The UK football team did what many thought was the unthinkable - they beat in-state rival and #9 ranked Louisville last night 40-34! Go Cats! It was an awesome game, back and forth the entire time, but thankfully the ‘Cats came out on top in the end. This was the first time [...]

UK’s 2007-2008 Men’s Basketball Schedule has been released. Oh, yes, bring on the madness! Whatcha got in store for us this year, Mr. Gillispie? Better a deep run into the tournament and a good showing in the SEC!
This year’s schedule doesn’t have many surprises. There are the typical cake walks during [...]

37-11 so far. Not too shabby. Ironically enough, Duke and Louisville have hurt me the worst.
