August 19, 200917 yr How many college programs will have their upcoming schedule on a TV special broadcast, and in the late summer at that? :bunny: :banana::popcorn: UK basketball is very unique in the excitement it generates with its fans, and the TV folks know that. Their ratings should be good for the show.
August 19, 200917 yr Pat Forde added his 2 cents this morning: ESPN analyst Pat Forde, who happens to be a Louisville native, had this to say on Twitter this morning: "Kentucky being Kentucky, it is turning the release of its schedule into a live television event. Yes, I am serious." "And trust me, it will get ratings." Kentucky is being Kentucky and Pat Forde is being Pat Forde.

Forde and any other sour grapes person should understand and accept that. Cats, Cats, Cats!!!!!!!!
August 19, 200917 yr Not bad at all. Austin Peay and Morehead played in the OVC finals correct? Cleveland State was a NCAA team who beat Wake Forest. Sam Houston State was under 150 in the RPI. Rider was a 150+ RPI team. LBSU is not very good Heck, Indiana is the only 200+ RPI team on schedule and they play in Bloomington this year. If this is the schedule then it is a below average out of conference schedule for a team in a conference that is not boasting any power house teams besides themselves. My whole point on scheduling is that if your conference is not strong (and the SEC is not) then you need to play a strong out of conference schedule. If you are in the Big East and play 10-12 games against top 25 teams in conference play then you should look for 1-2 real strong non conference games.

I agree that the schedule certainly could be stronger, and I fully expect it to be in the future. I would think that most of the schedule was probably in place before Callipari took over.

I would think that most of the schedule was probably in place before Callipari took over. The Cancun tournament is really bringing our SOS down. I believe that was all Billy Clyde's work.

August 19, 200917 yr If you listened to coach Cal's presser where he talked about rpi and sos he probably understands it better than most. I agree most of this years schedule was probably already in place.
August 19, 200917 yr Author In his defense he did say that in the future he wants to schedule Duke and/or Kansas on a regular basis.
August 19, 200917 yr I do not hang on every word Coach Cal says. My point is that Kentucky does have work to do on there schedule ( in my opinion) regardless if the coach was BCG or Cal.
August 19, 200917 yr The Cancun tournament is really bringing our SOS down. I believe that was all Billy Clyde's work. If you get on the website you will notice the only way to get tickets is to purchase their all-inclusive package. BCG and all you can drink would have been interesting!
August 19, 200917 yr There I changed it. Don't know for how long though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009%E2%80%9310_Kentucky_Wildcats_men%27s_basketball_team#2009-10_Tentative_Schedule :notworthy:
