Why is Louisville still the favorite?
Posted: 30th August 2008 by Kenny Colston in Kentucky Football, Louisville, UK footballIt’s a question I ask myself every morning. The only thing I can think of is home field advantage. But when Syracuse, who was whooped by Northwestern earlier today, upsets a team at home is there really an advantage? I’m not a betting man and the NCAA will castrate anyone who promotes college football betting. [...]
KENTUCKY VS. LOUISVILLE: THE PREDICTION
Posted: 30th August 2008 by Kenny Colston in Derrick Locke, Hunter Cantwell, Louisville, Mike Hartline, Tony Dixon, UK footballI see the game going like this. Defense will set the tone for the day, and I expect a low scoring affair. I think that both defenses will come out with guns blazing, but eventually, Louisville’s lack of depth in the trenches will come back to bite them. It has to, because it will be [...]
I have had several conversations with Cardinals fans in the last week or so that have always gotten around to talking about how we know nothing about either team this year. My reply: thank your athletic director for that. Because of Tommy “Turtleneck” Jurich, this year’s and every other year’s games are once again the [...]
The Prediction: Kentucky vs. Louisville
Posted: 29th August 2008 by Kenny Colston in Dicky Lyons Jr., Hunter Cantwell, Jeremy Jarmon, Kentucky Football, Louisville, Rich Brooks, UK footballIt’s about that time. I’m not content to wait any longer. I must do this. I must make my prediction for the annual Governor’s Cup game be known right now. So here they are, numbered, but not in any specific order. Just treat it as a catch-all. 1. UK’s running backs will have their day [...]
KENTUCKY’S DEFENSE VS. LOUISVILLE’S OFFENSE
Posted: 29th August 2008 by Kenny Colston in Braxton Kelley, Corey Peters, Hunter Cantwell, Jeremy Jarmon, Louisville, Marcus McClinton, Micah Johnson, Rich Brooks, Ricky Lumpkin, Steve Brown, Trevard Lindley, UK footballLouisville’s offense is significantly better than its defense. Hunter Cantwell has backed up Brian Brohm for three years, and it is his time to shine. I’m not as high on him as some of the Louisville fans who say he’s even better than Brohm and use some weird Mel Kiper formula to make that deduction, [...]
KENTUCKY’S OFFENSE VS. LOUISVILLE’S DEFENSE
Posted: 28th August 2008 by Kenny Colston in Alfonso Smith, Derrick Locke, Dicky Lyons Jr., Garry Williams, Joker Phillips, Louisville, Mike Hartline, Moncell Allen, Randall Cobb, Rich Brooks, Tony Dixon, UK football, Zipp DuncanKentucky will not be as good on offense as they were in 2007. This is a given. Andre Woodson, Rafael Little, Keenan Burton, Steve Johnson and Jacob Tamme are all trying to cut their teeth in the NFL. Mike Hartline emerged as the starting quarterback after Curtis Pulley was dismissed from the team, though I [...]
With the start of school returning this week and everybody buzzing about the big game this weekend, I figured this was as good a time as any to open up my class about the haves and have not’s of tailgating. Each week I will give my recommendations on what to bring to the weekend tailgate [...]
Seeing Red
Posted: 28th August 2008 by Kenny Colston in Kentucky Football, Louisville, Micah Johnson, UK footballSo Louisville wants to “Red-Out” the UK game. Cool concept. Stolen a long time ago, but everyone steals it, even UK. Oh and it’s also about time Louisville actually did a “color-out” with their actual primary color. Football stole a few of Maryland’s black outs. Too bad neither the Terps nor Cards do a blackout [...]
JUST WHEN I THINK I’M OUT, COACH GILLISPIE DRAGS ME BACK IN
Posted: 27th August 2008 by Kenny Colston in Billy Gillispie, Donald Williams, Recruiting, UK basketballI didn’t want to write about basketball this week. It should be the last thing on my mind. It’s Louisville week. That should take precedence over everything in life besides food, water and breathing. I even promised you people that I wouldn’t have anything to say about basketball until after the Louisville game. Because of [...]
