The Gatas.

They've got a great squad. Well coached. Experienced.

Chuck Person was something else in college. Just something else.

At SEC media days before the 2024 season he talked a bunch about how the Oline was going to “impose their will” and “run it down everyone’s throat”. That line was one of the worst run blocking units ever, Campbell included.

I'm not a coach by any means ... I just see stuff sometimes. I noticed, in many of those clips, you see Campbell's first step looks like he's shading inside to help the guard - and he often loses right there because he's not big or strong or fast enough to recover. As soon as Campbell get stood up, he gets run over. Or he gets over his feet and gets run around.

And its always to his left shoulder ... yet his first step back is always to the inside which makes it worse. I don't get it.

Curiously enough, it also looks like the Guards first step is often outside to help Campbell ... and that guy consistently loses his assignment as a result as well.

I sure didn't have a drunk Kentucky fan comparing himself to Michelangelo on my bingo card today.

Cool. I didn't have a South Carolina Fan with a fricking clue who Michelangelo even was.

It took you 3 paragraphs to tap dance around Kentucky not having shite

We don't. And I've worked in South Carolina. Neither do you.

We've got Whiskey and Horses and we used to have Hot Womenz - but they mostly got fat. You've got the Beach and that Palm Tree Sticker.

We've both got Toyota and Cat and Benz and Ford and this and that moving in because we both work cheap because its all we got.

Yeah, we got nothing. Collectively. Yay College Sports Team we never went to College for.

And for God's Sake ... if you really WENT to South Carolina ? Why are you here chopping it up ? Oh Yeah ... because it's just a piece of paper.

Make no mistake ... I like this chaos. Seriously. I want to live long enough to see the NCAA burn to the ground. The Conferences refuse to play each other. No "National Champion" and everything regress.

Because I remember Myron Piggie and Cory Maggette. I also remember Kansas and Memphis. Darrell Arthur vs. Derrick Rose. It was a Loser Gets Sanctioned Match. Neither were eligible.

Maybe "great players" is a little adventurous but what keeps anyone from singing, say, UFL players?

---

Nothing. Until there is a rule limit on age ? Or - and this shocks me more than anything - something about a general fricking progression toward a degree ?

Absolutely nothing.

Look - we're living in Retard-Ville. The last generation of the idea that Semi-Pro Ball was arranged around Higher Education. Only America could have come up with such a stupid arrangement.

The NFL is one most powerful organizations in the country. They drive the largest ratings on all the major networks. Don’t get it twisted, they have deep political ties and would not allow that to happen.

---

My Man ... that is just simply bullshite. I see a lot - A LOT - of shite here that makes no sense. Same as political threads. Same as most news commentary. Sometimes just drunk ranting. Sometimes the WillyT crazy purposeful stuff. But seriously - what you just posted made no sense.

The NFL LOVES the College Boosters paying extra for the boys to stay in school another year. Because its another year to evaluate 'em. Son - the NFL is the group of owners that collectively bargained to put in a salary cap. The NFL is in the business of, as a group of owners, collectively playing as a cartel. They act as an old school Sugar Trust. They trust each other so little as to put in a set of rules that says "none of us will pay our collective labor more than X amount of dollars".

It wouldn't be legal, by labor law, except the NFLPA is so fricking weak and stupid as to strike now and then so that the top 10% of their own membership makes 90% of the wages. And that's not far off.

So go ahead Texas. Pay Arch a First Round Wage for another year. The NFL does not mind. Anyone that thinks different ? Well ... honestly ... the problem with the Internet is anyone gets to spout an opinion.

I'm worried you guys are going to be disappointed.

Look, its going to be awful. Kentucky has no point guard and no true center. And no reliable shooters. And no ball movement. And no defense. And a coach that can be described as "emotionally fragile" at best.

Cal will run it up. You'll have an excellent time. "Catharsis" is the word I'd use.

So don't over-hype yourselves. Employ some pace. Contain your enthusiasm. You don't want to punch out too soon before the big "White Out". Which is, by the way, a waste of a good Fayetteville White Out. Overkill.

And seriously ? If I were you, I'd lay any point total under 7.5. Maybe higher. I know I will. Good Game in advance.

And now ... if you are a Home Dog ? Then that home cooking gets going. And that's the Home Magic that happens in Rupp. And every other gym in the SEC.

Coming in late - don't mean to take the thread off track.

Mark Pope IS a good in-game coach. He man adjustments again today. He's making chicken salad out of chicken shite.

But he's not the guy that should get to pick the ingredients. If that Tall Autistic Mormon will just get a GM ? He'll get to hang a banner.

Will he ? I don't know. But I hope he does. There is potential there.
