    Is Duke out-working everyone else, or is it something else?

    And playing 3 other in-state teams doesn't hurt. Kentucky is in foreign and enemy territory when they play every SEC team.

    Is Duke out-working everyone else, or is it something else?

    The same reason every other SEC team packs the arenas when we come to town, in hopes of seeing Goliath go down.

    They have a cracker-jack arena.. selling out 10k with a bandwagon fanbase isn't real difficult. Please, do us a favor..

    What's your favorite UK season so far in the Coach Cal era?

    2009 - Such an enjoyable season after the BCG era. 2,000 wins. Wall and Cousins were just animals. Good all around season with only 2-3 upsets. But a letdown against WVU. 2010 - Rough SEC play. BS loss to UNC. But an amazing and fun run in the tournament with a few redemption games. 2011 -...

    Drake to perform at Big Blue Madness

    Bring this little treasure to the concert. It'll totally fit in with the type of dated music some of you want to hear. Just make sure to bring some spare AA batteries.

    Drake to perform at Big Blue Madness

    What do the players and recruits want? Then that's what I want. I don't give a **** if some 50-year old rocker wants to hear the tunes from his high school days. That's what your back yard is for. If you're really dead-set against Rap/Hip-Hop, fine, get some current alt-rock/rock band that...

    Colin Cowherd Leaving ESPN...

    Like others have said, it's hard to fill 3-4 hours talking to yourself. Had a good radio voice, liked a good portion of his takes, and he's defended Cal and Kentucky several times, despite his bad take on Wall. A few years ago I found myself in a job where I was doing IT work in a city with 10...

    Jamal Murray

    AD23 is not only a once-in-a-decade talent, he might be a once-in-a-lifetime basketball specimen. He was a guard in a big man's body who developed the post moves and somehow retained almost all of his guard abilities. Can't compare a skinny SF to him. Actually, I think it's safe to say there...

    Why Has UK Not Offered Dennis Smith? (Update: UK Offers Smith on 7/14/15)

    I always say recruits need to watch out for themselves first and the school second. But the reverse is true. I'm glad Cal and Kentucky are, on the surface at least, reaching out to more players. I don't think you see Cal get left out to dry again anytime soon. He's making sure he gets a top...

    Why Has UK Not Offered Dennis Smith? (Update: UK Offers Smith on 7/14/15)

    It basically puts pressure on Simmons. He has an offer, he can commit to Kentucky today if he wanted to. He could force UK's hand, for lack of better wording, by saying "Hey, I'm going to be your PG next season". I imagine that forces Smith away. And is that such a bad thing? Might not get the...

    Austin Nichols transferring

    That article isn't including the update with Virginia I believe. It essentially was released Monday night. I think Memphis granted full release sometime yesterday? The top article that is, about Duke and UVA.

    Austin Nichols transferring

    Good. Glad it's not Duke. Pulling hard for UVA, especially with 1 or 2 games against Duke. Oh and Lobster, you won't like this report: EAD.

    Jamal Murray

    In a composite rating, we wouldn't quite top Duke. Like the guy above said about Kennard being 21. Matthews, our 4th recruit is down in the 30's-40's. Otherwise, top3 compared (Skal, Briscoe, Murray/Thornton, Jeter, Ingram) would give us the edge. Give me our 3 any day, with Skal having the...

    Ty Lawson arrested for 2nd DUI this year

    Was it Ty Lawson or Ray Felton that got really fat for a while? Not that it matters, but might as well slam another UNC Scrub PG while we can..

    Ty Lawson arrested for 2nd DUI this year

    I mean.. was it 0.25.. or was it 0.09? Come on.. Guy deserves a 3rd chance. (My Rockets still need a PG)
