How hard would it have been to use the exact same logo that's on the bottom of the scoreboard? Someone is going to get called for stepping out of bounds when they're still in because of that logo.

Have to think it won't be long before schools start allowing sponsor logos on their jersey's. Quickest, easiest way to make up for lost attendance revenue.

I'd say we're above that but let's be honest - they're all selling themselves for the right price and with the 2A forfeiting one tournament and possibly another, would likely force the issue so long as they get a taste.

That logo on our basketball court really upsets me!!

Tuesdays are my day off where I go to the gym and grocery store and other assorted errands. Maybe it’s the Tuesday morning gym crowd but every single female was extremely muscular and exclusively in the free weight/power lifting section. Not a single one on cardio. A departure from the UK rec center as I remember it.

Very ready for some college bball - the masters this week is a nice touch though

sunset at 5 PM. 🤮 The lack of sunlight, not the temperature, is easily the worst part of winter

Picked up my first six pack of Great Lakes Xmas Ale, tis officially the season

Not true. We actually start dying around 25. Our cells regenerate until our mid-20's, when they start to decay.

I've long believed we should just age ourselves by counting how many years we have remaining according to the relative life expectancy (currently 78 for US men). So I'm 40. Create some urgency, remind folks to live a little, keep some perspective atkot.

In this scenario when you die at age 10 it's like yea that makes sense and he only left a decade on the table according to averages.

Given your smoking and drinking, I feel like you're in your early 30's.

Great Lakes Xmas Ale gets worse every year. Quantity is undefeated against quality I suppose.

Pretty sure we already have a sponsor (Nike) on our jerseys for all intents and purposes but really can’t wait for central KY’s favorite gas station pizza to splash the Hunt Bros logo on the back of our shorts.

The sooner our regular fans realize that UK doesn't give a rip about what they think the better.

At some point Memorial Coliseum is going to be renamed... a facility named to honor Kentuckians lost in war will be renamed as the Ouibox Center or Tempurpedic Arena or Valvoline Coliseum or some other nonsense.

UK is going to do what the sponsors tell them to do. Period.

Clean, classic court layouts.

I'm fine with that if it's done like the NBA jerseys as opposed to the WNBA jerseys.

They sell kitschy memorabilia that looks 1,000x better than what our idiot savants roll out. Just duplicate this but throw in Rupp Arena in the corner and be done with it.

I generally think there is way too much bitching about the bball program around here and blame it on the randomness of the NCAA tournament, but I'm with the majority on this one. It seems like we are the only traditional powerhouse (both amateur and pro) that has no handle on our branding/aesthetic. Pretty frustrating and definitely mind bottling.

I'll keep everyone posted on how I fall in line with other subjects as they arise. YWIA. Also, in the market for a UK henley if anyone has a lead.

-Our court is fine, and the new logo would be fine, if didn't look like ******* microsoft paint block realtor bus stop advertising. Just use color fonts and no stupid block.

-The Jayhawk is awful, btw. I'm in no way jealous of that **** show toucan monstrosity.

-Big fan of the state logo. Dope.

Over here thinking it’d be pretty awesome to just ditch Rupp this year, let them hustle up the construction etc., and play games in front of socially distanced students at Memorial HOWEVER I realize that’s not what college sports are all about these days.

Re: Isaiah Jackson, I'm hoping he isn't Marcus Lee pt. 2. Once again, youtube has me hyped. I think he might have the goods though, and I love his attitude. Would feel a lot better about him if I knew he planned on being here more than a year or two.

-Denim, monstrous triangle with other geometric designs, icicles, checkerboards, etc. We aren’t necessarily known for our classic and clean look. We’ve always been the tacky/flashy guys on the block . . . for better or worse.

No disrespect, but is there anything in particular on that mix tape that made you feel like he's going to be worth a damn? Can you give me like a specific time to watch. All I saw was a guy blocking shots from high school kids, a few passes I see people make every time I play full-court at the Y, some garbage put-backs, and some average dunks during warm ups.

Maybe next time we will get a highlight film with jump hooks, boxing out, and two handed rebounding
