A quick look at UK football head coach Rich Brooks’ 2009 recruiting class would provide much joy for many UK fans, with high-profile out-of-state recruits and in-state stars lining up to play for the Cats next fall. A closer look would ease fears about potential depth problems at many different positions in 2009 — running [...]

Randy Sanders, Offensive Coordinator?
Posted: 16th January 2009 by Kenny Colston in Joker Philips, Kentucky Football, Randy Sanders, Rich Brooks, SEC football, UK footballTags: Joker Phillips, Randy Sanders, Rich Brooks
That’s basically what happened in theory yesterday, when UK announced that Sanders title will be changed to offensive coordinator and Joker Phillips will be named head coach of the offense. Sounds silly. But I like it. Because all it’s doing is showing us what the future will hold. It’s another step before Rich Brooks steps [...]
Some Things To Talk About

After watching the title game last night, I have some thoughts on a few things I feel some of you may be talking about today. There’s no UK news here except that Micah will announce this afternoon his intentions regarding the NFL Draft. First, Florida proved once again that defense wins championships and that [...]

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 [...]
What Have We Become?

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 [...]
Where Will The SEC Teams Be For The Holidays?

Bowl Season is just around the corner and if you’re like me you’ve already started making hotel reservations in cities across the southeast in case the Cats would be selected to play there. With that in mind I thought I would give my opinion on where I think the schools of the SEC will be [...]
STEAMROLLED IN GAINESVILLE
Posted: 25th October 2008 by Derrick Johnson in Kentucky Football, SEC football, UK footballTags: Florida, Kentucky, UK football
FLORIDA 63, KENTUCKY 5 Well, now what? There is nothing that can be said about this game other than we wish we hadn’t watched it. There was absolutely nothing to take away from this game that showed any resemblance of a football team. The special teams got it started with two blocked punts in back [...]
Love/Hate: Mike Hartline
Posted: 20th October 2008 by Kenny Colston in Kentucky Football, Mike Hartline, Rich Brooks, SEC football, UK footballTags: Mike Hartline, Rich Brooks, UK football
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. [...]
