So much misinformation out there…but FWIW.... from a UK beat writer about an hour ago




That struck me as Kentucky walking things back. Could be wrong of course just my first thought when I read that.

As a CBS analyst, perhaps he should have checked with the local CBS affiliate sports anchor before posting. But then again, finding his *ss with both hands has never been Seth's strong suit.

I think he's just having fun with it, same as Drew. It's for entertainment purposes only . . . no wagering please . . .

Unfortunately, most of the public is going to take chip gains Mom come back as if he slept with her. Of course we all know he was simply talking about their mom's being a fan of the show. He'll probably have to clarify those remarks some point.

Most of the public isn't that dumb! Can't speak for people on this board though.

So where do we stand now? Some sort of decision coming tomorrow despite the people in Drew's orbit strongly hinting he's not going anywhere?

Has he told Kentucky no and they don't have a clear target now?

It's confusing at this point.

In my opinion he has not informed either place what his intentions are. Ashley thinks we lead slightly. But he isn't positive sure either way. Tomorrow seems to be the day.

Yeah I heard that interview, it sounded like Ashley had little more than armchair speculation.

UK fans seem to be all knowing so check whichever joeblow's twitter account if you want to see where things stand. It's amazing how many ways people have thrown things against the wall to see what sticks.

I'm not a media expert but do people do this to try to entice a reaction out of either camp?

It's an S-tier tweet. He knows that most people will take it as that, but he also knows that he's 100% right and this guy's mom absolutely knows who he is. It works on so many levels.

Chip's twitter game being so strong might be the biggest revelation to me out of this entire saga.

I would say more than a "tad".

Seriously? I want him to stay as much as anybody, but worst case - if he leaves - we will get another coach, and Baylor athletics as well as life will go on.

There is a new thread on one of their sites that has been started recently naming the next tier of candidates, including Pearl, TJ, etc. So, they're just as confused as us I guess.

I mean If he does leave after this tweet, it goes down with like Petrino saying he's not leaving, Calipari denying he's leaving, level events lodged against the fanbase. Not sure how it wouldn't be viewed as a massive blow to his reputation.

He's not a twitter troll like Kiffin who could get away with this.

Agree. He wouldn't pull this stunt on Baylor folks in his final day or two of being our HC. If he would, he perhaps is not the as good a person as many have grown to believe, me included.

I think this tweet, and the UK BMD's private jet allegedly flying back from Waco without Drew et al with no announcement today seems to add up to Drew saying no. Note I say allegedly. I have no idea it is true the UK BMD guy even came in today to make the pitch.

Yeah no kidding. The only thing that worries me is a lot can change in the next 24 hours. One thing is for sure if he turns Kentucky down I don't think we have to worry about other schools anymore.

Meh. Everyone has short memories these days. Two weeks from now, no one will care what shirt he was wearing. They'll just remember what he did here overall.

Logistically if you're really considering leaving you push back your lunch with boosters.

Calipari had a .753 winning percentage at UK. He led them to a championship, two more final fours, 3 more elite eights and another sweet sixteen. And they wanted him gone for not advancing farther that the first weekend in the tourney since 2018-2019.

He had the number one recruiting class coming this year. Previous years (247):
2023: 1st
2022: 5th
2021: 2nd
2020: 1st
2019: 2nd
2018: 2nd
2017: 2nd
2016: 2nd
2015: 1st

Uh, I can see why Drew or any other successful coach might think twice about heading to Kentucky. I am very thankful Coach Drew is in Waco and hope that he says AS LONG AS HE WANTS. I hope the UK fans clamoring for Pearl (!) or Beard (!) are happy in a week or so.

I commend CSD for daring to wear a white shirt while eating salsa. If he's leaving, he won't have to worry about washing it. If he's staying, get out the Spray N' Wash.

Have you been to the University of Kentucky? It's a campus two blocks from downtown Lexington. Rupp Arena is not even on campus, though close. The players practice in an arena on campus, but play their games in the downtwon arena. Lexington may be a pretty town, but it's also dying town…. their largest employer other than UK is Smuckers. Yes, there has been revitalization downtown, but it's still an OLD, OLD town with little of the growth than one sees in this part of the country. It's a state university, in a dying part of the country. The myth that was Kentucky, like the myth that is Louisville, is holding on to its past and hoping that no one notices the world, and most of college athletics, have passed them by.


You have seen Whacko… right????
