    North Carolina's NCAA academic case stuck in holding pattern

    You are off on just about everything you write preacherfan. This time you can't even recall your blatant predictions that UNC was going to be hit with major penalties which didn't happened, and it may never happen. The NCAA has taken no action on that original NOA but as the article plainly...

    North Carolina's NCAA academic case stuck in holding pattern

    It was you that said UNC had been formally charged with academic fraud and WOULD (not maybe) be hit with major penalties last summer - and laughed at the idea those charges could be reversed. How do you "splain away" the FACT that the NCAA, after six more months, is now considering amending that...

    Eddie Sutton HOF Candidacy - Open Letter

    Why did you include that totally unnecessary "(though with him you never know)"? Any body that knew him, which you for obviously did not, knew he would never do anything against his own team especially throw a game. For me, I have no problem with Pete betting on baseball because he never bet on...

    Still wondering how we make room for next years guys.

    IMO at least four likely five will be gone. Poy loses his eligibility, Ulis and Murry to the league legitimately and Skal by deception and encouragement. Lee will be gone because he will lose good standing with Cal (Dodson) and realize there is no reason to return for his senior year.

    Will UK be favored at Arkansas?

    History shows everybody has struggled at Arkansas and Kentucky is just another team this year. Foe me a loss is a reality. Just because the polls only recently caught on to our weaknesses doesn't mean we were ever good. JMO, but this team looks no better than 13 after Noel went down.

    Suboptimal Players

    Your premise is incorrect. Yes fans have said that, but fans say everything. Fact is the only player that has been accused of not playing up to billing is Skal, and there is an explanation. Skal was never a great player. He became highly ranked because of the competition he played against and...

    I'd Kill For UK To Have The 7 Year Run Bama Has

    Spot on, but who would you rather have, Cal or Tubby? Cal came hear when we had been driven down to the level of an "also ran" team and put us back on the top of the hill. Her did it by attracting the best players in the country - almost all of which have there mind on the NBA not 4 years of...

    Who was the best point guard to play at UK?

    Not the highest PPG, not the highest ASST/TO, but without a doubt Kyle Macy was the best point to ever play at Kentucky. And I believe he wasn't even considered a point back then - there was no "point guard". But Kyle was the most reliable player to ever wear the jersey. He was the...

    Wish it weren't so, but still need Skal...

    I don't think he is as valuable as Lee was as a freshman. If I were Cal I would encourage him to Go because some NBA team will pick him up based on potential alone. And if Skal has any potential, the pros will find it and find a way to get it out of him. Cal is still recruiting like no one else...

    Is skal a two or three year player?

    It IS hard to believe those Mock Drafts, but then again, WCS was at the top of them last year and went #6. And he even was even put on the All American Team, despite never having had one single year with above average accomplishments other than "Dunk of the Week" category. Sometimes the Mocks...

    Calipari says he’s settled on his rotation

    Exactly. Skal was given the lowest minutes share last game of any player (except Mulder's 1 minute). Could be Cal's message to fans was embellished a little so as to be politically correct. But my observation last game was that Skal is in fact also a player not using both hands at rebounding...

    Calipari says he’s settled on his rotation

    Basically my take also. And furthermore my take is that Cal has demanded what Willis must do to play, but has given Skal a pass. Sure takes on the appearance that Cal gives special leniency to his top recruits. However, you have to yield to Cal. This is his team he built it from nothing and has...

    Larry Vaught, After 41 Years at Danville Paper, Out

    So Tipton remains game-fully employed while fans continue their quest for his employer's demise and his departure, yet a small time newspaper known best for it's state wise coverage of UK basketball and it's popular sports reporter, ceases coverage of UK Sports and says goodbye to their favorite...

    Ramsey, Pitino, Petrino, Jurich - University of "Sleaze" Louisville

    You have only touched on the sports side of the sleaze. Uof L has had many professors or other high officials caught in financial crimes over the last few years and currently the FBI has another investigation underway which looks like it will also wind up in more convictions. The entire Board of...
