Speaking of.... Hoots on Dutchmans it is for lunch.

* Ticket sales are up at Commonwealth this season, and we're still months away.

Eight home games, and every one of them is winnable. We're a football school, y'all.

* Melanoma or carcinoma....some sort of a 'noma.

* The only reason Brad's welcome in Lexington is that it keeps his father here as well. Guess we might as well keep him.

* I really think this is going to be the most fun NBA Finals we've seen in a few years. I love a fun, "upstart" team like the Raptors making it. Their fans knowingly treat it like a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. Both arenas will be absolutely bonkers.

* On the talent vs experience spectrum, too many fail to realize that experience often IS talent. You have to be an incredibly, exceptionally, amazingly talented 18/19 year-old to outperform a seasoned vet -- guys like Blackshear. Just like the NBA drafting on potential, we're assuming every single freshman will be as good as advertised.

Put it this way -- how many freshman next year in the entire country will be better than Blackshear? Maybe a few? 5? He's the missing piece to the championship puzzle, imo.

 

[RibsAndWhiteBread]

Pretty sure ticket sales are generally down at most schools too. Hence why alcohol sales are becoming more acceptable.

Eliminating the seats in Commonwealth, rather than expanding just because other schools were- was one of the smartest decisions the program made.

 

[Brandon Stroud]

Can't root for the Raptors in good conscience unless they roll out in these bad boys at least once

 

[PTI (pti)]

I believe those are from Vince Carter's rookie year, back in 1943. Is that right?

 

[MaxPowerrr]

She did a great job imo

I mean I think she’s the official HOT SUMMER JAM of 2019 even though that title usually goes to a song

 

[ukwizard]

Louisville fans declaring themselves as "Back" because Rothstein put them at #2 is a very Indiana basketball sort of thing.

 

[Hankshaker]

 

[legalbeagle123]

I think the main reason Rothstein has UL #2 is because Rothstein is an epic dumbass.

"Put the ball down and let's play" Big Dawg Marrow - 5/20/19

 

[Kooky Kats]

The advancement of using drones to track tornadoes has created some really interesting footage.

Why didn’t they launch Pepsi products into the center?

 

[Mashburned]

Nye County, NV is something else. That place has to be a conspiracy. Like it was settled by survivors of the Area 51 experiments. Birthplace of Jordan Jones. Great ball player.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

LivePD, also.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

Cincinnati Bengal LB Jordan Jones?

 

[catfan in loserville]

So UGA is allowing beer sales. However it’s in designated areas, and you can’t while in your seats watching the game.

For a $25K donation (that is only good for 5 years).

 

[PTI (pti)]

the “Magill Society.”

 

[B.B.d.K.]

Sounds familiar

 

[MaxPowerrr]

Hmmmm that or stay home and watch with beer I dunno man why is attendance dropping

Same thing UKBB is doing.

 

[SAECATFAN]

Sounds pretty dope.

 

[wcc31]

Rothstein’s a loudmouth yankee dbag.

 

[anthonys735]

Sounds pretty dope.

Think it's like $2500 per year for access to buy booze that you can't drink in the games. Lolz. Think I'll just stick with the Hyatt bar and delicious tall draft Bud Lights.

 

[cawoodsct]

I’ll stick with airplane bottles

 

[Hankshaker]

In memory of Earned Not Given leaving, I think my favorite GYERO joke ever was BristolCat (I believe) cracking wise that Brad Calipari looks at Wenyen Gabriel and curses God in his heart. Nailed it.

 

[krazykats]

ZOMG!!!1!!!1 that’s hilarious!!!1!1!111!!!!!

 

[Hankshaker]

Also, Kahlil Whitney refers to himself as "The Dragon".

 

[SAECATFAN]

Anth’s set up at The Kroge is beyond reproach btw.

That really IS pretty dope, actually.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

Go America and stuff, but I’ve always thought ‘Oh Canada’ is

 

[wcc31]

Any NKY or Cincinnatians want to join Rudd and I for lunch Sunday? Thinking wings but we’re open.

 

[Wildcat Willy]

Chad or Rudd, looks like I have 1 freebie next to the Boats, Marge and myself for Saturday’s Reds game vs the Nats.

 

[Wildcat Willy]

Good seats behind home plate, lowers but one section over from the all-u-can-drink seats.

 

[drxman1]

Willy’s people have always enjoyed saving money.

Could be interested in a Sunday wing brunch. What you got in mind?

 

[Wildcat Willy]

Yes, we Catholics are a frugal bunch.

 

[Joey Rupption]

Oilers 2006 Stanley Cup anthem video is an all-timer.

 

[wcc31]

- Appreciate it, Willy but I’ll just see y’all at dinner.

- What a weak upcoming year in college basketball. Pretty underwhelmed by everyone’s roster. I get Michigan State but I’d take us #1. Guess we’ll see in November. But these teams getting Top 5 love:

Memphis- already nauseating hearing the geek sportswriters buying in on this one.

Duke- not buying their wings and already giggling at the idea of their D with Carey and Hurt on the floor together.

Louisville- meh

I mean, you have to stick someone in your Top 5, I suppose, but just not a very stocked cupboard.

- Meanwhile, I love Big Blue’s potential. I think Hagans- with some maturity- is going to be a damn stud. Love Maxey and Quick with him. Have some versatility, athleticism, defensive potential and even some shooting on the wings. And I’ll take our 3-man bigs rotation over anyone’s.

 

[BKH34]

Villanova is gonna be back in a big way, imo. Anticipating a much improved year from the entire Big East. Seton Hall ought to be really good with Myles Powell back and my boy Patrick Chewing had three of the six guys on the All-Freshman team.

Memphis reeks of 2001 Seton Hall. Houston will be better in that league and Cincinnati probably will as well.

 

[anthonys735]

'19 vs '20 with advantage in bold.

Hagans Fr vs Hagns So
Johnson Fr vs Maxey Fr
Herro Fr vs Whitney Fr?
Washington So vs Brooks
Travis Sr vs Montgomery So
Quickly Fr vs Quickley So
Richards So vs Richards Jr
Montgomery Fr vs Sestina Sr
Baker So vs Juzang Fr

Flip Travis if we can grab Blackshear. I love the idea of our back court but I'm concerned with foul trouble and production inside. If we don't add a scoring threat inside this will test Cal's preference, hopefully see him adjust like 2011.

 

[wcc31]

Gotta think Juzang is a decent bet to be the next Top 30ish guard to overperform his ranking.

 

[PTI (pti)]

Honestly, I think the three best players on that list were Washington, Travis, and Herro last year.

We need Sestina (to be as good as we hope) and Blackshear in a big way.

 

[anthonys735]

Hagans was our best player for 2 months, unfortunately he never recovered from the freshman slump. Maxey will be a top 3 player on that list, he's a star. So the Herro part doesn't bother me as he had his share of disappearing acts.

Washington and Travis are substantially better than anything we have this season.
