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.

I think businesses that are primarily restaurants should be allowed to stay open. Unfortunately it's hard to differentiate between restaurants that serve alcohol and bars that serve food. By their nature, it's almost impossible for bars to adhere to Covid regulations. Once you start drinking you get louder, closer, more free with contact, etc. I'm not pointing fingers, I do this myself. Don't know what the solution is for bars but I think those are about the only businesses that really can't abide by the regulations.

Would love to have been a fly on the wall at some of the parties he used to go to back in the day!!

There was a recent study done in Kansas where masks mandates were left to individual counties. The counties that had mask mandates saw the progress of Covid degreases by 50%. https://www.kansascity.com/news/coronavirus/article246781727.html

Unfortunately for Cam, I don't think the one that necessarily deserves the award is always the one that wins it. More of a popularity contest and guys that have Power 5 offers will probably get the nod, even with lesser stats and success.

Just a question about the flu outbreaks last fall that some think was COVID: If that was COVID, why did it have such a drastic effect on the school aged kids but from what we've seen with COVID from February on, there has been very little effect on school aged kids?

Indiana has 6.85 million people and 1379 deaths. Thats 202 deaths per million. Kentucky has 4.5 million people and 294 deaths. Thats 65 deaths per million. Tennessee has 6.82 million and 237 deaths. Why is the death rate in Indiana is over 3x the rate in KY and TN? The only real difference between stats is that Indiana's first death was about a week before Tennessee's but that doesn't explain that gap.

So I was wrong in what I said earlier according to an article I just read. The third person that shot the video was William Bryan who is a resident of the community that the shooting took place in.

I heard the victim's family attorney say in an interview this morning that the video was shot by one of the 2 suspects. The father I think.

This article shows a little difference in the statistics of deaths for children due to Covid-19. It shows 3 deaths in the Under 14 age group and 21 deaths in the 14-24 age group. These numbers are also only the ones that have been coded so the total number of deaths in this report is only 23,000. Since that is less than half the number of total deaths right now, it would make sense that all the numbers in that report are probably about double of what it states. Provisional Death Counts for Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)

Just saw this article about the sectional basketball tournament in Indiana. 5 deaths and numerous others were possibly infected that night and this was when there was only 1 reported case in the state. Coronavirus deaths followed Indiana basketball sectional
