Morning folks. It is cloudy and 57°F and it is supposed to stay at that temp for most of the day. There is no snow left.
On basketball. They say that Cal makes $8 million a year. If that is true it would mean he gets $200,000 per game if he gets to the third game of the SEC tourney and gets to the NCAA title game (40 games). Last year he coached 33 games so he made $242,000 a game. If he does not make the NCAA and loses the first SEC game he will make $250,000 a game. In my book he is not earning his keep.
We were supposed to have talent and experience this year. So far it has not paid off at all. I have not given up hope yet, but I don't see a lot of potential with this team unless something big happens.
On watching the games, I can't pass on watching them. The last game that I did not watch, attend or get on radio was in December 1965. I have too much invested in my string to stop now now matter how distasteful it may be. On top of that I started video taping them in December 1979 and have the majority of the games on tape, dvd or bluray. I know it is stupid but that is what I do.
In my basketball world I have never been as disappointed as the last two Cal led teams. Last year I though was the low, but maybe this year may be worse. At the least in the Gillispie years UK played fun basketball when he may have been too drunk to actually coach.
We are bombing out with a bunch of talent.
