CAPTION: Dennis Felton and his dog Muttley watch tape of the Bulldogs’ next opponent. The 23-point win was the biggest margin of victory by Kentucky over Georgia since the 1997 SEC Tournament. How long ago was that? On that day (March 9), the #1 single in America was “Wannabe” by the Spice Girls (Lyrics: “Tell [...]

It Better Happen Today!

Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Here in the bluegrass, it will be remembered for another reason. If everything goes the way it should, I think Big Blue Nation will be celebrating the entrance of our beloved basketball team into the Top 25 polls. It’s taken over a year adn a couple of tough [...]
Randy Sanders, Offensive Coordinator?
Posted: 16th January 2009 by Kenny Colston in Joker Philips, Kentucky Football, Randy Sanders, Rich Brooks, SEC football, UK footballTags: Joker Phillips, Randy Sanders, Rich Brooks
That’s basically what happened in theory yesterday, when UK announced that Sanders title will be changed to offensive coordinator and Joker Phillips will be named head coach of the offense. Sounds silly. But I like it. Because all it’s doing is showing us what the future will hold. It’s another step before Rich Brooks steps [...]
THE SHOOT – EPISODE 23: NOW ENTERING BIZARRO WORLD

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. Here’s the deal. Yesterday, ESPN released a piece for their magazine by Chris Sprow that was such a brutal hack job that it left me no [...]
WORLD’S GREATEST POSTGAME ANALYSIS – UK 90, TENNESSEE 72
Posted: 14th January 2009 by seth stogsdill in UncategorizedTags: Billy Gillispie, Darius Miller, Jodie Meeks, Tennessee, UK basketball
ESPN’s Neil Everett, when plugging Tennessee games, often uses the phrase “Tennessee, Tennessee, ain’t no team you wanna see.” I guess if you’re Jodie Meeks, this does not apply to you. Last night was a real treat. I had never seen a player get 50 points in a game that I watched live. Anybody who [...]
That’s right, I hate them. Just like I did with Indiana, here are some of the Vols that stand out as the worst of the worst. ALLAN HOUSTON Well, I don’t have a picture of him at Tennessee, so here’s one from happier times: the game winner against the Miami Heat in 1999. It’s amazing [...]
WORLD’S GREATEST POSTGAME ANALYSIS: UK 70, VANDERBILT 60
Posted: 11th January 2009 by seth stogsdill in UncategorizedKentucky did win the game yesterday, right? Or did they lose by –10 instead of winning by 10? I ask because the outrage both on the radio and in message board universe is comparable to that of a blowout loss. There is cause for concern after a game like yesterday. There is not cause for [...]
It Wasn't Pretty

It was an ugly effort for most of the game but the Cats were able to fight out of an early hole and hang on in the end. For most of the first half of today’s 70-60 victory over Vanderbilt, the Cats struggled to get even with the Commodores in scoring. After getting out to [...]
THIS WILL BE A GOOD WEEKEND

And the good fortune started today. I’ve been out of town for much of the afternoon, so you can imagine how cool it was to get home and find out from most major UK news sources that Micah Johnson and Jeremy Jarmon were each coming back for another year. Most of us probably had a [...]
Some Things To Talk About

After watching the title game last night, I have some thoughts on a few things I feel some of you may be talking about today. There’s no UK news here except that Micah will announce this afternoon his intentions regarding the NFL Draft. First, Florida proved once again that defense wins championships and that [...]
