Hey! Down here. You’re just in time, I didn’t think you were going to make it. The lights flash out, the spotlights circle 23,000 of your best friends.  The strobes fire up, and The Who’s “Teenage Wasteland” begins to blare. On the big screen we see Delk 3′s, we see Kenny sky-walking, Tayshaun bombing the Tar Heels, [...]

Ed. note: This is my column, running in today’s newspaper. Thought you might enjoy it. Let’s not forget about Patrick Patterson. You wouldn’t think you could, when the sophomore forward consistently turns in a double-double, although not always in the same way he did during Wednesday night’s 73-64 win against Auburn. How could you forget [...]

Trust me, If any of Billy Gillispie’s peers in the SEC have votes in the USA Today coaches poll, you just gave UK some great motivation. I’m not kidding. One week after the absolute trashing of Tennessee, who has beat such teams as Marquette and Georgetown this season, in Knoxville and then easily dismantling Georgia [...]

Ed. Note: This is the column I wrote for the newspaper following the UK/U of L game. I feel that it still sticks. I honestly don’t know what is with this team. LOUISVILLE — UK needs a third scoring option. Or the Cats need to learn how to handle the ball in order to stop [...]

With the unofficial midseason break known as Christmas now in the past, its time to look at some of the things I will be expecting from the basketball Cats for the rest of this year.  First, Jodie Meeks and Patrick Patterson could both break the 1000 point mark for their UK careers by the end [...]

Hello everyone, You’ve probably wondered where I’ve been and why I randomly re-appeared on Friday to introduce the SEC Power Poll All-SEC team. There’s been numerous reasons why I have had lessen my role, posting-wise, in the last 3 months, but never fear. Kenny is here. And I’m here to pose a really tough question: [...]

  What a weekend!  Madness, the loss to USC and Daniel Orton commits.  Quite a bit of happenings in Lexington this weekend.   USC Game and Quarterback Questions Holy Crap what an awful game that was Saturday.  It was by far one of the worst games I’ve seen two teams play in a while.  Although [...]

So, the Kentucky basketball team held an open gym on Saturday afternoon before the football game. Thanks to a few of my friends at my other favorite UK site, TCP, I managed to compile some firsthand accounts of how the guys played. The total amount of information is seven pages, so I’ll condense it into [...]
