Voice of Reason

I know Kansas was missing their 2 best players, but still surprised they weren't more competitive. Now the real opportunity for UC - Baylor.

Can the school include that money as part of the compensation package when negotiating? I guess they can. Nothing against NCAA rules to openly include that money?

This game was the most physical high school game I can ever recall seeing. Pushing, shoving, throwing a forceful shoulder into another player, grabbing a player around the neck and throwing him to the ground - all things I saw while the officials did nothing. I am amazed we did not see a fight in the floor. I like and played physical, but last night's game was crazy physical. Over the top IMO. But they were consistent - they just refused to blow the whistle.

When you push a guy standing still near mid court causing him him to fall into the back court, no choice but to call a foul.

How does that shoe money to coaches work?

Browns in talks to bring in Jameis Winston as back up QB.

To summarize, the Bengals trade Mixon's $8M contract to the Texans and replace that $8M with Moss, Gesicki and a draft pick.

Mixon is #4 in the NFL in rushing yards since he came into the league.

Nice! That two year contract is paying off for the Bengals.

Blame Ticketmaster! Greedy monopoly in its most abusive form.

How long would it take to get out of any parking lot like that? I sat forever getting in and out of Kroger Field at the high school state championships.

And it is worth it IMO. I don't think any other place in N. Ky. could have held the crowd Sunday. And probably the same tonight.

There is no better example of how a business monopoly will abuse people than Ticketmaster. They are charging an $8 fee to buy a ticket for tonight. Come on T Swift! You have the power to fix this! You are "The Man". (Queu it up @theguru)

I like the face of the city having a cross on it.

Milwaukie dominated the rebounding and NKU could not keep Milwaukie in front of them in the second half. At least 90% of Milwaukie's second half points were scored in the paint. Robinson was a beast for NKU. Over 30 points, career high. Warrick could not get to the rim and could not create enough space to get a shot. At one point he was 2-15.

Moss played very well for the Colts while Taylor was out. Rushed for 165 yards against the Titans. Averaged 4.3 ypc vs. 4.0 for Mixon. But he was running behind the Colts' offensive line. Budget move. Comparable player for half the cost. Much less wear on Moss. Also, Chase Brown has to be the starter now. Moss will get a lot of carries but look for Brown to be the lead back.

I am definitely on the fence on a long term deal and for sure do not want to pay him more than Pittman. I am good keeping him this year on the tag. Give it one more try at a SB with him and Chase together. Then next year tag and trade if there is value in the risk.

You want Higgins gone?

Definitely avoiding buying in person at the site.

This team took a loooooong time to learn things. We have all seen it. It took most of the season to learn how to defend the high pick and roll. They still mess it up. I have seen teams run the same offensive set over and over and over and this team still didn't defend it. Common basketball sense and experience should enable these players to recognize the play, but not this team. How many times have teams run inbounds plays against UK over and over and these guys still don't recognize it? These are things I don't remember happening to Calipari teams in the past. Defense is usually a strong suit for a Calipari team. I think this team is a slow to learn defensive group. I watch Sheppard on defense and he still loses track of his man watching the ball. He is much better but still makes that basic mistake. And he isn't alone on this team.

Close hard fought game into the fourth quarter. The final margin does not reflect the game.

Michael Pittman signing for 3 years, $71 million. Higgins is not worth more than Pittman. The Bengals have the money to do a deal like that for Higgins. I am sticking with my info and saying Higgins doesn't want to be in Cincinnati. If he is traded, he will get a contract worth less than Pittman's unless it is a trade to the Titans.

Do you think Juedy is more valuable than Higgins?

Tyson weigh 165 or less? Are they fighting at a nursing home?

Where are tickets available now?
