Despite a busy off-season that may have required a few "Hello, My Name Is..." tags around the Kentucky football complex, the Wildcats had a smooth opening day of spring football practice, Mark Stoops said after Tuesday's workout in the Nutter Fieldhouse.

"For the first day, just today, I was very impressed," said the UK head coach, who is entering his 12th year in Lexington. "There are obviously some mistakes with some things and some areas where we have a lot of practices to clean up, but overall, procedure, alignments, motions, plays, I really like what we're doing.

"I really feel good about Bush (Hamdan) and the creativity that he has and the experience that he has -- the knowledge. Overall, first day went very well." (cont) ...

Today is a huge day for me (Go Cats!)

Me and my fiance have been at the hospital since early yesterday, we are going to give birth to our first child (son) today. So Cal, run Oakland into the ground!!!!!!!

Doesn't hurt I got paid today and my taxes came in as well. Going to order some good food and watch our boys. GO CATS

Edit: forgot to mention he's a Sheppard boy! (No relation)

How did the Joey Brackets and Palm do vs bracket matrix ?

Joey Brackets scored 336 pts (he had 67 out of 68 teams right) finished in 169th place

Jerry Palm scored 323 pts (66 out of 68 teams right) finished in 214th place not bad out of 227 people !

The winner scored 355 pts (67 teams right)

8 people got all 68 teams right (including 2nd place)

I scored 350 pts good for 8th place tie (I got 67 out 68 teams right) I am not on bracket matrix but I do these myself each year but I have to tell you ever since a million people started doing them it really isn't any fun anymore it was fun when it was early 2000's and it was just Joey, Palm and myself doing them and I was smacking Palm around year in and year out. I thought was impressive clearly not everyone does it now.

These are the 2 guys getting paid to do this haha

If I had trusted my gut and put Kentucky as a 3 (which would have put Auburn into a 4 for me) I would have finished with 354 pts and 2nd place.

This was the worst score ever on avg for bracket matrix avg score was 342 as the committee seeding was way off for the MWC and a few other teams that most everyone missed by 2 or 3 seed lines which kills your score.
