Mitch to the Big Ten commish would be pretty dope, actually.
Vern, alot of us are sports depressed right now. F’n 7-6 with the expectations. Now the basketball team was supposed to be our salvation and it’s even more misery.
He tried to draw up a play three times and couldn’t get it drawn up the way he wanted. He just seems scattered right now. It’s odd.
Hang in there. UK basketball will be back and this will just be a miserable blip on the radar.

At some point, Eli is to blame too. To let this keep festering for what appears to be years now is on him as well.
Is that the little floppy haired walk on from a few years ago who looked more like a Disney channel character than ball player?From Tucker’s latest mailbag:
“My understanding is that right now, assistant video director Andrew Ortelli and graduate assistant Riley Welch are doing most of the actual scouting work.)”
I’m angrier at Barnhart than Cal, right this second after reading it. The things in there are damning.
So we have 4 very high paid assistants and they do none of the scouting?
The fan-funded NIL concept just won't work here. It won't work.
UK has spent the last 5-8 years telling the average fan that they simply don't matter. They've chosen to base their decision making and invest in the experiences for the people that do matter to them (tv partners, corporate partners, media, donors, coaches, etc) and the average fan simply doesn’t factor into that equation. UK has basically said “You’re not a priority for us but we should be a priority for you”.
Now, those same average fans that have been dismissed for the last decade are being guilted in to giving $300/year MINIMUM (basically, the same amount as a non K-Fund season ticket) to some nebulous "non-profit" designed to funnel money to athletes for fake "NIL" opportunities. It's beyond absurd.
Maybe this concept does work at schools with better relationships with their fanbases but that ain't us. The blaming and guilting of the fans for rightly being unwilling to make a completely irrational financial decision is trash... and the people doing it should be called out.

Riley Welch was straight up coaching one of the players with a laptop in front of them, showing video. I want to say it was Oscar, but I can't remember exactly who.
I bet Riley Welch would play Livingston at the 4.
Well you work hard 6 months of the year, and it's been almost 2 weeks since your 1 month Xmas break, so I would say you deserve a day off.
I think that on top of the not so subtle shift to catering to fans who can afford premium tickets (alcohol sales being the most obvious example), scheduling more high profile games at destination venues most fans can’t afford to get to, etc. have added to the disconnect between program and fans. This isn’t a pro sports market. It’s a different fan dynamic and that’s being lost.
GD right! I landscape during the summer too, ho, so lick my balls.
Al Roker cosplay.
Congrats again on the warm temps!
PICNIC TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PICNIC TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UKO, big time Kentucky football fans like you and me are PUMPED about Coen's return being official, right?
Let's focus on the good times, big dog.

And I ain't even got a garage, you can call home and ask my wife.
-Tucker's mailbag was great.
-Mitch, for all he's done, is really looking at a tough spot. Self inflicted too. The heat is going to move to him more and more. With the KSR stuff, alcohol sales, NIL and Cal he's in a bad bad spot. Not to mention the major sports have all had disasterous years. We can't get rid of Cal, he's obviously not leaving, but would Mitch's scalp give the fan base enough flesh? New assistants aren't going to be enough. Probably what it's going to come down to Mitch vs Cal. Can't imagine there's no resolution if we miss the tourney.
-Been working on a project basically nonstop the last 5 days. Bleh.
-If this shit don't make you give a little wonder about who's behind the scenes pull the strings and conspiracies, I don't know what would. Flip/Flop story lines every 30 days. Hard to keep up with which side supports what.
-Prime filet and lobster tails for WS's bday. I'm a top notch husband.
-If you really called in because we lost to USC, lol, you're a pussy. I told Bean before the game I didn't feel confident. The writing for this shit has been on the wall for 3 months now. When they didn't come out and BLAST MSU after that embarrassment last season, you knew this was f*cked. I wasn't surprised at all Tuesday. Grow up. I was pissed but got up at 5a(on 5 hours sleep) for a leg day workout, got the kid off to school, crushed work, drove in rush hour to coach a baseball preseason practice in Nicholasville, cooked dinner for the family, tucked the boys in, did the dishes and had a cocktail with the neighbor, in bed by 10p. Rinse repeat.

Christ, we let the Eye-talians into Nicholasville? This town is going to hell.
Cal wanted to publicly apologize for the basketball school comment, Mitch said no.
Cal raised $30 million for a new practice facility, Barnhart said no.
Cal asked for money for an assistant to help run the offense, Mitch said no.
They don't speak.
In unrelated misery, Derek Carr said his goodbye to Raiders fans today. If his backup going for 34 points and losing to SF isn't proof that the defense (and head coach) are the issue, I don't know what will. Suffice it to say...
WHO DEY?
WHO DEY?
It was Oscar against BAMA. He had already been pulled because of his weak PnR defense. Then reinserted to give Collins a break and on his first play got dunked on again.
I assume he was being shown where to be and not to let the screener get below him to the rim, but he just can’t help it.
Can he raise $30m towards his buyout.
So the team and the fans are suffering because mom and dad are mad at each other? Both those clowns need to GTFO and never come back.
