after getting beat by 30 against Gonzaga his team bounced back and beat them a few weeks later.
I absolutely think he is a coach to keep an eye on.

You simply CANNOT trust a man who buttons his top button on polo shirts to pick out appropriate and appealing uniforms.
I’m pretty sure that it’s Cal that does not want new uniforms. Because if he wanted them then he’d get them
Clearly I agree. Building up a Utah Valley St was impressive enough for BYU to take a chance on him and he has them competitive, top 17 ranked in the nation and could possibly be a sweet 16 team in year one.
I understand he has more to prove, but I’m projecting that unlike Ford(despite a bounce back at SLU), Pelphrey and even Shaka Smart that Pope will in fact be a success because of what I see from his team.
Not just one or two players carrying their coach to a promotion.

I still can’t believe we have an intrateam SEC POY race ... and the candidates are Richards and Quickley. I love our OADs, but am getting a lot of satisfaction out of the personal growth from these two.
If Wilder "lost his legs" due to wearing a 45 lb costume while he slowly strolled 50 yards over a flat surface and then climbed up a half flight of stairs to get in the ring then I'm not sure he is fit for any sort of rigorous athletic activity.
Lost his legs when Fury exploded his ear drum.
Didn't scouts say Warren Moon had small hands, too? He only was the originator of the Run 'N Shoot.
Are Mormons even allowed to leave BYU for another job? How’s that work?
Had an absolute blast, doggy. Great crew. Heckuva Saturday afternoon and into the evening. The ending of the Cats game with the backdoor cover was hysterical while seeing everyone’s reaction. We need to do it again.
-nice little monday evening dinner with doc at obc. I grabbed filet/crab cake...he got the halibut*.
-the other posters that were sposed to be the pussed out, sad.
*jk...he got a steak.

Sure would suck to be able to have that sort of fun closer to home...
There are a couple utterly moronic coaching selection opinions out there that for whatever reason continue to get traction in today's world, even with you’re everyday Joe understanding analytics.
The first, which especially applies to football, is that the skills needed to be a good coach transition over seamlessly from being a player. You see this a lot when the left is complaining about the lack of black head coaches - even though the percentage of black head coaches roughly align to the proportion of black people in America.
The second, and this one's less logical than the first, is that being a player from a particular university or team is going to make you better suited to be a coach at that college or team. All this Mark Pope talk is evidence of that.

Nice lil treat on a Monday.
Our coaching hires have followed a pattern ever since Rupp: Hall of Fame coach; solid, championship level/not HoF level coach; drunk/cheating coach we'd like to forget.
Rupp
Hall
Sutton
Pitino
Tubby
Billy
Cal
?
Next will be a Joe B./Tubby level coach, hopefully more like the former.

The “replacing a HoF” guy also has a connection to the one he replaces. Cmon down Josh Pastner, imo
I think the Sutton = Billy G comparison that people make with that coaching pattern is an insult to Sutton.
Had what happened to Sutton happened in 2020 UK would have lawyered up, denied everything and hired Snoop Dog to perform at Big Blue Madness.
They enjoyed their adult beverages but that’s where the comparison ends, imo.

Eddie Sutton's tenure had moments. Billy G had what, Meeks's big game and that's it?
Eddie Sutton was pretty damn good at Oklahoma State after leaving here. Billy Gillispie went 8-23 in his lone year at Texas Tech and had 15 (?!?!) players leave the program during his tenure, per Wikipedia.
We aren't really comparing apples and oranges here.
Eddie should have bought Sean another necklace and some baby wipes, imo.
Had we not played LSU for a 4th time Eddie Sutton hangs a banner in Rupp. Not a doubt in my mind.
