we played to many teams that was no good and beat a Duke team that can be average going to be a long season

Conference play is going to be a war.

We might be lucky too make the field. We can’t rebound play defense and can’t shoot.

Buffet is open for some of you bums!!! Go Big Blue!!! We got our coach AND team!

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.

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!

Is that good?

The second matchup is between the number five seed, Home Alone, and the four seed, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

When bratty 8-year-old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) acts out the night before a family trip to Paris, his mother (Catherine O'Hara) makes him sleep in the attic. After the McCallisters mistakenly leave for the airport without Kevin, he awakens to an empty house and assumes his wish to have no family has come true. But his excitement sours when he realizes that two con men (Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern) plan to rob the McCallister residence, and that he alone must protect the family home.

As the holidays approach, Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) wants to have a perfect family Christmas, so he pesters his wife, Ellen (Beverly D'Angelo), and children, as he tries to make sure everything is in line, including the tree and house decorations. However, things go awry quickly. His hick cousin, Eddie (Randy Quaid), and his family show up unplanned and start living in their camper on the Griswold property. Even worse, Clark's employers renege on the holiday bonus he needs.

The first matchup is between the number one seed, It's a Wonderful Life, and the eight seed, Scrooged.

George Bailey has so many problems he is thinking about ending it all - and it's Christmas! As the angels discuss George, we see his life in flashback. As George is about to jump from a bridge, he ends up rescuing his guardian angel, Clarence - who then shows George what his town would have looked like if it hadn't been for all his good deeds over the years.

In this modern take on Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," Frank Cross (Bill Murray) is a wildly successful television executive whose cold ambition and curmudgeonly nature has driven away the love of his life, Claire Phillips (Karen Allen). But after firing a staff member, Eliot Loudermilk (Bobcat Goldthwait), on Christmas Eve, Frank is visited by a series of ghosts who give him a chance to re-evaluate his actions and right the wrongs of his past.

Alabama and SEC can't be happy. ACC with 2- shocking.

Without his effort in the first half it would have been much worse. He is improving like crazy.

The good:

We got a damn team son.

The bad:

I got too drunk after we won and sat down on the toilet too hard and cracked the bowl. Water went everywhere from the bowl, flooded the floor and now my wife wants to kill me.

Go Cats

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.

Winning a game against a big-time opponent in a hostile environment!

Seeing our coach make adjustments and play a 1-3–1 zone was absolutely heavenly.

This is what I’ve missed from my Cats the last few years.

Cheers!

The 2024-25 College Football Playoff will consist of the Fiesta, Peach, Rose and Sugar Bowls in the quarterfinals — with the No. 1 team owning the right to pick which of the four sites they want to play at. The CFP semifinals will be played at the Orange Bowl and Cotton Bowl.

16 to 16 in regulation.
Texas only scored 4 more points than big blue.
UGA only scored 6 more than Ky.
We were that close.
Actually missed it by that much.

Kansas getting walloped by Mizzou in the first half

The unraveling continues...

We need to look only to the future, but it’s impossible not to compare it to our past. I know so many are sick of hearing Cal’s name, but to know where we are now you have to look at the past.

Being 8-1 with two top 10 wins in the first month would’ve been thought impossible with Cal. He would’ve had athletes, but they would’ve been young and would’ve lacked experience to face this kind of adversity we’ve seen already. Let’s not forget Ga St hit us in the mouth and these veteran players responded winning by 30. There’s a very good chance a Cal coached team loses to Georgia St.

When it comes to coaching, it didn’t exist. Cal is a fraud and should’ve never been inducted into the HoF. I stand strongly by that. Amazing recruiter, but cannot coach his way into an Olive Garden. No adjustments, no defensive changes, no offensive ran plays. The man hated calling timeouts in close, late game situations. What we saw last night was special coaching. I have an issue with how Pope sees the first half, but it can’t be denied how amazing he is at coaching and getting his players to by in.

Where is the yelling? It’s non-existent. Pope encourages his players from the bench and observes. He checks to see how his players are executing his plans and takes notes. Idk if this is new, I’ve never seen it before, but on the bench I see assistants sitting with the players. Instead of all the coaches being on one side and the players on the other, they’re all mixed together and the coaches are still coaching.

With all that said, it’s annoying… but we’ve gotta look at the past to gauge where our future is. This is special. This is a breath of fresh air. We needed our program back and we’ve got it. Pope embraces the fans, doesn’t fight us. He embraces the culture, he doesn’t try to redefine it.

We’re back boys. Enjoy it!

Sounds like it could be fast paste......

As much as I was dogging him for most of this game, which he deserved, he came through late. I was worried every time he touched it, but he didn't turn it over down the stretch (I don't think), and actually made some shots. Let's pray he was just in a funk for a few game and is coming out of it.
