    Hey, not sure if y'all saw this about Samuel Grey Horse:

    https://www.statesman.com/story/news/fire/2025/01/10/horseback-santa-samuel-grey-horse-house-fire/77594420007/

    Who?  You know him - you've seen him so many times...

    He's a fixture on South Congress and loved by the music community.  His GoFundMe has already raised something like $32K (the goal was $25K).  Love to see the community rally around him.

     

    The 6th Street Cowboy guy is great. My daughter became friends with him a few years ago. She was married off S 1st last year and Sam came by with two horse.  My daughter and new son-in-law rode off into the sunset (well, S Congress and S 1st area). It was hilarious. (My daughter and SIL are both in the horse industry in Kentucky so made complete sense.)

    It absolutely should not stay at 12 and 4 byes are fucking stupid. 16 teams, no byes. Too much discrepancy in scheduling, SOS, quality of conference, etc. 

    You're right. It shouldn't stay at 12. It should go down to 6 or 8. There is only 2-5 teams max each year that are clearly better than everyone else.

    hmmm. so the loyalty points thing is new this year?  

    No.  It's been the process since the AD "Who Shall Not Be Mentioned" ran UT athletics into the ground. I'm old, but seems fair to me.  Been buying season tickets and donating to LHF since mid-80's. I should get credit for giving them money through the shitty years. Demand is just much higher this year so some people that used to get tickets are locked out.

  4. Hate 11am home games. But glad Kentucky is at night. Daughter (no pics - UK grad but UT fan) is a bloodstock agent (look it up!). She'll be working the Keeneland horse auction that day. She could only go if it's a night game.

    Am I supposed to know wtf that is?

    It's a blast. I'm planning to attend Keeneland on Friday. Hoping for Saturday night game so also can go to Saturday's meet. But I don't think ESPN gives a fuk about the horse races when determining tv windows.

  6. Every year, there are only 2 to 6 teams that legit have a case that they are the best team.  Usually it's 2 or 3.  I know I'm in the minority, but playoffs should be scaled back to 6 teams.  Have every game in the regular season matter. DeBoer, your team lost to Vandy.  You're out.  Ole Miss?  You lost to Kentucky.  Out.  S Carolina, get out of here.  You lost three games.

    Does OU not have an oil guy or five that just loves them and would give money to a good coach?

    Jonny Jones (Jones Energy) is one of their big donors.  Lives in Austin.  Donated enough pre-NIL to have one of the entrances to their stadium named after him. Maybe he's not aware of NIL. I won't tell him.

    Probably never. I’m sure they love how many of us are paying for ESPN+ to watch SEC+

    You don't need ESPN+ for SEC+.  It comes free if your streaming service has SEC Network (like Youtube TV).

    the format is stupid

    no college team has the pitching to win 2 games before facing your 3rd opponent's #1 starter

     

     

    That's the point.  If you finish in the bottom half of the regular conference season, it should be incredible hard to win the tournament.

    Let me fix the first line -- the format  a conference tournament is stupid
