Good one humper, so that is what that kid was doing crouched down in the corner getting a little competitive edge by applying a little of the that possum grease.

It's hard to win games when your starter gives you six innings and the pitcher's that relieve him can't get an out after faceing 12men and giving up 9runs to stop the bleeding. It's been UF's story all year long minus the first qtr of the season when they were winning series against Tease A@m LSU which LSU is struggling as well. It seems as since UF was swept by Mizzou a team at the bottom of the standings the wheels have fell off for UF.Although I would like to see UF make the SEC and NCAA tournament. I have no faith in their pitching since it is so suspect. minus Jac

This UF team is in serious jeopardy of not only missing out on the SEC tournament,but also the grandaddy of them all the NCAA tournament. My the nighty have fallen so far. Started the season ranked top 5. Pitching seems to have done them in this year. I know they are young,but looks as if Sully should have used the transfer portal to acquire an experienced more mature couple of arms. For his rotation.Jac is the only one that they can rely on and five them 5 or more innings of work where they're still in the he game. Seems as all the freshmen starters I've seen especially the FSU games even in many of those UF took the early lead only to see the young arms getting run ruled and even though there are many young pitcher's no one ever was there to come in and stop the bleeding. They have South Florida on Tuesday.then a series with UK and Georgia to end the season. They pretty much have to win out in order to have any shot of it. With there pitching being so sketch it's going to be a tall order.

Who knows if UK wanted to go in this direction with a young coach it sounds like. UK fan's have to get on board and support him. With what he did at BYU we can all only imagine what he can do at UK with the talent he will be able attract to UK.UK has and will always be a traditional great basketball program.Pope will just be the new era of that same program

If they hire him BBN will come unhinged.UK has the bucks. Hope Donovan doesn't make the playoffs and pony up and make him an offer similar to what there suggesting in the article00

Sounds like the job is his if he wants to deal with the New Era of Recruiting and NIL. UK has a collective with plenty of money to use at Donovan's disposal. They have to right? They had to keep the collective kept up with the bucks to sign all CJC recruiting classes to all of their NIL deals.

I'm sure he'll do just fine with his number two recruiting class loaded with 4and 5starplayers and strips UK'S roster as much as he possibly can. Plus hell have that chip on his shoulder that he'll want to be at UK and their Fan's for doubting him.

Billy Donaven

Hey he brings all those 4 and 5 star players with him. I believe you will get Cal's best now apparently what MB said to CJC pissed Cal off. Leads to why he's going to Arkansas. I think it a good move for Arky if Cal's out to prove all those at UK and the fanbase say he can't coach. UK doesn't have to pay Cal's buyout so they can get almost whoever they want. I'd like to see Billy Donovan get it. I think he may be over the NBA. He was an assistant under CRP when he was at UK and CBD was the coach in waiting under him. Then billy went to UF before all that happened and we all know what Donavon did there. I don't know if Donovan would want the jo,but he would be the first I'd ask.

College Basketball and. baseball also. The three biggest money generating sports for the school's.

You can't win them all.Especially in this new age of college football with NIL and the Transfer portal.

Well Doug. I do understand that finishing in the top 4 of the final poll isn't up to Bama standards,but there is a hundred or so other team's who would be happy to still finish in the top five when the final poll comes out next week. I guess when your a dynasty or close to becoming one like in UGA'S case it's Championship or bust.

If he was to leave .He would have already been gone. I was told by someone who knows his father well that he being DJ wants to be the one to start the turnaround at UF getting high level recruits to come there and join him to make FLa great again weather Napier is there or not.

Don't forget about lagway.that Kid will be a baller. Isn't he like 6'4 258pounds. I've gotta feeling he is going to bring you guys a Natty. He may even be the Starter when season gets underway. Last time Fla signed a kid like Lagway was a young man named Tim Tebow. Who brought Gator fans the hardware home. Lagway could have signed any where. He signed with UF even though UF is down. Could have bailed like some of the other recruits stuck with his commitment. Who knows maybe he gets UF back to the top of the mountain. I hope he does not many kids out there like him. Sticking around with all the talk of Napier being on the hot seat.

Can NC State keep their dream alive by beating Perdue? The Burn's Edy matchup will be critical.The way they no call games against Edy Burns could see himself in foul trouble and early.They will need him if they are to survive and advance. NC State needs to let Edy get his without all the fouls and freethrows he was gifted against UT. State plays good defense and can shut down the supporting cast as long as Burns isn't in foul trouble for an extended amount of time or fouled out.NC State has had a he!! Of a run would like to see them keep it going.

I really thought that if Edy got his and UT shut down his supporting cast that UT would win 72-65 although i called Perdue Iowa getting a dig at Iowa's football team for its non scoring offense.i thought if UT held Edy to his average witch was 26. I wasn't expecting the ref's to give him another 14 at the line. I also thought UT needed to shut the supporting cast down let Edy get his and they would be ok. I didn't see the game but sounds like UT failed to do that with Edy getting 40 and the supporting cast getting 32.I thought UT's defense would need to hold Perdue in the sixty's to win and that Perdue would have their shots not falling because of UT's in your face defense.it end d up UT had the cold shooting night not Perdue. Hold your heads up Vols. You fared much better than the rest of your fellow SEC team's not named Bama.the way UConn is playing I don't know if Bama can beat them. I'll be rooting for them though.If UConn plays Perdue in the Championship game I hope they don't call it like they did the way they called UT vs Perdue. If it's called that way you may as well give Perdue the Championship before it even starts.

Bama takes this one. Bama playing good ball at the right time. Uconn looks unbeatable,but it will take a team like UT or Bama that can shoot and make a large percentage of three's to take the defending champs down.

Good to see Sully mix it up UF has some good young freshmen pitcher's on their roster who need more in game pitching and to improve and give them more confidence. The two games against FSU the games were over by the Third inning. UF had beaten FSU seven straight until the last two which were losses by UF. Fla even though the losses are beginning to mount, they have taken the series against A@M in Gainesville,which at the time A@M was undefeated then last week went to LSU and captured the series in that matchup and are back at home and have won the first game of three against Mississippi State.As long as they keep winning two if three they'll be ok and maybe a few of these young pitcher's can take the mound and be successful in the mid week games.

UT will take the Hawkeye's down. They don't need to concentrate on Edy. Let him get his points. It's hard to stop a seven footer who is so close to the basket. Trying to stop him will only get UT's player's guarding him into foul trouble because the ref's don't call fouls on him. UT needs to shut down the other player's around Edy with their lock down defense. Iowa hasn't really played anyone who could test them and they've had an easy draw in this tournament so far. They Iowa also hasn't had a game where the shots aren't falling. UT can be the team that can make it tuff for the supporting cast to have shots falling consistently. Let Edy get his 26.the remaing cast hold below their average and Tennessee wins and represents the SEC in the Final Four. Something that has eluded UT for quite some time. My bold prediction UT 72 Iowa 65

That has to be a type error. Bacot having 21 steals.

I hope Bama wins. I can't stand University Noisy Cocky.

Sure didn't help hiring Kenny Payne which coached for the Knicks when Louisville hired him ,but he was an assistant at UK under Coach Cal I know for at least four years ,maybe longer. He definitely can't be no worse than what Louisville had become under Payne. Kelsey at least plays and offensive type of game to where his team scores and shoots the three. May worked for Fau and Golden seems to have UF on an upward trajectory.

Even though I was critical of Napier and his staff in my earlier post . Since Princely was so negative about his coaching and threw all his dirty laundry out there in the open. I hope whoever on the o line is blocking him works him over well and UF beats Ole Miss that Saturday so Mr Umanmielen has to eat a lot of crow and humble pie.

I'm quite sure after his sit down with Mr. Barnhart he knows what time it is.He may not make all the changes he says needs to be made, but let him lose to a 13 or a 14 in next year's NCAA tournament.he'll be gone the next morning.Mr Barnhart is trying to honor his lifetime contract to Coach Cal,but he also is aware BBN isn't happy about it. Coach Cal is getting these freshmen recruited and to the NBA.will he be able to recruit these experienced senior's out of the portal. I guess we'll find out.

I think the biggest factor to him and Etienne transferring even though Etienne said his move was because he was miffed about not being a starter. These guys want to play for championships and be on a competitive team. They didn't go to UF to win five and six games when they signed with UF. The decision to stay might have been easier say if Florida may have won a few more games. I'm not knocking Napier,but his in game coaching decision's alone may have cost Florida a few games. Him and his army of staff are still as unorganized as the same team that took the field in Napier's first season. Examples,two player's on the field with same number and running the field goal unit on the field with no time-outs in the Arkansas game and getting a penalty to push the attempt back five yards.especially the numerous time he attempted to go for it on fourth down on his side of the field.Those things that may have worked at Louisiana,they don't in the SEC. I like Napier and want him to succeed but in my eyes they meaning him and his staff have a lot of work to do in the organizational department to get that team to where it is a well oiled machine.

So if he is to be relieved of his coach's duties tommorrow will be the day. Sound like CJC is saying what everyone is looking for,but does he have change in him. It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks. I guess if he makes it though his sit-down with Mitch and his 33 million buyout we'll have to see next season on how serious he is at making the changes he states need to be made. If he makes his changes is his coaching going to get him over the hump winning Championships vs getting guy's to the NBA. It seems to me that if you have had 35 first round draft picks on your team you should have more than one National championship.

You may have just jinxed them humper.I guess we'll find out when they play next.

A little worried about both of us hear teams. They've both already are close to matched or are close to meeting their loss total from last year and here we are only two weeks into SEC play.

What was up with all the chippy play in this game. Both benches were warned LSU had a player ejected ,then their manager. Good series win for the Gator's. They look like they can hit the ball like last year ,but their pitching sure is shaky besides Jactani.he was a liability on the mound last year. You can definitely see he worked on the control issue he had in the off season.Nice to see. He is a great player.UF with the their record is struggling with their young pitcher's,but I have won their first two series's.

The problem with CjC is he's such a good recruiter because of his track record on getting his guys to the NBA. He's had thirty-five first round draft picks since he's been at UK.these kids he's recruiting aren't going to UK to win National Championships. Their one and done looking for that NBA payday.UK fan's have to pick their poison with Cal. Keep letting CJC go after these one and done number 1 draft picks hope they hit lightning in a bottle and hope he wins a Natty every seven to ten years or make him recruit a different type of player's. Ones that are committed to stay three four years. Then Cal might not be such a good recruiter developing those players. I'm with all UK fan's on coach Cal being a good recruiter but a not so good xoach
