Will the Cards be ranked?

Well said Rollem; your expressions reflect mine, and I suspect that Zipp’s reply to your post is accurate as well, as it contributes to the reduction in financial support from a lot of UL fans.

While I go back to the Frank Camp era in football, and the Peck Hickman era in BB; I became close friends with Bob Weber (God rest his soul), great person and was a great football coach who was deprived of the resources necessary to elevate UL further. I credit Bob for my introduction into financial investment of UL football.

I gave up my season tickets, along with my football & basketball Suites almost 10 years ago, for reasons that had nothing to do with my allegiance to UL. I was ready to return as a contributor at the bequest of TJ, until he left rather abruptly.

The subsequent introduction of NIL & Portal pushed me away even further, but hiring Brohm and Pat Kelsey is attracting me back in. I suppose that makes me a “fair-weather fan”.
I was losing interest in men's college basketball a decade ago as the sport was changing. And then we went torched earth in 2017 in the mistaken belief that fan and financial support for U of L athletics was deep and could withstand a total reset. Huge mistake that we may never recover from.

The sad part is that it didn't have to be that way. And while it's possible to fix some of the damage, we're too committed to the failed approach that has brought us to this point.

Better to cut loose and fondly remember what once was...

Pack the Yum!

I was listening to KSR for a few minutes this morning, Matty was making fun of PK for doing this. PK has always done that and I think it’s really cool that he does that.

I also think the KSR crew is in for a rude awakening about us, they were saying that their squad has much more talent than us. I almost think the talent is pretty even myself.

I’d love to watch Coach PK chop either Matty Bangs or Bangs’ fat, one eyebrow goon sidekick right in the throat.
