Has there been any definitive information about the possibility (or not) of Sharpe playing this season? I say you go ahead and do it if he is the type of talent that could move us up to a bona fide contender.
 
Not sure about looks and coaching opportunities but it will be interesting how they sculpt Mark's statue on campus after he surpasses Bear. Dude is frumpy.

Bryce Hopkins, love that guy! I see another Chicago kid when I watch him. Not overly athletic and neither was the other Chicago kid but has potential to be Freshman Walker like by conference play.

Ware seemed off somewhere else last night or maybe I misjudged his demeanor. Always thought he played with more excitement and abandon. Regardless, we need that guy to help mitigate when Oscar is sitting.
 
Texas playing a students only home game in the volleyball arena is exactly the type of shit everyone here has been clamoring for Kentucky do but will NEVER DO IN A BAZILLION YEARS. Can you imagine a first come first serve crowd at memorial for a game against Florida/Tennessee/Alabama? It’d be awesome and probably sell out. And will never happen in a bazillion years.
 
The constant nagging that Mark Stoops does over the track at the indoor facility is extremely lol IMO. Just totally petty and unnecessary but funny. I keep imagining him in practice about to blow a gasket because a handful of non revenue athletes are in the same facility as his team.
The indoor football field is cut off at the corners and in the endzone with the running track (and down the sidelines), which is slippery as snot on a doorknob when you are in cleats. It's a safety issue as much as anything. I've been to a couple of practices in there and while they try to avoid it I've seen players bust their ass on it.

Being the only sec school without a dedicated facility is also a good reason to get him one.

Scheduling issues have to be considered as well.
 
What does Stoops want, with respect to a practice facility. The one we have is what? 5 years old?
Nutter indoor is a combined football practice field and indoor track facility. Stoops wants his own, dedicated, indoor facility.

The plan as I've heard is to build a new track facility where the old baseball field is and convert NI into a football only field.
 
Try throwing a fade to the corner in this end zone.

Another gripe I've heard about Nutter indoor is that the ceiling is too low for special teams work, so they might raise the roof up to accommodate kicking.

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.
One step further, probably best foundation/trajectory ever, not just our lifetime.

Had tix to Vegas but the flights back to RDU were horrible. My best option was leaving at 9PM Sat night. No thanks.

I was all in on doing a student only game at Memorial. Then I went to that UNLV NIT game at Memorial. The site lines suck! Rupp is way better.

It’s a Reggie Bush lawsuit waiting to happen.
 
Brady, what’s that PP again? Maybe I can send a request!

I got round 2 with Woodford county Thursday afternoon. I’d love it if someone like Stoops was partnered up with this distillery. I know it’s a silly notion but I guarantee this whole “approval” process would be different. F’ing Aholes govt is. To think if it gets approval at the county I then get to file for the DSP with the feds and the state........can’t wait!

UK needs to bring back the game in Louisville. No interest at all to go mid week or on the weekends to see basketball. Nashville though, I might have to make a trip this year.

Titans have blown what was a 2 game lead in the AFC in 2 weeks. Truly amazing.

A lot of good TV right now. Yellowstone tops it all, but Mayor of Kingstown is fantastic.

I made December’s quote yday(our month starts this week somehow) and have 6 house starts on top of that monster day 1 of the period.

Really need a slow down which is coming 2022.

Finishing landscaping this week. Thankful to get it done before next weeks weather. I’ve impressed my self here with this project.
 
Try throwing a sideline out pattern in Georgia's indoor practice facility. I would take my chances on the track coming into play on a end zone fade. Brick walls have no give. Pretty sure steel beams would hurt also. Less room in their indoor, a lot less. It is nice doh. Slicker than a newborn babies ass.

Did someone really compare Bryce Hopkins (no offense to Bryce) to MF'n Antoine "Shimmy" Walker ?? Both from Chicago, that is about it. AD from Chicago to but not putting him in the same discussion as Bryce (once again no offense to Bryce). Stop it, one was a stud from the jump, the other, a two / three year work in progress. And that is OK, everyone has their own timetable.

Titans have "blown" a two game lead because the have lost the best RB in the league, their top WR, not to mention SEVERAL other injuries that have decimated them, I wouldn't say they blew the lead, I would say they had bad luck. Not a Titans fan, but they have a legitimate excuse right now. Trying to replace Henry with AP? LOL, hell just bring Eddie George back while you are at it.

I do not know who was trying to "Get Theirs" more last night, Brooks or Allen. Maybe PASS the ball guys, you DO NOT have to shoot it EVERYTIME you get it. Brooks is not passing it out, number of defenders on him be damned. A little shocked at Grady's "slump", but keep shooting young fella, maybe take better shots though. Weird game last night, Wheeler had like 7 points and 5 dimes in the first 7/8 minutes, NATHAN after.

Say what you want about schedule and sub. patterns, but this schedule is EXACTLY what this team needed. Learning a lot about the guys he has, what they can and can't do for extended periods of time. It will only help us later in the year, and when we get everyone healthy.

Beat the absolute soul out of our rival, likely took their hometown playmaker, picked up some additional national shine on our portly head coach and program, gave everyone raises and agreed to upgrade facilities.

Friday night at Ruby's I'm sure will be a scene.

Enjoy the mediocrity!
 
Nathan-Burns-44 is my Venmo- Just remember our bet is he wouldn’t be our coach to start the 2022 season pal. I think you’re 99% going to win though. I’m happy that’s the case.
