It's legitimate disgust at a crappy, gutless team. No need to insult women.

The t-shirt should be earned, not a given. Win some games or at least fight to win, then DGAF.

That's a convincing list of promotional successes. It's way past time to close the door on carpetbagging yankee con men. I'm good with the hometown hire.

I played Strikes until it was beyond help. I saw them live. I wouldn't say they never made it. Your observations speak more to the overall, long term success of southern rock as the 70s faded.

I got a good idea which one line dances and settles for no gain.

I will be in my "million" dollar house yelling, "Make them respect the fullback!" and "Why are you throwing 20 yards sideways for two yards when you have a fullback!" until the dish, after putting up with all she can, pleads with me to stop. Then, I'll watch something that kicks arse.

I saw him 10 or so years ago at the Rev Room in LR. Just him, a DJ, and two fly girls. He compressed the old hits into an upbeat medley late in the show. He played an acrylic strat. Cool, full crowd. It was the most fun show we saw that year. I loved how he wasn't just another stale relic living in and off the past.

Continuing from your '65 point, in '78 the basketball team had been to a final four. So was Eddie Sutton all the buzz? No. Lou Holtz, coming off a 10-1 season was. "Lou Holtz for President" was a thing.

In 2008, the basketball team was terrible. Did a group of fans on a private board foia the coach's phone records and pour through pages and pages to find dirt? No, they went after the football coach who's hubris blew a shot at a great season.

What built the basketball program? The success of the football program. Is that true for a basketball school like UK? No. Some opinions are more informed and well reasoned than others. That's another reason "taking over a bad situation" is no excuse for last Saturday.

I didn't know we had a basketball team until the triplets. As an Arklatex kid, I was a Pistol Pete fan. But i could name every QB since Jon Brittenum. So, no, false.

We can all agree that Ryan was an underwhelming hire, a hire no other team was looking to make. Some say it should have been Petrino, while others, including me, say Petrino is done as a head coach, evidenced by the "hire no other team was looking to make" standard, and we needed a fresh start. That's a relatively small disagreement.

We can all agree that the offense has no brains, heart, or courage, and Ryan looks a lot like Dorothy after two games. But we're stuck with Dorothy for at least this season. I won't begrudge anyone a little darksiding or sunshine pumping in the meantime.

The term darksider was first applied to the "fire Nolan" crowd on the pigpen. The only time I've been on the bright side.

If only the folks who will hire the AD could be fired first.

I want a younger AD who understands the present and has a better idea for the future. Then (I know it's odd), he needs to hire a retread to rebuild, like Frank did with Danny Ford after the Crowe debacle.

re: Our next offense should be whatever Utah was running

Posted by Red Boarman on 9/13/26 at 2:16 pm to hawgfaninc

Whatever the offense, it should be a scheme and not a sketchbook of plays. It should be one that suits the personnel, that the starting QB can actually execute. If it is not an option scheme, it should not run a random option play down the line. It should have a steady pace and tight execution.

I never thought I would miss the flexbone. Kenny, I apologize.

Kenny's returns. Lou and Monte's takedown of OK. 42-11. and so on. Top 5 average finish in the 60's. Top 10 in the 70's. Top 15 in the 80's. The last 15 years don't define the last 55. That's what I would tell them. Be timeless and timely.
