IF I'M BEING HONEST

kennyskywalker34
I had no idea who would be the next UK coach.
I'm far from a know it all fan. But I truly don't understand why some of you didn't think Pope would do well at UK.
If a coach can win at BYU with all the recruiting restrictions. Then he can certainly win at UK so I'm not surprised at all. I am a little surprised it has happened so fast. I thought he would have a 20 win tournament team year one. With a sweet 16 ceiling.
This team ceiling now is a title. I don't think they will win it. But they are one of 8-10 teams that has a legitimate shot.
Forget about Pope having never won a tournament game. He was coaching BYU.

Nearly guaranteed now, Brock will transfer out this spring.

First of all, where will he go?
Second, who will pay him 7 figures to transfer?
I understand CMS made a 2 year NIL commitment to get BVG to transfer here.
He isn't going to walk away from that NIL deal and neither is CMS walking away from his cash cow.

Why? Neither one of them have anywhere to go. Who wants either of them?? Let alone at that price.

Players want to be paid like "employees", then players can be "fired" like employees. If BVG isn't performing up to his NIL deal, then cut him loose.

*** Official CatsIllustrated Kentucky vs Louisville Prediction Contest ***

Old_Red
Welcome to the Official Kentucky vs Louisville Prediction Contest!

This is our final game for the season.

Follow the rules below and make your prediction. I'll publish the results after the game. You can put any comment you would like below your score prediction (put '***' after your prediction to make it easier to separate the comments) but try not to put anything above your prediction as my scripts may not be able to find your prediction.

The rules are simple. Whoever predicts the correct winner with the score closest to the actual score wins. The method of determining your score is to take the absolute value of the difference of your guess of the Kentucky score and the actual plus the absolute value of the difference of your guess of the opponent score and the actual. You now don't have to have the correct winner to make the list but you incur a penalty of the worst score of those who picked the correct winner. In case of a tie, the tiebreaker is used. In case of a tie in the tiebreaker, we have more than one winner.

I will be awarding points for the first 10 places and including a bonus of 3 additional points for making a perfect prediction. I will track cumulative point totals and the number of games you make the top 10. This contest will end after the bowl season.

Your post should look something really close to what is between the lines below. Remember the ":"s and the word "Tiebreaker:"! Do not!! use a "-" as a separator because some of our tiebreakers can be negative.

This week's tiebreaker is Louisville First Downs.

Kentucky vs Louisville game:

--------------------------
Kentucky: 24
Louisville: 22

Tiebreaker: 21
--------------------------

Just cut and paste everything between the lines above into your reply and then modify the scores and tiebreaker as you see fit. If you don't know how to do that, type very carefully. Remember to type in the word "Tiebreaker:" so that I can find it. Anything my scripts can't figure out will not count.

Don't edit your post or try to post a score after the game has started.

BTW I really would prefer exact names for the teams, but whenever we play Louisville, I'll make an effort to accept any name you can think of that is not obscene.

I hate to beat up on the kid but my goodness, it's a shame that he's having to play at all, let alone start. He gets abused on almost every passing down. He shouldn't be on the field until he's a junior or senior. We really have to hit the portal hard on the OL or next year may be even worse.

Every word the truth. However he gets zero help from his oc which blows my mind.

Didn't this time but rocked the waitress a 30 percent tip for keeping the buckets of beer coming. Only thing that sucked was Ky football. Cutter Boley has to be the man going forward.

Didn’t you say you were with like ten others? Gratuity im sure was automatically added to a party that size so you didn’t have a choice right?

And yes, Boley is WAY better. But season is trashed anyway.

Who In The Crap Was BVG throwing To?

gamecockcat said:
I couldn't figure it out, either. The ball was too low to be intended for Brown who was well past the group of defenders. Key was crossing into the area but the pass was several yards in front of him. Maybe Brown was supposed to turn in instead of running a post? Definitely one that I couldn't see who he was throwing to.
Click to expand...

Brown was who he should've thrown to. Could've been a td, assuming brown doesn't just lose the ball.

To me…and I’m speaking for just me…it was the buyout and who would take the program. I was done as well. But we were in a difficult situation.
Click to expand...
Yeah, the buyout was a big issue, but that doesn't stop us from realizing Cal was washed and no longer the right man for the job.

This is a 10 year job, JC stayed way too long, but he loved being the mob boss.

UK gives coaches and players the big stage with the bright lights, if you have the drive, you can be great here. Cal isn't a HOF coach without the stage UK provided.
