- Absolute perfect weekend, weather-wise. Oktoberfest here in town.

Opened the windows this morning and the polka music has been pleasantly inviting itself inside.

That Groundhog Day, "Pennsylvania Polka" song is always anticipated, but never played.

Meetwurst 7.4, sauerkraut balls 6.8

Festival: of-the-charts

- Give me some fried eggs over my biscuits and gravy.

- The guy turned out to be a horrible person, but I am still not sure I can find a better stand-up performance than Bill Cosby's "Himself." Just a 90-minute show with the audience in his hand.

Okay, take that last line however.

- Montana-to-Taylor and Hill-to-Laettner were the lowest of lows in my sports fandom emotions as a kid, but that foul ball catch by Todd Benzinger to sweep the A's in the 1990 World Series was an awesome piece of meat in-between those two sour loafs of bread.

- RIP, video stores. But working at one of those as a teen was glorious.

* Movies galore to watch while work.

* Having friends come over and play the newest video games.

* Endless popcorn/candy

* Seeing the regulars renting soft-core porn on a Friday night. NOTE: We checked out those movies before we put them out.

- Full force track first Friday, but hitting "The Hill" for Keeneland that Saturday. If any of you GYEROs are there that day, hit me up. Let's do a Pick 3.

- I've built a boners for Chris Livingston and Adou Thiero.

- German food and domestic beers calling my name.

Damn I love that man. No bs. All he’s focused on, all that comes out of his mouth is about his team working hard every single day to get better.

I feel like Cal used to be like that, but it’s been so long since he’s shown any fight it’s sort of hard to say. He’s a lifetime ambassador or whatever the hell he signed up for.

I hate that Cal’s stupid mouth has made me feel a certain way about him and his program, because I am pretty pumped about this squad…but I’m also fairly certain I know how this ends in March. If it does in fact end that way, I have no idea how Cal can continue to coach here.

Mitch is something else, man.

Getting choked up
Lots of emotion
Name dropping
Throwing a finger point and a wink to the crowd
Landing jokes left and right
Dropping a “daggum”

That’s like the third time in the last couple days where you posted “wow can you believe that!” Type crap without a link or anything so people can see like a 15 year old girl seeking attention on social media. Either link the actual news you’re referring to or STFU

I reached out to Mark Thursday & will try again. Comparing our athletic dept. to others was my bad. dept. to others was my bad.

Exactly what I thought he’d do. He knows he f’ed up and reached out.

Stoops going full on “Football Guy” as his defense mechanism ain’t helping anything at this point. I’ve been real hesitant to board either one of our coaches’ hype train for the upcoming seasons. Things look great on paper, but right now they sound like two guys wound up so tight that you couldn’t pull a pin out of their *** with a tractor.

Maybe focus wins and seasonal success rather than trying to get the upper hand with your colleague.

I’m just tired of all the bitching back and forth. Historically, yes we are a “basketball school” due to the sustained success. That being said, we have craved that success in football. With the trajectory of the sport of football becoming far and away the most popular sport in America and Stoops building us up to being more than respectable, I think we are seeing a major shift in our fanbase. That’s taking nothing away from our program and it’s history. It’s just a matter of a fanbase who loves football finally getting a product that they’ve always wanted. You can see it mainly with the younger crowds. Students now show up in droves at Commonwealth whereas you’re lucky to fill up the Erupption Zone for many games.

I have no regrets in admitting that I’m far and away a bigger football fan. If given the opportunity, I’d trade 2-3 national titles in basketball for 1 sec title in football. That’s just my personal preference. Some folks differ and that’s fine. That doesn’t mean I’m not damn proud of our basketball team and cheer them on each year as much as the next fan. I want them to win every game. I still hurt at the heartbreakers, and I still get crazy excited over big wins. While football is my first love, I’m a UK fan and I think that’s how everyone is even though we have preferences.

What is ridiculous is the divide. Both football and basketball first fans are guilty. Many football fans are envious of the basketball yea getting top billing despite football being the bread winner in the past. It’s probably true to an extent that football was looked down upon for a long while but basketball earned it. Now you have a lot of basketball fans being envious of football success and thinking just because of history, they still deserve everything when football is living proof that they earned and deserve everything they’re getting from donors and the department at UK.

Stoops probably shouldn’t have been so openly vocal or doubled down like he did today but I can’t say that I don’t love it. It’s like Trump. I loved his brashness and how he had no filter but for his position, he probably should’ve not been so vocal. Cal shouldn’t have things like he did. I’m sure it was said without thinking of how it’d come out but the ego needs put aside. He was doing everything that he should have after the past two seasons but really pissed a lot off over something small.

Folks can pick a favorite but just be a damn UK fan and want every team in blue white or black to win each game.

Cal, Stoops, Mitch (Olympic Sports) and NIL are all in competition for fund raising… this **** is going to be on a slow simmer no matter what.

there should be an orchestrated master plan agreed-to by AD, Prez and coaches as to be transparent on all budgetary matters or this **** will always be prickly.

Stoops was in the right with his tweet the other day, but IMO took it too far today. “I will defend my players”. Ok, but what did Cal say to “demean” the football players. Talk about chip on your shoulder.
Click to expand...

He demeaned the entire Mark Stoops Football Program by implying that because this is a basketball state, so his program (which he didn’t build, and hasn’t accomplished anything more than every coach before him…) should get some sort of grandiose science/basketball shrine…

- THAT HE ALREADY HAS PAID FOR PRETTY MUCH WITH HIS BILLIONAIRE DONORS
- PLUS THIS IS WHAT BJW REALLY WANTS AND NEEDS

That caps stuff is what really took the cake, IMO. Build it you prick. Nobody cares. We’ve seen your basketball facilities now. They’re fn DOPE. We don’t need anything but championships.

Our football team shares an indoor facility with the track team. Our SEC football team. Our two time Citrus Bowl Champs.

Id like to see Cal deal with that ****.

I swear I know high school girls who get over BS faster than this. Christ!

As a person who saw nothing really wrong with what cal said, I’m actually glad it got Stoops attention and he showed his fire.

I like it! Keep marking your territory bud and don’t take no **** off no one, not even at a basketball school!

Who are you talking to? Because I know you’re not telling Mark Stoops to focus on winning games.

I’m talking to both of their thin-skinned asses. They both are supposed to have these “best teams in ages/ever” and now this ****. Gonna be a distraction all season for Stoops. After his Stone Cold promo today, you think reporters are gonna stop asking those questions? Too much in the line to be having a pecker measuring contest against your own athletic departments.

We wanted none of this, you think BBN is gonna help chill this out? No personal offense to you but BBN never chilled out any controversy. I can’t imagine any situation BBN chilled out a controversy. We move forward.

It all starts at the top. The coaches certainly shoulder blame, but this was a massive failure in leadership by Capiluto and Barnhart IMO. I'm not sure how anyone could disagree with that.

Yeah, it really is. They should have gotten out in front if this within 12 hours of it breaking. I don't understand how you sit back and do nothing. Graduates of the Roger Goodell School of Management.
