Just starting to be a volleyball fan. The job Skinner does at UK is awesome! Texas A & M win over undefeated Nebraska (#1) was a classic and was live on prime time ABC. This sport is pretty exciting and Cats (#2) in country have a real shot in Final 4.

Does Dickie V. ever comment on the game being played?

Pretty excited to see Cats win a bully ball game against Indiana. Can’t remember the last time we won in that fashion. Afraid our shooting will fail us against Coach Pitino.

So disappointing to see his parting post to all that voted. But, in today’s world hard to be certain of its’ legitimacy.

2nd TV timeout. So glad to hear a commercial rather than that Dickie V rambling.

Maybe not so much, as the Panthers start four sophomores and a freshman. Not sure any are over 5’9”(?).

Sounds like his team could be awesome running Scott County’s offense.

Shame he lost playing in his team’s last two games do to injury. Raiders with him would have gone deeper in the playoffs.

Big picture……Stonebraker at Danville is quite a turn-a-round.

Does the Archdiocese have any oversight of hiring and compensation packages in Louisville? Seems he has a major voice inNKy.

If 12 guys (18-22 years old) are all getting their part of $22million is there a small question as to the absence of hunger?……..Not talking about food.

So sorry, Dicky V, but could you focus on the game and not some unrelated diaper-dandy moment that happened in the warmups three years ago? Hate to mute you, but I do want to focus on the game. Now Barkley is a voice I want to hear. His opinion of the Cats’ effort will be interesting.

Asleep at the wheel here. What happened?

Coach Listerman in his wisdom might have said to all the football players….take a few weeks, get refreshed and you decide by (fill in the date) if you are ready for some roundball. Have seen this many times where football and basketball programs successfully excel.

Going with the home court advantage.

And that is exactly what Dan Issel boldly advised as the action Mark Pope needed to take. Shorten the rotation and bench the guys that aren’t playing D and for each other.

Hadn’t heard anything lately other than camp comments he didn’t know the offense. When you have a staff of only 4 evaluating personnel what we can expect other than more whiffs than hits?

Is that what $$$$$ motivation does when things are a little shakey?

What is this all about?

Keep checking this thread and my performance never changes. Mediocre is generous and wife now questioning my expertise and time on BGP. 57 year marriage now in jeopardy as she thought I knew everything. Still loving on the Tigers, Rams, Eagles, Bulldogs, etc. Trying now to convince Mrs. Oldercoach I am going to max Pick 5 Contest weekly and thru Playoffs in 2026. Hope she doesn’t cutoff my allowance!

Honestly shocked to see OC live and how their aerial game was so well defended by LCA. After listening to the BW game, I expected Carothers to be surgical. Not today. So many missed open receivers, bad reads, interceptions on poor decisions. The young man (1st year starter) will grow a lot as this defense had him very confused.

His twin Eli played only on D. Solid player but really good catcher on baseball team.

OC QB was just surgical against BW. Candidly, did not think that was possible. Can’t project LCA having better secondary so it has to happen in the trenches if they are to harness that aerial assault..

Maybe been said here before, but Evan and twin Eli have strong NKy ties. They are sons of SEC/ACC official Brent Hampton (sorry only know their Mother as why the family lives in Owensboro) and grandsons of Doug and Patsy Hampton of Cynthiana, Ky. Lots of athletic genes as their uncle John is also an SEC referee.

Surgical!
