The House of Blue

UK was up at football media day yesterday and Matt had/has six stories and countless other notes stemming from that.

TOS had a basketball article as well. How many more days until Midnight Madness????

You mean live updates from highschool basketball off season tournaments full of players we may or may not get or care about is more important than a football season that is rapidly approaching and being discussed by our member conference by our team and teams we will play........absurd (obviously I feel your pain).

Again, 6 (six) fresh football articles on the site for your viewing pleasure.

You should know by now not to even waste your time, Chris. "Just ain't no pleasin' some folks"

I'm still unhappy they dropped the intramural chess coverage. Bad form.

And my comment was not directed at you, but society in general. You just can not please everyone unfortunately. AAU summer league is important, because coaches get to see recruits play and that is when offers go out. Summer AAU and early fall are the most important times for basketball recruiting.

In response to fans, I think the staff changed something from last year.

IIRC, originally, the stories at the top of the page were chronological in order. One Saturday, the game article got bumped out of the group of four with alternating pics at the top of the page by basketball stories (posted afterward) and people complained.

Now, in order to keep both sides happy, there is always at least one story from each sport anchored to the top of page listings. At least I think there is.

At this moment, in the Headlines column on the right of the screen (not the top of page articles) there are eight links, all of them football.

Note: I am not sure what determines whether an article is a feature or a headline. Last year the staff had a daily feature on a single player (or was it a group, I don't quite remember) that eventually covered the team but it went into the "headline" column instead of the "featured" column.

It's a whole lot sexier to hear about all the 5 star talent Cal is reeling in or has on the hook than it is to hear about some unknown, unrated or 2 star FB player that may visit that we're trying to beat out the Sunbelt, MAC and C-USA schools for, while hearing everyone say how underrated he is and then occassionally surfing any another SEC team site and see there board full of 5,4 and high 3 star commits with 10 new FB related stories and maybe 1 hidden basketball story in the last month or so..

Well, under that theory then we'll not post a single football story from Thanksgiving until spring football. That work?

how does some aau tourney relate to kentucky basketball? i wouldn't mind the recruits interviews like football gets during basketball season.

but i'm with the OP, come on its less than a month til fall practice is open, and yet the big thing is a summer league for a basketball?? i'd be fine with basically zero basketball coverage in the summer.

but again this is why kentucky has this stigma. do any other SEC schools have basketball articles or coverage whatsoever right now?
