NBC called the women’s Super G with a bunch of skiers left only to come back 30
minutes later to show someone else had one. Total fail.

Bricksoe would be leading this team in minutes played, if only to cut down on the number of ridiculous, unforced turnovers.

But congrats on that Estonia/Latvia All-Star Game nod!

Cal tells you to get your *** out when "you are what you are".

Basically "I can't get you better... sorry, bud. Here's an *** slap and high five. Give em hell."

That's when we find teams like this year. It's not about the team or program with Cal. Briscoe may have said "I wanna come back to win more" and Cal be like "But wait wait wait... that's not about you, that's about us. I'm in this for you.*"

*fully believe Cal was fine with Briscoe hitting the road and will never talk to him again.

Counting on Briscoe helping to cut down on ridiculous turnovers after a game where us stepping on the baseline at a critical stretch was a key play is a huge leap of faith.

This is what we call a false narrative.

By the way, Matt Jones doesn’t even sugarcoat the staff’s feelings about Briscoe off the court...I dunno what that dude was doing but I’m pretty sure they are glad he’s doing it out of the country.

I don’t even fault Cal for Humphries...I mean, that guy wasn’t going to the league, got an offer to go home and make good money. Understand.

Matthews would be nice to have around, though, seeing as that we still don’t have a true 3 man on the roster.

Briscoe never had intention of returning, which seemed strange for a guy that everyone knew wasn't getting drafted. Good for him for making big bucks in Estonia, I guess. It probably cuts both ways in that he wasn't exactly being begged to return.

One thing we miss at the moment is the next Dom, that occasional player that slowly improves, contributes along the way, lives as the big man on campus for four years, etc. The down year would be fine if you thought a couple of these guys would stay and be that type of player.

Each season is essentially a failure if we don’t get to the Elite 8. Don’t care if that makes me an unreasonable Raftard. This is Kentucky.
I think the seasons before and after matter. Win the title, 13’ is acceptable. Next year needs to be a title contender to make up for this mess.

Don’t @ me crapping on next season already. That just miserable fan BS.

No, I think that’s accurate and the way most of us feel. However, the tournament hasn’t been played yet, and using such measurables, Cal has had a successful season 6/8, a really successful season 4/8 and a national title.

I am just a surly ahole not at the kids but at the potential prospect of a joyless March. Hope the crowd is as well. Need it.

Welp if you didnt leave 2 hours ago good luck getting here.

I went to Richmond one night when I was in Grad school at UK (no idea why), and somehow a few people at the club thought I was Todd Tackett. No one in my little crew said it. Somebody in that place must have thought it and started that rumor through a bartender. I have no idea what he even looked like, but I was a 6'5 stud so I didn't say I wasn't him.

Long story short, it was a success so to speak. Got in and got out before the truth had to be revealed. Also, I didn't get Drew Barkered which, in hindsight, may have been the best achievement of that evening/early morning.

It not a bad spot, but every TV will be on UK no matter how good of a game is on other channels.

Buffalo Catfish and their burger are pretty good.
