Compared to your lustful and forgiving eyes for only Cal....yes, they were. Wise up, shallow one.
-this is a family argument. Best you sit it out, uko.
The old video boards had dead cells where there where blicks that jyst stayed black. They definitely needed to be replaced.
Bigger isn’t always better. We just needed video boards that work and aren’t an embarrassment.
- UK has averaged 1.2 ncaa tourney wins last 7 seasons. 1.5 if exclude Covid season which you pretty much have to.
- March 2023 will be 5 years since UK won SEC tourney title.
- March 2023 will be 5 years since UK won SEC tourney title.
UK football has won three bowl games since UK basketball has won an NCAA tournament game.

I don't think that video boards are the be all end all but it is kind of unspectacular to only add 4-5 feet to each side of the board. If they're going to do anymore upgrades, unless they bowl in one endzone, they should make a huge scoreboard going about 3/4 the way across the endzone. Also, if you aren't replacing the single wide trailer suites, at least put deflectors at the top of them to reflect sound.
I don't see any issue with the video boards, especially if they'll no longer have some dead cells and are a little wider.
I've seen several facilities with a giant board that blows ours away, but it's only 1 board on one side of the field.
Do most college stadiums have 2 enormous boards? Honest question.

Have they fixed the sound yet? For about the last 15 years you get blasted out of the stadium if you sit on the West end and can hear mostly everything on the East end.
Cal could have made his point about the facility without dragging football into this but ran his mouth too much and ended up saying some **** he had to walk back at the time. The problem is that his narcissism didn't allow him to say anything remotely close to what I'm sure he intended. Which now results in a completely unnecessary spat between our two biggest programs. The tweets have been fantastic though.

-The lack of wifi in that stadium is just ridiculous in 2022.
-He probably will eventually, but Cal not walking anything back by this point is a message in its own right IMO.

In the SEC? Yep.
going to aTm was an eye-opener…
was just hoping that the new board would be a bit more adapting to the surrounding void above the end zone.
It's proof that Cal does feel pressure, that's for sure. He was king here from 2009 until about 2019. That's a heck of a run at UK. But Stoops has taken a lot of that luster through good old fashioned hard work. He's infinitely more relatable to BJW, so many gravitate toward him and are starting to bark a bit for Cal's incessant failure.
I'm glad he's pissed, he should be, but he shouldn't be at the expense of someone else's work.
Tornados destroy KY, floods destroy KY...lets make a big scene about upgrades to a basketball facility and build an interactive museum. Lets say this publicly, while living it up in the Bahamas, seems like perfect timing.
And, UK basketball has finished higher in the season end national rankings 4 of the last 5 years.
I seem to recall Cal leading a telethon that raised $2M for those victims. But I can’t recall the details- it was only two weeks ago.
Was wonderful and he has been wonderful, just bad timing and im piling on. That was my last pile on. We move forward.
It's a minor point, but... you're wrong. You're also including a year where there wasn't March Madness for anyone due to that whole world-wide pandemic just to fudge the numbers and make it look worse rather than be intellectually honest about it. The actual last 7 NCAA tournaments that have been held we have 0, 0, 3, 2, 3, 1, 4 wins = 1.86 wins a tournament. If you exclude the 9-16 Covid year where we missed the tourney, it's 2.17 wins. And those #s don't really mean jack without context/compared to our peers.
Tired of all the "it's been __ years since..." dishonest stats when they cancelled the whole f'n tournament for one of those years. Every team had 0 tourney wins that year, derp. And also, it's been... one week since you looked at me.
I said last 7 seasons is 1.2. If you exclude Covid season when it was cancelled (which i said you should) it’s 1.5.
Both are true. Learn math
9 tourney wins last 7 seasons = 1.2
9 tourney wins excluding Covid cancellation year (6 seasons) = 1.5

-is this the new benchmark? Football is infinitely more difficult to do well at in general, even moreso at UK...SEC football>>>ncaa basketball.
-the investment in basketball by UK is unparalleled. Cal has zero excuses. He has underperformed. Period.
^yet he's gonna throw shade at the football program? It's a ***** move made by a childish attention *****. Petty as ****. It's inexcusable.
It’s dishonest spin ******** and all of these dbags passing it along as fact can F off. It would be different if they were honestly wrong. No, I assume most here are know the facts but they’re still spinning.
Oh lolol our dumbass punter who obviously doesn’t know a F’ing thing about UK football history is mocking our basketball team!!!! lol lol
Our thug safety who took a gun to a frat party is hilarious!!!!!!
-"second weekend? Haven't seen him."
If you’re going to make comments that the football team has been more successful then it needs to be pointed out that it’s ********.
Nope, you're wrong. Your including both the 9-16 COVID season of '20-'21 as well as the '19-'20 season where they cancelled the SEC and NCAA tournaments just to exaggerate the numbers and be intellectually dishonest. ****, what happened to Duke and Kansas in '19-'20, they both didn't win their conference tournaments and had 0 March Madness wins omegaul. Dude, the 1887 Kentucky Wildcats didn't win a single game, WTF happened?
There have been 3 actual SEC tournaments since we last won it, but that doesn't sound as bad. Learn honesty bro.
If you’re gonna start saying a successful bball team is how it does in comparison to the football team then your expectations has lowered.
We did NOT win a ncaa tournament game in the 2020-2021 season therefore that year counts as a 0.
I’m only making factual points. Not bringing expectations into anything.
In fact, the emotional aspect proves this is a basketball school.
-Chad is ornery.
-The comment was just dumb, could've delivered the point without being a selfish dick. Why kick an ally trying to make your point? Bad form for a guy that isn't typically like that, at least publicly.
-I don't blame Tucker for using the quote. That's his job.
-I take it last nights opponent was worse than Wednesdays? Only caught a portion of the 1st. Didn't get any posts or texts about it.
-I think the new video boards look good. The old ones weren't bad until they started failing. IMO, the mega boards forced into spaces they weren't intended are overkill. Most SEC schools have either 1 GIANT one or 2 huge screens. UGA probably has the worst, you can't see it from like 30% of the stadium, and they just won a title.
-Back to Livingston, getting boards in a scrimmage is just such an indicator. We went on a helluva run in 2014 on the backs of getting every damn rebound.
-I can see the Barbour/Edwards in Thiero. If he grows another couple inches, yesh.
-Appears Cal has options for his coveted rim protector in Toppin and Collins. Hopefully that will help prevent Oscar from getting into foul trouble. Granted, most of O's fouls come trying to grab every rebound.
-This audiobook stuff, especially in non fiction, absolutely takes the right narrator. Tried a Jared Diamond book and the dude had me falling asleep in minutes.
-Quick guys trip out to Iowa(not heaven) to watch the Field of Dreams Game last night. Awesome experience. Being one of my favorite movies and going out with MCF and Dad made the event pretty special That place is quite literally in the middle of nowhere and makes for an amazing setting. The House and original movie field were really neat. You walk right through the left center corn, just like the ball players did in the movie, to leave the set and head to the new field. That's just great. The views from the stands are hard to explain, it was gorgeous. Had perfect weather, great sunset, then a huge full moon. Crisp air. Small stadium setup was really neat, close to players, could hear everything they said. Also, we got the decent Cubs fan contingent because there were no outfield bleachers for them to act like idiots. Asked a couple people, and I think the Reds actually had more fans which was really surprising being 2 hours from Chicago. Only misstep was the merchandise setup. Lines were hours long. You have 7500 people and you know they're all going to want something. They really dropped the ball on that. Finally snagged a shirt for little man, probably the wrong size, but the last kids item they had.
Game sucked, because I knew about 4 players total on the field for both our loser franchises. Neither could muster up enough cajones to put one into the f*cking corn. Real shame after that display Sox/Bombers put on last year.
It was definitely hokey but the movie was pretty cheesy as well. Great experience. Bummer they're going to build that massive complex. It's perfect how it is, they just need to get 2 decent teams out there. Last night was AA ball.

-i get that, chad. If going by polls you are correct...if going by "standards/expectations" that have in small part been established by el gordo Italiano (to his credit)...the fb program is outperforming the bb program over the last few years.
-all I can say is Cal better thank God for Oscar being an exemplary young man...I can't comprehend how ****** the vibe around basketball would be if Oscar weren't here.

I think the worst part of that was he elevated Georgia and Alabama, two conference foes who are rivals that we compete against for recruits, above UK. Literally put them on a pedestal above UK. Is it true? Yes, but WTF with saying that? How would you feel if you were Stoops or Marrow seeing that quote? I mean WTF was Cal thinking
I want us to win all the games in all sports.
Are you really making me do this? GD it.... the last 7 NCAA tournaments:
21-22: 0 wins (lost to St. Peters)
20-21: 0 wins (didn't make tournament, BJ Boston was a puss)
18-19: 3 wins (lost to Auburn in Elite 8)
17-18: 2 wins (lost to Kansas State in the round of 16)
16-17: 3 wins (lost to UNC in the Elite 8)
15-16: 1 win (lost to IU in the round of 32)
14-15: 4 wins (lost to Wisconsin, remember?)
That's 13 wins in the last 7 NCAA March Madness tournaments = 1.86 wins. If you throw out the COVID year of 20-21 where we went 9-16, that's 2.17 wins.
You're using "seasons" so you can include the season where the SEC and NCAA tournaments were f'n cancelled in 19-20, because you're intellectually dishonest or just being a dum dum. And why 7 seasons? Why not 8, why not 10? These stats are f'n pointless and arbitrary, especially with no context compared to our peers. But thanks for making me remember the Wisconsin game on a Friday.
Start a ****** math thread, maybe PTI can post some dick picks as a counting methodology and Chief can teach fractions based on his stock ownership of Apple.
Have Kansas and Duke won any NCAA tournament games since the covid season?
If we're truly the basketball school Cal claims we are, he needs to realize how much he is underperforming. Taking cheap shots at the football program is petulant and wreaks of insecurity. It does nothing to help his initiative, if anything he's hurt his goals.
IMHO, this all boils down to funding. Stoops has been promised a practice facility upgrade, but not seen any actual results. Cal wants practice facility upgrades too, but hasn't gotten any support from the university in that lately. Two huge egos are colliding because they've determined they are in competition for dollars. This is something Mitch has to solve, and he needs to do it asap.
Whatever. You know what… This adds fuel to the football coaching staff and players’ fire 3 weeks before kickoff. They live of off that giant chip on their shoulder and the culture it’s created.
Meanwhile, Calipari better get to the Final Four this season or next or that seat will be scorching hot.

Or just GTFO. Mitch could do that too.
