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 [...]

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 [...]
SEC Power Poll: All-SEC Team Special Teams Edition
Posted: 19th December 2008 by Kenny Colston in Kentucky Football, UK footballTags: All-SEC, SEC Power Poll, Tim Masthay
This year we had the honor of participating in the SEC Power Poll, an honor we took seriously as the company we held was very highly thought of. And when we heard these same people wanted to roll out an All-SEC team, we wanted to join that too. If you want to see the offensive [...]
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?
Posted: 14th November 2008 by Derrick Johnson in Kentucky Football, SEC football, UK footballTags: 2009 Bowl Games, Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, BCS National Championship, Capital One Bowl, Chick-Fil-A Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Florida, Georgia, Independence Bowl, Kentucky, Liberty Bowl, LSU, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Music City Bowl, Outback Bowl, PapaJohns.com Bowl, South Carolina, Sugar Bowl, Tennessee, Vanderbilt
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 [...]
When A Nation Speaks, Things Get Done
Posted: 28th October 2008 by Derrick Johnson in Kentucky Football, Mike Hartline, Mississippi State, Randall Cobb, Rich Brooks, UK footballTags: Georgia, Kentucky Football, Mississippi St, Randall Cobb, Rich Brooks, UK football
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 [...]
The Week Ahead: It's A Big One
Posted: 27th October 2008 by Derrick Johnson in Kentucky Football, Mike Hartline, Randall Cobb, UK footballTags: Kentucky Football, Mike Hartline, Randall Cobb, Special teams, UK football
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 [...]
