Stories of local interest from around the 'Net
Email
PrintHere are some stories of local interest. I apologize for the tardy post, but I was away from the computer for 4-5 hours longer than I anticipated:
John Clay, in his Sidelines blog, has some thoughts on Derrick Jasper, and Patrick Sparks' DUI arrest in Bowling Green.
For a write-up on the UK Bat 'Cat loss to Arizona go here.
Final Bat 'Cat season statistics can be found here.
Larry Vaught has some thoughts on Derrick Jasper leaving, and what it implies for UK.
Eric Crawford has a bit more sinister look (well, maybe "sinister" is too strong of a word) at Jasper and his injury.
Enjoy the links, tomorrow they will be up earlier, I promise.
UPDATE: Greetings from Oahu! I will try to keep the news links more current. I just got the computer fully up and functional (I had to go buy a wireless router, I simply cannot stand sitting indoors when it is so beautiful on the lanai outside).
Expect better links updates and even a post or two shortly. We are finally getting settled in.

'Tis I ...
indeed.
We are shortly heading for our anniversary dinner in a nice beach front restaurant.
But I did update the news links. Thanks for posting them also. I’ll be on the beach most of the day tomorrow, but I’ll update some stuff before I go to bed tonight and have link updates later tomorrow. Obviously, being six hours behind, most of the news will get reported while I am sleeping. :-)

Thanks for the well-wishes.

We are selfish, however...
We all want UK news from you all the time tru but I am sure everyone of your loyal readers would not mind if you took a week or two off from posting to enjoy your vacation!
Especially during the slow news period we are in, no one would think less of you!
My only request is that you proudly wear the Blue & White wherever you go so when you come back we can hear how many times you heard “Go Cats!” even in Hawaii. That is one of the truly great things about UK fans, we are everywhere! I once got a “GO CATS!” on the beaches of the bahamas by a guy who was braiding my wifes hair! UK fans are the greatest!
Enjoy your vacation!
UK has the greatest fans in the world!
Thanks.
I really will be wearing the Blue and White, just as I do everywhere. Believe it or not, the ‘Cats are fairly beloved of the Hawai’ian isles. Last time I was here I picked up a stuffed animal made locally that was decked out in UK regalia. Very cool stuff. That was on Maui back in the mid-1990’s
Thanks for the well-wishes. They are appreciated.

"You lose that sacred cow status when you lose three straight years"
I understand the change… and TBH, I understand what Dumars is trying to say. But there are about 25 other teams in the league that would love to have his problems right now…
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."
Roburt Sallie Visiting This Weekend
(Clipped from Hoopmasters when he signed with Nebraska last fall, where the coach is a former Gillispie assistant at UTEP)
Sallie will join the Huskers after playing this season at City College of San Francisco for Coach Justin Labagh. A 6-4, 190-pound guard from Sacramento, Sallie is averaging 21 points, 10.7 assists and 6.3 rebounds per game while helping CCSF to a 3-0 start to the season.
At Sacramento (Calif.) Valley High School, Sallie was an All-Metro selection his last two years, averaging 21.5 points per game as a senior. He was the Delta League MVP in 2003 and helped the Vikings to back-to-back sectional titles and two appearances in the NorCal finals. Sallie originally signed as a high school senior with Washington.
After completing his high school degree at Laurinburg (N.C.) Institute in 2005, Sallie spent a season at the prep school level playing for The Patterson School in Lenoir, N.C. Sallie averaged 13 points, seven assists and four rebounds per game while helping Patterson to a 34-3 record in 2005-06. Sallie played for Coach Chris Cheney at both Laurinburg and Patterson, helping his teams to a 74-3 record over two years, including a perfect 40-0 mark and prep school national title during the 2004-05 campaign when Sallie averaged 11 points per game.
Following the 2005-06 campaign, Sallie signed with Nebraska and started classes in the fall of 2006, but was not cleared by the NCAA Clearinghouse. He then enrolled for the second semester at CCSF, where he focused on academics and did not play basketball. Sallie has also been recruited during his career by Memphis, Maryland, Kansas, Wake Forest, St. John’s and Seton Hall, among others.
