- Mitch won’t approve alcohol at sporting events.
- Mitch won’t make NIL a priority.
- Mitch won’t approve new practice facility even though Cal has funds secured.
- Mitch wouldn’t let Cal apologize for “basketball school” comment.
Odd decisions for an AD to make.
Been a crazy last 16 hours in my head.
10:00pm - “WTF!?!? He hired him? This is going to kill the program.”
12:00am - “I’ll root for him, but it ain’t gonna work.”
5:00am - “Maybe if he gets some dudes, we’ll be decent.”
3:00pm - “POPE IS GONNA BRING US
#9
!!!”
With the season officially starting tonight, I made up another version of a new court. I took a page out of the NBA’s book and put CBC in the endzone instead of on the court.
Bill Self has been at Kansas since 2003 and only has 1 title. No one calls him a bad coach or hear about their fanbase wanting him fired. This tournament requires a lot of luck and it’s only getting harder with talent being spread more evenly.
Kentucky is confusing.
Hopkinsville - Not in Hopkins County
Russellville - Not in Russell County
Franklin - Not in Franklin County
Nicholasville - Not in Nicholas County
Madisonville - Not in Madison County
Owensboro - Not in Owens County
Pendleton - Not in Pendleton County
Z would have been better off getting arrested.
Oct 14: Big Z arrives on UK campus
Oct 29: Nae'Qwan Tomlin arrested for fighting in a bar
Dec 8: Nae'Qwan Tomlin enters transfer portal
Dec 12: Nae'Qwan Tomlin transfers to Memphis
Dec 22: Nae'Qwan Tomlin cleared by NCAA
We don’t need to copy other schools. How about we throw it back to the denim days from time to time? Added some cursive to give it a more retro feel.

Now that the checkerboard issue seems to be getting corrected, let’s get the court fixed! This design brings back the blue circle at mid-court along with the UK logo surrounded by 8 stars. I also added Lexington, Kentucky because I always liked that it included the city name.
Why would Stoops even consider Nebraska? He now has Kentucky becoming a major contender in the best football conference in the country just as they are expanding the playoff. Could be huge.
And he just opened a bourbon distillery here. He’s one of us now.
It still royally sucks that Kentucky lost to Saint Peter’s, but I oddly feel better knowing they are no fluke. These kids are tough and better than they were given credit for.
The denim was too cool not to do again. Here’s a more modern version I designed with some throwback elements. It always bothered me how squished the KENTUCKY wordmark was on the originals so I replaced it with a more traditional typeface and a slight block shadow on the number.
Arkansas fans keep telling me that Jaylin Williams has had a double double in literally every game this year. I just went and looked. I guess they forget about the 15 games he didn’t have a double double.
On my court rant again. I’m still perplexed at the fact we are entering the 4th season with big blue rectangles on the court of the 8X national champions. It’s beyond time for a change.
Mother-in-law - “What are you thankful for?”
Me - “I’m thankful Kentucky is good again this year.”
MIL - “What else?”
Me - “And that we have a point guard.”
MIL - “Anything else?”
Me - “And that we have Oscar.”
Since UK released the Ivisic Shrug photo, I thought it would look even better as an SI cover. Happy with how this version turned out. Great chance I’ll be printing this version for my office.
Thought it would be kinda neat to see where the counties overlayed on the new state silhouette on the court.
Side note, Tayshaun’s 5th 3 was from McLean County. 😳
Just went back and looked, the 1st half spread was 6. Between this and the foul immediately at the other end, I’m gonna need a tin foil hat because I think Shows was doing some shady business.
