Had no idea Norfolk State was BCS ready, Lexington

September 2nd, 2008 | Posted in college football

We know this: After Kentucky’s 27-2 whipping of them, Louisville stinks. UK? They might not be too bad, but the SEC is going to be a bitch.
But we also know this: A ton more fans could have seen the blowout had Kentucky not been so damn stubborn. Why? Here goes.
Back in late March, ESPN came [...]

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.
Thursday, UK coach Billy Gillispie gave his time to coach against a sixth-grade team from Dallas. His players? About the same size, just a tad older. Well, MUCH older.
Try a team of horse-racing jockeys. And the final score?
Sixth grade 49, jockeys 32.
We [...]

Curtis Pulley, who was competing for the starting job, was cut on Tuesday. Pulley had one too many problems … or maybe two or three. Two weeks ago police [...]

February 13th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

Flash back to March 29th, 2006. I was a cub reporter at a Louisville TV station covering Indiana’s hiring Kelvin Sampson, and asked Indiana Athletic Director Rick Greenspan why he would hire a coach whose actions at Oklahoma could bring sanctions to IU (remember: Sampson made 577 [!] improper calls to recruits while at Oklahoma).

Morriss interviews for High School Job, denies pee wee team rumors

January 10th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

So Guy Morriss coached the University of Kentucky football team a few years back. Did a pretty damn good job, especially considering the probation-limitations he dealt with thanks to good ol’ Hal Mumme. Then he left for the death trap of Baylor, got fired, and now may be back in Kentucky. At UK?
Well, not quite [...]

October 16th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

All the Rich Brooks rage is gone across the commonwealth. Well, except this website:
http://firerichbrooks.com/
Yup, they still have the firey head, the anger, but it seems woefully un-updated. Come on guys: We lost this argument long ago: Brooksie is 7-1, top 10, and he ain’t going nowhere. Celebrate the new Rich Brooks with a song. [...]
