U b tuff! Looks quite pretty.Good Sunday morning everyone.
UConn vs Purdue.....pretty much to be expected from early on. I too hope Purdue wins it. If not, 6 titles in 25 years for UConn. Ugghhhh.
We went on a 7.5 mile hike in the mountains of VA yesterday. Cold start....mid 20's wind chill and got high enough to get into some snow. Nice time.
I hope everyone has a great Sunday.
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
Praying for UConn to have an off night and Purdue to be hot.
Yeah, I’d be happy with that. But there is something about being able to cite to Big Ten basketball fans the fact that the entire conference has ONE championship since the 1980s, and none in nearly a quarter century. If, as I suspect, that record remains intact I’ll be sure to quote it to the Ohio State and Michigan State and Indiana —and now Maryland —fans where I work.
That does say a bit about how hard it is to win when the whole damn conference hasn’t won since 2000 and only that one time since 1989.

Battle of the giants Monday night. Edey vs. Clingan. Should be a good watch just for that.

Kentucky just beat Alabama to complete the sweep of the weekend series. 8 straight SEC wins for UK who now sits at #17 with a 27-4 record. Should move up in the next poll.
I actually watched the last two innings. What is wrong with me?
What a terrible national championship game. I use to live by a bunch of Purdue fans, I hated all of them haha. I have to root for Purdue though.
How does UCONN make these runs always at the right time? They have 5 national championships...who did they play in the finals? Duke, Georgia Tech, Butler, Kentucky (when we were an 8 or 9 seed) and San Diego State. Now slow ass Purdue.
Big Ten hasn't won a title since Michigan State 2000.

2011 was an exception. They lost 7 of their last 11 games before the Big East tournament. Had to win 5 games just to make the NCAA field. Got a 9 seed and won it all somehow. Beating UK in the Final 4. That one really irked me.
Not counting on it.
I was excited when he came, excited he’s leaving
So glad Cal is gone. I love you Arkansas haha. Thank you so much.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 66°F and cloudy. Eclipse happening around 1:30 pm,. But wait. Thunderstorms expected. Might not view event very well, if at all. Today's high may reach 83°.
Huge news about Cal leaving. Let new coach speculation begin.
Monday, Monday....
Wishing y'all a great start to your week.

Just now seeing the news. Well, now who's staying (Reed??), who's leaving, and who are we hiring?
Wait, there's no April Fools Day on an eclipse day in April is there? I'm very surprised he would go to Arkansas.

You’d think there was an election as much coverage Cincy TV is giving to the eclipse. It’s not in totality, but 20-25 miles north or west is.
Good morning all,
Wow.... Just wow....
Skeptical 🧐 until it happens...
Heading inside, have a blessed day, be thankful....

Well, he has stunk it up the last few years so, going to feed the hogs makes sense.
Didn't matter what Barnhart said about Cal staying as a good chunk of the fan base, & probably the donor class, had been alienated. Cal finally realized how bad it is but took him a while. Good for all even if we don't hire a better coach. Animosity here not required. Me, I've been down on college hoops for 10 years or more, Cal not withstanding.

Per Hank Williams, "And that's all she wrote. Dear John, I've fetched your saddle home" to Arkansas.
If so Sir.... "ALL My Rowdy Friends are Coming Over Tonight...."........ thaat's right... 😁
I don’t trust Barnfart to hire the right man. Remember, this guy gave Elzy and Cal stupid contracts and hired Joker and BCG. If Jesus applied for a pastors position
at a megachurch Barnfart would probably hire a recent seminary graduate

Probably correct... I sure hope Tyler Ulis is still at UK..... He is a Wildcat and should always stay one!
Too many names being thrown around and most are not realistic:
Hurley- why would he leave UConn especially if he wins another title tonight.
Donovan- said he hated the college recruiting process. Has anything changed. Plus he's been out of the college game for quite a while now.
Pearl- hard pass. Don't like the guy plus he's 64 years old. I doubt he'd be a fan favorite.
Few- said he wouldn't leave the west coast. Also had a DUI if that even matters these days.
Wright- said he's happy commentating and why wouldn't he be. Cushy job and not many openings. He could have that job for years with a nice salary to boot.
Oats- just got his first Final 4 but could be a possibility and one that I would welcome. Problem, Bama has the money to keep him happy.
Drew- the most likely choice and probably not a popular choice with the fans. He's hit or miss every year but his contract is up so the timing is perfect.
I have no doubt there are other names in the pot. Maybe Mitch will go the route of UL and hire a hot mid-major coach. Who knows but he can't wait too long because of the portal. The better players need to be snatched up and may not wait to see who takes over the helm at UK.

Good morning folks.
It'll be an interesting few days to se how the new coaching search plays out.
Mitch is not the kind of dynamic, will-imposing leader I trust with this responsibility. He had to be forced to take Calipari after the alltime bonehead move of hiring Billy Clyde Gillispie.
There are about five guys who would excite me, and I think the chances of getting any of them are near zero -- Stevens, Wright, Donovan, Hurley, maybe Few.
After that I guess Oats is the best of the rest. Then you are quickly down to guys who would be a huge disappointment to me -- Pearl, Drew, Golden, Barnes.
Pretty nervous about how this plays out.

Golden is my first choice.
But if UK does not pull the trigger fast next year could be a losing season.

My boy Sammy can clear a room in 30 seconds or less......many nights I have to get up and take him to his room at the other end of the house........when I renovated I added a mud room......it is where the dogs stay.......especially Sir Flatulence.Good morning from ATX.

I haven't been over at the other board but I bet there is a bunch of crowing going on........I really don't have a nickle in this dime but the optics of the way that coaches leave UK is bad in my view.....always be care for which you wish.........
Us and 500 of our closest unknown friends are here at Holtkamp winery near Sunman. Nice place. Maybe 20% now.

Beautiful day for total eclipse watching, ~75 & near clear. Up there with beating NC LSU in OT at then Commonwealth. Temp does cool off near & at totality. Also get a breeze due to the lower temp vs. non-eclipse areas that are warmer.
Luke Murray, UConn assistant coach and Bill Murray's son, designed the Huskies offense.
Hey, it works.
Bert, it means that the feeling of watching the eclipse today at totality for me is up there with us beating LSU in 2OT when they went on to win the national championship. Can't say it's the best thing I've ever witnessed, but it's high up there.
Yep, also WSJ subscriber. Caught it yesterday.
UConn just too much for Purdue. One thing is for sure. One-and-done based teams can't win in the age of the portal. Experience wins out. Only one freshman started in the Final 4 this year. Hell, go back several years. The game has changed. I still hate the portal and NIL but coaches have to adapt or they'll get buried. Cal has become 90s Crum.
Probably the 3rd best title run behind UCLA (1964-1975) and UK (1948-1958).
