Good morning folks.
Well, we were a minute and a scared play call on defense from one of those memorable days as Cat fans.Hoops team sure can score. I'm worried about the defense. My experience is you can't turn defensive effort off and on. It is either part of a team's DNA, provided by the coaching staff from the first practice, or it isn't. And in the same way that good defense never takes a day off, neither does bad defense. Still, Cal has a good track record as a defensive coach, and some of the mistakes are fixable -- especially when it comes to interior defense with Bradshaw and Onyenso. Those guys are still playing their first few games.
As for football, I've been ready to try someone other than Stoops for a while. But I don't get to vote. Mitch will always play it safe, and instead of saying Kentucky should at least be improving at the same rate as Missouri will say 7-6 is better than 3-9. As it is, the Cats beat exactly ONE major college team with a winning record, and that was the overrated Louisville.
My wife still dealing with COVID. My daughter says she's past it, so it doesn't appear to last long. So far so good for me. I think I've probably had a mild dose, but as long as I'm working from home it doesn't matter.
Some good games today. Hope you all have a restful day.
