Now I know what you’re thinking – Why do this game? Louisville beat us in 2007. It wasn’t even close. They shot 46 free throws. It was the worst game of Patrick Patterson’s young career. All of this is true, but of all the weeks of the year, this is the one where basketball is [...]

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 [...]

Yes, the great astrology sign of Aries, who is portrayed by a Ram… …What? Wrong Ram? Oh. The St. Louis Rams? Silly me. Anyway, Burton recently confirmed a three-year deal for around a million bucks. Not bad, sir, not bad. Burton is the first of the four drafted Cats to sign a contract to my [...]

If you didn’t catch the morning rant on the continued disrespect of UK football, it’s two posts down. After all that I came across another list from The Sporting News (via NBC Sports). It lists the top five SEC players by position. The only Wildcat to make the list is Defensive End Jeremy Jarmon, who [...]

Remember last year, when the UK athletics marketing department went all out with the “Believe in Blue” slogan, putting up billboards in Lexington, Louisville and other Kentucky cities? You had pictures of Keenan Burton with “Believe in Loyality”, Dicky Lyons Jr. with “Believe in Circus Catches” and a few others. Well, they are at it [...]

Derrick did a pretty good job summarizing what happened on Day 2 of the draft, where all four of the UK players got picked. For a little more in-depth look, feel free to read my story here. And for some quick thoughts outside my story. 1. It’s not a good weekend to be Andre Woodson. [...]

If you are like me, you’re tired of mock drafts at this point. Although I do get some satisfaction out of Todd McShay completely challenging Mel Kiper Jr. on his NFL draft throne. McShay is the director of Scout’s Inc., ESPN’s catch-all scouting service. And finally, they have released a complete, full seven-round mock draft. [...]

For the past two years, UK football had a clear passing offense with the likes of QB Andre Woodson and playmakers Keenan Burton, Steve Johnson, Jacob Tamme and Dicky Lyons receiving the ball. But of those five names above, only Lyons remains. That leaves UK in the middle of a spring quarterback battle (which I [...]
