My sister is a CPA who does income tax returns for high net worth individuals. She will tell you that tax policy is still slanted toward the wealthy. As one example, a few years ago it was reported that Bob Simpson (founder of XTO Energy/current owner of Texas Rangers) was paid a total yearly compensation package of $56 million. Of that $56 million, $55.5 million was deferred compensation in the form of company stock, for which he paid $0 in tax. In essense, he was allowed to put 99% of his income into a 401k, while the rest of us can only put 15% per year into a 401k. He will never pay taxes on that money until he sells the investments, likely when his great, great grandson goes on a cocaine binge sometime in the future.

Wimsatt can play and what an arm! Didn’t know he had that kinda arm strength.

He strikes me as a more skilled Terry Wilson. Could be a major weapon for the Cats this year and beyond.

Cheers to the win!

Let’s voice of frustration loud and clear!!! Let’s get this joker out of Lexington ASAP!!!

According to Jacob Polachek at KSR, Caleb Wilson is now planning to announce his commitment in November or December after taking his visits.

Feels like pretty significant news coming off a great UK visit because he was originally planning to wait until the spring.

Our DB's played excellent games, had major stops to prevent 1'st downs and keep Ole Miss behind the chains.

Bryant huge stop and hit on final drive, Weaver (aggressive all game) also with a great pursuit play that cost them 4 yard lose.

Hardaway, Lovitt( big time stop late short of 1st down) Waller and Nichols played great games keeping things in front of them and making huge tackles.

UK's D is being widely praised and Brad White is receiving major props. A reminder that White is actually Co-DC with CB coach Chris Collins, whose contract was extended and was given a promotion in the off season. I would anticipate, however, that people will be coming after White very soon. Doesn't mean UK will lose him, he's said to be most happy at UK, but come Dec I expect people to start throwing money at him.

Vandy, Gators, Auburn, Murray, UL all winnable.

GO CATS!

I would suggest a player going down with injury that entails stopping the clock to either be required to sit out the rest of the possession or even the quarter. This would protect kids that actually are hurt and eliminate some of the benefit of clock stoppage.
Of course if you are Bama or Georgia you would simply be inserting another 5 star.

I think they blew this call by the rules. There are a few things at play including the ball touching the ground, when something is ruled a catch, and when it would be ruled incomplete.

Touching the ground: The ball can touch the ground as long as the receiver maintains control of the ball when it touches the ground. This absolutely happened on that play. The ball hitting the ground absolutely did not cause the ball to dislodge.

Ruling something a catch: The receiver is not down and something is not ruled a catch until / unless he maintains control of the catch through his own body hitting the ground. That did not happen here, so the receiver could not be considered down after making a catch.

In this case, the receiver controlled the ball while the ball was touching the ground. From my view, he actually pulled the ball off of the ground for a split second before his shoulder hit the ground. At this point, it was still a potential catch and a live play with the ball no longer touching the ground. Then his shoulder hit the ground, which is what caused the ball to dislodge from his hands. There is a lot happening back to back on the play, but I hate that this was overturned with indisputable evidence, because I don't think that existed at all on the play.

Ashland looks good from this area. Boyd County is mid. I thought Greenup County might be decent but they got smashed by Ashland.

They have the best looking ladies I have seen at a football game. If you what a blonde, slender, beautiful woman it’s the place to be!

He was halfway out the door last year.

Is he just mailing it in now?

Let's get a new one rolling with some accolades for the new Cats...

Kentucky Baseball Boasts Seven Perfect Game Top 500 Freshmen

The Wildcats see two Top 100 freshmen arrive on campus, including no. 31 Tyler Bell



LEXINGTON, Ky. – Seven of the Top 500 freshmen in the nation to arrive on campus this fall reside at Kentucky according to a list unveiled by Perfect Game, including a pair of Top 100 recruits.

Infielder Tyler Bell (No. 31) and catcher/utility Ryan Schwartz (No. 86) will don Kentucky blue. Bell famously spurned the Tampa Bay Rays after being selected in the second round (No. 66 overall) of the Major League Baseball Draft in July. Kentucky’s 14-man freshman class is ranked No. 24 overall.

The Wildcats also signed a Top 10 transfer class. The Top 500 freshmen include:




The rest of the freshman class includes: Nolan Belcher (C, Jonesboro, Ark.); Logan Grubb (LHP, Lawrenceburg, Ky.); Tristan Hunter (RHP, Kissee Mills, Mo.); Hayden Mains (UT, Morehead, Ky.); Zach Moss (RHP, Hopkinsville, Ky.); Cameron Owens (RHP/IF, Harrodsburg, Ky.); and Khaleel Pratt (RHP/UT, Evans, Ga.).

The Cats are entering their ninth season under head coach Nick Mingione and have won 262 games during his tenure, including last season’s school-record 46-win campaign that featured a SEC regular season championship and Mingione’s second National Coach of the Year honor in seven full seasons at the helm.
