@SecretCFO Explaining it to sellers in M&A

I’ve got a newsletter series coming up on working capital. What specifically would you like me to cover?

@ChipotleTweets Hwve generally tried to ignore the social media noise that the quality of your product and service has fallen off but my experience last night at your Newport, KY location has convinced me social media might be onto something.

@AdamLuckettKSR Do we know why he was transferring?

@paulswaney3 Integration

One final note: It is obvious that the administration has no plan, nor interest, in Langston or Rock Creek, and I would not be surprised to see them left to die or developed as condos. This is entirely about East Potomac, and trying to set up a lasting grift in central DC.

If you don't care about golf, that's fine. If your politics differ from mine, that's totally fine too. Some issues can involve politicians but still be above politics. There isn't any justification for this beyond a transfer of public land use to a wealthier class of people.

This hasn't resonated yet outside golf, but what this administration is essentially doing is taking over a national park for invented reasons so that the Trump Organization can run it and profit from it. Imagine if Yellowstone suddenly cost $1,000 but mostly served lobbyists.

@MoEgger Which press member asks Burrow if he had fun today?

With the exception of the brief burst of fun provided by Joe Flacco in mid-October, this has been one of the most thoroughly miserable Bengals seasons of my lifetime. And THAT’s saying something.

@AdamLuckettKSR Crazy when you think about the run of LBs the Cats had…

Other positions will come up first when we start talking portal needs for Kentucky but this is one that really needs to be addressed. Not enough player volume and no real experience outside of Godfrey. A position that UK did not check in the 2026 high school cycle.

Mark Stoops reset the culture of Kentucky football. He brought toughness, physicality, and grit at a time when the program desperately needed all three. More than that, the high points of his tenure here fostered belief. Streaks ended. Bowls won. Standards risen. Under his leadership, Kentucky became a program that, at our best, could compete with anyone. I’ll remember his era as one defined by competitiveness and genuine excitement. I was in the stands for much of it, and saw with my own eyes the energy around our state and inside Kroger Field on gameday when Kentucky football was right. For a long stretch, Coach Stoops made it right. I am personally grateful to Mark for everything he has dedicated to this program over the last 13 years. Recent seasons have been disappointing. The combination of factors required to win at the highest level of college football has shifted dramatically. For Kentucky football to take the next step, it’s time for the next chapter. Let’s go make it happen.

@clay_collins1 @RowlandRIVALS It’s in the contract. If I’m Stoops I tell Mitch to beat it if he wants to negotiate a buyout. Seems like a waste of time if that’s where Mitch and the admin are focusing their time right now…

@EGSpencer @RowlandRIVALS A reduced buyout I guess

Here's what we're hearing about Kentucky's football program as the weekend wraps up. on3.com/sites/cats-ill…

@KySportsRadio Very much looking forward to a defiant Mitch challenging us as fans assuming he keeps Stoops. That will not end well.

If Mitch Barnhart is going to make a change, he needs to announce it today If he isn’t going to make a change, he needs to announce it today Noise will fill a void left by silence, a principle that UK has too often forgotten

@AdamLuckettKSR Dislike

Stoops: "Zero percent chance I walk away."

I know not everyone is on page with this, but here’s hoping @UKFootball can notch an upset win over Vanderbilt to become bowl eligible and enjoy a remarkable comeback. Often, we’re quick to blame, but these kids/coaches want to win. After all, they do represent our Commonwealth.

@ChrisFisher247 It has never mattered less that Kentucky is a “basketball school” in today’s CFB and we are completely wasting it.

Indiana is ranked in the top-5 after making the CFP Playoff. Vanderbilt is 6-1 for the first time since 1950 after beating No. 1 Alabama last season. And we get to go back to work on Monday.

@KySportsRadio That winning kick sailing over Barnhart’s head was symbolic. We’ll get ‘em in year 14, I just know it.

Kentucky dominated the game except punt coverage But the same conservative play calling in key situations that has doomed so many Stoops games showcases itself again

It pains me to no end what has happened to @UKFootball program last 3 years with no progress seen for immediate future. Seeing Kentucky listed at bottom of SEC power listings by so many experts is not what any of us expected. UK leadership must step up, make changes. @UKYpres

It just needs to be said by someone with a platform that it's completely unacceptable for a great college sports fan base to be in a position where they're just told they have to eat it for an indefinite period of time.

No SEC program sans Vanderbilt should ever be in a position where you're spinning your wheels with no answers in sight, things are getting worse and not better, no identity and no obvious way out, but your AD is doing nothing to project that it could get better sometime.
