Well, it’s official. Just as we predicted when Calipari was hired, Kentucky has reclaimed its title as the Evil Empire of College Basketball. Just ask the New York Times and Turkey. Enes Kanter, the top recruit in Kentucky’s 2010 class, is from Turkey. Before he moved to the States, [...]

RGWS Report Card: Kentucky vs. Louisville
Every time I visit Kentucky, a feeling of relief washes over me. This can be contributed to that wonderful familiarity of being in one’s hometown and spending time with family and old friends, but for me, during football and basketball season, there’s another reason. I’m with my [...]

The Battle of the Ugly Uniforms
The first day back from a holiday weekend is always difficult. But, at least we have one heck of a football game to talk about around the water cooler (and no, I’m not talking about Kentucky/Louisville, which I will write more about later today). Maybe I was just starved for good football,[...]

On Any Given Saturday
One of my favorite sportswriters is Chuck Culpepper. He used to write for the Lexington Herald Leader in the late 90′s and reading his column was always the highlight of my Sunday sports page. Chuck is now a freelance sportswriter for the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, and Newsday [...]

You can almost smell the Kentucky Fried Cardinal in the air…
…it must be Game Week! The long, hot sports-less summer is almost over and Nature’s favorite season, Fall, is upon us. College football kicks off tomorrow night, and come Saturday, we will all forgo the beautiful weather for our couches, televisions, and beer. Besides, if you open [...]

“W”s in Fantasy Football
My fantasy football league draft is this Sunday and once again, I’m the only gal in the group. This is a pretty familiar feeling. But, I always wonder how the guys in my league feel about having a girl in their manly pretend world. When they look at the schedule and see our matchup, do [..[...]

Bear Bryant Prefers Hats to Halos in Heaven
You know people are desperate for football to kick off when they start seeing dead football coaches in the sky. Thanks to the internet, we have yet another reason to make fun of Alabama. Per the weather blog for ABC 33/40 in Alabama: Thanks to Petty Officer Neil Eubanks for this image… he writes[...]

All hail Randall Cobb
I started making plans for college football yesterday. While planning a Labor Day weekend trip to Kentucky, I realized that football was less than a month away. The countdown is truly on, people. You know it’s time for fall when your pulse quickens for quite possibly the most meaningless spo[...]

Tebow’s Nike Trainer 1.2: The Ugliest Sneaker Ever
I’ll be frank: I don’t like Tim Tebow. Never have, never will. He just straight up irritates me. The day he and Urban Meyer said their tearful goodbyes as he boarded a plane to Denver was a day I cheered: finally, my college football games would be rid of the Tebow worship. Let the[...]

I miss college football
By Tyler Thompson Last Saturday, I was at a cook out and had a spicy buffalo wing for the first time in months. Immediately, I was transported a month and a half into the future, with a comfy sofa under me and a frosty beer in my hand. My television was blaring with the wonderful [...][...]
