Note to all walk-ons at Kentucky: Never smile or laugh when you’re losing. Or you’ll become like Dusty Mills.
According to Jerry Tipton of The Lexington Herald-Leader, last week ESPN cameras had a shot of Mills and freshman Morakinyo Williams smiling and/or laughing during the waning moments of UK’s 93-52 loss at Vanderbilt. Neither made the trip to LSU on Saturday, though Gillispie said that was his decision. Then, just before Tuesday’s game against Georgia, Tipton reported Williams was still on the team, but the walk-on Mills? Sayonara.
We with Coach Billy Gillispie the best of luck in cutting more walk-ons in hope of making the big dance.

Your last sentence has a lisp.
And if you read the article you linked you would know that the incident that spurred the dismissal took place four days before the Vandy debacle when the team went on the road to Georgia. After star guard Ramel Bradley was fouled hard and was briefly knocked out the camera panned over to the bench and saw Williams and Dusty Mills laughing. Gillispie waited until after the Vandy game to dismiss him, though. Perhaps it was a combination of both incidents that got Dusty kicked off. He was a 5′6″ walk-on from Indiana, so no one actually cares.

Drew –
The two blog postings of Jerry Tipton’s we linked to said nothing about an incident on the road to Georgia. Go back and read them again and you’ll see. I’m sure you’re thinking of something else.
