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.

My granny could flat make the best red eye gravy!!!! Hard to believe she's been gone nearly a quarter of a century.

Before tonight I was thinking 6 or 7 SEC losses but, after tonight , I think 8 or 9 is more likely. I wouldn't be surprised to see them take it on the chin in their SEC home opener. They aren't gonna be a 1or 2 seed like many have unrealistically been dreaming of. Probably in the 5-7 range. We have the ability to be a pretty good basketball team on a given night, but ,then, there are those other nights...
