With 17:14 left in the game, the Cats had fought their way. And forged a lead on a monster follow by Patterson. Then Gillispie was teed up. Why? For what?
Scott hits a FT. Then two treys, one by TWill, one by Scott. And the Cats are down very quickly by six, 49-43.
As things played out, [...]

The Big Game
January 5, 2009 – 9:17 am
Okay I know you’re waiting with baited breath to read my observations of U of L’s escape yesterday over UK. But I just finished an extended piece for Wednesday’s print edition of LEO, and don’t want to step on my own toes. So to speak. As it were.
Some quick observations. UK would be really good [...]
Two Hours To Tip Off
January 4, 2009 – 2:41 pm
The DVR is set. I’m showered, dressed and, of course, waiting for my better half to get ready so we can head out to the Big Game. I’m of Social Security age. So how come on the day of the U of L/ UK game, I revert to that 13 year old sitting in the [...]
What A Way To Start The Year
January 1, 2009 – 12:30 pm
Hey, Cardinal fans, bet you couldn’t wait to jump out of bed this a.m., pop a few aspirin, shake out the cobwebs from that midnight balloon drop and read about yesterday’s game against UNLV. Pretty nifty New Year’s gift, eh?
I’d say the place to start with a post mortem is at the top. C.L. Brown [...]
He Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere

Lots of rumors floating about that Edgar Sosa, bummed over lack of playing time in the Cards win over UAB, will transfer away. Fuhgettaboutit. I’m told it’s not even a consideration. Pitino truly believes the kid can be a major contributor, but The Rick is frustrated that it’s taking Sosa so long to mature on [...]
Big Game Comin’ Up

In case you surfed right over it on the home page, I wrote a little perspective on that game coming up Sunday. You know, Cats vs. Cards. You can read it here.

Hoya Paranoia . . .
December 29, 2008 – 9:16 pm
. . . is alive and well. Georgetown’s dismantling of UConn is evidence enough that U of L has a mighty ways to go to become competitive in the Big East. The Hoyas take no prisoners. Thompson the Younger’s teams are as tough as Thompson the Senior’s were. Except for one thing. They do it [...]
Cats & Cards: A Week Till Tipoff
December 27, 2008 – 9:47 pm
Didn’t see much of the Cats squeaker over Florida Atlantic. Apparently UK was down in the first half, but held steady and took care of business in the second. I did see the name Landon Slone for a moment on the screen and it didn’t immediately ring a bell. Then I remembered the kid’s a [...]
Cats On The Prowl
December 23, 2008 – 12:00 pm
Yeah I know that UK’s four straight recent wins have come over rummies Mississippi Valley State, IU, Appy State and Tennessee State. But I tell ya, this is looking more and more like a team that nobody’s gonna want to play after the first of the year.
The Cats play tall and tough. And when you [...]
Schadenfreude Saturday Night
December 20, 2008 – 8:21 pm
Leave it to the Germans to come up with the perfect word for those fans who derive as much joy from seeing their arch rivals lose as they do from celebrating a win by their favorite team. Schadenfreude. It’s so hard to avoid.
Thus, for U of L fans, there was a way to salvage a [...]
