Holding on for a narrow 4-3 win, the UK baseball team advances and lives for another day. Greg Dumbroski gets the win with a little help from his offense. Andrew Albers gets a FOUR-INNING save. Wow. And the bullpen was sort-of saved, with only two pitchers used. Of course, this win came just four hours [...]

Jasper Transfer Official
Posted: 31st May 2008 by Kenny Colston in Derrick Jasper, Kentucky Basketball, UK athletics, UK basketballI guess UK Athletics wanted to sneak one in on a day where everyone is focused on the baseball team in Michigan. But the official word that Jasper has seeked his release dropped about an hour ago. Well wishes Derrick, because I’m afraid everything that could have been said has been said. No use in [...]
Michigan Stops UK Comeback.
Posted: 31st May 2008 by Kenny Colston in John Cohen, Kentucky Baseball, ncaa regionals, UK baseball.It was a weird situation, an 11 a.m. start in the bottom of the fifth of the game the night before. But UK baseball made it interesting before failing 7-5 to Michigan today. UK gave up a run each in the fifth and sixth, in what proved to be the winning runs for the Wolverines. [...]
Kentucky Fan Friday Night Viewing Schedule.
Posted: 30th May 2008 by Kenny Colston in Kentucky Baseball, ncaa regionals, rajon rondo, tayshaun prince, UK baseball.Because it’s TGIF and that usually means time to watch sports for me, I’d figured I’d share the wealth of Wildcat viewing tonight. First off, the UK baseball team plays at 7 p.m. in Ann Arbor. Sadly, this isn’t on TV (to my knowledge), but you can always follow online with the live stats or [...]
If you followed the ongoing meetings of SEC coaches down in Destin, Florida this week then you know that the new thing to hit the recruiting business is web cam chats. Nick Saban does it and Phil Fulmer admitted to doing it too. Word on the street is that they aren’t the only two doing [...]
Derrick Jasper Thoughts? What Say You?
Posted: 29th May 2008 by Kenny Colston in DeAndre Liggins, Derrick Jasper, Kentucky BasketballThe kid has been put to the mill on all accounts since the rumors first came out of his possible transferring due to “homesickness.” Other explanations have included needed time to heal the bum knee and an illness in the family. Whatever the reason is meaningless. Word has it that Derrick will be granted his [...]
Turkey with a side of Early Signing Day? Yum!
Posted: 29th May 2008 by Kenny Colston in E.J. Fields, Early Signing Day, Kentucky Football, Recruiting, Rich Brooks, SEC football, UK footballOne year after SEC football coaches struck down the thought of an early signing day, they reversed course and voted 9-3 to install such a day. Irony! The three “against” votes were from Arkansas’s Bobby Petrino (snake!) Florida’s Urban Meyer and South Carolina’s Steve Spurrier (snake!). Sorry boys, you’re outnumbered! Give it up!. The vote [...]
Who Deserves The Honor Next?
Posted: 29th May 2008 by Kenny Colston in Chuck Hayes, Gerald Fitch, Jamal Mashburn, Jeff Sheppard, Keith Bogans, Rupp Arena, Scott Padgett, tayshaun prince, Tony Delk, Travis Ford, Tubby Smith, Wayne TurnerI saw a story on another site and couldn’t help but repost this article I put out earlier in the year. Jamal Mashburn is the most recent Kentucky Wildcat to have his jersey retired in the rafters of Rupp Arena. Since it has been 15 years since Mashburn last donned the blue and white, I [...]
SEC looks into TV Network
Posted: 28th May 2008 by Kenny Colston in SEC, SEC baseball, SEC basketball, SEC football, UK, UK athleticsIt’s about time. According to the the various newspapers covering the SEC, the league is seriously thinking about creating an SEC network. And let me just say that if the Big Ten and Mountain West conferences have networks, why not the greatest conference in the NCAA. I’m just saying. The good news is that the [...]
