Let’s clarify a couple of things. As I said yesterday, the staff has already made two moves that made my day this week. They’re starting Randall Cobb at quarterback and Moncell Allen at running back. Eric Crawford did a better job arguing in favor of Cobb than anybody else could, so let me focus on [...]

Happy Holloween to everyone. I don’t have a lot of time this week so I’m going to trim down this post and just give my pick with a reason why. KENTUCKY @ MISSISSIPPI STATE 2:30 PPV PREDICTION: Kentucky 28, Mississippi State 10 Yeah, I picked the Cats to win convincingly. So what? It’s not a [...]
COLLEGE BASKETBALL NUGGETS AND LINKS

Apologies for the tardiness, but I couldn’t log onto the site all day for whatever reason. We lead off with a piece from Jeff Goodman that I actually want you to click. Goodman has been my nemesis for a while, but here he names his 20 impact freshmen of the 2009 college basketball season, and [...]
THE SHOOT: EPISODE 22: MIKE HARTLINE
Posted: 29th October 2008 by seth stogsdill in UncategorizedTags: Mike Hartline, Randall Cobb, UK football
The views I’m about to express are not necessarily those of anybody else but me, but they ought to be, and as a matter of fact, they probably are. I am not here to defecate on Mike Hartline. I just want to scold him a bit for putting his foot in his mouth. I’ve never [...]
A PRESENT FROM LUTE OLSON?

One thing I neglected to mention about last week’s Lute Olson piece was that some of the recruits who committed to Olson at Arizona are now going to reopen their recruitment now that the coach has stepped down in Tucson. The man pictured above is Solomon Hill. RECRUIT PROFILE: Solomon Hill Hometown: Los Angeles, CA [...]
When A Nation Speaks, Things Get Done

The nation spoke and now we have a new leader. No I’m not talking about the Presidential election. I really don’t care about that as much as I care about the leader of our football team. The nation I speak of, it’s the Big Blue Nation. From his press conference yesterday, Rich Brooks has eased [...]
RANDALL COBB IS THE MAN THIS WEEK
Posted: 27th October 2008 by seth stogsdill in UncategorizedTags: Mississippi State, Randall Cobb, UK football
That is, at least, if you just caught today’s football press conference. Rich Brooks said today that Cobb was working with the first stringers this week and would start against Mississippi State. I don’t want to do any more debating on the issue, especially after I linked that Eric Crawford article in yesterday’s piece, but [...]
The Week Ahead: It's A Big One
Posted: 27th October 2008 by Derrick Johnson in Kentucky Football, Mike Hartline, Randall Cobb, UK footballTags: Kentucky Football, Mike Hartline, Randall Cobb, Special teams, UK football
I cannot remember a bigger week in Kentucky Football than the one we are approaching. It’s do or die, literally. In the past couple of years we’ve seen the program rise to levels that some fans, including myself had never seen in their lifetime. Back-to-back bowl wins, a win over a number one team, a [...]
THAT’S LIFE

I think Ol’ Blue Eyes can put yesterday’s game in words better than I can. Some of my college professors would call a game like yesterday a “character building experience.” Here’s what you learn from losing by 58 points to Florida. Despite playing fewer series, Randall Cobb actually got more snaps at quarterback than Mike [...]
STEAMROLLED IN GAINESVILLE
Posted: 25th October 2008 by Derrick Johnson in Kentucky Football, SEC football, UK footballTags: Florida, Kentucky, UK football
FLORIDA 63, KENTUCKY 5 Well, now what? There is nothing that can be said about this game other than we wish we hadn’t watched it. There was absolutely nothing to take away from this game that showed any resemblance of a football team. The special teams got it started with two blocked punts in back [...]
