Oh god, unwad your panties. It's a joke.

And yes, I've been to the Derby many times and I can still make a joke based on the premise that Louisville is a dump (because it is). And if you spend any time whatsoever outside of Churchill Downs (which ain't Saratoga) you probably will agree.

Have a great time.

Thanks for the good wishes.

My young adult daughter is very excited to be hosting dad & his beloved for the first time, so I'll do my best to keep your opinion to myself.

Have you ever had a positive tone or a post without sarcasm in your 3000+ posts here?
He's got to change his name to BigErnMcCRANKYburger because he primarily dishes out nonprime condescensions!

I know something about Fisher and UConn. It hasn't happened yet so will not talk about it because it's moot at this moment.
You mean uconns recruitment of Fisher? Or uconn and fishers separate recruitment? If you know Gilberts ours, please say so now.

People who say things like this usually know nothing. Have seen it time and time again here.

Pretty sure most Memphis fans are going to know about the recruitment of a Memphis kid or a Mississippi kid. Skal recruitment was one of the dirtiest I have seen. I be surprised if he qualifies with everything Hamilton did.

I'm ignorant and never bothered following him because I figured he was Kentucky bound and not considering us. What was dirty? No shocker with Hamilton.

Hamilton wanted funding for the made up team that he had Skal playing on. Skal was going to Memphis till the Tennessee board wouldn't let him play his senior year because he transferred. Hamilton got funding from an anonymous doner from Kentucky. He has also been looking for funding for his ministry and shopped Skal around high school to high school and AAU to AAU. He played AAU ball for Team Penny with Penny Hardaway as. coach. He asked Hardaway for funding and Penny said no so he took Skal on the Arkansas Redwings squad and then Let it Fly this past summer. Hamilton also had another Haitian refugee but kicked out the house because he couldn't fill Hamiltons pockets like Skal. It was just messed up all around and Cal wanted to ego trip on Pastner and mucked crap up. Too dirty for us to mess with.

If Fisher fulfills certain requirements. Some in his camp will start pushing him to UConn. He is a true PG.

Thanks Tiger. I really like this kids game, not sure what it is but I like it a lot.

wasn't there an article on this a while back? you might even have been the one to post it here. It basically laid out in plain terms that Skal would never be allowed to play college ball. It reminds me of when UK brought in enes kanter even though everyone and their mother knew he would never play (different situations, but presumably same outcome)

It defies belief that Cal would play with fire. He doesn't need to, but sometimes egos get the best of people.

Cal the legend, one championship to his name.

The more offers he gets, the less confident I am that he will commit to UConn.

Ok ok Zionn, give us something on Gibbs if this one is slowly becoming a "Next". ;)
We'll be in it to the end with Gilbert. Just because he didn't commit immediately doesn't mean we won't be a factor in his decision.

Yep Easterwood talked about it. He was trying to tell Hamilton he is making a mistake messing with Kentucky being how naive he is to having a high level recruit.

Is there any idication yet that Skal will be ruled ineligible? I'd love it, but I expect that he'll play this year.

Kind of an awkward interview, but Gilbert talks about his UConn visit starting around 4:30

(Talking about UConn) "I learned some things off the court, like academically where I need to be done when before I get there, or what needs to be done when I get there"
