I’ve been gone for a while, and I heard some crazy stuff went on. Don’t know if that’s true or not, but here are my thoughts anyway. * I can understand why the guys pulling the strings fired Billy Gillispie. I get it. I just think that the trigger was pulled a little prematurely, like [...]

MY NCAA TOURNAMENT PICKS
Posted: 18th March 2009 by seth stogsdill in UncategorizedTags: NCAA tournament
I have thoughts on Kentucky, the NIT and Billy Gillispie, but I want to wait until that whole mess is over before I address these things. In the meantime, I still love the tournament. The Knicks haven’t won a playoff series since 2000, but I always watch the NBA Playoffs. Why would I stop watching [...]
NICE WIN, BLUE.

Three more and we get to see Rachel Phelps’s boobies! I can say “boobies” on this network, right? I was ready to write a hate piece on Gillispie (I would have called it “Gilllllllllllllispie” – Get it? 13 L’s? Because we would have had 13 losses? Don’t lie, You LOL’d at that one) after the [...]

Ed.note: this is my column for today, let me know what you think. I’m heading down to Tampa soon, so I’ll catch everyone once I’m finished with the layovers and plane rides. For the last 17 years, the UK basketball team has been an NCAA Tournament staple. Growing up as young boys and girls across [...]
Suckness of Late: Silver Lining
Posted: 10th March 2009 by jared powell in College basketball, College FootballTags: Billy Gillispie, Jodie Meeks, Sprinng Football
It’s the optimism hour everyone! Let’s look at some good things that may come out of UK’s horrid play the last few weeks. 1) Jodie’s stock has dropped. Period. He is in no way a first-rounder. Bad for him, good for the Cats. It would be a horrible decision if he took the jump. If [...]
“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.” –Andy Dufresne in “The Shawshank Redemption” Hopefully this will make sense and not sound like the diary of Benji Compson. I promise I’ll try to connect some of these thoughts. About a month ago, my esteemed colleague Mr. Powell [...]
All That Is Left To Do: Shutup
Posted: 9th March 2009 by jared powell in College basketballTags: Billy Gillispie
Harsh words, I know. But hear me out: the Cats are in the middle of a valley right now, and like all valleys in God’s green world, it’s surrounded by slopes and peaks. Translation: any effort of movement can only be made upwards. Whether we look to return to our roots (run backwards), trudge ahead and [...]
All Ears On The Post-Game Show
Posted: 7th March 2009 by jared powell in College basketball, UncategorizedCan Tom Leach avoid asking any question that will get his head ripped off? After the post-UGA “you’re not gonna get me to turn on my guys, Tom” explosion following a legitimate question, I vote no. Unless the interview fails to take place at all, and it’s starting to look that way. I wish Leach would let [...]
