. . . the big parade welcoming Coach Cal to the Bluegrass, we should maybe have taken a better look around the corner in the direction they were coming from, don’t ya think?
‘Cause the way it’s lookin’, Coach Cal may indeed be Conman Cal. At best, UK fans hope he morphs into Harold Hill, you [...]
Tigers and Wildcats are restless here in the Heartland. It’s not a good thing. (Except for Lachlan’s radio ratings.) Where are those wild beast tamers when we really need them? Hiding out in Vegas?
Which means I have a few further thoughts on the Gillispie lawsuit, Memphis State investigation and John Wall criminal case. (And, no, [...]
Welllllllllllllll now, isn’t this an interesting turn of events?
Seems that Memphis State has known since January 16 that it was under investigations for major violations in John Calipari’s basketball program. The charges seem to concern the claim that a Memphis player had somebody else take his SAT test for him, and that the school provided [...]
The Rick has used the term when talking about the University of Louisville basketball program.
Coach Cal has used the concept when talking about the University of Kentucky basketball program.
LeBron James’ cadre of handlers and business managers have used the word when talking about their, uh, product. That would be LeBron James.

Some Big Blue fans are already ordering their national championship t-shirts. They want to be the first one in their new finery down at the General Store.

He spoke to a local men’s group the other night here in Louisville.
He sung the praises of his latest hire — John Calipari — and advised his audience that indeed Coach Cal would have been earning more, had he stayed at Memphis, than he is at UK. Speaking of UK’s recently [...]
The general consensus is that the merging of John Calipari’s energy, coaching acumen and recruiting savvy with UK’s tradition, rabid fan base and huge home court is a perfect storm for success.
Right now, it’s hard to disagree.
The Big Blue Nation is pumped. The nation’s sports wires can’t get enough Wildcat news. U of L fans [...]
These days using the right sports terminology might cost you.
The next time you want to talk about a hoopster making a sweeping hook shot, and you figure you’ll describe it as a “sky hook,” you’d better get permission. These days you gotta pay to say that.
Seems that the ever cranky Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has, uh, tradmarked [...]
If nothing else, John Calipari’s hire by UK has kicked the whole U of L/ UK thing into overdrive. Tis a smackdown which makes Vince McMahon jealous.
On a UK message board, there’s a thread about whether signee Daniel Orton has asked the school for a release from his Letter of Intent or not? One fan, [...]
