Kentucky Wildcats - Saturday - 5pm - ESPN

All good points you added.
Just looking at the matchup we look a bit overmatched but I doubt it plays out that way. Iâm surprised how good they are playing right now but Iâm also not convinced teams such as Auburn or Miss St are that good anyway having watched their games against UK. Kenpom has Kentuckyâs offense 7 spots better but the defenses are around the same. Iâm interested to see how Dotson responds to being guarded by Hagans who is among the best defenders in the country. He really has a knack for steals and putting pressure on point guards. If he had a shot heâd be a top 10 pick in the upcoming draft

I would have someone else bring the ball up other than Dotson just to neutralize Hagans. Maybe even stick Dotson in the corner a few times to frustrate Hagans and hope he gets overly aggressive trying to make a play and end up leaving Dotson for a wide open 3 or kick out that lets Dotson get an easy drive.

Forgot the cheerleaders

@wrwlumpy Nice work ⌠obviously your preferred pose and vantage point. I will stop talking now.
-
Man I wish Tyler Herro had stayed with Wisconsin.
-
ESPN milking this for every dollar. KU not expected to win at all. In fact, we might as well just stay in Lawrence the way the âanalystsâ have it figured. I just hope we get out of Lexington healthy. I donât even care if we win or lose at this point. Just stupid conference bragging rights at the expense of the players.

Good gawdâŚthat is the nastiest pic ever in college bball. Vitale is enjoying that a little too much. Judd is actually pulling away.
-
I donât understand how they come up with who plays in the challenge. Some of the better SEC teams like LSU, Auburn and Mississippi State arenât playing while Texas and KSU both have gimmies. I understand that WV was preseason ranked and that was a good match up with Tennessee when this was released but only 2 games look good to me, ISU vs Ole Miss and KU vs UK. Arkansas maybe able to keep it close with Tech but I wouldnât bet on it.
-
A few things Iâll be watching for is Devonâs play (which he will still be thinking about that WVU loss and his 7 TOs). Also⌠Dedricâs fouls are a concern because UK will feed the post with hopes to foul him out.
Iâm hopeful Q will come ready and show us something. If he doesnât, then I hope he at least stays away from making huge mistakes.
Pace will be a key. If we get the right pace and we get into a groove, we can win this game. If we donât, it could get ugly.
-
@wrwlumpy Hey thanks a lot, I just blew my breakfast when I saw the kiss pic. That may be a memory burn image I can never get out of my mind. Gag me with a pitch fork!!!
Now to a better memory. In junior high, I went to the first every basketball camp at William Jewell back when the Chiefs were still holding training camp there. It was the summer of 1980, I believe, when temps hit over 100, 17 days in a row; we were melting. And they gave all the air conditioned dorms to the NFL players and not the campers for some reason. AnywhoâŚmy buddy and I went into the indoor pool to try to cool off and there was this massive mountain of a man sitting in the corner watching his little kids play. It was Art Still. My gosh he was humongous. His little brother was a forward for Jewell who was helping run the camp. Art must have been tired from training camp because he just sat there, but boy was he intimidating!

@Fightsongwriter 6â7 253? Huge!

Theyâre doing it two years out now. So those teams sucked at the time. Bottom 4 SEC teams this year will be out for two years.

Sec Sec Sec!

@wrwlumpy JLaw needs to replace AJudd
-
@truehawk93 Jlaw is a Louisville fan
-
@Kcmatt7 Maybe then need to change it to where itâs is set closer to when the game are actually going to be played.

Coaches didnât like that when they were doing that before so they changed it.
-
@kjayhawks Shows how much I follow all things Kentucky. So JLaw should be all about the Yum Center? HmmâŚmight work.
-
@Kcmatt7 I donât think the coaches like anything lol, both Self and Cal have complained about this game as well as saying the champions classic is too early. The only reason this thing has been successful is the KU vs UK match up. ESPN saw dollar signs and took it.
-
@truehawk93 I donât follow UK or Louisville just remember seeing here on ESPN at a Louisville game. Jlaw could pull of anything and everything lmao

Definitely concurâŚbut we have quite the celeb and thank God sheâs not kissing nasty old Dick Vitale
Love the KU hat and she can pull off just about anything in my book, including a KU game.

Wings in the smoker. Beer has been cracked. Iâm ready.
-
@approxinfinity I wish you could have seen him in person. He seemed far bigger than that.
-
@Kcmatt7 Hickory, mesquite, apple?
-
@Fightsongwriter Hickory and Apple combo. Getting crazyâŚ
-
@Kcmatt7 Nice!

Lol well looks like my prediction of gimmies for KSU and Texas were off base. I hope KSU plays that bad against us (they wonât) they looked terrible today. Ok State with a surprise win over South Carolina and WV taking a fight to Tennessee early.
-
@truehawk93 we have some pretty good celebrities for KU. Rob Riggle, Jason Sudeikis and Paul Rudd to name a few. My KSU friends always give me crap about KU and Lawrence being full of gays, which doesnât really matter to me and itâs not accurate but their big celebrity is Eric Stonestreet, who isnât even remotely funny to me and is gay lol.
-
@truehawk93 thatâs just nasty - -makes him look like some pitiful old perv

Well for having gimmies â they got their ass beat - - guess they failed to get notified. - That K-State loss â -is a REALLY bad loss - for them - -for the Conference

Even by todayâs standards, 6â7 is a giant for a DE⌠Found some kids project where he analyzed averages by position:
- QB- Avg. Height: 75.43 in Avg. Weight: 224.97 lbs
- RB- Avg. Height: 70.73 in Avg. Weight: 214.48 lbs
- WR- Avg. Height: 72.40 in Avg. Weight: 200.32 lbs
- TE- Avg. Height: 76.54 in Avg. Weight: 254.26 lbs
- FB- Avg. Height: 72.33 in Avg. Weight: 244.43 lbs
- OL- Avg. Height: 76.75 in Avg. Weight: 314.16 lbs
- DB- Avg. Height: 71.69 in Avg. Weight: 200.10 lbs
- LB- Avg. Height: 74.04 in Avg. Weight: 244.64 lbs
- DE- Avg. Height: 75.82 in Avg. Weight: 278.99 lbs
- DT- Avg. Height: 75.22 in Avg. Weight: 308.97 lbs
- K- Avg. Height: 72.19 in Avg. Weight: 202.58 lbs
- P- Avg. Height: 73.77 in Avg. Weight: 214.32 lbs
- LS- Avg. Height: 74.48 in Avg. Weight: 243.76 lbs
Thats 3+ inches over the average DE now. Theyâre all monsters in weight now. But for the 80âs Art Still must have looked like a mountain to a middle schooler! Cool story.

No chance Tennessee-WVU finishes before the KU-UK game starts. Itâs going to go like 15-20 minutes over.

Odd for such a low scoring game.
-
@Kcmatt7 Low-scoring, but a foul fest. WVU already has 22 fouls. The clock doesnât move.
-
I am so sick of hearing this today and every other days. - -Maybe true but still - - itâs OH this is the year - gonna be somebodyelse winning the big 12 this year - -Iowa State really good. I tuly be this is going to be the year â KU going down the streak comes to an end - -Maybe so - -but it still runs through Lawrence - - -I can talk about our boys - -this is OUR boys - All I hear is Ku streak is over - - could be - but until the end Iâll wait thanks. - the old Missouri saying comes in pretty handy here - -SHOW ME
Then really sick of hear Jay Bilas Seth - -EVERYBODY wetting all over them selves about Kentucky today - -Kentucky - - -Kentucky â Kentucky - -screw Kentucky â could we get blown out - -SURE lots of length - -Dedric gonna struggle - but thatâs why they play the game - -after the game = =they whip us - - maybe Jay - -Seeth - -Dick and all the ESPN CREW may be they can meet in the locker room afterwards for a ig Circle that would be nice polish Dick vitaleâs crome lol. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@kjayhawks Not that it matters, as you say, but Stonestreet is not gay.
-
@kjayhawks UT and KSU with gimmeâsâŚobviously your crystal ball was broken
-
Just happy weâre healthy and no injuries. After that questionable elbow, my heart stopped momentarily.

@Hawk8086 And heâs hilarious, my favorite character on that show.

@tundrahok heâs really funny!

@Bwag I wasnât surprised as much that Texas was out coached again but KSU lost to a bad bad team that probably doesnât win 5 games in the SEC.

K-Straight had a REALLY BAD LOSS

@jayballer73 And that makes me think that there is a decent chance that they go through their annual down periodâŚ
