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, [...]

The Gillispie Chronicles: Year 2
Posted: 11th March 2009 by Kenny Colston in Billy Gillispie, Kentucky Basketball, UK basketballTags: Billy Gillispie, Jodie Meeks, Kentucky Basketball, Patrick Patterson, UK basketball
Ed.note: this is my column for today, let me know what you think. I’m heading down to Tampa soon, so I’ll catch everyone once I’m finished with the layovers and plane rides. For the last 17 years, the UK basketball team has been an NCAA Tournament staple. Growing up as young boys and girls across [...]
Why Are the "Top Cats" No More?
Posted: 24th February 2009 by jared powell in College basketball, College Football, Kentucky Basketball, Kentucky FootballI 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 [...]
Success takes time, a bit of turmoil
Posted: 5th February 2009 by Kenny Colston in Billy Gillispie, Kentucky Basketball, UK basketballTags: Billy Gillispie, Kentucky Basketball
ed. note: this is a column I wrote today about the Cats’ current situation. Feedback is welcome and sorry for the lack of posts. It all started with one bad question (that really wasn’t that bad at all) asked by one ESPN sideline reporter during a game in which UK shouldn’t have been struggling like [...]
Patrick Patterson is a beast. Period.

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 [...]
Dear Coaches, Thanks for the Motivation.

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 [...]
Some Shocking News!
Posted: 19th January 2009 by Derrick Johnson in Kentucky Basketball, UK basketballTags: Jodie Meeks, Kentucky, Kentucky Basketball, UK basketball
A couple of tidbits from today’s news. First off, my post before must have been way too premature because the polls have been released and the Cats are nowhere to be found in either. In fact, the SEC’s sole representative is Florida at #24 in the AP Poll. The Cats received 105 votes in the [...]
It Better Happen Today!

Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Here in the bluegrass, it will be remembered for another reason. If everything goes the way it should, I think Big Blue Nation will be celebrating the entrance of our beloved basketball team into the Top 25 polls. It’s taken over a year adn a couple of tough [...]
It Wasn't Pretty

It was an ugly effort for most of the game but the Cats were able to fight out of an early hole and hang on in the end. For most of the first half of today’s 70-60 victory over Vanderbilt, the Cats struggled to get even with the Commodores in scoring. After getting out to [...]
