Absolutely correct. Notre Dame is 3-4 and the talent on the rosters is not even close.

My favorite tube plot is "Help! I'm stuck in the dryer/couch!". Cracks me up.
Oh, and if you’ve been paying attention Cal has hinted at these stupid ass lineups
several times over the past few weeks. He’s even made passive aggressive comments towards the need to go smaller to feature the 3 point.
It’s as if he stubbornly wants to tell the fans out of spite that…“You’ll see, we will win my way. And we’re going to go big, feature Brooks and or Toppin at the 3, and play Collins & Oscar together. We will not play highlighting a system around skill and shooting.”
I don’t about the rest of you but he’s on a short leash with me after last year, the crap start to the 2019-2020 season where he didn’t start Quickley for 1/2 of the year, and the unacceptable loss in the 2019 Elite 8 to a hobbled Auburn team we handled twice in the regular season.
I have no time for his bullshit now where he’s lecturing fans, and other crap.
Win big and do it now. Once you get back to Final Fours and hanging banners then you can start your antics again but until then STFU and win.

Rackity-RACK to the rafters.
There's a lot of factors that have gotten us here, but here we are nonetheless, and I can only hope Cal knows it.
I was at a HS girls basketball game last night and missed the UK game. Didn’t really give it much of a thought. Checked the score before I headed home and my reaction was an aggressive meh. Got mad at the wife when she turned on the replay later that evening.
UK basketball- it’s fine, really

This is hilarious. I know nothing about this girl but I imagine Vince wants to put her on the Bianca Blair path.
I know if I found someone stuck in a couch/dryer I would sure as hell rape them real quick before I helped them out!
Daughter's school production was last night. Greater's after (black raspberry chocolate chip ftw). Nice evening tbh.
Got a few texts during the show from the snarky bitches (on my apple watch) updating me on the game.
Imagine going to this game in person
:sigh:
Allen should probably transfer to Northern at the Christmas break.
Just stay with in striking distance and hey maybe we'll have a chance to steal this one at the end!!
Just hang on guys!!
F***** losers
Get home and check the final score. Go to bed.

I want to agree that changes in life priorities, pandemic, etc the last couple of years is the major factor in the apathy toward UK basketball- and it makes a lot of sense, but i'm still pot-committed to the football program and enjoy watching other teams i'm a fan of... I just seem to care less and less every time I watch UK play basketball. So I think my reality is once we realized our coach was a stubborn d-bag a few seasons back- my opinion of him and the program has been pretty minimal.
If there were flashes of promise along the way, maybe I couldve somehow thought it would be worth the emotional investment- but you have to give us something. On the court. Recruiting is whatever. I'm glad guys still want to come play here. But win something. Or at least dont lose everything.
I dont know. Whatever.

I will not entertain any smack about Graeter's, especially Black Raspberry Chip. Them's fighting words.
GRAETER'S TOP FIVE:
1. Mocha Chocolate Chip
2. Black Raspberry Chip
3. Buckeye Blitz
4. S'mores
5. Brown Butter Bourbon Pecan

College basketball as a sport really sucks overall. It’s downright embarrassing far too often. We talk about Cal like he’s a dinosaur, but he’s coaching the same defense-and-rebounding boring ass style as a lot of other Hall of Famers.
1) rule changes to allow more free flowing offense
2) true home and road matchups and limit made-for-tv neutral site games
Make all the difference in the world imho.

My kids were watching Frozen 2 and then the game came on so we switched to that over their tears. I watched and enjoyed the game, I really like Oscar and our guards and think we should have a pretty solid year. I don’t really know what you guys are bitching about but if you guys don’t like Kentucky bball anymore that’s cool I guess.
In my unicorn and rainbows world, go back and copy college basketball in the 90's. Bald heads, baggy shorts, helter skelter full court press, 3's signs everywhere, big time home and away games, players sticking around for a few seasons. We lived, ate and breathed KY/college basketball.
Is Shaedon Sharpe eligible once the semester ends? If so that's next Friday.
Not sure. It’ll be interesting to watch him sit on the bench in $1200 street clothes tho.
Yall are depressing. I still care very much about UK Basketball even if I try for my own health not to let it affect me as much as it used to. Dumb turnovers and lack of defense piss me off more than anything we do on offense. We managed to put up 14 first half 3's and still looked bad doing it. Most of the team looked like zombies especially Brooks. Mintz and Oscar were really the only ones that looked interested.
Having gone the way of porn plots, you won't hear a porn soundtrack like this work of art.
A masteriece
Being rumored/reported that Zion Williamson weighs a cool 330 right now. Big, if true.
Mintz was 2-9 overall, 2-7 from three, missed two of his five FTA’s, had one assist and two turnovers, and played very little D. Hopefully he’s less interested going forward.
I love Mintz hunting shots. Not only that, he's constantly attacking, probing, & putting pressure on the Defense, and just generally trying to make scoring plays. He's a streak guy, that's who he is...but love the way he plays overall.
It would be nice if Grady adopted a similar mindset, rather than waiting for the handful of times each game he gets left WIDE OPEN enough for him to want to pull the trigger. He's never been a purely catch & shoot player his entire 2K point scoring career, not sure why he's limited his arsenal to that here.
Lots of worse things than a missed shot when you have the best Rebounder in the damn country waiting down there -- sure beats the shit out of a turnover or offensive foul, which is what typically happens on our forced post and other bullshit sets.

Working from home this afternoon playing ESPN in the background. RGIII is now an analyst and seemingly likable dude (as much as you can be in the "hot-take" format).
A 30for30 about him and Andrew Luck would be interesting to see. Those guys were the future, and in an instant, they weren't.

Was in law school at UK at the time and went to that game with a UNC fan. She was a cool girl so I overlooked that aspect of her personality. That and the Maryland game in 98-99 was as loud as I’ve ever heard Rupp.
Cookie Dough Chocolate Chip and Coconut Chocolate Chip would like a word…
- Love how you guys act like UK basketball is such a unique target of your perpetual redass. You’re never overly negative melodramatic a-holes about anything but UK basketball.
Maybe you’re the problem. Same guys were fine with Stoops moving along a few weeks ago. Same guys are constantly bitching and moaning about everything in here every day. Same guys bringing up politics and cultural BS.
At some point it became fashionable in here to be a snarky bitch and it’s gotten tired. Real tired. F off.
- I’m enjoying this team. Have some lineup issues but these types of games/stretches allow that. You’re not going to bring your A-game in them all. We’ll see what happens in big games.
- College basketball is weird because the early season means very little in the grand scheme and that’s combined with rosters that are constantly on the turnover making these early season games even sloppier.
But I still love it. It’s better than “Selling Sunset” on Netflix to me.

My problem isn't so much with Cal/UK (although I despise his lineups and scheduling philosophy) but with college basketball as a whole. As short as 4-5 years ago, I would watch whatever doubleheader was on ESPN every night when I got home from work. Now, I bet I haven't watched a non-UK or non-NCAA tourney game in 3-4 years. College basketball is tough to watch:
- 2hr to 2:15 min games (closer to 2:30 for tourney games)
- Endless timeouts
- Implementation of reviews
- Horrific officiating
- Significant roster turnover every year
- Games that end in 60's or low 70's
It's tough to sit down and watch 30 or so of these in a de-valued regular season.

College Basketball will never return to what it was -- mostly b/c of the One & Done, and now the Portal as well.
We were all defensive of that early on, b/c our guy was the best and first....but, now it's just everywhere. Nobody gets to know any of the players really...and if they do, it's only b/c they are garbage. And the best players are only in college for a Season or two max, with only a few exceptions.

Consensus First Team
2020 1st Team AA:
It really is as simple as that, imo. No amount of rules changes, improved officiating, TV coverage, etc, etc, etc, is going to change the obvious.
I still worship, especially come Feb & March when it gets really real. But certainly not to the overall level that I used to...or even close.
Guess my point is that If you compare it to the 90s or use that as the barometer.... well, you'll probably never truly love it again.

Amazing thread and more amazing rescue. Unfortunately the passenger was deceased upon rescue. Still just an amazing video and thread read. My faith in humanity is always restored.
