I’m so confused about this Kerr injury.

After he went down the trainer came over and straightened his right leg out while bending his foot backwards also. Indicating trying to relieve a cramp. My question is why was the trainer grabbing his foot with what looked to be little to no concern for the foot if the foot had a fracture in it? I was just watching the replay of the 2nd half and thought this was odd. Seemed like that would be painful as hell and Kerr would be telling him to turn loose of his damn foot if it had a fracture

SEC 9 game schedule

How likely do you think SEC officials are rethinking the idea of going to a 9 game league schedule? I mean the top teams cannabilized each other this year because of how difficult their schedules were. Only Texas has less than two losses and that's because they had a fairly manageable schedule.

If the SEC goes to a 9 game schedule they could be screwing themselves in the playoffs by only getting maybe 3 or 4 teams in instead of 5 teams that it deserves. Plus it will be rare they ever get the one seed because they will almost always have more losses than the B10 champ.

Oweh needs to pump the brakes a little…

Slow down otega. Quit progressing so fast and becoming a dominant guard every night you take the floor, we wanna see a senior Oweh. That play in the 2nd half where we were making a run, think we were down 6-8 at the time and he caught a pass from krissa then drove baseline and tried to tear the rim down had me more fired up than any other play in the game and gave me confidence that we weren’t just trying to make it a respectable score, we were going for the kill.

The SEC Has 12 Teams With 0 Or 1 Loss At This Point In The Season

The next 3 teams have 2 losses and the last one has 3. I can't recall this many teams doing this well to start the season. Still about 3 or 4 head scratching losses, but not nearly as many as the conference used to lose.

Definitely going to be a huge battle this season. Losses to each other won't hurt near as much with how highly we are all ranked. I could see a number of 7+ loss teams get high tournament seeds and a few 10+ still getting bids. I'm guessing the conference champ will still have around 6 or 7 losses.

Cost of keeping an unpopular coach

This is just a ball park estimate based on the following data estimates:

1. Average cost of a season ticket package with K-fund donation is about $1000.
2. Suppose half of the season ticket holders decide not to renew
3. There were 40,800 season ticket packages sold in 2024

$1000 * (40,800 * .5) = $20,400,000 lost revenue


This does not include lost revenue from individual ticket holders, concessions and license merchandise sale as well as parking pass revenue.
You might conservatively estimate these revenue could mount up to at least $5 Mil more.

The point I'm making here, is major college athletics is a business, when you have a coach in a situation like this, considering what it will cost to keep that coach as opposed to the buyout, the cost doesn't look to be quit as much of an obstacle as one might think.

Great basketball story - now lets talk about some football and coaching

Mark Stoops has done nothing but chatter. He has avoided his last radio show of the season and is not being very visible. He needs to lead. He can do it and he could endure himself to his players, his recruits, his coaches and UK fans everywhere. It is very simple. All he has to say is this one thing. "I love Kentucky and I am really pissed off about what has happened to OUR program under my leadership, I want everyone to know that I am committed and I will work my but off to get it fixed!" I want to announce that I will ask for my salary to be reduced and cut in half - as I admit I have done a half ass job recently. I ask that the other half be put in the NIL fund to help our players and our team achieve our goals. I want it to stay this way for the next 2 years. If we don't have a winning record by the end of year two. I will offer my resignation. I love Kentucky and Lexington is my home - I want to be here and watch UK play as long as I am on this earth!

Go Big Blue!

Sumrall nugget from UNC premium board

Yesterday:

** Jon Sumrall had a “great” interview, according to a source, further solidifying him as a top option in this search. The one drawback for his candidacy that has been brought up by multiple sources is his professed love for, and presumed pull to, his alma mater, Kentucky.

Sounds like Sumrall is still the frontrunner but they are talking to Campbell also.
