    How do you think our OL will be this season?

    Any time you go into a sandwich year like this one (3 starters gone, young players are probably. a year away), it's expected that there will be some growing pains. Two signs of encouragement, however: (1) Drake Jackson is on our staff and we should all be thrilled about this. I have a VERY...

    I'm surprised slowing Tennessee's offense is not a bigger talking point.

    I recently rewatched the Tennessee win over Kentucky (it takes me a long time to rewatch losses) from last year. Despite Tennessee's coaches and players doing a flawless job exploiting matchup problems and keeping our defense confused, at no point in the contest did I feel like Tennessee was the...

    Where do we put him? Slim him down to play X?

    Dee Beckwith

    This guy has EDGE written all over him. He's been able to add 50 lbs to his frame in just two years. I know it's difficult to convert someone with so much versatility on offense into a defensive mindset, but if he wants a future in football, it might be on the defensive side of the ball. In...

    Kentucky's problem is not what you think it is...

    Take a look at the two teams playing in the championship game tonight. Heck, take a look at the Final Four teams. What do they have in common? None of this five out, 35 threes per contest crap. Yes, they give you matchup problems. Yes, they have bigs who can stretch defenses. But what...

    So does this team get a name if it wins a title?

    Whatever the nickname is, it should reflect the fact that this team has brought fun back to Kentucky basketball. They are such an immensely likable, selfless team. One thing I keep saying to myself after yet another blowout victory is "I'm grinning and UK is winning." Oscar, Sahvir, et al are...

    Question: Standing Ovations for Opposing Players

    These are great stories. I love that Cawood Ledford would enthusiastically praise quality opponents and I think the fans took their cue from Cawood. It's such a good tradition. It reflects our basketball knowledge and respect for the game.

    Question: Standing Ovations for Opposing Players

    I've seen less and less of it over the years, but UK fans used to give standing ovations to opponents who played very well. Do you remember players from other teams who got standing o's from the Memorial/Rupp crowd? I know David Robinson was one. I think Chris Jackson was another. Who else do...

    Worst matchup for UK?

    I cannot believe I'm saying this, but an upper echelon Big Ten team with big strong PG and some muscle on the front line. If the opponent has a athletic, strong PG, this will give Wheeler fits. We have been able to blow teams out if they have slight or thin PG's. Generally, teams are not going...

    Last time UK won at KU was 1983, when Bowie, Kenny Walker and Melvin Turpin were playing

    Poor Greg Dreiling. Absolutely eviscerated by UK's frontcourt in that game.

    Congrats Wildcats

    Nothing but respect for Iowa. Great fans, very solid program, consistency personified. Iowa is the most fundamentally sound tackling team we've played this year. They wrap up like nobody else. We got a great win against a worthy opponent.

    Levis

    He made a good choice coming to UK. Two bowls played today confirm this.

    Georgia isn’t a beast

    I am extremely impressed with Georgia. They are not only talented, they are well-coached, well-disciplined, and hungry. I think they are a well-deserved #1 team. UK's best chance to keep this game competitive is if they achieve the following: (1) Play virtually mistake-free football in terms...

    All 6 Suspended Players Back On Team

    I've been reading along and I think that Irish is confusing the word irrelevant with inconclusive. If Tisdale does not own a gun, this is inconclusive as to whether he possessed a gun on the day of the fight. Obviously. But it is not irrelevant. Here's why: If Tisdale's mother testified that he...

    Improved Secondary

    After week two, we weren't talking about turnovers and special teams snafus as much was we were complaining about our defensive backs, particularly our cornerbacks. One bright spot against Chattanooga was that our DB's played well as a unit--far better than they did in the first two contests...

    What stand's out

    No team looks more cohesive as a unit than USC, and much of the falls on the shoulders of their splendid point guard Eaddy. He's one of the better college guards I've seen play this year. Doesn't wow you with his athleticism, but runs that squad like clockwork and rarely hurts you. He's exactly...

    Watching these Kellan Grady highlights

    When a spot-up shooter shoots 38% from 3-point range, we say "That's decent." But when a multi-skilled player shoots that percentage by taking long-range, step-back, and pull-up shots, we say "I'm intrigued." Watching his pleasantly surprising highlights, aside from his shooting ability, I'm...

    Former UK D-Line Coach Jimmy Brumbaugh fired at Tennessee

    Yeah, the defensive line was the problem. [roll]

    Team walks out of practice

    I've not weighed in on this forum in awhile, but thought I'd contribute a couple of thoughts. (1) One of the best things to do when a group of people decide to do something like what UK football players did in walking out of practice is to ask them why they decided to do it. You're going to...

    Round 1 HotelBlue vs. BigBlueFanGA

    A few comments: For all the talk about GA's lineup being better offensively, Hotel Blue's heart of the order (Mattingly, Snider, Guerrero--assuming each is in his prime) is truly terrifying and IMO, is better than any three GA can put together. I don't care how good Walter Johnson is, those are...
