    No one is going to travel a long way to watch UK's football team play. Basketball yes.

    UK fan here. UK has one decent player on offense (WR Dane Key) and the other starters are bad. UK's defense was solid for the first half of the year but with injuries and the incompetence of the offense I think they quit at the Florida game. UK's best DL Deone Walker sat out yesterday's game and I wouldn't be surprised if he sits out the final 2 games because why risk your draft status for a crap team that's going nowhere and a coach that quit before the season started. Texas winning 70-0 would help us get Stoops overpaid whiny fat ass out of here.

    There's 66 reasons UCLA has a lot of potential and 3 negatives.

    UCLA is a great large public university in a recruiting hotbed with great weather and a million things to do and you're comparing them to New Mexico State? Is this a joke? USC has all these pluses (except they're a huge private school) and that's why they have historically had one of the best programs. I don't see why UCLA can't be successful like USC.

    At the time he looked like a desperation hire and this press conference reinforces that. UCLA has the potential to be a top ten program and this is the best they can do?

    Florida State signed of their own free will and you don't get out of contracts because you don't think it's fair. It's understandable that the Big Ten and SEC aren't interested because if FSU will sue the ACC, they will sue the Big Ten and SEC and the last thing presidents want is to have ugly lawsuits that air out all the dirty laundry. As a secondary fan of an ACC school, FSU has acted terribly for a long time and that's why they were singled out. Any conference that has them as a member will regret it.

    Any list that has Iowa as more valuable than USC shouldn't be taken too seriously.

    I would advise against visiting Neyland Stadium unless you want to be around a bunch of rude obese cretins that should be thrown into an active volcano.

    TV executives are calling the shots now and they don't care about Stanford and Cal which is why they had to take a bad deal with the ACC. Several of the PAC presidents (notably the Arizona State president) demonstrated repeatedly that they are out of touch with reality which is the main reason their conference is gone.

    Cal's athletics department is in terrible financial shape and needs to cut a bunch of sports. Is the state going to fund all of the sports that they sponsor? I hate to see athletics siphoning money away from one of the world's great universities. Cal's value to the state and world isn't in athletics.

    My point is the Big Ten was doing well financially as a midwestern conference and they didn't have to become a national conference and add anyone. This is different from the Big 12 who had to add the best schools wherever they could to survive. USC's major problem has been USC and moving to conference on the other side of the country isn't going to fix that. I realize the SEC started this expansion stuff but we have at least stayed somewhat regional.

    The Big Ten didn't have to have this coast to coast monstrosity to survive. They're just really greedy so we have Rutgers playing at 11 at night.

    If ever there was a large public university that should have dropped football, it's Cal. What little success they had was achieved with cutting corners and they have a faculty that is openly hostile to football and students are indifferent. The other UC schools have shown you don't need major sports to have a great university.
  14. John80
    I'm a UK fan and I knew we wouldn't be in top half of the conference but I'm a bit skeptical of some of the schools that are ahead of us here. We have had relatively good attendance for a bad program and the last several years have been better than average so I'm surprised someone like Indiana has double the viewership and I know there aren't any Indiana football fans.

    Most UK fans would prefer an ACC basketball schedule over an SEC basketball schedule and if UK got booted for whatever reason there's no way UK would play any SEC schools in basketball again. All of UK's basketball rivals except Kansas are in the ACC.

    Israel

    John80 replied to SmokeyBear1861's topic in Cloak Room

    The vast majority of politicians on both sides are bought and paid for by AIPAC so they go crazy if anyone utters a word of criticism or protest about Israel.

    I'm sure the Big Ten expected Nebraska to continue being nationally relevant in football but it hasn't turned out that way. The last time Nebraska had a winning conference record was 2016.
  18. John80
    1. Switch Florida and Georgia Tech. 2. Virgina and North Carolina have the South's oldest rivalry so they have to be in the same conference. 3. The Big Ten snobs will have a fainting spell if they're in the same conference as Louisville.

    UK basketball has always been over the top and he's been in it. I don't think he will win enough but the relationship with Cal was broken beyond repair and the top coaches didn't want to be part of this circus.
  20. John80
    At least Mark Pope knows what he's getting into. Billy Gillespie was overwhelmed in addition to being an abusive drunk.
  21. John80
    The one drawback to letting Cal go was UK's awful athletics director would make the hire and he has done worse then I could have imagined by hiring someone who has never won a tourney game. Top ten salary too of course for someone that hasn't won anything. The football program has been going down and now the basketball program will really start heading down.
  22. John80
    UK's athletics director is an idiot who hired two coaches (Billy Gillespie and Joker Phillips) that were complete disasters and would have gotten him fired anywhere else. He gave Calipari a lifetime contract and Arkansas bailed him out of that mistake.
  23. John80
    The last time he made it past the first weekend was 2019. His best days are long gone but thanks to Arkansas for taking him off our hands and avoiding an ugly exit.
  24. John80
    When you get bounced early year after year it isn't a fluke. He's a shitty coach and Arkansas fans will find that out soon enough.
  25. John80
    Having a completely different team every year doesn't work. Every class should have a few highly rated players and a few that will stick around and do the dirty work that's necessary to win.
