Not really breaking news but 6-5 SG Russell Byrd from Fort Wayne, IN, has committed to Michigan State. I think everyone kind of knew this was going to happen so it’s not a big shocker at all. I think the commitments of Hood and Miller probably weighed into the decision a little but I still give credit [...]

MAKE MY DAY + SOME BASKETBALL STUFF
Posted: 24th October 2008 by seth stogsdill in UncategorizedTags: Florida, Patrick Patterson, Russell Byrd, UK basketball, UK football
It’s pretty simple for tomorrow in terms of what Kentucky has to do to make my day only two things matter. Wrap up. Florida might as well have the US 4×100 relay team in their offensive backfield. Chris Rainey and Jeff Demps are two of the fastest guys I’ve ever seen with a football. If [...]

BREAKING NEWS: OLSON OUT AT ARIZONA
Posted: 23rd October 2008 by seth stogsdill in UncategorizedTags: Arizona, NCAA basketball
I just saw this on SportsCenter from a report by Dick Vitale, so it has to be true, right? But if it is true, it’s huge news. According to ESPN’s own Dick Vitale, as of about an hour ago at the time I wrote this (1 PM), Lute Olson stepped down as Arizona’s coach effective [...]
THE SHOOT: EPISODE 21 – JEFF GOODMAN
Posted: 22nd October 2008 by seth stogsdill in UncategorizedTags: Billy Gillispie, Daniel Orton, GJ Vilarino, Jeff Goodman, UK basketball
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. After a month of putting this off, judgment day has finally come for Jeff Goodman because I am ready to unleash the hounds. I would be [...]
WORLD’S GREATEST CLASSIC GAME ANALYSIS: UK VS. INDIANA (1988)
Posted: 21st October 2008 by seth stogsdill in UncategorizedTags: Bob Knight, Eddie Sutton, Indiana Basketball, Rex Chapman, UK basketball
This is another tape that I found when cleaning out my closet. I think it’s the oldest game we’ve ever taped. This will be tougher than usual to recap because I was two when it happened, and I have no recollection of anything that happened when I was two except for a lot of pooping [...]
The ref in this video is Wilbur Hackett Jr., a linebacker at UK from 1968-1970. My only question is this: where was he when UK was playing South Carolina? Could have been better used in that game.
UK WILDCAT COUNTRY BOWL BUBBLE BONANZA
Posted: 20th October 2008 by seth stogsdill in UncategorizedTags: Arkansas, Auburn, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Tennessee, UK football, Vanderbilt
In light of the amazing win over Arkansas (one which I’m still trying to comprehend how it happened), I think it’s okay to be talking bowls. With five games to play and needing one win to become bowl eligible, I don’t think I’m getting ahead of myself. Of course, since my preferred sport is basketball, [...]
Love/Hate: Mike Hartline

I really don’t know how to feel about you, big guy. You clearly lost some games for UK in the not to distant past. If you don’t cough up a fumble that Alabama uses for a 14-0 lead, maybe UK pulls a momentus upset and Alabama crumbles a little, instead of still sitting at No. [...]
WORLD’S MOST IMPROBABLE POSTGAME ANALYSIS: KENTUCKY 21, ARKANSAS 20
Posted: 19th October 2008 by seth stogsdill in UncategorizedTags: Arkansas, Mike Hartline, Randall Cobb, Rich Brooks, UK football
Are you serious? Kentucky actually won that game? That’s right, Kentucky won the game. I can’t believe it either. I’ve been following UK football since Wuerffel to Doering in 1993, so I’ve seen my share of improbable wins. The only one that was more incredible than last night was the upset win over Georgia in [...]
