First…yes I’m proud of the SEC and elated to be part of it. That said, there are some obvious drawbacks to this affiliation…and we’re not alone in this boat.

The main issue is the schedule. The league is never down. Some years will see other teams at the top but the top will always be good. This means that we will never get an easy trip through the schedule like ACC and Big 12 teams will. It will always be a grind. It was tough before and the addition of Oklahoma and Texas don’t help. Getting to another 10 win season for us will be challenging to say the least.

But, relating back to this thread, it will be just as hard for us to be highly ranked and have a realistic shot at the playoffs. It’s gonna be tough for a 3 or 4 loss team to crack the top twelve and with our year-in-year-out schedule that is probably what we can expect. As stated, it’s hard to beat Bama, Georgia, LSU, Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee and others on a regular basis if you’re not a legacy powerhouse…which we are not.

So, I’m torn. I want us to be in the best conference in the country and I want us to contend for a playoff spot. Right now, I think it’s hard for both of these things to happen. I guess my point is, while we rightfully mock the ACC and Big 12, would we not fare better on the national stage and have a MUCH better chance at making the 12 team playoff if we were in one of those conferences?

These are the things that keep me awake at night.

Interesting story. I’m glad Cuz came to UK. He is one of my favorite Cow recruits. Cuz, Bledsoe, Wall was a great start and they had so much personality. Patterson to be part of something like that after the hell he went through before Cal.

If the refs had any back bone at all they should've tossed Laettner for stomping on Timberlakes chest.

Boogie was talking with Kevin Garnett, he was speaking about how he had issues with his father being absent and that he swore he would always be there for his kids. He had a child and it was living with him so he was going to stay close to home. His mom had him get a DNA test and the results came back as he was just getting to UK's campus, found out it wasn't his and he then said he had a clear mind to do what's best for him and told Cal on his visit "I'm coming to Kentucky".

Glad he didn't get trapped, and that we got to have big cuz be a part of our history. I love boogie

Slippery slope? Seriously? What do you think happens to people who suffer from depression and won't seek help or get help and it doesn't work out do? Would you rather they had an option to go out peacefully, or would you rather them take their own life and be found by a loved one or stranger with their brains splattered out over the wall, floor or even on the roof of their garage, hanging by the neck in their garage, in the woods with their dog howling and head nearly blown off where they put a shotgun under their chin and were found by their wife and two kids, or shooting themselves in the head in front of their wife, 4 year old kid and in-laws....or even worse, decide to take someone else or other people with them?

Of course there's tons of propaganda out there. I'm the one pointing out the American propaganda to this thread while everyone else swims in it. Now, what exactly does that have to do with Russia paying rightwing media to spread their particular brand of bullshit? Whatabouting American and Chinese propaganda doesn't make Russia's evaporate. Europe runs theirs too. Israel prides itself on theirs. You think Saudia Arabia hasn't spent gazillions rehabbing their American image? Your boys are paid Russian shills.

Ask Putin why. Imo it's because he thinks Republicans are stupid enough to believe he is against the one arming his enemy and expanding NATO.
Putin backing Harris says way more about the Republican Party's IQ than it does about anything else.
He really thinks you all are that stupid.

Putin says he backs Harris over Trump, adds he’s ready for talks with Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin said he supports Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 race for the presidency over former President Donald Trump after previously claiming Trump is an unpredictable politician.

He just signed an extension which would cost Florida St., a program not exactly with limitless funds, 31 million. What Texas A&M did by eating Fisher's buyout was not going to norm. He also took Florida St. to an unbeaten regular season last year. I don't know if any coach in recent history has been fired one season removed from that kind of season. If it somehow happen, not only it is questionable that Stoops would be the first choice, especially considering the money it would take, it's questionable that Stoops would want to go there.
