Look, I know it’s gameday, and this is ridiculous, and maybe I’m even late on it… but I just watched Tropic Thunder (highly underrated) last night and couldn’t get over the FACT that Patrick Patterson looks dead up like Robert Downey Jr.’s character in the movie. He even walked a little bit like Pat. Or [...]

LET’S MOVE ON, MMMKAY?

My cockiness knows no bounds. Hooray for puns! There’s no need to wax philosophical about a total system failure like the one on Wednesday. My overall stance about the state of the program remains the same. Coach Gillispie is underachieving with this year’s squad, which was flawed to begin with. He deserves at least one [...]
NATIONAL COCK BEATING DAY IS UPON US
Posted: 25th February 2009 by seth stogsdill in UncategorizedTags: South Carolina, UK basketball
This is the biggest game of the year. It’s actually the fourth or fifth “biggest game of the year” we’ve seen this season, but unlike the rest of those, I actually think this is the one. On paper, I don’t think there’s a worse matchup for UK in the conference than SC. They put intense [...]

Ashton Cobb, UK’s incumbent senior strong safety is facing trial today for past stalking and terroristic threatening charges. The big news so far is that he has plead guilty to the third-degree terroristic threatening charges. All other charges were merged into that one, aka dropped. He is penalized to 12 months – 2 years of adult [...]
Why Are the "Top Cats" No More?
Posted: 24th February 2009 by jared powell in College basketball, College Football, Kentucky Basketball, Kentucky FootballI rarely venture outside of our site here and aseaofblue.com as far as opinion-sources go for UK sports, mostly because of my particular taste in blending style and professionalism, but I make about a bi-weekly roundup of the ones I’m aware of just to check the goings-on. Today I caught a whiff of this: Kentuckysportsradio.com cat fight And [...]
The thing that sucked the most about not having power during the first South Carolina was that I didn’t have an outlet to make jokes about their mascot – well, that and being solely responsible for the outcome of that game by not being able to watch it from my home. Here are some classic [...]
SWEEPING THE ORANGE
Posted: 22nd February 2009 by seth stogsdill in UncategorizedTags: Tennessee, UK basketball
Doesn’t it feel good to have swept Tennessee this year? That’s the first sweep of the Volunteers since 2005 and the only time a team has swept Bruce Pearl during his tenure at Tennessee. To win yesterday’s game the way this team did, and to play that well with Jodie Meeks having a poor shooting [...]
UK V UT Halftime Notes
Posted: 21st February 2009 by jared powell in College basketballTags: AJ Stewart, Darius Miller, Jodie Meeks, Josh Harrellson, Patrick Patterson, Perry Stevenson, Ramon Harris
I think Tennessee’s biggest problem is the blazer. Mike Porter has played well. His shot is off, but he’s leading the team and making things happen. Darius Miller > Scotty Hopson. Scotty Hopson’s minutes > Darius Miller’s minutes. It seems like in the time off, Patrick has had an opportunity to grow accustomed to his [...]
Logic Bust #2: The Replacements
Posted: 21st February 2009 by jared powell in College basketballTags: Daniel Orton, Jodie Meeks, Josh Harrellson, Matthew Pilgrim, Patrick Patterson, Perry Stevenson, Trevard Lindley
I’ma go with this as my #1 Logic Bust as I attack the practice of ranking conferences, though I didn’t have the foresight to properly label it. Forgive? Thanks. Logic Bust #2: The Replacements -Guy on the right… no logic Prevailing Philosophy: player X will be graduating this year, however we shouldn’t skip a beat because player [...]
To take the place of the “Hated Players” piece (since I already did one for Tennessee), here are some jokes I’ve collected about that great state and university. If you are Ron Mercer or any other Big Blue Tennessee import, these are not about you. Most of these come from the fine people at Gator [...]
