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 [...]

I 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 [...]

With 2008 coming to a close, I’ve been forced to reflect on everything the year has brought. Which brings to me to the year in review for UK and it’s athletic squads. And in my reflections, I had one reoccurring theme — disappointment. Can me a fair weather fan. Call me a Louisville fan. Call [...]

  For the first week of the season, all SEC teams in action play other SEC teams.  There are five games on tap including the Cats and Cocks.  How many jokes will we hear this week involving cocks?  Seroiusly, probably enough to start a drinking game.    SOUTH CAROLINA @ KENTUCKY  12:30 pm  RAYCOM Oh [...]

  With Kentucky visiting Alabama this weekend, it seems like everyone has focused solely on this game.  As much as we really don’t care, there are others games this weekend in the SEC, including a matchup of ranked teams in NASHVILLE, where Gameday will also be airing live.  Wow, never thought i would say that.

Boy I haven’t really ranted in a long time. But thanks to ESPN.com’s Bruce Feldman, you will be treated to one this morning. Why? Because Feldman is a busch league college football columnist. Feldman and Mark Schlabach released their pre-season bowl projections. A silly thing, I’m sure they’ll tell you, but it’s gets idiots like [...]

I was going to wait a little bit before getting all worked up about UK’s chances to go bowling for a third straight year in football, but ESPN has left me no choice. You see, College Football writer Mark Schlabach has released July bowl predictions to help keep people like me sane. And he has [...]

Another day, another pre-season football magazine saying UK just can’t compete above fifth in the SEC. Sure, Phil Steele has given UK more credit than the other two magazines we’ve reviewed so far, but still. You can put more UK guys on your All-SEC teams. You can say this will be better or that will [...]

Texas vs. Arkansas in 1969… could we soon see that match up every year? I have to admit, when I first came across this, I thought it was going to be a bunch of a bull. I mean, is the next step for college football really 16 team superconferences? Tim Stephens of the Orlando Sentinel [...]

This is the second leg of a series where we here at WC break down what each preseason college football magazine says about UK football for the 2008 season. Our first look was at Lindy’s College Football Magazine, which was wildly off-base. Now we turn to Athlon, one of the better magazines. And the outlook [...]
