College football season is looming. Media day is forthcoming, the tubas are practicing their snakes, and EA Sports NCAA Football 2011 was just released. While I didn’t go pick up a brand new copy at midnight, mainly due to the fact that I’m in college and supposedly have a life and a job (but more [...]
A few nights ago was NBA Draft Night. A few nights ago, a certain someone contended it was the biggest night in the history of UK basketball. That man was head coach John Calipari.
As we all know, three lottery picks and two more late first-rounders went in the draft. UK players were seen shaking hands [...]
With their backs pressed against the walls guarding the SEC tournament, UK turned around to take a peak.
The Cats (26-21, 9-15 SEC) still have hope of ending up on the right side of the wall after taking two of three from No. 4 South Carolina (36-11, 17-7 SEC).
UK entered the weekend series two games out [...]
Life on the brink.

At a school known for the fantastic freshmen in its basketball program, UK’s men’s golf program has a fantastic freshman of his own.
Chase Parker, a 19-year-old student in the College of Agriculture, was named to the Southeastern Conference All-Freshman Team on Tuesday. Parker is the first UK freshman to receive the honor since [...]
A couple game notes, mostly random, from the thrilling 10-9 walk-off win for Louisville against UK.
- The closers from both teams – Matt Litle for UK and Neil Holland for U of L – both blew leads in the ninth inning. Both are really good closers. They combined to give up nine runs in the [...]
It looked like Louisville had won the game. Then it looked like UK had won the game. Then, finally, Louisville did win the game. The scoreboard even said so.
UK saw a three-run lead in the ninth inning crumble as Louisville scored four runs in the bottom of the ninth to send the Cats (23-18) walking [...]
It might just be me, but I was personally intrigued to no end on the walkup song selections by UK players. Something about what song they chose to represent them at the plate, and the thought process behind it, fascinated me. So, some extra material that wasn’t able to make it into the paper.

Now, I know this is a sports blog, and a Drake concert doesn’t really fit in that category, but he came to basketball games and professed his love for the team and hung with Coach Cal and John Wall, so I feel this blog can handle it for this one.
Anyway, I did really really love [...]
They are the soundtrack to singles and strikeouts, foul tips and fly outs, bunts and bloopers, grand entrances and grand slams.
