Yeah I'm sure the guy doing the pregame call in show hated UK. /rolleyes

But he does suck.

Lotta nonsense in this video, but I loved watching the game from this perspective. Starts at 2:30. I imagine there are copyright issues, but would be super cool if Steven Peake was getting video like this instead of just filming fans and random curiosities around the arena.



Youtube rabbit holes, man.

Whatever a 12 year old AW thought of Rex was tinted by youth and ignorance. I do hate that he wasted his wealth and had his drug issues. However all he ever does is run down his time in Lexington yet he now uses it for his benefit so he can go eff himself.
 
Is pti putting ALL college games against NBA games? If so then obviously, because no one is watching Mississippi valley state vs cal state Fullerton. But I’d bet most Kentucky games are way closer to the average NBA game than you’d think.

This is the #1 and #2 draft pick saying you’re wrong. 48:25 mark.


Ehhh... that's a lot easier to say when you've already made between $95M (Cousins) and $275M (Wall) in salary alone.

If I remember correctly Cousins has also said he would've gone to an HBC if he had it to do all over again. A lot of things get said after the fact.
 
Friday Random Drop:

- I love listening to Billy Packer's fake "ohhh" when Mills made that 3 against Duke in '98. Packer was absolutely miserable during the last 8:00 of that game and the Mills and Padgett shots were the final kill shots to the dome. Love it!

- I think Reed's draft stock is a little overblown right now. I don't know the last 6'1 white 4* point guard to get drafted so his stock is probably higher than it's ever been right now. How many of those are even in the league right now? DeVincenzo?

I'm going to pump the brakes until after the season. If these NBA GMs continue to hype him up in May, I'll get worried. And of course if he's projected anywhere near the 1st round, he will go . . . and should. I can't imagine his stock getting any higher than it is right now.

- It's March. By my count, we had 11 days in February where the weather was too good (55+ and sunny, or thereabouts). Yesterday sucked and I got soaked, spilled coffee all over me as I ran into school without an umbrella. So, there will be 10 days of absolute suckass weather we'll have to deal with between now and Derby Day. February tax. It may be state law, I don't know.

- Maybe I'm a jerk, but I don't flash my lights at passing motorists when I see a cop car staked out in a median to catch speeders. It's way more likely that Kyle and Susan (cruising 90 MPHs in their galaxy cream colored Chevy Tahoe), are insufferable assholes than it is that the state trooper is. He's just doing his job. Kyle-Susan are recklessly trying to get Paisley to dance practice before 6:00. F, Kyle and Susan.

- After careful consideration, give me Shout over Spray and Wash.

- Irrational fears:

a. The garage door going guillotine on me when I walk out before it has gone all the way up.
b. Riding in a car with the windows down and seeing some dude mowing his yard and the grass chute is pointing my way. I flinch everytime knowing a rock or something is going to come flying into my eye/head.
c. Bigfoot

- Well, happy March. Who knows what in the hell is going to happen. I don't And if anyone tells you they do, they're lying. Enjoy the ride and hope for the best. We're all in this together!
 
If Austin Reaves can make it, Reed Sheppard is fine!

It goes both ways. If he is projected so high then he won’t have fallen off which is great IMO so bring on the great.

Seeing another Sheppard will us to anything meaningful is just fine by me. I’ll worry about June when it gets here.

Flashing lights, do it all the time but rarely see anyone pumping the brakes, so-to-speak, so they are either oblivious, in their own world, on phone or they have no idea what that means anymore, or some just use Waze, even for short rides, and see him already.

Need story on viral UK fb fight. Context is everything.

Derby prep races... Have a nice weekend.
 
If Rupp were an NBA arena. It would lead the NBA in attendance yearly. Not one NBA venue gets 20K.

Obviously only 20 games vs 40, but I’d argue that a random Saturday UK game gets more a of TV share than any NBA game does that same day.

Then look at the regional numbers for March Madness compared to the NBA finals.

In the state of Ky, and maybe exclusively Ky, a star player could come back, and make as much money as a returning starter through NIL, as would any NBA rookie outside of possibly a top 3 pick.

Specially with the new NBA rules regarding protections of 2nd and 3rd year players.

Shorts:

- Few bigger bitch moves in sports branding than the 90s/00s trend of switching jersey colors from gold to old gold.

- Always find artwork heists and valuations stories and documentaries interesting.

- Perhaps my biggest self-destructive trait is my inability to go a month without biting the hell out of my cheek while eating.

- There’s a bizarre hatred out there of CM Newton by a certain segment of BBN but how ahead of its time was the Mumme hire? Not only getting in early on that offense but also reaching down a level to hire. Didn’t end well but I’ll always think back fondly on that era.

- Wellness journalism can truly get F’d. Every day something those pricks told me was healthy they want to throw in my face, “So you think salmon is healthy? Actually, you dumb bitch, it isn’t healthy at all and it will kill you.” WTF m

- The further we get away from it, the clearer it becomes to me that John Deere Green is the greatest country song of the 90s.

- My transformation is a tad bewildering and even sad to me, while at the same time satisfying. Anyway, I’m truly excited about our new dining room table we found at the Pottery Barn outlet. Still can’t believe it. What a discovery. $2500 table for $1000. a

- I don’t know if it bothered him or not but the sportswriters and broadcaster didn’t always need to describe Jamal Mashburn as the “gap-toothed young man from the Bronx.” Completely unnecessary and rude.

- I’ve got that old-fashioned feeling of anxiety and excitement and hope coursing through my veins. I need a big tournament run. I can almost taste it. I need a huge Robby D heater on a Thursday night in the Sweet 16. I need Cal redemption. I need Reeves’ floaters devastating teams. I need Big Z pulling Clingan and/or Edey out to the perimeter. I need Shep to reach that Macy/Givens/Beard/Hatton level. I need to christen my first UK den with a March run. I f’ing need it.
 
Took my son to a sushi joint for a Lenten dinner, where it was delivered via Lionel train. He went on to enjoy red clam, eel, urchin… dude has a palate for a 10yo. Then continued home…Threw on DJ Skratch Bastid diggin through soul classics on the YT for tunes as a backdrop to a solo exploration of this Beastmaster’s pick of 1991 Armagnac. (L‘Encadata Domaine Lasalle) and various Sake.

Shep story on CBS hits. Can’t imagine what Jeff feels as a dad. I think Reed comes back next year. I think he plays the game at his pace and may take his time to enjoy this chapter of life because it is so personal to be at UK, as opposed to his contemporaries who came here with one foot out the door.
 
I don’t have a clue what players elsewhere are really really good that could come back next year, but if Reed returns for a Sophomore season is he the best player in college next year?

LOL...you may want to take a timeout and come back at the under 4 mark with something strong.

Sure, Levis style.

Good grief, the kid is good, but has a lot to work on and can't guard molasses. Give the hyperbole a rest.
 
I think Reed Sheppard has turned a lot of you into teenage boys again.

It reminds me of when I was a freshman at UK, 92-93, and I had this really well thought out email (which was a brand new thing) ready to fire of to my fellow alumni Jamal Mashburn extolling the many reasons that he should return for his Senior year. Among them was the chance to enjoy being a college student for one more year and an opportunity to win a championship. Luckily I realized how stupid it made me come off and I deleted it. Jamal didn’t give a shit about any of that and neither does Reed. I’m not saying he won’t come back but it sure as shit won’t be because of his love for the Bluegrass State or the change to build a legacy taut will help him down the road.

I love the guys that are too cool and super smart and mature that are surprised UK fans are really excited about Reed Sheppard being one of the legitimately best players in the country as a freshman and discussing if he’ll come back and why. I mean jeez, how crazy 🙄

Who is set to return and be better? Maybe try to partake in the conversation instead of acting like some know it all talking down to someone but actually saying nothing, honestly.

I really don’t care if you think you know more than me or anyone, how about share the players you think will be better. I kind of hinted I couldn’t think of anyone that is set to come back.

The Isiah Collier’s of the world are all going pro, who else? Ingram from your Tarheels is going pro. Who else?

—-Ok I checked rosters and this is the best list I got but I like my original point still:

Clingan, but he loses everything else on his team

KJ Adams, also loses everything else on his team as McCullar goes pro

Flipowski, possibly best argument but I think he goes pro

Cadeau, admittedly this is a reach just to include a UNC player because I understand the hype machine
