The Ukraine war. (Yes, we'll mind our manners)

We’re watching a collapse and implosion of the Russian economy in real time. Stock market crash of 50+%, and 20+% interest rates. Gazprombank was one of the few banks not hit with sanctions, till now. Saw one bank offering client loans of $365 with a…..48% interest rate 🤣. Real estate market has crashed and Moscow can’t find enough workers to fill jobs. They are going broke spending 145 billion on their military (‘24).

Regardless of the peace deal, Trump needs to keep sanctions on and flood the oil market with cheap oil, hitting them where it hurts. Hope the war was worth it Putin, while your zombie citizens continue to suffer.
Russia must have oil at 70+ per barrel. If it gets below that for any length of time I dont believe they have remaining resources to function.

You do know that Igor Kolomoisky was Zelensky's boss at the TV show right? Kolomoisky owned the TV station along with the bank that over $1billion in US aid went missing out of. Kolomoisky is also presumed to be a silent partner in Burisma.... boy did they clean things up.
You realize Zelensky stripped him of Ukraine citizenship and he is currently under arrest. Yep, sounds like a powerful man.


By definition, he isn't close to being a Ukrainian oligarch any longer. Zelensky and the West ended that.

Kelly/LSU lose top QB recruit to Michigan

I don't think he was ever a fan favorite, now with the way their season has gone and now this, and likely going to lose a couple more that are going to follow him they want him gone. Michigan is going after every top commit right now, 2 weeks before signing day they are throwing offers left and right .

What should be a concern is the top money guy funding this flip runs an online betting service, is college athletics comfortable with a betting service having college athletes on their payroll?
And Fanduel has bought Bally Sports, will be carrying MLB baseball.

Big UK Fan But In Spite Of Our Record I’m Not Convinced We Are Top 10 Team, Maybe Not Top 20.

I know that we beat our hated Rivals The PUKE Blue Devils and we have three other gaudy wins against very inferior opposition. It took Puke shooting terribly from 3 point range and UK at a very respectable 40 percent for us to eke out a very close win. Had the shooting percentages been reversed, which they well could be in a future game with Puke, it could equate to a 15-20 point loss for UK the next time we play them.

My concern is that if UK depends solely on hitting a high number of 3’s per game then when we don’t we will lose. Remember the old adage that when we live by the three, we can certainly die by the three when we are not hitting from the outside.

My concern in particular is when we play a team like Tennessee or another team who plays very tight man to man defense, then we will struggle to score from the outside which is our forte. 🙏 Please someone convince me I am wrong and give me reasons to believe UK truly is a top 10-15 team. I just truly believe UK is currently way over ranked, based for the most part on our win over Puke. I truly believe if we played this current Puke team or a team similar in talent UK would lose 8 out of 10 times.
I bet you were one of the Calipari apologists. Now you are hoping against all odds that Pope won’t do a better Job than Calipari would have. Just stop it.

Arizona vs thread

Maluach keeps guys like Knupple from getting exposed on defense.
Yeah. Ppl won’t like this but they have a similar build to our 2012 champ team…

Malachi plays the Davis role very well (not saying he’s as good as Davis but very impactful) in cleaning up misses, lobs, and altering everything at the rim.

Lamb was a knock down shooter and is what they need Con Knueple to be close to. Beyond that, Flagg is better all around than TJones. Darius Miller is probably the other advantage 2012 UK has. The rest are lean Duke or pushes
