Today might be the day that brings me the closest to believing that there must be a God.
Thank you, Jesus. Thank you for keeping him in Wacko, Texas!!!!

If this happens I’ll never watch another Kentucky game again…
You lie ! You'll watch!
No sir no I will not. If this happens Mitch will be in big trouble.

I’m disappointed that Drew didn’t take the job, I pray we don’t wait on Donovan, that’s the worst decision !

Why do you think Donovan is the worst decision?

Donovan still would be the best choice their is outside of him you have Pearl, Beard, Pope, Smart
Recruits will look at Donovan like “hey he’s been an NBA coach, he knows what it’ll take to get me to the next level”

Absolutely right !!!! Good players would scurry out of the portal to play for Donovan in LEX like ants for a big glob of Karo Syrup. He would build a good roster in a hurry.
Then there's this ....

Some of you probably already know that Joe Craft's jet flew into NYC today and was on the ground for several hours at Laguardia.

Pitino wouldn’t be bad, for a few years then we’d be back at this. Pope,,, eh,,, not a horrible choice but not mine. I’d love oats but he ain’t coming, I say cut the crap and get pearl.
04-11-2024, 09:53 PM
The right choice is to wait on Donovan. in the long run it would pay off. What kills me is everyone wanted Cal out and with the search they wanna it to be someone like Cal. Nobody is good enough for people. We probably gonna have a down year if Donovan gets the job but in the long run he will build it right back. Players will wanna play for him.

I’ve heard that Donovan has contacted several assistants just in case….

Can you all even fathom KY vs Arkansas at Rupp next season with Pitino in Blue and Cal in Red? That's Twilight Zone stuff!
Doesn't his wife have family connections in Lexington?

Yes she does. She’s on board and I’m hearing he’s interested but he can’t do anything until Chicago is completely out of the playoffs. They have a play on game against the Hawks next Wednesday.

I agree 1000%. Not surprised in the least UK has turned this into a public relations disaster. Barnhart is a bigger clown than Calipari.

Definitely agree with that statement. Don't care for him.

I still say you'll be glued to your TV or computer watching Big Blue next season. I'm losing more interest by the day. Might be time for me to pick another team to root for. This whole ordeal has left me with a very bad taste in my mouth for UK athletics.
It should have been Billy. Can't believed Barney didn't even pick up the phone and talk to him. What a joker!!!

not as much as you’d think…..I’m sick. This is complete bullshit. Damnit Mitch

If this is the direction we are going, we may think it is the wrong hire and I think most of us feel this way. However, we gotta hope he comes in and just makes us all eat our words.
04-11-2024, 11:10 PM
Mark Pope was my favorite player on the 96 team. He is a good coach now. However, he is not ready for UK yet, he needs a few more seasons of experience. I hope he does well, and I will root for him.
I hope this does not turn into a Matt Doroghty (sp?) situation at UNC.

He was roommates with Jeff Sheppard for 2 years. Does this mean we get year two of Reed Sheppard?

UK may be joining Indiana in former basketball powers who are now irrelevant.
04-11-2024, 11:18 PM
Well, we didn't hire Chris Beard. So that's a plus.
I'll give Pope a chance and be watching. Hopefully he does well. I don't care if he's not the name we were hoping for now, as long as he ends up being the right choice in the end.

I just have to get used to living in f@cking bizarro clown world. I would rather OSH pick the men's UK BB coach than Barnhart.

Hopefully they got Pope for $12.50/hour and he has to pay his own travel expenses...
