Iran just attacked Israel with several drone strikes...more drones thought to still be in route. If these were launched from Iranian soil, I expect Israel to get fired up and strike back quickly. It is thought that the US would assist Israel if that were to happen.

It's not a Way Too Early Prediction if you wait 6 months. 😀 The point of the thread was for us all throw out our early expectations just based on the hire.

So it was best for you, for them to sell alcohol. Maybe allowing in the the suites was a test run before going stadium wide. Either way, he relented and allowed it...even if it wasn't as fast as you'd have preferred.

The amount of money made from alcohol either way isn't a game changer for UK athletics. There are worse things than having an AD with morals. Do you work UK games too, or just Reds/Bengals?

Over the last 9 seasons UK has gone 220 and 85 with 10 total NCAA wins in that span. That gives an average season of 24.4 wins and 9.4 losses with an average of 1 tournament win per year. I'm assuming Mark Pope will be the coach, we don't know the schedule or a single player that will be on the roster. So let's make fools of ourselves and vote in the poll how many total wins you expect this coming season.

That's what you can't get past? That it took an extra year for beer sales...really? SMH!

Clearest signal yet that Barhart isn't long for Lexington. I already thought he might retire before having to deal with possibly firing Cal. Now if he hires Pope, it will be up to next AD to fire him or give him an extension in a few years. Barnhart will be long retired from UK by then.

The US General in command of CENTCOM (The US Military Command over the Middle East) is in Israel discussing US aid in defending Israel from pending Iranian attacks. It is widely accepted that if Israel is ever attack via missiles, drones or aircraft directly from Iran, that they would strike back in kind. Reports are that the General is also discussing how the US could participate in these strikes. Iran is expected to strike any time in retaliation for some of their soldiers being killed in strikes by Israel in Syria. Those strikes were in retaliation for drone/missile strikes coming out of Syria. This is the kind of thing that can spin out of control quickly.

If my grandson ended up at Louisville I'd be all in...for four years. Short of that, they are on my permanent no-fly list.

So Hurley is out.

I guess we will agree to disagree.

There are a few coaches that I 100% don't want. That said, they could hire Christian Laettner and I wouldn't root for another school...let alone a rival.

That kind of money isn't always about greed, it's about generational security for your family. Not saying I think he takes it, but money isn't always about greed.

One of the most polarizing celebrities of all-time.

Couple of things from last night that made me pessimistic this morning. 1. Kids are in high school and have grown up in Waco. 2. Drew's currently in the middle of building custom dream home. 3. Wife was kinda freaked out by TV stations waiting at airport yesterday and the flight being diverted to another airport to avoid them. Does not crave attention at all.

Kinda felt like this was coming this morning. Last night I thought he'd take it. But this morning vibes coming out of Waco were pretty confident he was staying.

Probably by noon.

Hopefully Caitlin inspires a Steph Effect in women's basketball. I'll bet there are hundreds or maybe thousands of girls this summer trying to put up 1,000 shots a day just like Caitlin does. I think we'll see more girls playing in her style coming into the college game over the next few years. That will be her legacy.

Matt Jones did a Twitter live broadcast a few minutes ago. He said basically the job is Drew's and that has said he and his family will discuss tonight. Hurley hasn't said NO yet, which is kinda puzzling to most. Could be drawing it out to get a raise at UConn. That said, their championship parade isn't until Friday or Saturday and there is no way he'd say yes even if he was going to before the parade. If Drew and Hurley both decline, it's expected they'll wait until next week on Donovan but would be expected to pull the trigger quickly on next offer if Donovan says no. If Donovan is a hard no, I'd expect he'll tell them before next week so UK could proceed. After all that I think it's Drew and we'll know tomorrow.

Evidently the Jet tracked from Texas to Kentucky, went back to Texas this afternoon. Drew's family was seen getting off of the jet according to reports from Texas. For what that's worth.

Diana Taursi's dislike of Clark is borderline psychotic. Asked who she'd draft with first pick, without hesitation named the star from UConn. Taurasi has also said Clark won't do anything when she faces full grown women in the WNBA, they'll shut her down.

Someone saw this and tracked him down.

Drew evidently wasn't on the plane...possibly was someone on his behalf coming to Lexington.

That's part of not wanting him or Rick for sure.

Yes. The difference would be that Miller had been at Arizona for years and had program fully built when he had these failures. Pitino was in rebuilding mode with his last two programs when he has failures. To be clear I don't want Pitino either, but they were in vastly different circumstances.
