I still realize this is all a bunch of bunk until he comes back in a month or so, but I am solidly among the camp of people who believe that Randall Cobb should play at wide receiver in order to maximize Kentucky’s chances of winning this season. First things first, a quarterback needs lots [...]

UK VS. NORFOLK STATE: MAKE MY DAY.
Posted: 4th September 2008 by Kenny Colston in Alfonso Smith, Derrick Locke, Dicky Lyons Jr., Garry Williams, Joker Phillips, Mike Hartline, UK footballHere is a list of things that would make my day if they happened during the Kentucky vs. Norfolk State game. 1. Run blocking. Chalk it up to first game jitters, new starters or whatever, butt run blocking was a big disappointment against Louisville. To make matters worse for Saturday, Garry Williams had surgery to [...]
WORLD’S GREATEST POSTGAME ANALYSIS: UK 27, LOUISVILLE 2
Posted: 1st September 2008 by Kenny Colston in Braxton Kelley, David Jones, Joker Phillips, Louisville, Micah Johnson, Mike Hartline, Myron Pryor, Rich Brooks, Steve Brown, Trevard Lindley, UK football[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8Gs2EqcIRw&hl=en&fs=1] 27-2. Just let that sink in for a minute, people. 27-2. Doesn’t it just sound swell? It’s as if Kentucky gave Louisville the safety out of sympathy. “Well, we at least want to make it look like you earned a score, so let’s call a play action pass when we’re inside our own 5. [...]
UK/Louisville: The Aftermath
Posted: 1st September 2008 by Kenny Colston in Derrick Locke, Jeremy Jarmon, Joker Phillips, Kentucky Football, Mike Hartline, Tony Dixon, UK footballRaise your hand if you saw UK score two defensive touchdowns, have the potential for six interceptions (and getting three) and flat out playing the way the defense did on Sunday, before the game. Put your hand down. You never saw that one coming as well as it did. So what is next? Obviously, Louisville [...]
KENTUCKY’S OFFENSE VS. LOUISVILLE’S DEFENSE
Posted: 28th August 2008 by Kenny Colston in Alfonso Smith, Derrick Locke, Dicky Lyons Jr., Garry Williams, Joker Phillips, Louisville, Mike Hartline, Moncell Allen, Randall Cobb, Rich Brooks, Tony Dixon, UK football, Zipp DuncanKentucky will not be as good on offense as they were in 2007. This is a given. Andre Woodson, Rafael Little, Keenan Burton, Steve Johnson and Jacob Tamme are all trying to cut their teeth in the NFL. Mike Hartline emerged as the starting quarterback after Curtis Pulley was dismissed from the team, though I [...]
An assessment of Morgan Newton
Posted: 23rd August 2008 by Kenny Colston in Football Recruiting, Joker Phillips, Morgan Newton, Randy Sanders, Rich Brooks, UK footballI just finished watching Morgan Newton on ESPN, and I came away extremely impressed by the kid. Here are some bullet points. *The knock on mobile quarterbacks is that they sometimes get impatient when the pass protection begins to break down, resulting in scrambles for minimal gains. I didn’t see that out of Newton today. [...]
IMPACT OF SCOTT LONG INJURY ON UK/UL GAME
Posted: 19th August 2008 by Kenny Colston in Hunter Cantwell, Joker Philips, Joker Phillips, Louisville, Mike Hartline, Rich Brooks, Steve Brown, Steve KragthropeAccording 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 [...]

Posted: 12th August 2008 by Kenny Colston in Football Recruiting, Joker Phillips, Randy Sanders, Rich Brooks, UK footballWell, another day, another outstanding recruit for Rich Brooks and Joker Phillips. Sam Simpson, the *** center from Henry Clay HS in Lexington, has apparently just now committed to Kentucky as of the time I began writing this column (2:13 PM). For those of you who look at stars and nothing else when judging the [...]

Drake, UK footballFinally, the day has come. After a long wait, football players report to school today with their first practice/walk-through today. That officially means football is here, the summer dead period is over and the smack talking may begin. Therefore, I’m going to provide you with the top 10 things I think you should pay attention [...]
Has Brooks Made His First Major Mistake?
Posted: 1st August 2008 by Kenny Colston in Andre Woodson, Curtis Pulley, Joker Phillips, Mike Hartline, Rich Brooks, UK footballI believe so. Rich spoke to the media yesterday addressing the Curtis Pulley/Will Fidler situation and he made it a point for all to hear that who plays is not decided “off the field” but rather “on the field.” On the field, Hartline and Pulley have been in a dead heat since the gun signalled [...]
