Cal (and staff) deserve a ton of credit. They've been a joy to watch. I will say the most impressive thing this season has been sticking to the early offense and getting good shots within the rhythm of the game. I've seen much less stall ball, sitting on lead type ******** offense this season. That has always been a huge source of frustration for me.

Now, they take (mostly) good shots without running down the shot clock. I think having a veteran team makes a huge difference in that regard. They've been through the wars and know what is a good shot -- and more importantly -- what isn't. He trusts these guys to make the right plays and has really taken it easy on the micromanagement of the offense. Props.

Also, shortening the bench has proved to help on-floor chemistry on both sides of the ball. We got a lot of good kids on this team who share the ball and don't sulk when they don't get PT.

As a Kentucky Basketball fan, you can't ask for much more. I've enjoyed the ride this season and believe they're likely to cut the nets down as anyone else.

Just trust them when it really counts, Cal. They've earned it.
You get an A+ from this teacher!

Just for a point of reference, does anyone remember what punishment Knight received for slapping Joe B Hall during a game back in the day?

Not to get ahead of ourselves, but if Tschibwe, Toppin and Wheeler return (which wouldn’t shock me), we’re looking at a wrecking crew.

Would need Sharpe or an elite transfer wing but Fredrick could step right in for Grady.
Haven't looked, but assuming Toppin isn't projected first rounder?

Saturday's game was huge, IMO. Our only struggles since the Notre Dame game have been due to injuries and we overcame them against a good team. I think these Cats can finish strong and make a deep run. Gonna be an exciting next 6 weeks.

Please Football Gods, grant us another dope *** OC immediately. We can take the next step, but it feels so fragile. This hire is massive.

Had a sandlot practice yesterday myself, but for grown ups. Arm is still live AF. Sore AF, too. I will be very sad when I can no longer pitch. Most fun, challenging, and competitive position I've played in any sport, for sure.

*The last time I played baseball was in a PRP alumni game a few years ago. My arm has HANGING the next day just from throwing "step-backs" to get warmed up before the game.

Did go yard though. so there's that.

*Speaking of, hope my buddy has a better season over there. Last year they were 17-15, which isn't very PRP like.
Scott Downs is a ****** blackjack player.

False on the E9. Not my fault it went 340 down the line and he couldn't handle it. He wasn't expecting that juice. Next at bat I crushed a couple more before getting walked (46:00). Another error free double at the 1:13:00 mark.

Willy, there was a runner that was stuck between going to third and coming back to second, which is why I was in undecided on what to do.

Oh…

Even if we offer more money if he’s OC of the Rams he’s basically guaranteed an NFL head coaching job within a couple years.
