FedEx is based in Memphis and is already very active in the community and with the school. A huge part of their local work force are Memphis fans. Would make zero sense to pump money to Ole Miss.
Standing in the box when a 95 mph fastball is coming your way is pretty scary for someone not doing it on the reg. Even scarier when you know the dude can also bury and 85 mph slider on your feet.
Nothing scary about golf except running out of beer on the back 9.
Miggy over Ty Cobb in Detroit is a pretty big whiff.
Also, as good as Pujols was for the Cardinals, he spent half his career in LA. Stan Musial and Ozzie Smith are names that come to mind before Pujols.
I actually think it’s a pretty solid hire. Been a coach for a while, has had some moderate success, runs a fun offense. Barnhart can sell the UK connection to smooth things over while fans are talking themselves into it. If he sucks, they’ll fire him in 3 years and take another run at Drew after...
Been too long since UK had to hire a coach. Now they done F’d around and gonna find out. Nothing like the humiliation of public rejection during a coaching search.
