Fran Curci on why Kentucky can't win at football The guy is exactly correct....

Curci says basketball and recruiting. One is too good, and one isn't good enough.

Curci was in Mobile on Monday night to address the New Horizons Credit Union 1st and 10 Club. Before the meeting, he met with reporters.

"We're getting into an area that you have to be careful," Curci said, "but I don't care because I'm 75 years old and it doesn't make any difference. Basketball is so dominant there to a ridiculous point.

"We win the SEC (in football), and I heard this rumor going around, and I went to (Kentucky president) Dr. (Otis) Singletary, who was a real buddy of mine. We played golf all the time. I said, 'Hey, Doc. I hear they're going to build a dorm for basketball players only. Is there any truth to that?' 'Well, these guys come up with this and it's going to cost $6 million. They can't raise that.' I said, 'Doc, they'll raise it in five days.' I was wrong. They did it in three -- all those coalminers up there and all those old boys.

Curci said Kentucky's devotion to basketball played a part in the Wildcats' recruiting difficulties: "(Tennesee coach) Johnny Majors would say (to prospective players), 'I hear you want to go to Kentucky, and I wish you would. It's a beautiful place. You'll like it there. And I hope that when you're there, you'll look at where the basketball players live.'"

What it takes to sustain success in college football might be more than Kentucky is willing to give, he said.

"People haven't yet accepted the fact that you have to have a commitment - a complete commitment - from the janitor to the school president," Curci said, "and I'm not quite sure they're ready to do that."

Tomlin should be fired. I have been wondering why the team has not been a disciplined group the last few years, now I know why, He is not disciplined himself.

the problem with that Crotch is all the hard core football fans - all 200 of 'em think the football should come at the expense of the basketball program.

Yeah we have those fuckers too. Morons that think when we spend $25 on basketball that could have been used for mahogany wood polish in the football locker room and probably cost us a win.

How does Ohio State believe they should deserve a chance at the MNC with that defense?

ballsy call by the Michigan coach. I guess he had no faith in his defense either or his running game for that matter.

Real ballsy. I agree. That was their chance to win. I like it.

i think that 99 yard TD is the back breaker

what a let down when you have a team backed up to the 1 yard line

Terrible spot on that 3rd down run...

Dave23 · Post by **Dave23** » Sat Nov 30, 2013 8:01 pm

Just watched it again...that 3rd down run might have been a 1st down. Can't believe Saban didn't challenge that...
