If Purdue is #1, they don’t look like it. Although Cats D has looked decent. Cats have had good aggressiveness on D and been attacking well on offense. There have been some quick shots that were unnecessary, but it is exhibition. I wish we could have had a look at Lowe at point. Johnson and Moreno have looked pretty good for true freshmen.

I’m afraid we’ll have to keep because of the ridiculous buyout. We can only wish that he gets an opportunity elsewhere and decides to leave on his own.
Yes, I would rather we find a win to beat Tennessee and fire Stoops.

I do think our D has the talent equal to or better than Bama. But I think our defense will do a better job on keys and team defense. There were many times that Vandy was able to get a single defender in a bind or make them freeze. Diego gonna get some of his own yards for sure because he’s shifty and quick. But the running lanes should be more narrow for him, and the Cats rally to the ball pretty well. Pavia’s scramble-throw game is pretty damn good, though, so the secondary will need to be very disciplined and sticky to his receivers.

Thoughts for UK

Not sure it’s good, bad, or otherwise that we play Vandy next. Pavia’s a dog though, that’s for sure. I can’t help but like the kid!

I hope Brad White took good notes on how Ark kept TN at bay for most of the night.

Side thought—Hal Mumme once let Penn St score at the end of a game to give the ball back to his offense. Has that ever worked?
I have a notion to visit all the SEC stadiums eventually, and Oxford will be at or near the first I visit. But alas, it will not be this year.
I think Brock will struggle in his first road game as a starter. I also don’t think our Oline can pass block worth a poo.
The D will have to play great and get +2 in turnovers. And the offense will need to be effective running the ball and shortening the game. Classic Stoops formula.
I do not like our chances.
I wouldn’t say ecstatic. We only got to watch just over 35 min of football. BVG was just hitting a stride, as was our defense.
I saw enough to be pleased and have some reasonable hope for a good season (8-9 wins if we steal 1 or 2).
TBH, the first quarter was a little shaky.
Best look was the return of complimentary football.

Kentucky became u of cal the minute he stepped on their campus whether they’ll admit it or not. How did that make you feel?


Yes, entirely true.

I don’t think anybody liked it very much, but BBN tolerated that attitude when he was winning.

But, I’ll say this, he was never anything close to that blatant about it while he was at UK.

He would preach “players first”, “play for your brothers”, etc. He never said anything resembling “Cal University”. I’d be flat pissed if I was a Razorback fan and he was touting his own brand above the name on the front of the jersey like that.

Good luck!

I mean, we have a higher ranked class than Kentucky right now.


No UK fan has knocked Cals' recruiting, he always gets HIS players.

I'll just say this...

Cal is great at doing Cal things and the things Cal likes to do.

He is not so great at other things. You will come to understand what the other things are.

Best of luck to you.

After we beat Mizzou a few times in a row, that game got pretty salty. Now without divisions, that budding rivalry will cool.

I agree with UL and UT. They are co-number ones for me in both bball and fball. UF is a close third, but more on the bball side over the long haul.

Moving from what exactly?


Moving off of Richmond Road. That's all I care about. :dude:
Guarded optimism. Defense should be pretty decent. Offense has some weapons, but I am not going to let myself think we'll score 30+ points per game.

I do believe that the offensive tempo will be increased significantly from previous years.
It's funny to make reference to the worst, most dominant fascist leader this planet has known in regards to Cal, since Cal is the closest version of a fascist leader in college basketball. It's all about Calipari and his way and his guys.

Good laughs though. I always like these clips.
