Cancer advanced to stage 4. Planning bucket list trip to Rupp for NYE game (vs Brown).

That will absolutely help and we thank you dearly. We can each take one kiddo and enjoy the game. Once again thank you so much.
Just transferred two tickets to your email provided. Used your name from your report (best I could make out of it anyway) so you should have them by now. Let me know that you got them and accepted them though I should get a confirmation of your acceptance from Ticketmaster too. Have a great evening with your entire family group. Oh, you asked about bourbon ideas for your brother. Go to Buffalo Trace in Frankfort (easy drive from Lexington) and take their free distillery tour. It's excellent, you get some tasting along with a great tour and just get tickets as you head into their visitor center.

Could Jon Sumrall be the football team's Mark Pope?

Re recruiting and Sumrall...on face value maybe but as has been pointed out his recruits while at UK were top notch. He has extensive contacts with HSs/JUCOs in the South, LA, MS, AL plus he likely could keep Morrow. To me recruiting would be another box he would check.

This is what i think about recruiting. Today it's expensive as he'll and if you want top classes be prepared to spend 15m up either via the portal or through HS. If you are wanting win the playoffs, I think you better be top 10-12 classes at least. Can Sumrall do that, I dont know, but when you have 10-15 schools willing to spend 15m+ on classes it won't be easy. Oregon has Phil Knight and his personal 46B wanting a championship. Texas schools have multiple oil men wanting one, Tennessee charging their working fans extra to attention a game. Going to be hard to compete on the recruiting trail for everyone without the mega booster.

Disrespect

I was raised to watch the games on mute, because my Mom never could stand the announcers so we listened to Cawood. I'm usually too lazy to try to sync the tv up to the radio so I still watched them up until about 10 years ago on mute. My wife never understood why I watched on mute and thought I was weird, and she likes sound so I started watching them with volume for her. Last night, at some point during the second half after listening to Bilas all game, she looked at me and said, "ok, I understand now why you learned to watch the games muted." She's not into UK basketball near as much as me, so that fact that she noticed it just shows how bad he was.
Well, you’re still weird 😉

Grumpy you bring up good points - as usual. So, I will ask you a question. Did Georgia do the right thing getting rid of Mark Richt - a guy who AVERAGED 9.7 wins a year at Georgia? If so, why? And if you were the AD at Kentucky and you knew what you know about Stoops and Sumrall - what would you do?

Go Big Blue!

Richt was tired, I thought something was going on with him, he just looked so disengaged on the sideline, took weekends off before signing day. As it turned out, he was sick, the onset of Parkinson. So I guess he had other things on his mind. But the reign ended at UF his last season. With a buy week, he named a running QB the starter, yet we ran the same pass happy offense, three 4 into. He was gone before plane got back to Athens. That UF game just seemed to say I run it the way I want. Terms with Kirby were agreed on, AD was told to get it signed or he would join Richt.

Clearly Kirby upgraded the program, this is a tough year, but he has lost some assistants, replaced them with questionable hires and it's hurt us.

As for UK's decision on its coach, I sometimes say things that catch me some heat I am not wanting, so I am staying out of the UK needing a new coach decision, that's up to UK administration and fans. But I will say I am glad UGA made it's decision.
