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 [...]
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 [...]

It was February 12, 2008. It was a cold night in Nashville, Tennessee, especially inside Vanderbilt’s Memorial Gym for the visiting Kentucky basketball team. The Cats entered the game riding a five game winning streak and left with wounded pride. The Commodores came into the game looking for blood after the Cats had given them [...]
I can't figure this team out
Posted: 6th January 2009 by Kenny Colston in Billy Gillispie, Jodie Meeks, Kentucky Basketball, Patrick Patterson, UK basketballTags: Billy Gillispie, Jodie Meeks, Kentucky Basketball, Patrick Patterson, Rick Pitino, U of L basketball, UK basketball
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 [...]
Well Crap!
Posted: 5th January 2009 by Derrick Johnson in Billy Gillispie, Kentucky Basketball, UK basketballTags: Edgar Sosa, Jodie Meeks, Kentucky Basketball, Michael Porter, Patrick Patterson
What a way to lose a rivalry game. That’s all I can say about yesterday’s game. It just goes to show that the game takes a full 40 minutes of effort and I think our guys proved that. With less than a minute remaining, U of L had thought the game was over and began talking to [...]
Has UK turned a corner?

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: [...]
