Opts out of Sun bowl.

So...Wilcox, Patterson and Mizell. Is that it? 3 RBs is not sufficient as we saw this year. Trayanum hardly played this year due to injury. Is another team really going to spend significant $$ on luring him? Surely, at least at this moment, he had to see himself at RB1 or RB1a. Without the promise of big NIL money, why move on? I would've expected him to get 1/3 or more of the carries next year assuming he stayed healthy. He came out of fall camp as RB1 so the staff must have liked him.

According to Bart Torvik.

Kentucky ranks 8th in the SEC in percentage of field goal attempts being from THREE. They are at 42.4%, and it has steadily gone down over the last few weeks. This is 113th in the country overall, which indicates that the SEC, largely, understands that this is the best way to play offense. At the same time, Kentucky is only 7th in the SEC and 95th overall in 3-point FG percentage, a number that has also tanked recently.

For this team to reach its peak, it likely need to increase in both attempts and percentage.

Tennessee, Auburn and Oklahoma, all are HIGHER than Kentucky in both categories.

Well, no matter how bad things have been here, they are nowhere near as bad as they are at Mississippi State right now.

They are losing their top guys at pretty well every position on the roster (24 so far) and all their top guys from this past season are gone; they are basically taking as many transfers as they can get their hands on. Already have 6 commits, and maybe 1 looks "good". I guess they could be getting some depth guys off the bat, but they look like the new Vandy for the time being. Mississippi State has almost always been really low in revenue in the SEC, and even behind a lot of Big 12 and ACC programs. I think with financials mattering more than ever in the NIL era they will probably be bottom 2-3 most years of the SEC now. Before they relied on the in-state pipeline, but with NIL, that's getting depleted by other programs coming in and taking a lot of that talent. They are 40th nationally in revenue, with the next lowest SEC program being 10 spots higher (Vandy doesn't report).

Portal Commits:
-A backup CB from Kennesaw State; yes a backup from a 2-10 year 1 FBS program
-A backup EDGE rusher from Northern Illinois. Actually listed 3rd at DE on Ourlads.
-A backup WR on a bad Michigan State offense
-A backup WR on a bad Oklahoma offense
-An EDGE rusher from NC State who was hurt the last 8 games. Had okay stats the year prior
-A solid safety from Old Dominion, but thats the closest thing to a bright spot so far, and it's not a great one

I mean, when you are getting backups from MAC and CUSA schools, something is wrong. Even as depth guys that's not a good sign for an SEC school. To get G5 backups as your backups.

Former #Patriots coach Bill Belichick, the greatest coach of all time, will become the next coach at the University of North Carolina, sources say. The deal is done. This is one of the power play moves to get UNC to the SEC…

Thoughts?

! It will help us in our seeding at the end of the season
2 Hurley while no doubt is a great coach is a complete ass.

He got paid so no biggie but he always would have got paid. My boy should have become a legend.

Thought it would be interesting for fans to post the worst take they have had regarding UK basketball.

And I am talking about a take that you thought for sure was right, and you were embarrassingly wrong. Never hurts to have a little self deprecating humor.

We have a lot of interesting people here. I see some folks that are kind and nice. I see some folks who are combative and mean, a some in between. It got me wondering if your online personality matches your in person peronality.

I'd say I'm pretty much the same except in person, I curse a lot. Whereas I don't on here for obvious reasons. I'm not combative in either realm. I let people think what they want.

So YouTube tv is raising rates again. Going to $82.99 month starting in January. Are there any other streaming tv recommendations that will ensure I get all the ESPN channels and SEC network? I guess I would for sure need TBS/TNT/Tru TV for March madness. $82.99 is getting a little ridiculous!

UK would have probably won it.
And Jones barely tipped it because even so, it hit off the backboard and the front of the rim.

It almost still went in:

Looking for a hidden gem place to eat before the game between 75 and Rupp near Man O War. May not have time for a long wait, any suggestions?

that he decided to play at UL just for that game. I hope he enjoys getting embarrassed on the biggest of stages.

Seems like I have heard and/or read that many observers believe that due to the new playoff format, it will discourage teams from playing tough OOC games in the future. Maybe even Deboer of Bama said so?

Anyway, I took a look at the teams actually in the playoffs this year and can't see why that would be true. Clemson played Georgia and Oregon played Boise State, and all four are in the playoffs, and three have top four seeds! Texas played at Michigan, Penn State opened with a road game at West Virginia, Tennessee played a neutral site game vs. NC State, SMU played BYU, Notre Dame played at Texas A&M, and even Arizona State hosted Miss State, who was pitiful but ASU was supposed to be really bad as well, and it was the first SEC team to play in Tempe in 16 years. Only Ohio State and Indiana failed to play anyone outside their conference in a P4 league, but to be fair, OSU did play three of the other 11 playoff teams, two on the road.

Looking at the above, my take is that if you have a good team, it is not going to hurt you to play at least one tough OOC game a year, even a loss (Clemson, Boise State) is not going to prevent you from being in the CFP, based on this year.

Going to be fun to watch. Tennessee @ Ohio State - Indiana @ Notre Dame- Clemson @ Texas- SMU @ Penn State no Alabama or Miami

What is the love affair with this guy? While better than stoops, look at Tulanes last two games... they got stomped when playing decent competition and never really upset any of the big boys. Look at the mid major guys that went to nebraska and florida that crapped the bed and didn't do squat. Those coaches are very similar to sumrall if you ask me. Why would he be successful at UK?

Who would have made the 4 team playoff this season? I'm bored so humor me.

1. Oregon
2. Georgia
3. Notre Dame (they ain't letting a 1 loss Irish not make it)
4. Texas? Penn state?

Arizona state, clemson and Boise nowhere close of course.

If there was still a 4 team playoff this season, the little fellas conferences would have been mad.

it's kinda nice once you accept it. I have absolutely ZERO expectations for this football program while Stoop is here. No angst, no worries, and as I mentioned ZERO expectations. UK is a basketball school, and that identity was chiseled into granite by Stoops himself.

The definition of understanding the assignment

And you're just getting started. Help out the NIL with some of that money you stole this season.
