You can say that Barnhart has done a TON for UK while also agreeing it would be a huge breath of fresh air for someone else to take over at this point. Pretty much where I am with it. His dismissive response to the checkerboard hate (over 80% disapproval in both the KSR and HL polls iirc) was enough for me.

-I've come around a bit on Bubba. He'll never be a guy I actively root for, but I don't hate him anymore. Him volunteering to Asst Captain at the Ryder Cup and genuinely eating up every second of it (after being snubbed as the World #7) went a long way with me.

He also donated most of his winnings last weekend to charity, so at least he backs up his little softie act where it matters (while still being a colossal ******* sometimes)

Btw, he's won 3 times this year already :eyes: - which kinda came out of nowhere.

-Patti's is as solid as it gets for country food. Plus, the best cheesesticks on earth. Lol at PTI(pti) calling it "extremely overrated". When was the last time, if ever, you ate there?

-[laughing] at Brats > Tacos. Good grief, take the rest of the week off.

I don't know, that's kind of nuanced thinking. You can't have it both ways. Either Mitch is the Best AD in College Sports Ever, or he's the Worst. There's no middle ground. Try to post that kind of logic on Twitter. /Facetiousness

Among other things that I won't list, he doesn't get enough flak for saying he was retiring in 1 year, then having Dr. Todd hand him a non-Board-approved long term extension package on Dr. Todd's way out the door in the dead of summer. Not exactly "FIRST CLASS" there, Mitch.

Yes, he has been a damn good AD and in many ways, perhaps UK's best (sadly, that's a pretty low bar without much competition). However, he has also done some very frustrating things that have been discussed ad nauseum.

A mixed bag, of sorts.

Bubba is an awful piece of ****, don't be fooled.

Just remember him:

being a complete ******* to his caddie
being an ******* to other players
posting videos of him hitting a shot on twitter and typing "you're welcome"
crying like a little ***** on every occasion possible.
yelling/scouling at fans for the slightest disruption (he has double the security patrol of other players to look out for cell phones)
being a contrarian ******* (example the long drive contest in the practice round, for charity, at the pga championship)

I'm sure there are countless other examples. Don't be fooled by his recent success, and that it is awesome to watch him play golf...Bubba Watson is a piece of ****.

p.s. his wife most likely has a dick (not that there's anything wrong with that)

BBdK listened to the Foreplay pod and Riggs backtracked on his Bubba hate. BBdK followed suit one day later.

Such a *****.

I've never listened to the Foreplay Pod. I listen to maybe 1 podcast (episode) per month, and that's being generous.

Bubba is a better person than Chase, I do know that. I don't like the guy, I just don't hate him anymore. I don't hate anyone, in fact. :smiley:

He does have an unattractive wife relative to his peers. It looks like she was his high school English teacher

In all seriousness, if you’ve never listened to the Foreplay pod you need to get on that. Only one episode a week so it’s not a crazy amount of content. But it is very good. It’s them and No Laying Up for me every week.

BTW, Els randomly kicking Steve Marino’s *** on his private jet was :joy:

I've actually only listened to 2 of the NLU -- Bones (after the split) and CPG...I just worship their Twitter. I enjoy a podcast when mowing sometimes and on airplanes, but I really don't understand when you guys listen to all these.

For being the busiest guy in the history of the world, Killa apparently has time for about 30 hours of podcasts per week.

Golf Instagram rules, btw. **** cracks me TF up. @Coloradogolfblog ftw

I listen to them when I’m in the car or mowing. That’s pretty much it for me. Sometimes when I’m eating lunch.

Something you never hear from the parents of Cal's players since he's upfront with them from the beginning.

Hopefully this kind of thing will damage K's recruiting at least a little bit. Probably wishful thinking, but it certainly can't help.


“My initial reaction, I was pissed,” Kylia Carter said of Bagley’s reclassification. “And it wasn’t pissed because Marvin was coming. To be honest, I felt like that was information that was kept from us. It felt (shady), it felt like my baby was gonna get kicked to the curb. I felt like all of that.”

“I tell people. People make promises they can’t keep. It didn’t bother me,” Wendell Sr. said. “I was concerned because I felt like we were lied to. ‘Oh, Wendell’s gonna be the man’ and then the rug was pulled from under us.”

“We have not had our conversation, but we will. We almost went there with him when we did our exit interview. But he’ll come around to a Bulls game, and I’ll get the chance.”

Meh. I'm still firmly on Team Teacher & Coach when it comes to a he said/she said with little Johnny and his parents.

Wasn't Carter the one that strung along his recruitment saying that UK was his dream school and that he wanted to hear from us...but Cal wasn't buying it and didn't give him the time of day? Basically, he and Capel were trolling UK to get us to waste time and resources recruiting him.

Yeah, that's a fight I want both sides to lose.
