Now this is an interesting way to fill a slow news week: rank all the SEC programs based on the last 75 years to see who is the best. In step with the SEC’s 75th anniversary celebration last year, the Birmingham News decided to do just that. And Florida came out on top. UK ranked [...]

Mark Story is a columnist for the Lexington Herald-Leader. Some people like him, some don’t. And he has some questions for the long, boring summer months. And since it wasn’t that long ago that Mark Story said I had potential to be governor some day (no joke, I’ll provide the link if you ask), I’m [...]

I guess UK Athletics wanted to sneak one in on a day where everyone is focused on the baseball team in Michigan. But the official word that Jasper has seeked his release dropped about an hour ago. Well wishes Derrick, because I’m afraid everything that could have been said has been said. No use in [...]

SEC looks into TV Network

It’s about time. According to the the various newspapers covering the SEC, the league is seriously thinking about creating an SEC network. And let me just say that if the Big Ten and Mountain West conferences have networks, why not the greatest conference in the NCAA. I’m just saying. The good news is that the [...]

I know the coverage today has been dominated by baseball, but really it’s May and there isn’t much else going on. Plus, the Bat Cats are making noise, and they deserve the coverage. That being said, Brett Dawson of the Courier-Journal touches on a point that has been talked about here on this blog and [...]

You’ve angered Greg Doyle, Big Blue Nation. Not all of you, just a select (read: crazy) few. Yeah, you that called for the job, head and male organs of Lexington Herald-Leader beat writer Jerry Tipton. And now Greg Doyle is fighting back. I don’t blame him. I had some of the same feelings Doyle did [...]

UK to the City of Louisville: We Own You.

That’s right, after years of having to drive back home from Lexington to Louisville and seeing that dumb Cardinal on a billboard with the words “We’re Miles Ahead”, the Cats have struck back. The university has bought an office in downtown Louisville, Main Street to be exact, in order to tap the Louisville market better. [...]

Remember last year, when the UK athletics marketing department went all out with the “Believe in Blue” slogan, putting up billboards in Lexington, Louisville and other Kentucky cities? You had pictures of Keenan Burton with “Believe in Loyality”, Dicky Lyons Jr. with “Believe in Circus Catches” and a few others. Well, they are at it [...]

Depending on your Derby bet, you had a good weekend. I let Derrick convince me Pyro was a sure-bet, despite his 10th in the Bluegrass Stakes. How bout that? I think we just decided Derrick won’t be the neighborhood handicapper for this site. And if UK was a bettor, it would be like me. Not [...]
