Anyone here think it's inaccurate

Who'd coach Rupp replace?
As others said, Johnny Mauer. Mauer was a successful coach, but he played a slow methodical style nicknamed Submarine ball. Rupp wanted a faster pace that would give more talented players more opportunity to show their skills. Rupp had talked with the players about his style and had the backing of the players. When asked why he should be hired, he replied because he was the best damn coach in the country.

There's two big Cal comparisons right now in CFB.

Dabo and Napier

Napier isn't stubborn, but he's had Cal-like results lately.
Dabo just doesn't want to change.

Both are gonna be gone by the year's end if something doesn't change.

Napier is good as gone now. But I don't think Dabo is in trouble yet. Dabo makes 11.5m a year on a 10 year contract that was signed 1n 2022, they owe him 90m. CU isn't ATM and doesn't have that kind of money.

LSU-USC, thoughts?

One day....one day....people will be able to just buy the channels they want
That’s what carriers are aiming to offer. (A la carte) They've lost 50% of their customers in last decade to chord cutting, and it’s their only way to compete. Disney is currently forcing bundling and guaranteed minimums to have access to ESPN. The Disney Channel(s) are automatically bundled with ESPN, thus driving up prices. They are also preventing carriers from offering a la carte options by requiring ESPN and other Disney channels to be sold to a minimum of 80% of carrier customers.

If you have ESPN, then you (we) are probably also paying for the Disney movie channel. I don’t watch the Disney channel once a year, but we are forced to purchase it so we can watch sports.

A la Carte will force many channels out of business because of lack of demand. Forced bundling and preventing cheaper packages will force some carriers out of business. It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out over next couple of years.

I’m too lazy, but I’m debating about cancelling my services after college basketball season. I only watch ESPN Sept-April for football and basketball. We would be content with Netflix plus basic cable the other months.

Maybe the biggest off-season move…

Not sure about 'OL was awful at pass blocking' - Brock seemed to have time to throw pretty often. He was good about extending plays, stepping up/out in the pocket, rolling out and still looking downfield. I was very pleased with OL performance. Wolford may not be the coach that Schlar was but he's renowed as a great recruiter. Think he'll prove to be a big step up over Yenser. And, 'Alabama's OL underperformed all year'? The same Bama that made the CFP playoffs? With a poorly performing OL? I don't think so. Maybe didn't dominate every single game but they did fine, imo.

Wait a minute . . . I just received an e-mail from my cousin in Jefferson County . . . .

It seems “the meteorologist” has been fully “outed,” by Card fans.

And yes, as fate would have it, that meteorologist, Randy Wether, is a 2004 doctoral graduate of the University of Kentucky’s famed “Drior-Vetter School of Meteorology” located in the heart of UK’s Lexington campus.

As you can well imagine, this sh!t has hit the Jefferson County fan like the stench of aging, stored bourbon combined with the smell from the Purina silos.

Says one anonymous U of L grad, “This is worse than when Papa John exposed Jurich, Petrino and President Ramsey to the excessive glare and condemnation of simple reality . . . worse than when Jeff Brohm told U of L to f@&k off, and stayed at Purdue until they decided they didn’t really want him . . . .”

Apparently, Randy Wether’s doctoral connection to UK, and his supposed guilt in frightening thousands of Card fans to eat tickets they had gotten for free, is too much for the Card Faithful to rationally endure.

In fact, Mr. Wether holds a 1997 undergraduate degree from U of L, where he also obtained a Masters Degree in 1999, both degrees earned while commuting from Southern Indiana. When a fellow U of L undergrad who is an acquaintance of Wether was asked why Mr. Wether chose to close out his education at UK, he responded, “ . . . well, Randy is a very intelligent fellow, you know.”

Keep an eye on this story as it develops.

Sad to say but the city of louisville is a wreck s-hole chock full of homeless and drug addicts. It has lost population because of mismanagement and no one wants to actually live in Jefferson County. Surrounding counties not totally run by the machine and chock full of miscreants are growing.

How’s Prospect doing? I used to know some people there.

That city is bottom of the barrel.
