Leaving Las Vegas: Random ruminations from the land of broken dreams

There's so much I need to say and want to say, but I'm sure this post won't do justice to my thoughts after a few days in the desert. * I thought there was a nice turnout of Dore fans at both the VU-sponsored tailgate party and at the game. There were a lot of former VU players at the tailgate. It's...

Re: Video: Clark Lea, WR London Humphreys, DB Trudell Berry pre-Kentucky interviews 9/19

I know I sound like a broken record, and this is not directed to anyone in this thread, but I wish media and fans would differentiate between players like Davis and Steen who took advantage of the extra Covid year to transfer and those who left with remaining undergraduate eligibility. I'm not sayin...

On a separate note, I thought you might still be in a checkout line in Vegas somewhere. 8-)

Re: Serious Question about Portal Usage and Vandy

Here we are back at the portal and NIL -- two factors that didn't exist before 3-4 years ago.
