I'm just wondering when you guys were introduced to burgoo? It originated here in my home town, and boy was I surprised to hear you guys mention it.

If you were near western KY then it probably was authentic. Burgoo is traditionally a soup. Made with mutton, several vegatables kind of like a stew.

I happened on burgoo on a trip to Kentucky several years ago, and now always try to find a restaurant that serves it when I pass through. It's not easy to find, but worth the trouble.

Now I see how UK was able to bring in 5 new players this year. Really odd to see 4 players leave a team when there isn't a coaching change. Hausfeld, Fisher and Edwards all saw significant playing time as well. I understand Edwards wants to set, so can't blame her, but I guess Hausfeld and Fisher and Marsh just weren't happy for whatever reason. They do return Britenriker, Nzenwa and Rumely, but the other spots are wide open, having to replace both outsides, the right side and the libero. Should be interesting in Lexington. It is amazing to me when a player transfers because of the lack of playing time, but this really blows me away. There can be many factors but past history does not give any indication that the coaching staff at UK is an Ohio State type of staff. If you know what I mean. It could be that do to the environment that our kids are brought today has made them soft regarding how to deal with a situation and prefer to walk away. I just can't remember when was the last day a player of any sport picked a school because of what they could provide academically as the main reason and they stuck it out disregarding the circumstances.

Let's make some wide-sweeping generalizations, shall we?
Here's one: How come EVERY report of a transfer is treated like it's part of some specific trend? How come they are never treated as if individuals were involved, with specific INDIVIDUAL reasons playing a part in the decision?

I agree with you Ruffda, everytime someone transfers everyone automatically assumes there is something dark and sinister going on. But you have to admit, 4 in one year smells a little fishy. It could be that all of them are unrelated, and we should probably wait to hear what the whole story is on each of them. But the fact of the matter is that we are on a message board, and what fun would that be.

ESTRELLA This is today's kids. It's happening in every sport. "If I'm not the center of attention, I'm leaving for greener pasture." It's almost as if the athletes today can't handle a little competition on the court. What ever happened to beating someone out for a position? The same thing is happening with some of the "blue chip" football recruits that Nebraska has landed. Kids are doing the same thing in HS at least in Omaha/Lincoln as our state association rules for transferring are LAME.

Couldn't have said it better. I also want to add that I think there are more transfers in women's ball because of a greater level of competition. Many teams, who were considered pretenders a while back, are turning into contenders. It's easy to leave a solid program for another nowadays.

Maybe people ought to consider that since there are more solid programs, PEOPLE expect to be treated like people, and lamo coaches who play mind games and treat their young people like crap are going to lose good athletes. I'm not pointing to any particular coach, but we all know that there are coaches out there that are simply not nice people. If I work for a lamo boss, I move on, and I don't think any athlete should be criticized for doing the same.
Even if the coach is a good person, if there is a better fit elsewhere, the person involved should go for it. Good golly - coaches recruit over their current players all the time. Why should these athletes have to see that and not do the same? Every program benefits from this process if the people involved care about people at all.

Well said romeo! People, whether they are employees of a business working for wages or athletes trading their services for an education, deserve to be treated with respect and valued for their contribution to the organization. If they feel they aren't receiving that at one place they speak with their feet and find someplace that does provide that.
Too often posters on this board blame transfers on the "spoiled athletes". Loyalty is a two-way street and I would expect both sides of the athlete vs. coach/school equation are responsible for the end result.
