We got our first national title in basketball because Purdue wanted to go to New York City and play in the NIT instead. History has funny ways of repeating itself.

The Maryland job has to be open first. Maybe one of these days Locksley will be fired for real instead of via fake tweet.

As long as he didn't declare for the draft or sign any contract with any professional team, he should be good to go. The Big Ten is barring anyone who was drafted, anyone who signed with an NBA or G-League team, as well as anyone who declared for the draft and never withdrew. This was in the works for awhile...which made it a lot easier for someone like Matt Painter to virtue-signal and say they wouldn't take any of their former players back.

Everyone is so focused on where SEC teams get ranked, did anyone notice Oklahoma State is now #19 after winning a conference game for the first time since 2023? Beating Oregon snapped a 12 game losing streak, since then they've beaten FCS Murray State (1-4) and West Virginia. Looks like a top 20 team to me!

Pretty sure Locksley has been fired via fake tweet multiple times now.

I also like how UK snuck in at 24 after a home win over South Alabama where they were only up 10 going into the fourth quarter.

#5 might be a little generous. I'm not as down on us as some people here, but right now we look a lot more like an 8-4 team than somebody trying to make another title run.

Love how the clip ends with the official saying "the game is not over..."

We should be playing Notre Dame. Purdue is way out over their skis, not surprisingly.

We're not as good as last year, and maybe not two years ago, either. And there's no shame in that.

Well...that wasn't fun. Had a feeling that not scoring on the first drive would come back to haunt us. We got the safety on the next play, but 17-0 early in the second half is a much safer lead than 12-0. Short yardage continues to be a problem for Cignetti teams. Not sure why. Just our weak spot, I guess. Aidan Chiles has another year left thanks to 5 in 5. For the love of God, I hope NU isn't on our schedule next year or that he doesn't transfer to someone who is.

A sense of power and control.

We'll have to be a lot better than last season or some of them may not stick around.

Five years ago, we snuck out of WKU with a 33-31 win. We didn't win another game after that. We just beat WKU 38-0, out-gained them by over 300 yards, had no turnovers and only two penalties, and it's getting labeled as an "uneven" or sloppy performance. Crazy world we now find ourselves in.

Never forget all the complaining at halftime of the Kennesaw State game last year that we had a long way to go and 2024 was a one-year wonder.
