I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, or Happy Holidays, this year. We here at UKWC surely did.

This year we had the honor of participating in the SEC Power Poll, an honor we took seriously as the company we held was very highly thought of. And when we heard these same people wanted to roll out an All-SEC team, we wanted to join that too. If you want to see the offensive [...]

It’s a pretty simple one, really. I want to get this guy… …here. Doesn’t seem too hard, does it? For those of you who live under a rock and still hate the NBA because you think it hasn’t changed since the late 90s and early 2000s, the Boston Celtics are 24-2, which is one of [...]
