    Yeah, I took it out. But it's almost as funny as the article itself.

    Coach K at UK -- maybe that would get IJAG to convert.

    Who would you like to see as Kentucky's coach next season?

    Billy Gillispie

    Travis Ford

    John Calipari

    Billy Donovan

    John Pelphrey

    Coach K

    I tried to vote for Coach K just to piss off the UK fans, but you have to sign up to join their site, and I don't care that much. :D

    No way is Tubby taking this job.

    I could see Ford leaving Stillwater. He never really fit in at OSU.

    I feel bad for Billy's top assistant, whom I know very well. Very hard-working assistant........great recruiter......very very loyal to Billy.......some would say almost too loyal.....he'll get a D-1 head job within the next two years.

    If I were running UK and had to find a coach, my first two calls go to Izzo and Capel, probably in that order.

    Holy crap, if they hire Izzo, my hatred of that team just went to 11.

    And since Emery's out of business, he should be a fine choice.

    Wouldn't MSU to UK be a downward move?

    Capel will go to UVA.

    Talk radio people kill me... here, they throw out "Hey, Bammer should get Izzo. That should be a great hire."
    Yeah, but why the fuck would he want to go to Tuscaloosa and play second fiddle?
    If the dominoes fall where they should (or people here think), Donovan to UK, Grant to UF and Mike Anderson to Bammer.
    But what does UK have to Donovan? He's making 3.5 mill at Florida with nowhere near the pressure or stupid inbred fan base with unrealistic expectations as in Kentucky. When you're making 3.5 mill, would an extra 500K make up for the expectations and fans?
