Have to assume an upgrade in pullover is on the table for Stoops right now.
We'll see though.

i know I would definitely be more inclined to fight downtown traffic on a Monday night to watch Kentucky play central
Michigan if there was some luxury suites for me to look at from my $125 nosebleeds with metal seatbacks.

Would also think scheduling teams with a combined 6-21 record and RPI in the mid 200's keeps your average fan from attending a mid-week game?
The home schedule has been spotty at best the past few years but it's horrendous this season. Take a marquee game away from Vegas or NY and you'll see Rupp at bonkers level again.
My suggestion would be to eliminate more of those shit nose bleeds for a more entertaining environment. Granted the early season schedule is definitely to blame as well but it's not the only reason. Masks, no booze, shit schedule, archaic layout, expensive.
It was just colossally ignorant to redo Rupp and not add in those areas.
UK football is on its best foundation with the best trajectory in my lifetime. Pretty cool to see us become a destination for playmakers on both sides of the ball.
We are going to be a legit contender to win the East next year.

It's difficult to justify driving to Lex on a work night right after a major travel holiday to watch the Cats play a tomato can, even more than it is on a normal work night for a garbage home opponent. Which is the major of the November-December slate last couple years. (Not to mention the cost.)
Yep they should have turned the shit endzone seats into suites and clubs instead of just having them empty. I think what they did for Commonwealth was a good blueprint.
You can thank Eli for that. He personally lobbied for our legislature to not fund those interior upgrades because he thought it would take away from UKs general fund.
As ap.com pointed out. What venue built in the last 20 years doesn't have those areas?
Hell we're still short changing ourselves at Commonwealth. They could easily double it.
The new "clubs" at Rupp are a joke. Buried in the depths of the basement as far from the seats as they could possible be.
Big game Commonwealth >>> Big game Rupp
The parking is BY FAR the best thing about it. Long walk back to the seats at half.
Feels like the play at commonwealth is to take down the corner EZ trailers and build a nice wall of suites on the Nicholasville end zone and a huge video board wall on the Nutter end zone maybe with a “deck”/SRO area of like the one end zone at the pizza pit - not sure if we’d have the room to fit that in there, though
Meh, I park free on Mill St. 1.5 blocks away. Out those High St doors and to my car long before trying to get back downstairs.
Just such a miss on what is a really nice renovation.
I always felt like that tweet played a significant role in Gran's firing. Not because Watkins was can't-miss, but because that was our reputation among recruits.
Stoops needs to shave his head. The brushed back cul-de-sac is a terrible look. Streamline it, Mark.
This coaching carousel is amazing. Kelly will destroy at LSU. The SEC West is absolutely stacked with big name coaches. Saban, Kelly, Fisher, Leach, Kiffin. Murderer's row.

WWH took me to the K Fund donor room
a few years back before a game. It was cool to hear Robic speak beforehand but good gracious what an embarrassing spread for the “Gold Standard of College Basketball”.
There was a soft drink machine in a corner and a “buffet” that included hot dogs, potato chips and cookies. There was some janky looking furniture laying around and 1 or 2 small tv’s. I felt like it was some high school booster club setup.
MilqueToast walks in with his head down to the floor and doesn’t say a word to anyone.
It just blew me away that Kentucky Basketball’s top donors were spending major coin to stand in some cheap looking setup to eat hot dogs and Lay’s potato
chips. It probably never struck MilqueToast to get some nice furniture in there with a bar and maybe offer some food other than what you get at a little league baseball game.
Say what you want about UL basketball but they know how to cater to the donors. You walk into any of the club sections at the YUM and there’s carving stations, bars galore depending on what you like to drink and an overall posh setup. Even the general non premium areas have great options for fans who want a decent bite or maybe want a beverage to enjoy while watching the game.

I'd like to see them mirror the southside changes. I think it would look really cool and make the place loud AF.
The new clubs fix that other than being buried down in the depths of the arena. They're literally adjacent to the parking garage. Lol. The interiors are really nice though and you can at least get a drink, but you can't leave the room with it. I mean...
If Stoops had Shannon Dawson's dimples he would be the HC of the Dallas Cowboys
Anyone heading to BIG BLUE VEGAS?
Id enjoy hanging 50 on Wisconsin in Tampa for obvious reasons.
Is Stoops plan is to wait Farentz out and take over at Iowa, be corn fed for the next decade? I think he said it on the UL post game show his dad was buried with his Iowa jersey. Sometimes nostalgia knocks. Who knows.
Rupp is going to be an issue in the next few years the interior LL seats are deteriorating and generally the place is trending dump. I love being in there for any games but its light years behind where it should be in 2021.

We're not at the level that we can turn down a transfer like Watkins.
We're probably losing our best two WR's and Jordan can stretch the field.
No brainer to take him if he wants to come here.

It was just a question but yeah I think image plays a role in this sort of thing.
Wife has been sick in bed for 3 days. Went for a test, COVID
Which is weird, because she's had the shots and booster.

We are losing our best two WRs and we had no one else this year who was even playable.
So ND sold Aamil Wagner on Vince leaving after this season. Now Kelly is gone.
How have we moved on from the fact that some of you think Brian Kelly is around $9M a year better looking than Stoops?
The Rupp schedule has been addressed ad nauseum, but it can be fixed so easily. The season already not only starts a bit too early, but also has too many games packed into non-conference. You only need 10 OOC games: Louisville, Champions Classic, one true road game at a Power Five school, one weeknight home game against a Power Five school, two against "local" mid-majors (EKU/NKU/Morehead/Evansville, etc.), two against mid-majors with legit postseason hopes (like Richmond a year ago), and two against scrubs (ideally, with ties to the program, like Sean Woods/Southern and Tubby/High Point this year). I assume that with the additions of OU/Texas, the SEC/Big 12 Challenge is going away, so those 10 are all you need. And quit playing randos for exhibition games while you're at it. You've got 5/6 in-state NAIA/D2/D3 schools that would provide a decent look and some alum attendance, so quit playing Brad's middle school coach's uncle's school or whatever.
The home schedule does suck, but also consider that the Louisville game is still not sold out. That's unheard of territory.
You don't like his pullover where the word " Wildcats" looks like a bumper sticker?
Need Sharpe to start taking those Allen and Ware minutes ASAP.
Love the Stoops look game day, he just finished checking the oil on the Ford, had a bite to eat and put on the headset to listen to the game while he cuts the grass.
Looks like Blue Duct tape imo.
