And I’m not talking football, but the sport that was, is and always will be #1 in the Land o’ Red & Black: Basketball.
My source is a person of reasonable reliability with no reason to pass along anything so spicy unless he/ she believed it was with merit, a person who has been part of [...]

My double trouble panel of football experts has finally weighed in on Louisville’s disheartening loss to UK. State Champ is like Jaws, he never opines until he’s watched the tapes. His sidekick Sportsby never opines until he’s sure he’s right (which means he waits to hear what State Champ has to say then essentially [...]

Overheard at Commonwealth Stadium before the game was this observation by one Big Blue fan to another:

My favorite pre-game take on the Governor’s Cup battle came from a rabbi at one of the local synagogues. Yesterday was Rosh Hashonah, the first full day of the Jewish High Holidays. Kidding both Cardinal and Cat fans in his congregation, he mentioned how both have always wanted their teams to play on New [...]

The Green Wave is taking the $$$$ — $700 large — to avoid crossing paths with the Bayou Bengals after this season.

Isn’t the Object to Win the Races? I stake no claim to any expertise when it comes to car racing, be it stock or whatever. (I did just buy a Subaru WRX, and all of a sudden lead-footed teenagers are eying me at stoplights, but that’s the extent of my racing knowledge.)
But, riddle me this [...]

An eagle eyed reader has advised of some UK hoops staff changes observed by Cat fan Larry Vaught at his all things Big Blue web site.

The Film Babe and I are going to see the late show of “In The Loop.” But it doesn’t start for another hour and a half. So here I am killin’ time, thinking about the world of sports.
Is Rachel Alexandra the sportsperson of the year?

At one point during U of L’s dismal performance last night against a seriously bad Indiana State team on which the Cards should have scored at will, I turned to some fellow scribes within whisper shot and asked: “How are they going to spin this performance?”
To his credit, Steve Kragthorpe kept the sugar coating in [...]
