Stoops is spiraling now...

We have not had an exodus of players of any quality.

We have brought in All-Conference type players from G5 and FBS.

Our Transfer QB is a former 5 Star, from UGA.

We brought in collegiate AA linebacker from UGA.

With just over a month until the 1st NSD, we are ranked 19th, with 8 four Star commitments.

Our recruiting by every objective measure is better than that which led to our Citrus Bowl victories. We have far more 4 Star/Top 300 type players on defense than can see the field at the same time.

Stoops has raised money.

And that money has helped increase our recruiting profile.

Simply put, the wins have not followed in a linear fashion.
A lot can happen in a month and that class (which is still ranked in the bottom half of the conference) can fall apart quickly. He's just going to have a much tougher sell to transfers and recruits if we miss a bowl game and the enthusiasm around the program is sour.

POLITICAL THREAD

You'll always believe whatever they want you to believe.
Could you imagine the caterwauling and spamming videos and links we would have to suffer through if it was Ivanka's diary talking about showering with Trump? He's already shown pictures of her sitting on his lap repeatedly as a 'whataboutism' to try and justify Biden's sick practice of showering with her. He'll even twist himself into a pretzel to try and defend it such as actually expecting us to believe that THE Village Idiot has memories from when he was 2 years old 🤣🤣

POLITICAL THREAD

Do you remember the poster Bigbluebrew? OMG, he and Kenny had it OUT every day on the old Political forum! Brew was a conservative, but he was an ass, lol.

I actually got to meet Kenny back in the day. Shadow1671 and myself used to attend a few tailgates with @LordEggForgotHisPassword and his buddies. If you recall several of us met up once at a tailgate, and everyone brought a bottle of their favorite bourbon. Good times. He and Kenny were friends, and one evening he took me to where Kenny tended bar and Kenny bought us drinks. He came across as a liberal ass at times on here, but he was actually a really nice guy .

Rest in peace ORUACAT2 )Kenny)

I used to bartend with Kenny waaay back in the day.

Loved that dude, even if he was a lefty.

Lipscomb tonight

I've been looking at them this morning and noticed that they actually played Arkansas very well. In fact, they were within 4 points of Arkansas with under 8 minutes remaining, before the Razorbacks pushed out the lead to 16 by the end of the game. Arkansas was up by 11 at the half before Lipscomb made a push in the middle of the 2nd half. The Bisons also played Western KY very well in Bowling Green. Lipscomb led that game by 1 at the half. It was close down the stretch with Lipscomb cutting the lead to 3 with 30 seconds remaining.

Lipscomb has a player who is expected to be the player of the year in the ASun conference. His name is Jacob Ognacevic, from Sheboygan, WI not Eastern Europe. He's a 6-8 220lb senior who has been averaging 20.6pts, 8reb, and he's shoots 40% from 3 for his career. He's similar in many ways to Cooper Flagg- handles and shoots the ball pretty well and is a leader for his team.

Having said all of that, if UK picks up where they left off with Duke, it will be a 20pt+ win. I expect Lipscomb to fight the Cats but it will come down to making those threes for UK. If the Cats are making their shots or forcing turnovers and getting out in transition, it will be lights out pretty early on. I noticed on some video of Lipscomb, they like to play some zone at times. I kinda doubt they will play zone against UK, but if they do, I think it will be trouble. I think the Cats are due a breakout game from 3.
You saw where they played Arkansas very well....then hopefully you remembered who was coaching Arkansas now.
