And it sucked. The basketball gods got together last night and decided that like taxes, everyone needs something to hate in this world, and today it’s going to be Duke. I was only able to catch the end of the game, but it was enough; Coach K’s tears and the comparison of him to Rupp [...]

How’s everyone doing?
Hey there. How’s everyone doing? It’s like Saturday night never happened, right? Yeah… Except it did. Little reminders keep pricking me like needles: NPR’s sports correspondent (yes, almost an oxymoron, I know) talking about the unpredictable Final Four, the pitying l[...]

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[...]

The Cats absolutely rolled the Deacons tonight in a performance that had Kentucky fans across the country doing a happy dance. The unsung Cats continue to step up and shine in this tournament–first it was Eric Bledsoe, tonight it was Darius Miller, with a game-high 20 points. One has to feel[...]

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[...]

The glass must be half full
Hey guys and gals. I’ve missed you! I just returned from a weekend trip to Tunica (Vegas of the South), and man have things changed. Our beloved 27-1 Wildcats are now 27-2 and the Chicken Littles are creating more of a frenzy than the Sunday morning crowd at the Paula Deen buffet. The Ca[...]

Play that techno again, Sam: Cats crush Cocks
That was fun. Redemption ruled at Rupp tonight as the Cats crushed the Cocks, 82-61. Gone is the three-game losing streak to SC, gone is Mr. Fabric Softener (who had a relatively quiet 26 point performance), gone is the ghost of Kentucky past. Kentucky was able to control the game completely a[...]
