Let the kvetching commence!
UK beat Sam Houston State handily. Yet, with three fresh faced frosh, playing only their third college game, scoring 66% of the Cats points, the caterwauling still began.
Yes, Kentucky’s defense was as substantial as cardboard that sat at the curb in an all day rain. Giving up 18 threes just days after [...]

Seems like just yesterday we were shvitzin’ like pig on on a spit, waiting for autumn and college football. And here we are at Buckeye/ Wolverine weekend and wonder what’s happened to the glamor and excitement? Yawn.
The slumbering finale of last week’s Iowa/ Ohio State game was the season in microcosm. Tis a campaign that [...]

Before we delve more deeply into Louisville’s W over the depleted Razorbacks, I gots to ask a question.
Who was the guy who not so long ago wrote that Reggie Delk and Jared Swopshire were the weak links in this year’s version of the Cardinals, that they are the fellows most likely to get lost in [...]

Revised 11/18. 10:25 a.m. An alert reader advises that Lou Holtz does not have bad dentures, but suffers from a speech impediment. In fact, he has become and advocate for people suffering similar speech disorders. Thus my attempts at humor regarding his speech are seriously ill advised. I thus have edited my comments in this [...]

The most disappointing performance of this Monday night — Except for Baltimore and Cleveland who are doing their best U of L vs. ‘Cuse imitation midway through the 2d quarter — is that of the boyz at catspause.com.
I mean they’re actually cutting their 2-0 Cats some slack. Perspective. Whodathunkit?
Okay, one guy was calling for D’Andre [...]

Okay, the title is an obscure quote from the movie, circa late 60s, early 70s, “Putney Swope.”
My point being that everybody I know with even the slightest interest in U of L football is asking anybody who might have once sat next to Tom Jurich at Lake Forest CC’s 19th Hole if they have a [...]

Is this the most boring season in memory?
Sure I’m looking forward to the Cincy/ Pittsburgh matchup. I mean I’ll certainly tune in when Texas plays either Florida or Alabama for the “national championship,” but I’ll be hoping for some good football without worrying whether the winner is the best team in the land. Who will [...]

Louisville steamrolled over Syracuse this afternoon, 10-9
Do not look for replays on ESPN Classic.
But before I slip into the deep negativitude this woeful game deserves, let’s praise some deserving folks.
Trent Guy. He had a 94 yard punt return TD justifiably called back because his knee was down right after the catch. The right call. But [...]

The SEC is different from the Rest of the World. Three Tennessee Vol footballers were involved in an Armed Robbery this week and arrested. I opined yesterday that they would probably play Saturday anyway. I was, of course, attempting to be ironic and humorous. Ah, but fiction is stranger than truth. Here’s an exchange as [...]

You think the current resident of the head coach’s office at the Schnelly Football Complex is the only guy worrying about the home crowd or starting QBs come Saturday?
Think again.
The man whose name appears eponymously on the building — after his local boosters came with some serious cabbage to get ‘er done — is asking [...]
