I wondered if the Strong to Ewe-Tee thing was a money-seeking deal and now we have our answer. People are motivated by different things, but money seems to play a role in so many of these coaching deals. Good for Charlie.

Now, if those Louisville fans would be as passionate and supportive in droves like the Big Blue Nation, Strong would have everything marked off his Christmas List. LOL (I kid, I kid...don't everybody get all butt-hurt.)

Oh, and no heartburn or jealousy from me over the Yummy Center. I think it's great. Nice venue. Good place for NCAA Tourney Games that will be like home-crowd games for Kentucky sometimes, like Duke and North Carolina get every year in their regions. Good for the economy too.

I'm a Rupp Arena fan, have been all my life, and see no real reason to burn it down and build a new one. I hate the atmosphere for cupcake games, but it's a raucous place for marquee games. I think it could be a lot better, but that's another thread for another day.
