That is bush league. It's Kansas and Missouri! 3PM on Saturday and you push that game on broadcasts the week before.

How many great rivalry games are you getting that early in the season?

The problem is not that we aren't doing quite well financially, thank you, under Hunter. Attempts to frame it in such a manner are going to get laughed off the board. We're a model for a smaller state to have a profitable athletic department.

The problem is that while we are making money hand over fist (despite a fairly aggressive building program) we have been unable to translate that into on the field (or court) success. We are very competitive in a variety of secondary and tertiary sports, but that hasn't translated into titles outside of track.

We are in the position of being good at just about everything (other than football sadly) while not being great at anything. Always the bridesmaid and never the bride.

I assure folks, I am way too lazy to pretend to be someone different than who I am.

Conversely, I think we’re legitimately not a good baseball team all the way around.

I'm not sure this team can turn the corner. It is not like we have a strong point to hang our hat on this season.

I didn’t know sategna was first team all sec this year at Oklahoma. Just another example of the talent level we’ve had here over the years that’s been absolutely wasted.

We have squandered a lot to be honest.

To be fair, we hired Pittman to do an emergency rebuild, which he pulled off, and kept him too long. We needed some new blood in the program.

Whether Silverfield is the guy long term we will see. Particularly with another "oh f*ck me" schedule coming up. But we need some fresh eyes on the program at this point.

I hope so. They've made it this far and it would be great to go further.

Houston, Texas, and Arkansas are still alive in the tournament, last holdouts of the wild and cantankerous SWC.

Houston is favored but Texas and Arkansas are pretty heavy dogs going into this weekend. I mean, let's be honest, it's been a great season for the Horns and Hogs already. We're still standing. A lot of great teams are watching from home right now.

The odds are not so hotso for us, but man it would be great to see the Horns and the Hogs fighting for a spot in the Final 4 this year.

Sometimes a coach just hits his sell by date at a school and I think Cal hit his at Kentucky. Both sides were happy to cut ties.

This year I think Kentucky just ran out of gas. Too many injuries, a rough end to the season, and it just wore them down. That happens, not everyone rolls into the Big Dance on a hot streak.

As for Pope the rumors about the NIL being small is concerning. Just in the SEC other schools are opening up the purse strings for basketball. You don't want to be the Sisters of the Poor in the modern NIL.

Kentucky will be fine in the long run, they're Kentucky after all.

You'll never forgive us for that time you got arrested for wagging your weenie at Walmart will you?

Not sure where the issue is here.

Peen. It's a small peen issue. Sadly, nothing to be done for it.
