If you follow the newspapers (some of you don’t, which is sad) that cover the Cats, you’d know there’s a little bit of struggle going on. Sophomore running back Derrick Locke, never one to mince words, called out his coaches about wanting to run the ball more after the Alabama game. Monday and Tuesday, Rich [...]

Back to Square One
Posted: 15th September 2008 by Kenny Colston in Aaron Boyd, Alfonso Smith, Derrick Locke, Dicky Lyons Jr., Kentucky Football, Kyrus Lanxter, Rich Brooks, Tony Dixon, UK footballWow, what a game right? I just love when a kicker misses four field goals, when the running game stalls and wide receivers don’t know the routes. So when Papa Brooks says it’s time to open some positions back up to competition, I rejoice. Let’s face it, Lones Seiber has been a problem for a [...]
UK VS. MIDDLE TENNESSEE: MAKE MY DAY
Posted: 12th September 2008 by seth stogsdill in Alfonso Smith, Derrick Locke, Mike Hartline, Randall Cobb, Rich Brooks, Tony Dixon, UK footballHere are some things that will make my day if they happen in this week’s game. 1. A passing touchdown from Mike Hartline. Kentucky needs a good game out of Mike to keep their scheme intact. The staff wants to use both quarterbacks, which is fine by me. A good game with at least one [...]
If You Booed, Shame On You…And Other Observations
Posted: 8th September 2008 by Kenny Colston in Alfonso Smith, Derrick Locke, Eric Adeyemi, Mike Hartline, Randall Cobb, Rich BrooksI was so glad to hear from Coach Brooks and Randall Cobb during the post-game radio interviews that they were disappointed with the fans booing Mike Hartline when he returned to the field to begin the 2nd half.

WORLD’S GREATEST POSTGAME ANALYSIS: UK 38, NORFOLK STATE 3
Posted: 7th September 2008 by Kenny Colston in Alfonso Smith, Derrick Locke, Mike Hartline, Steve Brown, Tony Dixon, UK Fans, UK footballThat’s more like it. The offense wasn’t perfect, but it didn’t have to be. All I wanted to see was significant offensive improvement from the Louisville game, and that’s exactly what happened. I’m very happy with the way the offense played, but there’s just one thing I have to get off of my chest. If [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
