I know it was mentioned, but is there a particular place everyone is gonna meet up before the game? I’m flying in around 12:30 so I’m gonna be hanging out before the game. Just curious if anyone else is? And if so where? I’d love to say hi to a few people since I’m traveling solo. Cheers

@Travis Graf @David Sisk what is the likelihood of having a roster that includes:

JQ
Daryn Peterson
AJ Dabantsa
Reed Shepherd
Travis Perry
Billy Richmond
Jordan Burks
Somto Cyril
Adou Thiero
Joey Hart

Operating with the knowledge that JQ and Daryn Peterson have to stay in college for two years due to age.

Kind of a dream roster situation here.

FANDUEL has KY + 5.5 O/U 150.5. I like the CATS to win outright. Puke is -2.5 against State.

Can anyone address what SEC Mike is referring too? He doubled down on his newest podcast that he is hearing Mark Stoops time in Lexington is coming to a end. He even went as far as to say he didn't know how much he was allowed to reveal from what he has been told. He originally said it was something that needed to be worked out or he was gone.

Does anyone have ANY IDEA what he is referring to? Like him or hate him, the guy gets good info and he's new enough in the game to say a little more then the seasoned media members do. He also is very close with the guys on the other board so I wonder if that could be his info connection?

Dude has 5pts 1-10fg, 0-5 3pt, 2 ast, 8 reb, 5blk

His jumpshot and is garbage and he’s getting bodied by Brandon Miller in the summer league game. Feel bad that people hyped him up to be the next big thing and he will end up being the biggest bust.

Death, taxes, and Jay Bilas calling ANOTHER Duke game..nauseating!!!!

1-2?

Lost to James Madison with a top 5 recruiting class.

Is this how it works?

Also, Starting 2 graduates, a Sr, a junior, and a sophomore

Faaaaaar

Latest is hilarious (on A&M). Be sure to watch all the way through to the end with Herbstreit.

I’d say about half the fanbase can’t stand him, myself included.

BUT, it’s mainly due to not winning in recent years and not really being able to compete with the best teams we play (1-9 in last 10 games vs ranked opponents).

Cal has many other annoying personality traits. However, if he could turn this thing back around, a lot of people like myself could look passed those. And I know he’d sleep better at night with all of us bennies back on his side.

It starts tonight! Reunite this fanbase with a HUGE win!

Kentucky is the only program with three seven footers on the roster that are ALL sidelined AT THE SAME TIME? Does this crap only happen in Lexington? Mindboggling.

Peterson Slightly less than Wall
Quaintance = Cousins
Cyril > Orton
Fland = Bledsoe
Richmond/Perry > Hood/Dodson

I truly feel Cal will finish out his UK tenure very similar to how he began.

Everyone picking against UK. Predict we will play loose and pull out a win tonight.

UK always plays well as an underdog!

Which YT TV packages need to be purchased, in addition to base plan, to get UK games? Thanks

Hello HOB. Back over at the JCFTC for today’s practice wrap-up. It’s Tuesday, so that means offense day for interviews. We’ll have OC Liam Coen and select coaches/players joining us at approx 5:30 ET. Stay tuned for the latest news and notes…

LIAM COEN Q&A:

* On the SC defense… Had a bead on some things in their advance scouting, but Gamecocks made a shift in what they were doing to something similar to what Mississippi State does. It really threw Vandy off, understandably. Annoying for a play-caller.

* Thinks the players understand what’s on the line here. We have to have this one. Kinda nice to be on the road, us against the world mentality.

* On priorities for roster building with December drawing closer… Expects some attrition. Have a lot of things to figure out. But main focus is we have to win this game this week.

* Thinks guys still have a bad taste in them about losing this game at home last year. Will be inspired.

* On Leary and not seeing middle of field well or having balls batted down lately… Alabama caused some of those issues. That hasn’t bothered him as much against other defenses. Plus, he‘s really good at slinging it down the field in his career, so he likes the deep sidelines.

* Alabama taking it to a new level right now, doing things you didn‘t see from them a couple of weeks ago. They’re going to make a few more opponents look like that.

Ill say #5.

It would make for an awesome night if Michigan State can beat Duke and Kentucky slaps Kansas around. I really feel the Cats win 81-76.

Maybe Coach Howard stole their plays ?

Looks like it's gone up from 4.5 to 6.5 over night. Wonder if Vegas knows Thiero is out?

This is a pretty incredible article from ESPN. I never thought Jimbo was a good hire but kudos to his agent. While almost every other coach has their buyout payments mitigated by any salary gained from their next employer. Jimbo gets paid in full regardless of what he might get paid somewhere else. 19M due almost immediately and then 7.2M a year through 2031. DAAAAAAAMMMMMMM.
