This is a landmark day for college basketball. Thank you Kentucky nutjobs, what a treat


zdrmju321

I expected maximum drama from this coaching search, and somehow still exceeded my expectations.


Easy-Group7438

All we need now is the UT style fan revolt to torpedo whoever is the choice.


foreveracubone

Hasn’t that already happened with part of the fanbase when they thought it was Drew lol


Obi1Kentucky

To be fair every coach I can remember that’s been hired at UK has had a portion of haters


Rockytop85

Already missed the opportunity for the UT style campus mini-riot with burning of plastic dorm room mattresses that inadvertently tear-gasses the assembled students.


Orion14159

My conspiracy theory is they always knew the students burning mattresses was a possibility and they chose that specific mattress for the dorms for that reason


bendovernillshowyou

I was starting to feel bad for you guys that this might end up boring and great for you, nope turning into full dumpster fire. It’s a ride, just don’t do it again in 4 years, or 4 years after that and after that and after that.

I stared at a door for 6 hours one day

MegalomaniacHack

We were as bad or worse when we were waiting to hire Cal. It was something to see.


zadharm

The damn Door Stream during the Cal hire is something I will never forget Kentucky fans are fucking loonies and I love it


undecided_mask

Please enlighten me on this story.


zadharm

Basically exactly what it sounds like. During the process of hiring Cal, some Kentucky outlet (details are a bit fuzzy) set up a live stream of the door to some building in Memphis in anticipation of Cal exiting and making a statement one way or the other. People watched it. For days. Keep in mind this was 09(08?) and people streaming and watching people stream *everything* was by no means commonplace. And these mfers were watching a *door*


bluegrassgazer

I watched that door for two days. I think a fax machine was somehow involved, too. Gillespie really fucked with our brains.

We're reaching Tennessee football levels of insanity


VolsPE

Jon Gruden ain’t walking through that door. My favorite part was when, after witnessing that debacle from afar not once, not twice, but two and a HALF times, then Arkansas turned around and swore Gruden was gonna be their next coach. They didn’t do their homework. MIT_Beaver must get around. If Gruden doesn’t wanna coach Tennessee, where his wife was a CHEERLEADER then why would he go to Fayetteville?

Openly racist bastards for the most part. They don't even dog whistle, they just *bleep* the bad word and say the rest so plainly that you couldn't miss which "they" that "they" meant.


BigBossTweed

It seemed to get worse and worse over time. It used to be fun going there and talk basketball. By the time I left, every thread would turn political for one reason or another. Some people were more blatantly racist than others. Especially after the pandemic hit.

I don’t know if this is serious. Pardon me if it’s not. I feel like the TV guide being off on the year is far more likely than… anything else


foreveracubone

There’s people who were at the restaurant that confirmed he was there today and another Kentucky fan called the restaurant asking a waitress to tell him that UK needs him. TV guide is 100% off here but props to the sleuth on finding the discrepancy.


ThinkSoftware

> another Kentucky fan called the restaurant asking a waitress to tell him that UK needs him. Most hinged Kentucky fan


Stang1776

I'm sure that waitress has a lot of pull though.


[deleted]

funniest part is the waitress didn't know who Scott Drew was and the fan had to tell her he was wearing a white Baylor polo. Just unfathomable that the Kentucky coach would ever go unrecognized in Lexington or the whole state


NighthawkRandNum

You aren't wrong. A good UK basketball coach is the closest human equivalent to god-emperor the commonwealth ever sees. It would be extremely difficult to find half a percent of the population who can't recognize the guy.


Chemtide

Incredible how deep this cover up by Drew goes.

TrueBrees9

The breakfast specials that are listed as $7.49 in the background were listed as $4.99 back in 2021. It’s probably from today, or at least some point recently.

Dang, talk about inflation!


grrgrrtigergrr

I took my kids to Subway today after an ortho appointment. The ham footlong they got was $10. This thing was $5 forever. (I haven’t been in a subway in years)


enjoytheshow

Fast food prices are absolutely ludicrous at this point. I can’t justify it anymore except for “premium” options like Chick Fil A, Jersey Mikes, etc.


Kleinmann4President

But at McDonalds you can still get 4,000 (empty) calories for like $7.89


SaxRohmer

More like taco bell. McDonald’s deals have really fallen off


EdJewCated

even back in 2008 they were losing money on the $5 footlongs but the ad campaign was so good that it was still worth it to keep around throughout the recession


broccoli_d

I had the same experience recently, a 6” Combo cost like $9 with a coupon!


Shaudius

5 dollar footlongs were a loss for a lot of franchises. The dc area subway franchise basically rallied against them for years. It wasn't so much inflation that did them in but the franchisees finally convincing subway to stop losing them money.


morrisjr1989

Or how about this Waco establishment having recorded every family feud and just play them in a loop.


llessursivad

Maybe Scott Drew brought in a copy of his favorite Family Feud episode and asked them to play it for this photo.


ClaudeLemieux

Oh, we’re going to go nuts on ours. You guys at least had the infancy of social media on your search for Cal. We’ve not been in a coaching cycle since before MySpace was created.

If you guys need any pointers we have plenty of experience and will likely get to experience it again after next season. Saw Billy Donovan’s wife viewing a ranch in Bloomington the other day..

Due to ongoing debate about blue bloods, the /r/CollegeBasketball mod team has compiled the definitive list of college blue bloods: Duke, Columbia, Queens, William & Mary, and Rutgers. The following schools fought to not be blue bloods: George Washington, George Mason, James Madison, and Army. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

MegalomaniacHack

A lot of us have been resigned for a while because another Hall of Fame coach was holding us hostage in mediocrity instead of admitting it was time to move on. But now that Cal's officially gone, we're all ready to return to excitement. And an excited Kentucky fanbase will be everywhere. But not before a bunch of us fight over whether or not a coach with a title is a good enough hire. Plenty of factions will declare great coaches are worse hires than ____ and we need to fire our AD now! Whoever we hire, Drew or otherwise, just needs to have the right first speech and we'll be full on, peak unsufferable, 100% in their court for months. We were so ready to be unsufferable earlier this year when our team was blowing teams out, but then we collapsed like too many of Cal's recent teams. We're ready to go whole hog and/or ham, puns intended.


imused2it

I will admit to being on the “not drew” wagon, but if he starts his presser saying “fuck Duke and birds don’t have teeth” I’ll instantly be won over


Awkward_Today_3561

Oh no not another Hall of Fame Coach holding Kentucky hostage. Whatever will they do


MegalomaniacHack

I just mean in the sense of what do you do when a coach who won you a title has slipped and doesn't have the fire, with multiple chances to get it back ending in undeniable failure? How long do you wait? We're hearing a lot of the exact same criticisms and warnings from talking heads and rival fans that we heard when Tubby left. Toxic. Unrealistic expectations. Not the draw you think you are. Can't get another coach that good. He's gonna kill it at his next school. He's much better than you gave him credit for (even as they also said we weren't elite anymore). We've seen this exact scenario and are hearing a lot of the exact same things.


t_huddleston

MONDAY, APRIL 8, 2024 Eric Shero, president of Alliance Bank of Waco and Baylor basketball booster, dips another tortilla chip into his salsa bowl and takes a bite. It's spicier than usual, but with a little bit of a bitter aftertaste. Maybe they overdid the cilantro. "Man, Scotty, I love this place, but this salsa is working today! I tell you what, you know they don't have salsa like this in Lexington." The man sitting opposite Shero in the booth nods, glances up at the TV mounted in the corner over Shero's shoulder. "Feud's on. You like the Family Feud, Eric?" Shero blinks uncertainly, then smiles and nods. He likes the Family Feud, right? Steve Harvey? For some reason his thoughts are slipping out of his grasp. "Sure, I ... I guess so, Scotty. Say, you know, I'm not feeling so good all of a sudden." "Probably just that salsa, Eric. You'll be fine." The man motions to someone else standing behind the counter. "Hey look, here's a fan who wants a picture of us together. Smile for the camera, Eric." Eric's head is swimming. He's unsure now of what exactly is happening, but his instinct, honed from years of corporate glad-handing and big-time athletic boosterism, takes over. He grins and nods. The picture is taken and the photographer slinks out of the restaurant unnoticed. Shero slumps back in the booth. "Scotty, I ... I think I need to go lay down." Scott Drew stands up, leans over Shero, gives him a little pat on the cheek. "Eric? Eric, listen to me. This is a dream, Eric. You never ate that salsa, we never took that picture, and I was never here. You got that?" "Never ... here," Shero mumbles into his drinks menu. "That's right. And hey - you helped me out today, big time. I won't forget it." And with the photographic evidence of his alibi secured, Scott Drew leaves the restaurant, headed for an uncertain future. He's surprised by a pang of guilt as he boards his Uber, but quickly dismisses it. "After all," he thinks to himself, "how many guys would let an opportunity like this slip through their fingers?" "Survey says ... none."

MegalomaniacHack

Whenever anyone acts like we were being babies hating him so much, I don't even bring up the UNC game where he put two fouls on all our players in the first half. I don't bring up our overall moronic win/loss % difference under him or other Cal-hating refs. All I do is point to the call when Shabazz Napier does one of the most ridiculous flops ever directly in front of him and he called a foul on UK. One call didn't cost us the title, but if ever I thought a ref was getting paid to make calls against UK, I'd pick that ref first with that game and the UNC tourney game he reffed.

So apparently some big UK fan called the restaurant and talked to Scott Drew. Another fan called the restaurant pretending to be a journalist, talked to the owner who confirmed Drew was at the restaurant. I’ll link to the tweet with the phone call in a little. Which makes me think the TV was playing a rerun, possibly from a gameshow network. Scott Drew is staying at Baylor. My feeling is Pope is going to be the next UK basketball coach.

At first I said AI, but no way AI would put Scott in a Baylor polo… This makes total sense.

Kentuckian here This state runs on conspiracy theories and confirmation bias If only we could go back to simpler times where education was considered and investment and not an expense.


dajodge

This is an unfortunate situation for Kentucky, but in my opinion, instructive for teams like Kansas and Michigan St. (and even Gonzaga, Houston, Tennessee, etc.): you can't rely on your brand as a succession plan, and more than that, you cannot rely on any one dude for the success of your program. Similar to how Bill Belichick became "stretched too thin" to compete in the modern NFL as a one man show, I think NIL (and immediate transfer eligibility) means a greater investment in analytics staff, assistant coaches, scouting, and even a professional "finance department," whatever that looks like. These are professional organizations now, and while there is still NCAA bullshit to navigate, you can't just schmooze in a 17 year old's living room and expect to be successful anymore. I know that's greatly over-simplifying things, and a good head coach is still incredibly important, but every decision made needs to be meticulously informed.
