True.

But it's also fair to say that it's the one part about the Cal era that sucks from the standpoint of being a UK fan. Borderline guys from other schools tend to return, whereas our borderline guys tend to go. That's how Cal markets the program, and it's a big part of how he recruits so well, but it also makes his job harder. Grayson Allen is a sophomore who was projected to go late first round, and he returns. Tyler Ulis is a sophomore who was projected to go late first round, and he leaves.

Again, it's better for the kids (at least the ones who don't make bad decisions, Marquis Teague), but it's worse for us. #Selfish

Definitely sucks, but we've enjoyed the fruits of this philosophy. Been a helluva 7-year run. Would be disingenuous of Cal to tout it and then pull a Roy Williams on the kids when it came down to decision time.

All true.

The one caveat I have is that Cal seems to push kids to go pro if there is even a question to be had. Intellectually, I think that is probably the better approach than Pitino, Roy, etc. but it sucks to see sometimes as a fan.

Going back as far as Jodie Meeks, there have been a number of guys who weren't necessarily helped individually by going pro when they did and could have potentially fared better by returning to Kentucky for another year. (Of course there is also Alex Poythress who cost himself millions by not going after his frosh year.)

Cal's philosophy is unquestionably better from a recruiting perspective but maybe not the best on the whole from a program building perspective, which is what is frustrating as a fan.

Who the F is Jones talking about? What current UL staff member is getting fired for being involved in all this?

And the heating business.

That has nothing to do with it, he's just a whiny weather weirdo. Never seen anyone in my life so concerned with the GD weather every day of his life.

He's made me WORSHIP horrible weather., I hope it snows this weekend. :100points:

- This Trevor Story story is about as good as gets for a baseball fan.

Also pretty pumped for the Reds. Rebuilding sucks but their first two games at least show promise.

I mean I guess that is great and all that Cal pushes late first round picks out the door. Its good for recruiting most times. But does it really matter if K is pretty much making Allen stay and then gets Bolden to commit? We are damn lucky T. Jones came back to the 2012 team because he was a late first rounder at that time.


I mean its whatever.

Speaking of walking around and staring up at the sun all day, does the sun make anyone else sneeze when they look right at it? I thought that was normal for everyone and then I read it's only like 40% of the population do that. I do it and all my kids do, but my wife thinks it's weird. Bright lights also do the trick. Just curious about it now

Other than our business being completely weather dictated and loving to be outside running/cycling. Like I've said all along I like long days. Pretty easy to figure out, really. I like long warm days. Hate cold short days. How you can prefer the winter is beyond me. I'm cool with the change in seasons but I'm an April-October guy.

Chad ignorantly spouting off facts about average weather in this area is laughable.

Per usual, find each other and GGP.

When was the last time you performed surgery?

How often do you (legitimately) prescribe medicine? And no, "50 CC's of Dr. Love!" doesn't count.

I still do invasive image guided procedures and inject medications fairly regularly. I used to do alot more, but my current setup isn't hospital based.

Plucking my eyebrows makes me sneeze lol crazy.

Got a case right now where we hired a neuroradiologist to testify as an expert on the issue of whether the plaintiff's herniated disc was caused by the accident and the plaintiff's atty filed a motion to exclude his testimony on the grounds that he's "not qualified" to offer an opinion on this -- or anything -- since he doesn't actually treat patients. I'll keep you posted, Bobby.

Wow, they must be really scared of him.

The only way you could really prove a direct causal relationship is if you had imaging studies before and after the accident.

No pre-wreck MRIs because he (allegedly) had no pre-wreck neck pain. That's the whole point of the lawsuit.

But my guy says the presence of osteophytes (bone spurs to you laymen) in the post-wreck MRI suggest that the herniation was at least 2 years old.

You think to think about being a professional expert. This guy makes over $150k a year just testifying, not to mention what he brings in doing his day job.

On a related note, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't rue my career choice...

No, I only sneeze when I read stupid posts from needle-dick, redneck losers who ruin family vacations

Els has missed more unbelievable short putts in the last few years than every other pro in the history of the PGA Tour combined. Sad to watch.

Back pain can be tricky. When I was in my fellowship and we we're doing multiple epidurals a day (ACTUALLY TREATING PATIENTS) we would go over the MRI findings, see where we would expect them to have pain based on the dermatomes. Then we would interview the patient and see where they were actually complaining of pain.

The two were not always the same. Somebody may have a big herniation at one level on a different side, but they were symptomatic at another level on the other side from just a small bulge...We directed our injections where they were symptomatic and had very good results.

In regards to dating a herniation, the presence of osteophytes does suggest a more chronic process. However, very common to have an acute on chronic injury as well.

I was a witness on a case once. It was interesting.

And for the record, I do have immense respect for anyone who completes doctoral level training. It's a big world, and we all play a part.

I do agree with drx though, the PhD's that invent the medications he prescribes and invent the machines he uses to do his procedures and diagnose definitely don't count as doctors.

YUP. YOU JUST DESCRIBED CCLARK PERFECTLY!
