Just when it seemed that UK was turning the corner and pulling things together to make a run for the tournament - they go and get THRASHED at Vanderbilt. I didn’t think UK would win this game against a revenge-minded Commodore team, but I didn’t expect to get WALLOPED by 41 points. I [...]

Wow! Woohoo! We won! Instant classic! How’s this for a Blue Grass Miracle!

Friday night was Big Blue Madness, the first practice for the UK basketball team for the 2007-2008 season - and the start of the Gillispie Era. It seems so long ago that Gillispie was named head coach, but at the same time, it feels like it was just yesterday. The first exhibition game [...]

Got this joke from my dad:

Four football fans go rock climbing one afternoon - a Kentucky fan, the Louisville fan, a Tennessee fan, and a Georgia fan.
They had been arguing all the way up the mountain about who among them was the most die hard fan. Upon reaching the top of the mountain, the Tennessee [...]

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 [...]

I got this via email from my grandparents and couldn’t pass up posting it.

One day, Rick and Tubby decided to get together and play a round of 18 holes. Later in the round, the two finally reach the 14th hole. Tubby taps in his putt and suddenly, without hesitation, grabs his ball, [...]

Kentucky introduces Gillispie
Former Texas A&M coach, Billy Gillispie, has been announced and officially introduced as UK’s new coach.

Not sure how I feel about this choice. He supposedly has a good work-ethic and is a great recruiter, but does his personality fit with UK? What’s his coaching style like? Guess we’ll find out. [...]

Um, what’s wrong with UK all of a sudden…
First, the coach leaves for a “lesser” school. UK coaches don’t leave for schools the likes of Minnesota. That’s not an option. The only options are retirement or the NBA. Minnesota?!? No, no, no. Are you nuts?
Second, a coach turns down [...]

Well, it’s begun. First, Tubby left UK for Minnesota. Speculation about a new coach began immediately, and the list is long with possibilities. Now, Randolph Morris has signed a free agent contract with the New York Knicks, meaning he will not return next season. The status of the potential recruits such [...]
