Mitch has made several mistakes, he hired BCG, he bit on Cal's UCLA leverage and gave him a fat contract with an impossible buyout and he bit on aTm's leverage and gave Stoops an impossible buyout.

Those last 2 put the university in a really bad spot and giving Cal that one sided contract is some of the reason Cal is who he is. It fed his ego and he knew he had UK by the balls. We just witnessed the worst side of Cal the last few years, now Arkansas is gonna see it.

Cal knew UK couldn't fire him, so he could do whatever the hell he wanted and he did just that.

He wanted UK badly in 07 when BCG was hired, he finally got the job in 09 and I'm sure he had SOME great intentions, but I don't think he ever had UK's best interest in mind, I think it was always about him and the NBA. Looking back on it now, he never regretted his "greatest night in UK history" comment. That guy really has a hard on for the NBA.

You left out baseball (national champs) and women's basketball, back in the top 10.

Ugh. No good reason our top programs are so far behind UT. None.

If Arkansas would play a team with a pulse they may lose. The are playing some teamed named Maryland Eastern Shore today. Wow, what a juggernaut! I’m the friendly confines of their home arena too. Do they ever leave Bud Walton?

Ya know... if the Left hadn't killed 60 million babies over the last 50 years we'd have plenty of workers.

- Hoping my offer on 5 acres is accepted. I found it privately and knocked on the door of the owner. Offered more than fair value as to what land is going for here so my fingers are crossed.

I will say Mitch was in a no-win situation with Cal in the contract situation in 2019. Seeing what we got out of Cal, it looks horrendous giving the contract in retrospect but that was a time that Cal still had an extremely high approval rating and his stock was very very high. If Mitch had let Cal go to UCLA (the school who leads us in NCAAT championships) and then Cal won MORE titles for them, Barnhart would have been mercilessly lambasted for centuries. I think everything worked out just the way God intended.

The last few years on this board, we've been arguing amongst ourselves and very irritated about our coach and our team. The haters who were looking for some entertainment and laughs at our expense didn't even have to stir the pot for their jollies. Just click on and watch us try to kill each other. Yippee Ki-Yay!

Fast forward to this season. We've got a new coach and we all love him. We've got a completely new team and they're playing great in the new system that we all love. We've got a win over Duke and we're ranked top 10. The only arguments about beating our cupcakes is whether we'll be able to cover the 31.5 point betting line or not, which we did, of course.

Well, while we're all happy and smiling, there are some folks who are miserable. They want to stir the pot and they want to get us all arguing and fighting again. I would implore everyone not to fall for the trolling posts. We've got a bunch of reasons to be positive and happy right now. And on that note...

Happy early Thanksgiving to everyone. This could be one of the best holiday seasons coming up that we've had in a long time! Enjoy! 😀
