Tony…in the words of our very close internet friend, Strokin’, whom I’ve never actually met, but whatever…

Not happening, but lol. Kid is so beloved by ALL, never seen anything like it, really.



Imagine posting this six months ago, lol. Even Billy Joe Wildcat wouldn't have been so bold. Still can't get over how damn good he truly is.

If he comes back to school, cole854 should have to shove an '89 Billy Ripken Fleer f-face card up his ass.
 
I don’t know that anyone could ever overtake Mashburn for me personally, but Reed/Perry could overcome Pel, Feldhaus, Farmer for sure.

I still think this team will win it all. When it’s mattered they play defense good enough.

I still know the flaws and how the ball can bounce but the more Cal depends on Reed the more the other players have grown confidence in him too and he has just taken the team leader role to the next level.

I wish like hell I could enjoy games live because this team is worth following all over the US and it’s going to be a special March.
 
-I think I was on record saying this team was not going 4-0 the last 4. Love being wrong there.

- With that said, wow, I am starting to believe an SEC title and FF is possible.

- If only we knew Cal would get out of the way and let the best players run.

- Arizona screwed me out of a big parlay this weekend, and I think our bigs will run EDEY straight to the locker room. He will hurt us too, but gonna take a lot of effort from him to keep up with Z and Bradshaw.

- With that said, yes we can lose to anybody, but the only teams that really worry me are Houston and Uconn.

- Is Goose Givens awful on the radio, or is that just me?

- I think Reed and family know another year of college ball will help prepare him for NBA. Quick NBA point guards will cause him a lot of trouble. And being a top pick of a crappy NBA team will have a lot of pressure he won't have to deal with if he stays at UK.

* Gotta love having UKO posting on this thread.

The day a major publication picks Reed Sheppard as the #1 overall pick, he chimes in with.....

"Well, if he doesn't slip and this information holds and the kid goes somewhere between 8 and 15, then yeah, he's definitely going pro!"

lol

(can shoot when open)

* Reds chatter.....

- Frankie Montas named Opening Day Starter. That's a surprise. Really thought Hunter Greene was ready to establish himself as The Leader of this staff.
- Noelvi Marte = silver lining is the Reds get another year of service time out of him, so they essentially just traded his age 22 season for his age 28 (prime) season.
- Nick Martinez was throwing a perfect game on Friday against the Dodgers before the game was called due to weather. I'm really excited about this guy.

* Our "Nuclear Lineup" is just anything with Reed, Rob, and Reeves. The other 2 spots are interchangeable.

* Nothing but respect for Blue Ball Dalton Knecht. That guy is fun as hell to watch.

* How much money do you think the #1 overall pick can make signing autographs and posing for selfies next year? Probably a lot.

* LIQUID DEATH is now worth $1.4 billion, lol. What a stupidly brilliant company.

* Never read a single Erik Larson book. How much am I missing out?

* Baseball fantasy keepers = $14 (Julio Rodriguez), $4 (Elly de la Cruz), $4 (Cody Bellinger).

* Gotta add Comic-con to my Bucket List, I guess. The pics are just amazing.
 
Looking at the hot off the presses AP top 25.

I believe Houston, Uconn, and Purdue are locks for 1 seeds no matter what they do in their tournaments.
If UNC, Arizona, or Tenn win their tournaments, they are the other 1 seed. Probably AZ because the committee will want a natural west coast team out west.
UNC if UNC and Tenn both win, and AZ loses.

Rest of top ten has Iowa St, Creighton, UK, and Marquette.

Creighton and Marquette cant both win the Big East. And I believe Uconn wins that anyway.
Iowa St winning the Big 12 definitely gets them a 2 seed. Does it take AZ's, UNC's or Tenn's 1 seed if they don't win their tournaments?

To make a long story short, I think if UK wins the SEC, a 2 seed is not out of the question. And that would be pretty damn impressive when a month ago there was a lot of concerns for this team.
 
@PTI (pti), how have you slept on The Devil in the White City? H.H. Holmes is one of the all time weirdest American serial killers, which...is saying something. Dead Wake, about the Lusitania, is also phenomenal. The Titanic gets all the pub, but the Lusitania disaster and the interplay with WWI are far more intriguing, imo. The Titanic is purely about hubris; the Lusitania has wayyyy more wild human factors at play. Def recommend.

The committee doesn't consider our title game on Sunday. Brackets are more or less set by then. Win first 2 games and we are a 3. I think it would take a lot of madness and early exits in their tourneys for us to move up to a 2. (Unc Wilmington) holding us back. Not saying it can't but the fact they don't even consider our tourney championship is bs.

Remember 2011 we won beating Florida and the s- curve had us as a 2 but they already had us inked as a 4. Before and after the Win.
 
Randos :

~ Anth talking about UFC reminded me that this weekend's card and UFC 300 have the potential to be the best back to back cards they've ever had. Hope the fights hold up for 300. Poirier sleeping BSD was not on my bingo card but apparently he was loaded up on antibiotics all week due to staph. DDP still that dude though.

~ Both of my kids slept in this morning after going to bed at the equivalent of 8:30 last night. They'll figure it out and the extra hour of sunlight is definitely worth it.

~ I'm all for ra-ra'ing our other sports outside of Football/Basketball but it better not interfere with those two programs. If Mitchell wants to come back and dance during BBM at about 60% of the salary, I'm all for it.

~ Unless Reed just absolutely does not want to go to the NBA yet, it would be extremely hypocritical of us to want him to come back if he's top 8 (as most boards indicate). We shit on UNC/Duke for pulling this kind of shit all the time and it usually costs the kid.

~ Now, if the guy just loves it here and wants to be the guy at this level, more power to him.

~ Red Fang/Baroness in May, Bonnaroo in June and about 10 more concerts I'm wanting to go to throughout the summer. Going to be a blast. Speaking of, my son is starting to enjoy music similar to what I like (which is a relief because all of his buddies listen to anime music) so I think it's finally time to get him to his first show. He has requested Clown Core whenever they tour again. I've never been prouder.

Pre-NIL. So your self-loathing point on Shep is bunk.

Yea I agree with that. We have definitely been screwed by that Sunday final before.

But let’s say Az, UNC and Tenn end up with that last 1 seed and two 2 seeds. That still leaves two more 2 seeds. Just looking at the final regular season poll, if UK wins the sec, puts us at 10-1 our last 11 games, who the heck deserves a 2 seed more than UK? If Iowa St wins big 12, no worse than 2 seed for them. Still need one more 2 seed out of Creighton, Marquette, Duke, Illinois?

Do any of those teams have a better resume than UK? Even if they win their tournaments?
Selection Sunday gonna be interesting again. LOL

Nobody’s making $5 million a year to play at UK.
I could see it happening. Under the right circumstances, Reed Sheppard could be the perfect storm (Kentucky kid, projected lottery pick, leads us to the NC game but comes up just short) to make that happen.
