Cue the Kentucky cries: Gillispie can’t even outcoach a bunch of sixth graders.

August 8th, 2008 | Posted in college basketball, horse racing

Ok, it’s not quite that simple. But we love needling the big blue nation.

Try a team of horse-racing jockeys. And the final score?
Sixth grade 49, jockeys 32.
We [...]

Gillispie says no smiling or off with your nuts … or roster spot. Whichever comes first.

Note to all walk-ons at Kentucky: Never smile or laugh when you’re losing. Or you’ll become like Dusty Mills.
