In addition to having a program in chaos, Little Ricky's got some internal audit problems as well related to some pretty serious overspending - a trick he probably learned from daddy.

1) How do you expect Richie Rich to understand that things like private jets cost a great deal of money?

2) Norwood was probably hoping that Richie would bring back some ladies from his dad's 'stable'.

Gary Harris, Zak Irvin, Spike, Ron Buss Patterson as well as Kilroy's Sports visitors last night. Good times.

 

  1. By the time Lil Ricky "overspent" on these private flights, he had still spent less than half of what the IUBB staff spends annually.
  2. All of the excess spending was approved by his bosses in the athletic department.

Lil Ricky is a train wreck, but not because of this. He is terrible mainly because he's a crappy on-court coach, and because the players he recruits are of, ahem..."questionable character", at best.

After all he is learning some things from daddy.

I just read that my alma mater, Asbury, is playing UK as one of the cats exhibition games in November. That's a big deal for a little school like where I went. Go Eagles.

Was going to attend there back in '02 to play baseball on partial scholarship but ended up going to college in Louisville instead. You are talking about the one in Wilmore, KY??

Yes, that is correct. No one on campus cared when I was there, but I am anxious to watch this one. It's going to be on the $EC Network.

Austin Grandstaff is transferring from Ohio State to Oklahoma. Top 50 player coming out of high school.

Well that was short and apparently not so sweet.  From 247:

Multiple sources tell 247Sports that Oklahoma is parting ways with transfer Austin Grandstaff, a former Top247 four-star recruit who had arrived in Norman in January after starting his freshman season at Ohio State.

In 10 games at Ohio State, Grandstaff averaged 4.4 points per game in 11.5 minutes per game. He shot 33 percent from behind the arc.

Grandstaff was the No. 14 shooting guard in the class of 2015, per the 247Sports Composite, and the No. 54 player overall. The Rockwall (Texas) product was a prolific scorer averaging 29 points per game as a senior in high school, shooting 33 percent from three-point range.

Is there an issue with this kid?

Dan Dakich saying he is hearing interesting things re Caleb Swanigan. Will discuss on show tomorrow.

Swanigan treating this draft like Troy Williams. Both want out.

I believe I posted on here a few months ago he'd go if he could. I think there's a lot more going on there behind the scenes than pu fans would like to admit.

This has to have a tagline contest in the vein of 30 for 30.

"What if I told you...that a $100 million payroll doesn't guarantee total victory?"
