I am old enough to remember when that was used.

I’m in my early 30s and used it growing up…but I’m from Eky w old mountain grandparents.

Reality is, it’s backed by science to an extent. Soaking in vinegar is proven to help soreness and inflammation…the brown paper bag is just to use the pieces to make a wet soft cast to silt in in place w an ace bandage overnight so you aren’t submerged. (Also helps application by wrapping shoulders/knees etc for places you can’t soak in a bucket. Crazy how the old timers knew stuff like that without really “knowing” it…just through observation and generational pass down

But you could prob just sit with your foot in a bucket an hour once or twice a day a get some benefits

Anybody wonder what's really going on with Butler? Might just be PTSD from years past but how bad is he?

Yeah , you’re looking for something that isn’t there.

Hope your right.

A guy like Butler, powerful and fast, puts tremendous pressure on his body. And, he needs to get as close as possible to 100% to do what he does. So, lighten up, Francis's, he just needs time to get back as close to game speed as possible before he gets back out there. He's fine.

Wrap that ankle up and play. I think my generation was tougher than these young kids are today.

NBA dreams and potential unfortunately are part of these decisions now.

Don’t start. This is a new breed of Wildcat.

It’s also worth noting that this is our biggest rivalry game of the year and it’s at RUPP!!! If I’m Lamont, I’m itching and clawing to play in this one! No way in hell I’m sitting this one out!

NBA isn't an option for most of these guys.

Agreed. You're missing the point I was making. The college landscape has been different for awhile now. Anyone old enough knows that back then guys would have played through many of the injuries you see nowadays unless that injury was serious. I wasn't really talking about Pope or OUR guys, these kids want to be here. Talking in general, the futures of athletes are taken much more into account than the playing through injuries that used to happen, or coming back from injuries sooner.

Louisville is down 3 guys and the game is in Rupp, there shouldn't be any sacrificing of games.

Some of these fans are absolutely spineless this year. It’s freaking L’s down and they are scared.

In fairness to Lamont, he has no skin in this rivalry and Louisville has done a very poor job of making it a competetive rivalry the last 15 years.
I want LB to play, but I wouldn't blame him if he didn't view UL like most UK fans do.

Yeah, there's no sacrificing games.

Was it over when the German's bombed Pearl Harbor? I think not.
