I hope SAE does a live podcast of kicking the tents down.

I can't wait to be in a packed Rupp Arena, tbh.
Anth please get ya girl. I Ignored this last time but come on man! You can’t whine about her dragging you into fights and then watch her mouth off like this.
Sack up!
Yeah.
UK needs to decide if Madness is made for TV or for a live audience and go from there. It is just half-baked now and nothing works right. If they want to improve it, they should start with figuring out a way to integrate the women's team in a way that doesn't make half of the production literally unwatchable and actually causes people to resent the women's team when they are supposed to be getting showcased. Maybe a 2 on 2 3 point shooting contest with a mixed duo or something. That could actually be fun.
With 24/7 coverage, I'm not sure if Madness isn't just a relic of the past that takes up more resources than it is worth, tbh.
When it was a packed crowd at Memorial at midnight frothing at the mouth for the first glimpse of this year's Cayts, that was an event! Now what is it?
I wonder if it's always sucked balls, and now we're just old? Strong possibility. Obviously worshipped as a youth, and still enjoyed that first look well into my 20s...the John Wall year was obviously dope AF.
If the kids love it, and it's well attended, I'm all for it. Just doesn't interest me even in the slightest anymore.

It's true - I absolutely love the B/W game. Maybe one of my favorite things to attend.
Spelling / grammar dweebs, which is correct "anymore" or "any more"? Spellcheck recognizes "anymore" but it looks weird to me.
Confusing.

I don't even care to watch Madness on TV anymore tbh.
The “B/W game or Madness?” question is a good litmus test to separate the reals from the busters
Well the good news is that this doctor is insanely arrogant -- so you're in great hands.
Huge get by the Hogs w/ Nick Smith, btw. What a great hire Muss was.
Flossing a custom tailored red suit and that drip and pimp walking out of a Cessna onto an Arkansas tarmac. Wow.
What.

Madness is hearing the same list of accomplishments and then was made worse by the TitleIX inclusion of the Women’s team (which makes it unbearable).
if we don’t have some dudes who can throw down vicious dunks, it’s a complete waste of time.

Believe that's a King Air, and I don't know, but I'm guessing Cal is using a jet.
He'd be more awesome if he'd return my call. Trying to set him up with a sweet job.
Madness better at midnight and was once a fun event. Still will watch on the couch with a bourbon because, well, I eat up UK basketball.

When Madness was at Memorial, started at midnight, and the crowd was first come-first serve it was an incredible event. Even with the women's team.
They've sucked all the fun out of it.
Midnight Madness had its place and time. And that was at midnight and before YouTube/Smart Phones. Either put it back to midnight and make it a real practice, or cancel the travesty this has become.
Thanks for this rec. The podcast is amazing for BoB junkies.

All I'm saying is that "scrimmage" last year was too much even for what Madness has become.
I think I went to one of the first ones that wasn't at midnight when I was at UK and it was lame. I didn't even wait in line I just walked up and went right in 20 minutes before it started.

We're never getting back to the midnight-at-Memorial days, so if it's gonna stay at Rupp at 8:00 and be on ESPN, here's what they should do...
-Limit the time people are in their seats prior to showtime. It's a long slog through countless fan "contests" and promos hosted by Christi Thomas or whoever. Open doors at 6:30, start at 7.
-Start with the cheerleaders doing a routine. They win all these national titles, they deserve the floor for a bit.
- Have a brief UKMBB alumni game featuring guys from back in the day. Let them play 20 minutes, running clock. Would be good to let them get some love from Rupp fans one more time. Bonus points if they're NBA vets, always a nice reminder for recruits in attendance.
- Hype video for the women's team, then intro the women's team
- Hype video for the men's team, then intro the men's team.
- 2Ball competition featuring pairs of mens/womens players.
- Slam Dunk competition.
- Three-point competition (loop women in this too, if you want)
- 20 minutes men's scrimmage.
-Throw basketballs into the crowd. Say goodnight.
That's what they should do, IMO, but they would never dare tell the women's team that they can't have their own scrimmage. But once the show got started, THAT was the section that always slowed it down to a crawl.

If we're removing tent city madness should be for the in person fans. Hell its basically the only thing left for that segment of the fan base.
What is the name of the podcast. I use Apple podcasts and that link tries to get me to login to Spotify, which I don’t use. 4 different ones on Apple.

I can't understand why women basketball players and a few talking heads / media people can't comprehend that no one gives a shit about women's basketball - including pretty much all women. The new excuse is that this is because it's not promoted enough, and if they use terms like "March Madness" for the women, more people would watch it. Pretty much insanity at this point.
With all due respect to yo dawgs like BBdK, that's a horrible lineup.

the last time I went to madness was a NIT year, so I won't be going back. Also other than the player intros and bringing out the old players to re raise the banners, it was really boring.
I finally agree with 1 of your rap takes.
this is like Jermaine Dupri doing a Welcome to ATL remix with ALL NY rappers!
WTF kind of nonsense is bringing all South LA rappers to Louisiana for a half time show!
Only 1 month tommy, 11-1
Rap has its time in place. For most people that was in high school, but I get that some of you still appreciate it. I have no issue with that. I even like some of Kendrick Lamar's stuff, and I am fully aware of the contributions that Dre, Snoop, Eminem, and Mary J Blige made to the genre. My issue, however, is that rap usually sucks when it's live; it's significantly better in a produced setting. And you know what's worse than live rap? Live rap from washed up performers.
My preference for Super Bowl would be a rotation of the top pop / R&B performers.
