What? I didn't think Tiger was completely likeable in his prime but since his comeback I'd say his approval ranking is close to 100%.

I like Tiger much more than wcc *or* anth.
To middleage white guys maybe. I’m talking about in society at large.
Christine Brennan has a nice little niche for herself amongst the downtrodden. Pretty sure I'll skip right by her articles but someone is paying her to write these in volume.
The ability for fans to separate Tiger's game from his likability versus say a LeBron's game and likeability is impressive gymnastics. I realize there are different reasons, yet....
Ribs, was waiting for a review of the course, sorry for your loss...
55 degrees means golf weather this weekend.

Seeing Tiger become "one of the guys" in his later years has been really cool, imo. He's genuinely liked or loved by most out on Tour these days, after being merely respected/feared for the majority of his career and a complete separate entity from everyone.
While my feelings are hurt a little bit, I do appreciate you bringing Anth in on this for no real reason.
Uh, yeah... Who else would I care about?
I think Tampax really needs to lean into this exposure somehow.
I live rent free in his head.
Just takes minutes for a reply if I mention a Steakhouse. To be fair, you're the same way with jre.
I like Tiger more than any other athlete/ex athlete
Anyone gonna tell chad that he's a middle-aged white guy?
Aside from Black people, Asians, White people, and kids -- most everyone else in society hates Tiger.
-Americans love a redemption/2nd chance story. It's who we are.
^that's a great thing.

Tampax company motto: We might not be tops in sales, but we're up in there!
- With a relatively weak late-night CBB slate on tap last night, I watched most of OSU/Iowa, and I couldn't shake the feeling of happiness that Holtman is struggling so badly. As Anth said, his timing couldn't be better. I mean, Kentucky's offense is stagnant and outdated. But Holtman's offense is just a MESS. And that was against IOWA, who isn't exactly Houston out there.
- Glad to hear that Cal is staying on the Perry kid. For all the issues Cal has brought upon himself, missing out on a legendary Kentucky HS kid is not one he needs to add to the slate right about now.
- The KHSAA Sweet 16 is an absolute blast. Been fortunate to have my good buddy Strokin' Bandit hook me up with tickets a few times over the past couple of years. As a kid, I assumed that I'd eventually be an annual attender of the event, but it just hasn't turned out that way. Will definitely do it once the youngest graduates in a few years.
- I'm just a beer cheese simpleton, probably, but Copper Kettle is just my natural go-to for the store-bought stuff.
- What an absolutely terrible NBA draft this is shaking up to be. Wemby, Scoot, Miller, and then................
- Yesterday's weather has me subtly excited for the start of college baseball season. Do-or-die season for Mingione. PING!

Count me as not too optimistic about a 170 lb guard from Eddyville being good enough to make an impact at UK.
I hope he’s the next Rex Chapman but I’ve seen this too many times before.

Who cares? Our 6-13 players on scholarship are a rotating door of transfers. Give a KY kid a scholarship.
Yeah, I didn't say anything about the kid making an impact. I'm just saying that Cal's been on a streak of bizarre PR moves (not talking to the media, telling fans to blame him instead of players when we weren't blaming the players, etc.). Getting this Perry kid would just be a nice PR win for a guy who needs more of them, (ir)regardless of whether the kid ever breaks the rotation.
As Anth said, there's absolutely no harm in giving that kid a scholarship. And even if his ceiling is eventually being able to give you single-digit MPG, well....haven't we spent the past few days in GYERO talking about how Cal never has enough guards?

We should always have a Kentucky guard or two on the roster. Dominique Hawkins was a godsend.
Allen couldn't dribble 5 feet.
Perry will have a solid career somewhere, just unfortunately won't be here unless he's just cool w/ being a perennial 8th-10th man who's fundamental basketball skills aren't valued. Kid can flat play.

Northern Kentucky isn't part of Kentucky, Max.
He does piss me off. Strokin is a MFing show off.
"Look at me, I still use shampoo, I still have hair!"
You think I need to read that, you SOB? Sometimes I steal some of my wife's shampoo and dump it on my head and pretend like there is still a head of hair to lather up. But there is nothing there. You think I need to be reminded of that on GYERO? What an *******.
And good luck in the district tourney. (seriously)
I couldn’t care less if he gets a scholarship offer or how many honks from Kentucky we have on the roster.
If you’ve proven yourself against the nation’s best and it appears you can contribute, then yes. If you happen to be a Kentucky kid then great, that’s gravy.
I’m glad he’s lighting up the 2nd region.
Let’s see how he does on the AAU circuit this summer. Right now he’s rated in the 90’s.

We need more tall guys imo. Tall guys are closer to the rim, and therefore better.
I'd take a Kentucky player ranked in the top 100 every day of the week. Might as well use the scholarships.
Maybe he never plays. Maybe he develops into a rotation player. Maybe he starts as a senior. Maybe he shocks everyone.
And I guarantee you that if he is under 6'7, wcc will want him to play the 4.

I’ve played there twice but have also had them cancel 2 reservations due to weather (one for flooding 2 years ago and another during the crazy cold spell this past December). That valley floods with very little rain. It’s definitely worth the trip.
I once had super high hopes for Todd Tackett.
My very first class was with Tackett...he came strutting w/ a Full sized white bath towel draped around his neck along w/ multiple chains, every day -- knew pretty quick he was a turd.
We have 4 freaking guys who can literally only play 1 position (center).
Grab a white Kentucky kid or two from the hills and give him some minutes here and there. Never know what may happen.

That Paintsville team they were on was stupid talented. They also had a 6’8 PF that could play the perimeter and a 6’’6 SF. How a single-A team in the 15th Region produced that kind of size is beyond me.
"Pilot Program" for beer sales. Let's hope nothing crazy happens, like making it a more enjoyable atmosphere.
Sounds like the athletic department was in desperate need of some good publicity.
