Love those mountain grannys! Wish mine was still here to fix me some red eye gravy, something I probably haven’t had now in over 40 years since she’s been gone.

Anyway, my take on UK after basically all of the pre conference schedule is done is this—we’ve hired a very solid basketball coach, and we’ve got a bunch of good, not great, veteran players, meaning there are going to be some nights like this, where we just get our ass kicked. There are also going to be some nights where we play well enough to beat teams the caliber of Duke and Gonzaga. The KSR bunch was debating what they think our SEC record will be this week, and they mostly settled on 12-6. I think that’s crazy. I think 11-7 would be fantastic in this SEC, and something like 10-8 or 9-9 is actually more realistic.
