With the official start coming later this week are you going to watch the Olympics? I may catch a few things but I do have to admit I was today years old when I realized that Break Dancing is now a part of the Olympics. 🤣

The more I watch and hear about Perry the more I like his potential in Blue. His shot and handles are very good. He’s going to have a nice career in Lexington because he’s a tremendous fit for Pope’s system.

Btw- Chandler will be outstanding too. More upside than any guard on the roster once he works himself back into game shape. IMO.

Starting to get a sense of what the 2025 class could potentially look like for Kentucky.

Braylon Mullins: Feel strongly that Kentucky is in the top three here and they’ll have a very solid shot until the end. If he’s going to leave the state of Indiana I think Kentucky and UConn are the best bets there, with Kentucky being much closer to home and UConn being the top dog in the sport currently.

Malachi Moreno: Kentucky’s right at the top here. Don’t think it’s a lock that he ends up there, but there’s a very good chance. Other teams have and staffs have been recruiting him a long time and are still putting in work for him consistently.

Tounde Yessoufou: Another one Kentucky’s firmly in the mix with. Other schools I’ve heard recent buzz about in conversation are Arizona and Tennessee. Kentucky is getting the last visit.

Jasper Johnson: Don’t think Kentucky is out of it, but I wouldn’t tab them as the leader here. He has a final five but I’d bet on it coming down to Alabama, Kentucky, and North Carolina.

What, in your opinion, was the best movie ever for each sport? I'll start...

Football: We Are Marshall

Basketball: Hoosiers

Baseball: Field of Dreams

Other: Sea Biscuit

France definitely does it different, but that’s not a negative towards them. I love all things Olympics. Life goes on hold for a bit for me. I can watch any sport at anytime and be happy. The true meaning of competition and an absolute honor to participate in.

We beat China by one gold medal last time. I think it will be a wider margin this time. Either way, watching these athletes at the absolute top of their game never gets old. They compete for the love of it.

Wondering about your thoughts as well. My thought is if he stays healthy the 2,300 better be hit, in order for the offense to be as good as it needs to be, and he should get there.

Please lawd let him pick the hometown.

The thread on Wilt Chamberlain got me to thinking about this. Nominate your choice for a sports record unlikely to broken in the lifetime of any of our posters

I'll start it of with these five (and in rough order of just my opinion of their unbreakability)

.426 single season MLB batting average (post 1900) - Nap Lajoie
11 consecutive PGA wins - Byron Nelson
2,857 NHL goals - Wayne Gretzky
2:24 for a mile-and-a-half - Secretariat
100 points in a single NBA game - Wilt Chamberlain

Also, speak up if you think any of these are not as untouchable as I think they are.

UK’s star transfer played two seasons at BYU before coming to Lexington, and he compared Chandler’s progress to some of his former teammates during a one-on-one interview with the Herald-Leader. “Yeah, I’ve seen it plenty of times,” Robinson said. “Collin’s picking stuff up quickly. I haven’t seen anyone else move as fast and learn as fast as he is right now, when it comes to the ramp-up. So it’s been cool to see — just him figuring it out and being able to learn everything so quickly. Because it’s a lot of information, and he hasn’t touched the basketball a lot in two years. So, yeah, it’s pretty impressive to watch.”

Anyone getting it and wanting to run a online dynasty

Celticat- Fsu (BasileusChristos)
Wildcatfan1982- Kentucky(WildCatFan82)
Jwsiegel- Ole miss (Insanesage235)

I recently lost an Aunt who was 86 yrs old. I wasn’t really close to her because she moved to Cal. When I was really young. She moved back about 20 years ago and has been renting a house from me. Anyway she retired from UCLA , where she worked as a secretary in their legal dept. Now let me tell you she didn’t give a hoot for any sports. Didn’t know what a field goal was. However she told me more than once that the great John Wooden got caught along with a Dr. there in Los Angeles for paying players. It as she described it was going to be a major embarrassment for the NCAA because of all the championship he had won ! She said Wooden agreed to retire and never coach again anywhere if they would allow that to happen. The NCAA agreed and Wooden announced his retirement just before playing us in the 75 title game. She always claimed that the players all drove cars from the dealership that the good Dr owned and a lot of other stuff. I’ve often wondered if there is any truth in this story and how has it remained so quiet ? Your thoughts please.

He makes $9M/yr and he’s complaining about the stress of NIL. You can’t make this stuff up.

“I feel very isolated, very alone. I’ll be honest, I don’t know how long I can take dealing with what I’ve dealt with. Myself, personally, I can only do so much. I’ve never felt this kind of stress and pressure.”

That’s a bit dramatic and over the top IMO. I’ve never liked sales jobs, but for $9M/yr, I would make it work without complaining to my customers. Work this stuff out with Mitch, don’t complain to us. At least he didn’t use the term “pony up” again.

Love: 4-years, $220M ($55M/yr)
Tua: 4-years, $212M ($53M/yr)

I just shake my head. IMO, at least Tua, when healthy, has put together some pretty good numbers. Still needs to improve but, to me, he's a proven solid (probably top 10 in the NFL or very close) NFL QB. Has to stay healthy, though.

IIRC, Love strung together 3 or 4 outstanding performances last season as he found his footing. But, when the Pack had every opportunity to knock off the Niners, Love did not step up and deliver. He doesn't have the body of work that Tua does but he's going to make $55M/year? I can't believe that the Packers couldn't have signed him to a 4-yr, $160M deal and saved some cap room. He just hasn't proved enough to give him that kind of money, imo. And that contract, if Love proves to be something less than brilliant, will hamstring the Packers and greatly reduce the possibility of them being able to trade him.

Curious if anyone remembers Couch’s basketball days, particularly his senior year where he lead the state in scoring at 36 points per game. Based on this article from KHSAA, linked below, sounds like he had a solid outside game. Have always been curious what kind of player he was. Obviously with over 3,000 points, he could play.

Tim Couch glory days.

Anyone remember and have some insight?
