A glorified scrimmage, if you will.

I saw that WKU QB Caden Veltkamp just went into the portal. I didnt watch any WKU football this year so I cant judge too much but it looks like he put up some pretty good stats- 2800 passing yards, 23 TDs with 10 INTs (dont love that) while running for 110 yards & 7 TDs. Hes got 2 years of eligibility left. Again havent watched any WKU football this year but it feels like he could be a good fit.

The kid can play and move. Would be a really good get.

Does anyone have lower level tickets to the Florida game on Jan. 4th?

My son and I were coming up from SC for our yearly basketball game and wanted to get them on here instead of paying ridiculous Ticketmaster fees

Thanks!

I hear there are some real diamonds in the rough there. Damn. Anyone else feeling apathetic about football?!?

On paper, seems decent. Haven’t done much digging on his history at UGA, though.


*Seems to have been a reserve at UGA but is only a sophomore. Former 4-star prospect as someone alluded to below.

UPDATED after 12-18 games


SEC is 154-20 overall, but that of course includes lots of "cupcakes". So how have we done vs the other P5 schools?

vs ACC, 30-4 (!!!!). The only ACC wins are by Duke, Clemson, SMU & Pitt. Also, EVERY (all 16) SEC school has beaten at least 1 ACC school, and every ACC school that has lost to an SEC school. SEC has no more ACC games.

vs Big East, 5-4. Wins over Creighton (2x), Providence, SH & St J; losses to UConn, Marq, Butler, Xavier. SEC has no more Big East games.

vs Big 10, 9-7. Wins over Illinois (2x), Michigan (2x), Purdue, Ohio St (2x), Rutgers (2x); losses to Illinois, Indiana, Ohio St, Oregon (2x), Purdue (2x). SEC has more games vs Big 10 (vs Illinois, Ohio St, Purdue) by Auburn, UK, Missouri.

vs Big 12, 14-2. Only Big 12 wins are by Baylor and UCF. SEC has no more Big 12 games

vs Other, 96-3. Notable "Other" wins are vs Gonzaga & Memphis; and the ONLY losses are to Memphis, Drake, & N. Florida. There are 2 remaining "notable" games (both vs Memphis).

Biggest SEC wins are vs: Duke, UNC (3x), Illinois (2x), Purdue, Michigan (2x), Arizona, Baylor, Houston (2x), Iowa St, Kansas, Creighton (2x), Gonzaga, Memphis

Just when I think we're starting to get some depth on the OL...

Ray was not spectacular but did at least as well as some of the starters and was versatile enough. He may have seen the AR transfer and figured his snap count would be drastically reduced but, my opinion, I think he'd seen some playing time next year as I'm not sure the transfers we've seen won't turn out to be less than Ray.

Curious to see who plays who and where, who has the tougher/easier schedules.

If you narrow down to the 5 currently ranked in the top 7:
- UT plays 3 at Home and 3 Away (6 total)
- Auburn plays 2 at Home and 3 Away (5 total)
- Alabama plays 3 at Home and 3 Away (6 total)
- UK plays all 4 at Home and 2 Away (6 total)
- Florida plays only 1 (UT) at Home and all 4 Away (5 total)

Other interesting observations:
- Texas only plays @ 1 of those top 5 teams (Florida), they play the other 4 all at Home; they also have Oklahoma and TAMU at Home, then Missouri and Ark.
- Vandy plays those Top 5 in 7 games (all but Auburn on the Road, and they play UK and UT both places); they also play Okl and TAMU on Road (6 of top 7 SEC teams on Road)
- Georgia plays those Top 5 in 7 games (all but UK on the Road, and they play Auburn and Florida both places)
- no team avoided playing at least 1 of those 5 teams twice

Sources are reporting. That would be a big pickup.

Version 14.
Well this time we will have a:
8 man
4 team 5x5
1 day tournament.

Champs get 125grand each.

Each game is to 40 points.

3 nba player teams and one 1st and 2nd year team.

1st and 2nd team comes from rising star game winner.



My thoughts:
ho-hum until I seen the 1st and 2nd year players got a team. That is something thats interesting to me. Can they beat the LEAGUE?
That is some nice spice added to the dish

that we can not have college amateur athletics anymore. It used to be so much fun to pull for the players who were OUR team. Now the major sports will be professional players who are just looking for a payday. The more I think about it - the more I see my fan days are over. It really doesn't matter who wins anymore. I see it is now starting to enter the High School level as well. Sports is really about entertaining the common people. Much like the Romans did with the Coliseum. The more things change the more they remain the same - lol! When UK fails now it is not about having the best team anymore- it is about having the team with the most money behind it.

Western, Eastern, Murray and Morehead will be the legitimate college teams - and their best players will be poached by the big teams every year. But what could happen is that college football may die as a sport. Think about it - how are the teams that are being poached really going to survive in the future. Those schools have to be looking at losing their fan base and their major income stream. How many paydays can they get from Ohio State and Kentucky? Will it be enough to keep their programs going? Some kind of decent plan for everyone better show up soon - or it will be over!

Go Big Blue! Because thats what I grew up with and I know!

A pass rusher is a huge need. Haven't had a good rusher in 5 plus years.

Sit Down!!!

The blue hairs told the Blue Coats to call the Blue Wall.

If I had to guess I would say Calzada is most likely to end up as UK's QB as of right now. That is the feel after Murphy's visit. Calzada has a ton of game experience and is more of a fit in what Hamdan wants to do on offense.

Dave Clawson just resigned as the head coach at Wake Forest. This is Brad White's alma mater, and he's probably at the top of their list to succeed Clawson.

TLDR; We are 45th in defensive efficiency. No team has ever won an NC outside the top 25 in defensive efficiency



Kentucky continues to win, but defensive challenges should not be overlooked

The return of Lamont Butler (33 points, 10-for-10) from an ankle injury sparked a 93-85 win for the Kentucky Wildcats over rival Louisville on Saturday, giving Mark Pope another victory to satisfy the program's rabid fan base. Kentucky's wins over Gonzaga and Duke, along with the other quality wins the program has amassed, have put the Wildcats in the early running for a top seed in the NCAA tournament.

They're playing at a top-25 pace, connecting on 37% of their 3-point attempts, and Pope's system has also allowed five different players to finish with a team-high in scoring over the course of their 11 games. Against Louisville, however, the Wildcats also surrendered 85 points (116 points per 100 possessions). The Cardinals committed just seven turnovers in a high-paced game, too.

Right now, the Wildcats are ranked 45th in adjusted defensive efficiency on KenPom. Since the 1996-97 season, there hasn't been a national champion end a season ranked lower than 22nd. While some of the champions over that span improved in the postseason, the one-month mark of the season is a solid snapshot of where a team stands.

And the truth is that the Wildcats have to be more disciplined on defense to reach their ceiling. They gave up 50 points in the first half against Gonzaga before their great comeback in Seattle earlier this month. They missed key stops in a loss to Clemson, too. Part of the challenge is the Wildcats play a defensive style that doesn't include a lot of gambles to force turnovers. Kentucky entered the week ranked 340th nationally in opponents' turnover rate. The Wildcats are so diverse and effective on offense that their defensive lapses have not outweighed their offensive gifts. But even a marginal defensive improvement could elevate the program to another level in the weeks and months ahead. -- Medcalf

Haven't seen it posted.

How many of our 22 starters will move on to another school. When you take graduation/draft out of it. Who is going to stick around from our top 22 guys?

I’m curious how many starters we are expected to lose to other schools.
