Pretty sure NBC is doing all of the production for Amazon.

I think he was a way better coach back in the UMass days. His Memphis teams had a bunch of talent and he still had more NBA players on his teams in 11 and 14 than most of his opponents, even the ones that were ranked ahead of them. He "Loves BEING the Coach" but I don't think he "Loves TO Coach".

Has anyone ever said "Coach Cal's team has really overachieved"? Give Izzo the same talent Cal has had the last 10 plus years and I bet UK has 5 championships.

1st and Goal from the 25. No first down unless by penalty. Coin flip after each OT period. Definitely a disadvantage for a defense to be out there 2 possessions in a row so leave that to luck of the call on the coin toss.

Honest question here: Why don't they make it hard for receivers to get off the line anymore? You never see a DB trying to make contact with the receiver at the line. Everyone in the country knew that the ball was going to Hill and Kelce on that last drive in regulation but they did't even try to make it hard for them to get downfield. Especially when you have all those guys playing cover 3 or 4 deep.

Got to meet him once. A true gentleman!

Coach Wynn did a great job at Newport and turned that program around quickly. Tough loss for Newport but at least the kids that played for him got to experience success. Hopefully that trend can continue.

"Jerk" would be the more appropriate word.

Officiating question here on that last shot: Obviously there was contact but if the contact came on the follow through after the buzzer can it be called? Looked like it was a bang, bang play but I think the contact might have been after the buzzer.

In addition to the revenue sharing and salary cap mentioned above: -7 inning games -Pitch Clock -Extra innings start with runner on second -If they can't get a salary cap with the union, then make the Luxury tax 31times whatever you spend over the threshold. In other words, for every dollar you spend over the limit, you give that same amount to every other team. Works the same as a salary cap in the end without "capping" a players ability to earn. The current luxury tax means nothing to the big market teams.

It's not that surprising that Shepard would say that. He grew up in Georgia. I'm sure he doesn't have the same affinity for UK that folks born and raised here have. Like many former players, they would do anything for their coach and that's where their loyalty lies. Based on the way that some of the top kids in KY have been treated (or looked over) by Cal , it's not surprising at all that he doesn't want his kid to play for him. Tom Izzo, Jay Wright, Bill Self just to name a few are all coaches I would rather see coach my son than Cal.

I couldn't agree more with this. Class guy that probably doesn't get the credit he deserves. They have talent but he works with what he has every year and each team looks a little different. Don't know that I could even put a finger on their "system". He adapts to what he has and makes it work. Congrats o Beechwood!

Did't get to see the game and just went back and read through the update thread. Great game by the Purples and Cov Cath has nothing to hang their heads about. 2 things I can say with certainty: -There are plenty of teams around the state that would love to have Eddie as their coach. -There are plenty of teams around the state that would have loved to have Caleb as their QB the last 3 years. When I looked back and saw some of the comments about Caleb and Eddie in the update thread, I couldn't believe it. Especially from the idiot calling Caleb the "worst QB in the state". The kid has a state championship ring, and a runners up trophy. I can guarantee you the errors last night (and maybe some during the season) probably resulted from him putting too much on his shoulders because he didn't have the supporting cast like he had the last couple of years. Thats not a slam on the talent this year but it's a compliment to the teams of the last couple of years. I'll take that kid in my foxhole any day over some jerk that wants to feel like a big man by putting down an 18 year old kid. By the way, this is coming from a New Cath parent who has rooted against Cov Cath as much as anyone.

Dixon averaging 16+ per carry is unbelievable. Reminds me of the number Carlos Snow put up at CAPE way back.

Zac Taylor? At least if he went to Highlands they would be hiring someone with Head Coaching experience, unlike the Bengals.
