NCAA Madness: Don’t Change the Tourny or We’ll Be on You Like Goverment on a Dollar Bill

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Thought I had posted this before, but even if I did, it’s worthy of a double-post. Here some of the reasons why the NCAA should NOT change the field to 84 or 96 or any huge random number.

The current setup is widely considered the best post season in all of sports. Forking with it runs [...]

Ref Bias: Winning Team Gets More Calls Against Them

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

Just finished watching Kentucky beat Vandy today. What sticks in my mind was how bad the referees were; on both sides! But remember:
Refs favor the home team, the academics say. They’re big on “make-up” calls. They make more calls against teams in the lead, and the discrepancy grows if the game is on national TV. [...]

Spreading UK Love in Iraq

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Just saw this over on Kentucky Sports Radio.
The above picture is of a long-time KSR reader David Kaelin, who has been in Iraq and Afghanistan for some time and presented a Patrick Patterson jersey to two members of the Iraqi Government last week.
How cool is that?

John Wall on the Cover of Sports Illustrated

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

I’ve been giving it a lot of thought and I’ve decided to devote this entire blog to John Wall. So with that in mind, I give you…

I still might change my mind, but for now… let’s run with this.

The Great Wall of Kentucky

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

I’ve never seen a better Freshman basketball player in my life. John Wall is astounding. Check this:
Consider that Wall has played eight games and scored key points in the final minute to help win four of them. Some great college players will go entire careers without doing that. But Wall has already hit a game-winning [...]

Tiger Slow Jam

Friday, December 4th, 2009

It’s not nice to make fun of people but I don’t care. This is hilarious! Tiger Woods knew better but screwed around anyway. Whatever he gets in return… he deserves.

No Such Thing As Duke Bias?

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

And some continue to claim there’s no such thing as Duke bias in the media. The nerve of these people. I believe this screen cap should put an end to those silly-heads.

Miami Coach Responds to Stupid Reporter Question

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Charlie Coles is the head basketball coach at Miami (OH). After losing to UK on a last second shot, he naturally went to the post-game press conference where Dick Gabriel asked him how he let the game get away from him.
It’s almost as if Gabriel was at completely different game. Dork.

Long March to #8 Starts Tonight

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Are UK fans often unrealistic? Sure.
Are UK fans more obnoxious than other fans? More than likely.
Are UK fans looking forward to this basketball season? You better believe it.
“To whom much has been given, much will be expected.”

Sagarin Ranks Kentucky #1 Program of All-Time

Monday, October 5th, 2009

It’s been argued long and hard but now it’s official… at least according to data guru Jeff Sagarin, Kentucky is the #1 basketball program of all time. Numbers don’t lie.
I’ve held this position for some time but it’s a close call when you consider that UCLA does have more national titles. Weighting the different [...]

Coach Gillispie Looking for Help

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

I hate to see anyone struggling like he did. Hopefully his public admission that he’s got a problem with alcohol will start him on the long road to recovery.

Some of these are jaw-droppingly difficult. How many tries did it take??

Basketball Trick Shot Takes It Up a Notch

I wonder how many tries it took this guy to make it? Wow.

John Wall Is Downright Nasty

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Start praying now that Mr. Wall stays a second year at UK… even though that’s highly unlikely.
