Yeah these ain't the Butch days of losing Trevor Lawrence to Clemson anymore.

Butch didn’t “lose” Lawrence…never had him.

There's a store in PF that gets a deadpan look from me every time I pass it. It isnt the dress barn.

It's a Kentucky thing for Cal, he wasn't just loading up 1 & done classes at UMass or Memphis...you realize he coached at a high level for years at other schools before Kentucky, right?

The one and done thing was not a purely UK thing. That was a Calipari thing and it started his last few years at Memphis.

At Memphis he had 3 one and done players in 8 seasons. Would have had a 4th but that player went pro instead of going to college for a year in 2003. However, 2 of those one and done players came in the last 3 years he was at Memphis. The year that Calipari left for UK, he had 1 one and done player committed, another who has said since that he was going to play for him at Memphis, and another who’s final choice was between UK (with Cal) and Memphis (without Cal). Calipari started recruiting him at Memphis and Paster kept recruiting him when Calipari left. They all followed him to UK in the end. So if he stayed at Memphis he would have had at least 2, but most likely 3, signed for 2009, and 5 or 6 one and done players total in 4 years at Memphis.

The one and done blueprint was created in Memphis, it just had the longest utilization and obviously exploded to bigger heights at UK. UMass was all obviously before his one and done strategy though.

He's walking his dog in a stroller? Doesn't seem very Arkansas.

Wasn’t actually in the stroller but that would’ve been super embarrassing for him. Although the stroller suggests that the dog was in the stroller at one point. And so yes this is still embarrassing

I saw where someone said Stackhouse was being considered for the KY job!? WTF?

Please stop believing everything you read on the internet

Cal is roundball Jimbo Fisher.

Pretty much.

Though even 1 title at UK....is...checks calculations...still infinitely more than A&M has had the last 85 years

That wannabe Onion outlet tries so hard and yet somehow is never funny

 

[UpstateVol613]

He’s tall…enough said.

 

[Orangeburst]

So close to having a Masters in the dark..maybe 2044 will



I remember this Firestone event. Played Firestone once and hacked it up awful.

Never not funny.

Never funny?

Sounds like he can playo Ballo too.

 

[Devo182]

Nope. Part of a new strategy by NCAA. We included everyone regardless of division, Won-Loss record, or conference.

Everyone gets a playoff spot!

The baseball "top 25 poll" is merely 4 writers for a site called D1baseball.com.

The most meaningless poll of all time with zero bearing on anything.

 

[Devo182]

Never funny?

From what I've seen of posts here. Obviously don't follow them. The Onion already exists if I wanted parody. But mostly they just seem really cheesy.

Byron already brings 10x the number of dad jokes I will ever be able to absorb!

Any of you malcontents in need of tickets to O&W?

Nobody?

Lemme try harder. How about two free tickets in the Lower West Club?
