We have four more games until we play Gonzaga. They only have one game between now and then.

I'm not sure what the heck happened in that game they played against Baylor, but they haven't been as impressive since.

They are definitely blowing teams out, but they aren't top 10 teams like Baylor was and they absolutely ripped Baylor.

I know that final score is in the back of our minds, but that might be a case of Baylor just not showing up against a team that can really put it on ya if you aren't focused.

Pope will have his team ready for that one.

Possible loss of Marrow to Southern Miss.?

Absolutely right re ranking but people don't want to hear that, doesn't fit their agenda. Difference in maybe 6th in the conference and 12th is minimal, maybe as little as one player.
The only " agenda" some of us have is seeing Kentucky be competitive in the SEC. Those of us who have been watching UK football since the 1960s would like to see us compete at least once with the upper echelon of the league
You say it can't be done. I say that is a self fulfilling prophecy.

Are you going to throw up in your mouth next week and be for Duke over Kansas?

I disagree. KU isn't all that right now. They've looked very underwhelming. Duke looked VERY strong and we beat them. By ystar's end Duke will be an insane threat. Self didn't recruit too hot this past season it seems. He could be waning. He and Cal are really (and maybe Few) are really the last old guards left.

Also, I will root for a power outage. I can't stand either team. Ever....in any situation.
Not to mention Tom Izzo, man will never retire it seems, however he appears to be fading, but usually his teams are ACTUALLY built for March.

I get your point but I really could care less about the all time wins lead. Kansas has been playing ball longer than UK so our Winning Percentage all time is better. I care more about titles. That is the overall true measuring stick of who is the best program of all time. The others matter too but not as much as titles. Just my opinion.
I totally get that.

The best way for UK to win a title, is to get the easiest path in the NCAAT and in order to do that, we need our metrics to be as high as possible. Since we beat duke, they are now working for us and if they win that game, it helps us. So basically, I want KU to lose by 10+. 😁

Girthang knows (re: cleaning women's restrooms) It's weird, because if you catch a glimpse as you walk by as a female is exiting, it looks like they have a foyer, couches etc. LOL

Yep. Just like makeup on MilaK. Girls got to have that selfie background up front to distract from that floating garbage heap in the middle of the raging sea that lies beyond. You clean it once and you'll never put a woman on a pedestal again.

Typing "Makeup on MilaK" reminds me of something. When I was a sophomore in college, I had the eye-opening "pleasure" of driving someone's date home one morning after a party. Seeing this thing without makeup scared the livin snot out of me.

All of the guys thought this girl was a 9 or better on a 10 point scale. ....seeing her without makeup...... she was a solid 3. I'm not kidding at all. Had NO IDEA it was her when I drove up to my buddies apartment to pick her up. NONE. Thought maybe she was a homeless woman when she walked up to the car.

SHE was the biggest btch to everyone, too. Complete psycho at the party. Complained about EVERYTHING. Talked sht about my buddy to one of his friends. We had initially chalked her ugliness up to her family having money and her being pretty until that moment. Next morning on the ride home she even told me I should ditch my then current girlfriend for her, and I was shocked speechless, as it was one of her good friends and here she was without makeup...

Even funnier... she told her friends (some that I knew obviously) that I was hitting on her when I dropped her off. I LOLed at the suggestion when they "confronted me" about it, not realizing she was standing behind them, and my girl did the same when she had "warned" her.

Anyway... my buddy spent the next 2 weeks avoiding her in his apartment and at the library because she kept coming around at all hours. He finally had to deal with her at a party a month later.

Told her flat out he could never date someone who treated his friends so poorly, told her she needed to apologize to every one of us, and quietly told her he had a Polaroid of her without makeup, if she didn't stop spreading rumors and being a btch.

Never heard a sour word from her again.

In truth ....there's Mordor and then there's the women's restroom, where not even Sauron would dare tread. A microcosm of some people on the inside as well.

Possible loss of Marrow to Southern Miss.?

He doesn't strike me as a head coach. He's a relationship guy and a person who placates talent. If Stoops left I'd be cool but I would like to keep marrow for recruiting. He works hard for Kentucky and he's responsible for the most recruiting success we have ever had. Why would anyone want him to leave other than he is tethered to Stoops? Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Marrow would do about as well as a HC as Kenny Payne did, IMO. You're exactly right. He's the cool grandpa/uncle type that kids gravitate to, but I think he could be lax on discipline.

Are you going to throw up in your mouth next week and be for Duke over Kansas?

No I got it, did you see my scenario? One of these teams is going to win that game and since Kansas is gaining on us in all time wins and we are ranked ahead of duke and duke is now working for us (metrics), we should want duke to win this one. Duke's metrics go up and so will ours.

But, once the NCAAT starts and duke has feasted on the weak ACC, I want them to lose right off the bat. That would be the best case scenario for us.

I wouldn't mind seeing Kansas get Saint Petered too.
