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 [...]

According to Louisville media outlets, Cardinals WR Scott Long broke his foot earlier this week. Long was expected to carry the receiving load for Louisville after losing Harry Douglas and Mario Urrutia last season. Without Long, Louisville suddenly becomes more inexperienced at wide receiver than even Kentucky is. This will make things very difficult for [...]

Since spring football opened, the quarterback position has been a wide open race according to Rich Brooks. sophomore Mike Hartline and junior Curtis Pulley have been switching between running the first and second team offenses. They played each other to a virtual tie in the spring game. It’s a dead heat. Brooks has even constantly [...]

The great quarterback debate has been a hot topic this summer, if you count the soft whispers between UK fans (really, we’ve been over this… speak up). Which will it be? Curtis Pulley or Mike Hartline. Neither has much experience, although I guess you could say Pulley has the edge in that department. But Pulley [...]

Oh, how people forget. Rather funny actually. People forget that two years ago, Andre Woodson was a big question mark. A kid who threw as many interceptions as touchdown passes. No one ever projected him to become the QB that eventually emerged, helping lead UK to bowl games. Two years ago, Keenan Burton had injury [...]

No matter what Rich Brooks and the Kentucky Wildcat football team produce on or off the field, it’s never enough to earn the respect of national, regional, or even local media. What can a team do that says “notice me, notice me” in college football? Beating LSU wasn’t enough. Winning two straight bowls, while knocking [...]

ESPN has recently been releasing previews on all 12 SEC teams. The East preview was two days ago; the West previews were yesterday. Sadly, they were all “insider” content, meaning you better have a subscription that you pay for already or cough up some dough. Otherwise… no preview for you. Until right now! That’s right, [...]

We all remember the best thing about Billy Gillispie. No, no, not that he’ll win games, but that he recruits like none other! Yes, we all know that now and we worship it (well, most of us anyway). Little did we know that recently there was a Billy Gillispie impression contest. All UK coaches were [...]

With summer officially here, the realization that we are going through the slowest 60 days in news history has hit. The weather is nice, the only sport playing is major league baseball, and there’s still 70 plus days until UK whips Louisville in football. Therefore, we have decided to do a year in review from [...]

If you don’t check out ESPN’s website everyday, then you probably haven’t seen their little summer trick of picking a “face” of every college football program. Cal’s “Face” is The Play, Boise State’s is the Blue Turf, and Alabama’s is Bear Bryant. What is Kentucky’s you ask? Babe Parilli. Maybe it shows my age, but [...]
