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 [...]

With the hype surrounding the upcoming NBA draft, many UK fans may have overlooked last weekend’s NFL draft, a draft in which three former Cats heard their name called by NFL franchises. Defensive lineman Corey Peters, defensive back Trevard Lindley and fullback John Conner each look to begin their professional career.

In the press box at Commonwealth Stadium during Saturday’s Blue/White Game, Penn State’s spring game was on TV. Standing in the right spot, you could see the score of Penn State’s Blue/White Game and the scoreboard at Commonwealth.
The differences between the two Blue/White scrimmages were so many, it’s unreasonable to even [...]
Former UK linebacker Micah Johnson has been invited to the New York Giants’ rookie mini-camp on a tryout basis after going undrafted over the weekend, according to the New York Giant’s website.
Johnson was, perhaps, the most notable former UK player to not have his named called by an NFL team. Johnson was a former first-team [...]

The UK coaching staff has decided to change the format of Saturday’s Blue-White game because of injuries at key positions.
The game was originally supposed to mimic an actual game with approximately half the team (the Blue team) squaring off against the other half of the team (the White team).
Instead, the game will now be [...]
Joker Phillips talks about various position battles following Wednesday’s practice. My apologies for Phillips’ back of the head for the first little while. He eventually turns around.
Junior tight end Nick Melillo discusses the difference between this spring and last spring. Melillo was one of the surprise stories from last year’s spring game, and as a [...]
Draft, draft, draft.
It’s all people are talking about this week (between talks about recruiting, obviously).
NBA Draft, NFL Draft, heck, maybe even the MLS Draft (just kidding, that one already happened).
But around these parts, specifically on UK’s campus, the buzz has waned significantly. The obvious reason is the closest NFL team is at least an hour and [...]
