The only thing better than watching the glory of sports is taking part in it yourself. Just ask Drinkers With a Kicking Problem, a kickball team that Trashy and myself play on each Sunday. Like our name implies, we are a scrappy, slovenly, sudsy bunch who cares more about having fun than actuall[...]

Defense wins Championships
It’s a coach’s mantra, what he preaches to his team throughout the season between sprints and film sessions. Offense sells tickets, Defense wins championships While the Cats looked a bit shaky on offense (my sister blames the rims at the Carrier Dome), their defense completely shut Corne[...]

Cats roll, bring on Wake
Man, that felt good. 100-71. ONE HUNDRED, folks. Kentucky’s dominant performance last night made me feel like I was living in the mid-90′s again. Poor East Tennessee State…they tried, but it was no use. I was actually happy when that one kid got the dunk in the latter part [...]

Sir Charles smiles (we think) as Cats clinch 50th SEC Regular Season Crown
The Cats returned to the SEC throne last night as they secured at least a share of their 50th Regular SEC title with a win over Jawja, 80-68. And, who better to watch our royal ascension than Sir Charles himself. Although the Round Mound of Rebound mainly looked bored on the sidelines, he did must[...]

That’s why they call it rilvalry
So maybe it was a few years ago. It was right after Bruce Pearl came to Knoxville and he and his orange blazer beat the cats. And Bruce said that one of his missions was to bring back the Kentucky/ Tennessee Rivalry and that it’s not a rivalry unless you win a few of them. [...][...]

Thoughts on the Vandy win
Who would have thought that a last second block would be John Wall’s best and most thrilling play on Saturday night? -Super Wall added another clutch performance to his impressive resume, which should also include saving me and Trashy from heart attacks and allowing us to exit Memorial Gym saf[...]

Cats escape upset by the hairs on their chinny chin chin
Whew. Breathe. Mississippi State put our Cats to the test tonight and the Cats passed in overtime, 81-75. I’m just glad we got out of there alive. Seriously–Mississippi State fans are classless immature rednecks. I hope this gets national attention tomorrow. Even Calipari, in his[...]

Cats lack killer instinct in lackluster win over Alabama
Yet another ho-hum win at Rupp last night. John Wall has his best game since Madison Square Garden in December, scoring 22 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Big Boogie showed Bama who’s boss by racking up his seventh straight double double, with 16 points and 13 rebounds. The Cats just co[...]

Cats pounce on, tame, and cage the Tigers
After an alarmingly slow start, the Cats finally picked up steam and rolled past the truly awful LSU Tigers, 81-55. After looking a headlines of game recaps, I decided to write this brief little post only in cliche sport terms. Cal’s Kittens woke up from a cat nap a few minutes into the game[...]

How John Wall Got His Groove Back
John Wall had fun tonight. After the alleged “furor” (seriously, Jimmy Dykes? Give it a rest…) he caused with his comments over the weekend and the widely publicized “hug it out” session with Calipari, Wall got back to being Wall–running, dunking, smiling, sco[...]
