UK's "One and Done" Referenced on CNN Syria Missle Coverage

My son went to Rice and when JFK promised a moon landing during the 1960s he made the speech at Rice and referenced Rice (and UT-Austin) in the speech.

How does this compare to that?
 
I agree it was a strange place for this type of reference, we were watching it live and my wife was like "what did he just say?"

Weird Kentucky Basketball Reference Made On CNN Last Night

Kentucky basketball was in the news last night, but it had nothing to do with the program.

Since John Calipari took over the Wildcats, Kentucky has been dominated by one-and-done athletes. Just this past year alone, De’Aaron Fox, Malik Monk, and Bam Adebayo signed to play at Kentucky. All three became major leaders on the team, and now after just on year, are headed to the NBA. A 30 For 30 is even in the works at ESPN on Calipari and his one-and-done policy.

What do Kentucky basketball and airstrikes in Syria have in common? The obvious answer is nothing. Don’t tell that to retired Major General James Marks, who compared Kentucky’s penchant for one-and-done basketball stars to the United States’ foreign policy initiatives.

No, really.

Major General James “Spider” Marks explained that the U.S. used 50-60 Tomahawk cruise missiles in an airstrike on Syria. He went on to state that this was just the beginning of the attacks, and was not like Kentucky basketball, “one-and-done.

We’re sure there is a better analogy out there, but hey, we’re not the military strategists.

Meanwhile, Kentucky has three of the top 14 recruits in the 2017 class. It doesn’t look like the one-and-done policy is leaving Kentucky any time soon.

Horrible and misplaced analogy comparing an act of war to Kentucky basketball. No wonder I never turn on CNN news any more.
 
General Marks is a perpetrator of fake new, a Virginia grad and an ACC apologist. Gotcha.

that play in your sig was after allen returned from suspension, and was pretty much ignored in the media, correct?

he kicked a guy screening him in the nuts in there at some point, too, and greenberg demonstrated in the studio how it was totally unintentional
