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 hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, or Happy Holidays, this year. We here at UKWC surely did. But the gift-giving is (mostly) over and with only one week until UK’s AutoZone Liberty Bowl matchup, we have to take a break from basketball for a moment (because it’s just Florida Atlantic) and see what exactly [...]

I’ve been reading message board posts and articles about how Kentucky fans are debating whether or not to travel to a bowl game to watch the Cats play.  The most used excuse is that these guys are not very good and that they are disappointed in how the season turned out.  Another one is that [...]

The nation spoke and now we have a new leader.  No I’m not talking about the Presidential election.  I really don’t care about that as much as I care about the leader of our football team.  The nation I speak of, it’s the Big Blue Nation.  From his press conference yesterday, Rich Brooks has eased [...]

I cannot remember a bigger week in Kentucky Football than the one we are approaching.  It’s do or die, literally.  In the past couple of years we’ve seen the program rise to levels that some fans, including myself had never seen in their lifetime.  Back-to-back bowl wins, a win over a number one team, a [...]

I really don’t know how to feel about you, big guy. You clearly lost some games for UK in the not to distant past. If you don’t cough up a fumble that Alabama uses for a 14-0 lead, maybe UK pulls a momentus upset and Alabama crumbles a little, instead of still sitting at No. [...]

  What a weekend!  Madness, the loss to USC and Daniel Orton commits.  Quite a bit of happenings in Lexington this weekend.   USC Game and Quarterback Questions Holy Crap what an awful game that was Saturday.  It was by far one of the worst games I’ve seen two teams play in a while.  Although [...]

The views I’m about to express are not necessarily those of anybody else but me, but they ought to be, and as a matter of fact, they probably are. I prefer watching sports on TV. It isn’t fun sitting in handicapped sections in stadiums and arenas. Sure, nobody stands up in front of you, but [...]

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 [...]

Well, it turns out that Randall Cobb’s ankle injury sustained in the Middle Tennessee is a little more serious than everybody first thought. He won’t miss the entire season, but he’ll miss a few games. That gives me and every other Sunday morning quarterback a chance to analyze what the staff should do with Cobb. [...]
