Revised 10/22 @ 10:18 a.m. I stand corrected. I’m advised that the gentlemen were spotted eating dinner not lunch. My apologies for any inconvenience this misinformation might have caused.
From a source both reliable and intelligent, a fellow not inclined to gossip or engage in idle chatter, this nugget, which he swears to be true.
Spotted [...]

Just in case you’re a Cardinal fan delusional enough to believe that Jon Gruden might be, could be, would be U of L’s next coach, listen up.
It’s never gonna happen. Never never ever ever.
A source who is close to Gruden’s brother, Jay, the former Cardinal QB under The Schnell, confirms my beliefs all along after [...]
The Indy guard will just be a junior this season, meaning he won’t be able to suit up for the college of his choice until autumn of 2011. Yet, fans of several schools are anxiously awaiting his decision.
As if it would make any difference NOW.
Much of the anticipation is due to a statement last winter [...]
Southern Cal’s beleaguered hoops coach has submitted his resignation.
What took him so long?
I mean the guy said he got O.J. Mayo when one of the kid’s homies dropped into Floyd’s office out of the blue and asked if he wanted Mayo on his team? Oh yeah, Floyd just happened to have a thousand bucks in [...]
Statement from University of Louisville Head Men’s Basketball Coach Rick Pitino, responding to an ESPN.com report on Wednesday that he has offered a vacant assistant coaching position on his staff to current Holy Cross Head Coach Ralph Willard:
“Yes, I have offered the position to Ralph. I’ve also offered the last four openings we’ve had at [...]
It was a desperate plea, the email I got this morning from a loyal reader and pal.
Subject line said: “Addict.”
“I admit it. I have a problem. I’m jonesing big time. Do you have ANY U of L Hoops news?!! ANY!”
To my friend, repeat after me, “My name is XXXXXX, and I’m a Hoopaholic.” It’s the [...]
Meaning that Memphis State’s basketball program is in a heap o’ heap. And, despite several Final Four appearances — without a title, of course — the Tigers remain, truth be told, a wannabe. We honor the former Tiger head coach — and U of L assistant before that — because, well, he was always out [...]
Don’t get too excited. The word today is that, surprisingly, there’s nary a word.
I kinda just wanted to remind one and all that, in the wake of events down the road, U of L has not shut down its hoops program.
The second major curiosity of this most titillating off season for the Cardinals is who [...]

There are any number of credible sports websites now reporting that John Wall, the superpep point guard extraordinaire that should and could lead UK to the Promised Land, will lead UK to the Promised Land.
There’s been nary a hint of public confirmation from him or his camp, but the word is [...]
Remember way back when baseball basher and admitted steroid user Jose Canseco came out with a book that dared say that there were a whole lot of major leaguers juicing up.
Big names.
Small names.
Lots o’ names.
And, we the wise, knowing and trusting public just laughed in Jose’s face, thinking and saying he was an idiot, a [...]
