If Stoops is here Marrow will be too, period, any other rumor or idea is just based on dumb at this point.

Losing a 4* RB is never idea but it isn’t like Wilcox isn’t going to be the main back, and RB is not the position I worry about in Stoops system at all.

The doom and gloomers are out in full force and facing adversity is not their strength.

 

[creeksman]

I don't think Stoops makes great running backs. I think Benny and CRod made him.

The only thing he's been legitimately good at is bleeding the clock with those two guys if he stumbled upon an early lead.

 

[anthonys735]

That's not Ruby's.

 

[krazykats]

Smoke, Kemp, Boom Williams, and Rose are all running backs who did well under Stoops besides Benny and CRod.

 

[80 Proof]

Alright @80 Proof i know you know something spill it

You think Wilcox is coming back?

 

[Kooky Kats]

Don’t know, but dude was half-assed in his preparation regardless of his inherent talent… which is symptomatic of most of the shitheads on the roster.

Controversial, yet correct, takes:

1. There is a threshold for Turkey being good or just dry / tasteless, but once you get above that it’s marginal in terms of how good it can be. So you can smoke it, fry it, spatchcock it or whatever, but on a plate with all the Thanksgiving sides and gravy, well, who cares?
2. Of all the things to give a shit about regarding our dumpster fire of a football season, a guy who didn’t dress going to the concession stand is ranked dead last for me. Now if he was picking up Bud Lights for the team then maybe I can see the concern, but that’s not what happened.
3. Biden did the right thing in pardoning his son.
4. Despite people saying there is no way that Stoops would walk away from $40M, he sure as hell doesn’t want to be in a situation where his team goes 2-10 and everyone in Lexington hates his guts. I think he’s positioning himself for a buyout and it will come soon.

I do enjoy that coaches contracts are basically squatters rights at this point and the university is completely helpless and held hostage. It’s comically insane that someone would negotiate themselves into that situation.

-Game tomorrow is going to be tough. They have as many seniors as we do and are 18th in the NET rankings. They're probably playing for a top 25 ranking; went to the Elite 8 last year. Their loss to Boise isn't as bad as it looks on the surface (they're 38th in the NET).

-According to ESPN analytics, we have the toughest remaining schedule in the country.

-Kasean Pryor out for the year.

-Rumors of drug use (fent pen) in the football locker room and BVG was in on it.

-There's a lot of football things happening this morning in the athletic department and it doesn't sound good. I wonder if they're considering firing Stoops or negotiating a buyout.

Pilgrim posted last night that "the wheels are turning".

This is what I think, too. Everything he has said, IMO, is for leverage purposes. Now whether Mitch has the wherewithal who knows.

I love Indian food HOWEVER THAT BEING SAID one of my life’s biggest mistakes, and there have been more than a few, was one weekend I went to the Ohio State/Michigan game in Columbus with some friends of mine from UM. We had a fine time. Found a nice local bar that let us tailgate there until the bar ran out of Busch Light tall boys, then went to the game in the upper upper upper corner of the end zone Michigan allotted seats where we share bottles of spirits. Ohio State (surprise!) lost the game and we made our way out of the stadium and were hungry. We wisely decided to avoid any of the normal bar/fast food places near campus and wandered a little ways off until we found a nice Indian restaraunt that was open and fairly empty. We were immediately seated and descended onto a feast of spicy Indian dishes, a veritable culinary tour of the sub continent. As we made our way back to the bar we realized what an awful, awful mistake we made. Actual food poisoning would have been in some ways preferable to the horrors we experienced that night and next day.

 

[ukwizard]

I have no doubt that the Cats are walking into an SEC West atmosphere tomorrow night. Buckle up.

 

[jayroon]

Big Mouth Vince has gone silent so hopefully he's nervous.

 

[krazykats]

You think Wilcox is coming back?

I dont have any info, but as a fan looking from the outside I dont see why not.

He is RB1 at the moment and we just lost a real threat to his playing time. Not sure what else he’d want regardless of coaching change or not.

 

[legalbeagle123]

-Rumors of drug use (fent pen) in the football locker room and BVG was in on it.

That has a "lack of control" or "for cause" ring to it.

 

[jayroon]

That has a "lack of control" or "for cause" ring to it.

You'd think that combined with the probation issue and god knows what else Mitch knows would be enough.

 

[catlanta33]

What maniac invented a fent pen? JFC and people are using something like that?

3. Biden did the right thing in pardoning his son.

1. No. It can be really good if brined/cooked correctly, and is worth it. It doesn't take a lot of effort to up the game.
2. No. This isn't Little League where the kid leaves the dugout and goes to the concession stand. There is a standard and a set of values to keep, and this is just another notch in the belt of Stoops that epitomizes his complete lack of discipline on and off the field for himself and the players.
3. You swung and missed.

0-3.

 

[gattongrad09]

Posting our starting QB was on fentanyl is quite the claim. Reminds me of fonder times debating whether Bud Mackey was an acceptable starting guard upon parole.

 

[jayroon]

-Brad White to UCF as HC is a possibility and Vince to a MAC school as HC.

-BVG considering quitting football.

-Ferentz possibly retiring.

-Someone said Stoops' chance of returning went from 99% to 80%

-Schedule next year has 3-9 written all over it.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Marrow would be a disaster as a head coach. I feel pretty comfortable saying that.

 

[CSC81]

At this point I’m convinced roon is on both the football and basketball staff.

 

[TriangleUKCat]

I thought roon was Maggard?

 

[WayneDougan]

If BVG doing fentanyl in the locker room gets Stoops fired then Brady should give BVG the biggest NIL deal in history.

 

[CAT Scratch FVR]

Does a MAC school have more money to pay him than we pay him now? Not so sure. I'm not sure there is a MAC school that runs a football profit.

Vanderbeek going from church going, home schooling, backup to meth loving Marinovich? Totally see it.

Basketball season.

He should not have called the show. He is bumbling all the f*** over his words. 🤦🏻‍♂️

This is embarrassing.

 

[gattongrad09]

^ yeah, that's a guy who is shook.

 

[anthonys735]

I just sent that same text. He's typically cool and calm. Sounds terrible.

 

[WayneDougan]

3. You swung and missed.

If I were an 81 year old president and my own party pushed me out I’d pardon 95% of the people on this message board for what Hunter did. Not you though; you’d be drone striked. 😉

 

[krazykats]

-Ferentz possibly retiring.

I’ve been saying this for months as a “should be” possibility.

Seriously the dude is 69 years old and 30 years at Iowa. Time to hang it up!

 

[rudd1]

-fentanyl would explain the product on the field this year.

 

[Hank Camacho]

Drone strike is quick. We still got CIA black site extrajudicial prisons -- er, holding facilities?

Highest paid MAC coach makes a little over a million so would be a slight pay decrease but would get him started as a HC

 

[DoubleSecretProbation]

Yeah, got no problem with the pardon. Wtf good is it to be president if you can’t pardon your own son?

 

[HymanKaplan]

What maniac invented a fent pen? JFC and people are using something like that?

That problem will "self solve" with a quickness.

 

[CSC81]

That whole call/conversation was so fake and awkward.

He’s an Ole Miss Rebel

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Yeah, pretty sure we are WAY past hand-wringing over this sort of thing. The old “rules” are no longer applicable.
