@JStreble82 The complete lack of urgency surrounding this program is surreal.

He had two years to do it and didn’t going into the most important offseason in his career. He doesn’t deserve another chance to hire a GM. Too little, too late. The damage is done. What would hiring a GM now matter? Portal is dried up and no recruits. This is nonsensical.
Matt Jones@KySportsRadio

I think there is a chance that at some point in the near future, there will be a push within UK to force Mark Pope to hire a GM, whether he wants one or not

@KatieM606 Interesting. I’ll have to mull that over. No doubt on #2 (SEC! Wooooo!) but the other two need some contemplation on my end.

@KyJoeCox See, my humble opine is that Derby Louisville (specifically), UK Football tailgates, and Bardstown are the only “traditionally” southern things we can claim.

As a lifelong Kentuckian: Alabama. Georgia. Mississippi. Louisiana. South Carolina. Tennessee. Honestly even Texas in a tertiary way (Texas is its own brand). Kentucky has like two cities and one whole county that strike me (again, a KYian) that strike me as “southern”.
Amiri King@AmiriKing

Kentucky is the most ‘southern state’ in the US. That’s a hill I’ll die on. Moonshine Bluegrass Horses Hillbillies Bourbon Fried chicken Name a state more southern than Kentucky. I’ll wait.

@rayfp I can only hope that as the quantity of beers increases, the quality of bootleg decreases. A fall-down pass through ‘91 Stuttgart?

@SethDavisHoops I have noted that in most sports disputes, somebody starts losing money which forces a reckoning. If everybody makes money, there’s no incentive for reckoning.

The reason we have unlimited free agency is because in 2023 the NCAA denied a waiver to a basketball player at West Virginia. With the school's encouragement and support, the state AG recruited a dozen other states plus the US Dept of Justice to mount a legal assault on the transfer rule. That forced the NCAA to pass a new rule allowing players to transfer as often as they want without having to sit out. The reason we have zero salary cap is because despite many years of expensive legal wrangling to produce the House settlement, schools and coaches are basically operating as if it never happened. The CSC and NIL Go might as well be canasta clubs. It's a money laundering shell game with no enforcement and no proper scrutiny. The very same people who complain the loudest about the system are the ones who created it. As for a union and collective bargaining, not only is that legally improbable and logistically unfeasible, but the players have no incentive to create a CBA which would limit their freedom of movement and/or compensation. Players are making a killing off the current setup, which simply requires the NCAA to follow the law as it is currently written. Why would they want a CBA? And why is it a problem for so many people that players are finally benefiting from the exponential growth and profitability of this sport? Meanwhile, within the last few days at least three players, including two projected lottery picks, turned down the NBA to come back to college. Dozens of quality Euros are also playing in college. Rick Pitino and many others say the quality of play is better than it has been in decades. Coaches salaries are going up, players are finally making what they're worth, and TV ratings are through the roof. And now college hoops has legit free agency, which means many people are paying close attention to the sport at a time when they otherwise wouldn't. To call this "a great plan" is to suggest that all of this was planned. It was not. This is a full-scale disruption, and it was long overdue. Messy, chaotic, confusing and dizzying, yes, but on balance a much better system than the one it replaced IMHO.

@SethDavisHoops Unlimited free agency and zero salary cap is a great plan? What professional sport operates this way?

@MatthewSitman Loved those days and in fact, I go back to cassette tapes. Woodstock was one of the first ones I got. Took me a couple listens to really dig in, but once I did, it was an early favorite for me.

To explain: back in the days when I was in high school and you couldn't stream or download any Bob show ever, you had to trade bootlegs by mailing each other CDs (swapping x from your list for y from theirs); I vaguely recall Woodstock 1994 not being highly regarded then

Is there a consensus take on Bob's set at Woodstock 1994? I'm a long time defender/lover of it, which for a while felt like a somewhat contrarian take. But pondering such matters once again this evening I realized I don't actually know its reputation among fellow Dylanologists

@nut_history I wonder about some scoring changes. If a pitcher goes 5+ and leaves with a lead and his team wins, he gets a win? Something like that could make it possible again.

Do you think will see another starting pitcher reach 300 career wins in the next 40 seasons?

As a guy who reads a fair number of Bob Dylan books, this is the best one I've read in a while. Coming on the heels of the disappointing second volume of Clinton Heylin's massive biography, this is exactly the book I needed to read. Interesting and enjoyable!

If anyone is looking for a GREAT read, look no further than this gem. On a side note, it was an absolute shame this man was NOT induced into the HOF before he past.....missed by 1 vote a few months before he died.
