I just read that he held two hour practices....................... on game day. I just don't have words to explain what little sense that makes.

The guy had a system that worked in College Station and El Paso. I don't know why it failed in Kentucky.

I was such a BG homer. I am sorry it didn't work out for him.

I think it was partially the types of folks you get to Kentucky. At UTEP and even A&M he got more of lunchpail guys, who might be more open for that sorta Basic Training stuff. His early season training program at A&M was pretty legendary(or notorious) actually. I remember several articles of the hell he put Acie Law and company thru.

I also thought he'd be successful in Kentucky. I think a number of things prevented him from being a good fit there. But i do think he'll go somewhere else and win.

Kentucky had 13 losses this season, the most in school history. How many did JJ have this year, last year, the year before that, all three of his 20 win seasons. Different programs, different standards.

      Softball vs. UAB (4/17 & 4/18/25)

      Mother Nature disrupts another softball series. With Easter on Sunday, and bad weather expected Saturday, the ladies will play one game tomorrow and a doubleheader Friday starting at 3 PM. Tight race in The American as we enter the last three conference series. UNT needs two wins this series to match their win total from last year. I maintain getting a top two seed is the highest priority but we are right there with #1 FAU and hold the tiebreaker, the only team in the conference to do so. Other Series This Weekend FAU @ East Carolina Memphis @ South Florida UTSA @ Charlotte Wichita State @ Tulsa I don't foresee South Florida or Charlotte losing this weekend, so a sweep at home against UAB is almost necessary.

      WBB: Transfer Portal

      Thought I'd share some good news in this thread. Taller than Lampkin and NCAA Tournament experience.

      We’re not alone

      I read somewhere before the teams were even seeded that Florida, Auburn, Duke, and Houston were a step above every other team. There was some metric/stat they showed to back up the statement. So, yes, I think those teams were accurately seeded…though TT almost had something to say about it.

      WBB: Transfer Portal

      https://dentonrc.com/sports/colleges/mean_green/unt-womens-basketball-team-looking-at-nearly-complete-rebuild-after-players-head-to-portal/article_cf093cbf-6ff4-44de-a70d-4f4892172cb2.html Brett Vito is reporting in his article that Hardaway, Deck, Wooten, McGrew, and Duncan are all in the portal. He reported also that Johnson left towards the end of the season. I knew I didn't see her any longer, but I thought maybe injuries, but it turns out she left like Abou did a few years back. Brackens went into the portal and has since landed at Tarleton State. The only people he says that are coming back are Tac, who was injured all season, Chania Price, and Talley.
