I am SO ready for tonight!

for all of the recruting experts and all of their talk and concerns and hype…..every one of the so-called “questionable” recruits has been enrolled somewhere and we have heard nothing of any NCAA penalties or suspensions, with the exception of John Wall’s 2 game deal. No problems with Lance Stephenson, or the kid at Miss St. or any of the other “tainted” recruits. Guess there was more hype to their problems than substance.

OK….TRU was right I was wr……wr……..wr……you know what I mean.

 Darius Miller is going to be fine, as he learns his way into being aggressive. I think he needs Patterson to sit him down and tell him how much it has helped him….or maybe he will just see it??

UNC WILL get better….they always do…..Roy Williams is Pitino-like in one way….he will allow his team to struggle through an opponent to get a point across….I would say that got their attention.

I have heard all the he said-she said about whether we will be better with Newton than Hartline or not….fact is now, that Newton must play, and play well if we are to stand a chance against the other two opponents we face. Our running game is spectacular for here at Kentucky….matter of fact, it aint too shabby for anywhere. Georgia and UT are going to jam up the line of scrimmage and cut off those outside corner lanes to keep Locke and Cobb penned up…..we better be able to open them if we want a shot at winning. I hate that they tried to bring Hartline back too soon.I wish Newton had more time to get ready for them, but ready or not…..Georgia is Saturday…..let’s go roast us a “hot” dog.

Wish Memphis would let Kansas have it…….just for a little of the Daily Schaden….whatever the devil that is…..lol……my honest assessment is that Miami wont score over 50 tonight……and we will…. ;-)

always the most fun to watch. My mind has questioned whether we will see a lot of it or not. (Me really hopes we do.) Friday night’s assist numbers from our point has me wondering, wondering and wondering some more.

Tonight should really help me determine whether the DD could possibly be a pass killer. I remember hearing Cal during the game yell “SHOOT”. Not once did I hear “pass it”. I want the blind look passes from behind the back….LOL…..I will be okay….I still love it.

Can we have a superman on both teams, Tru? Have we ever seen that? I love the ‘little’ guys we watch on Saturdays. They may look smaller when the team is huddled, but they are just as big inside. Exactly how they should feel too.

RTC, 24 hour live-blogging marathon? I am anxious to see if I can keep up with 3 basketball games and one football game this week. :-)

Any one can play the likes of Eastern, Western and Norfork State.
The question is, do they need these wins to get to the sacred six win catagory? Think Kentucky could get there without the ‘buy wins’? Florida doesn’t need to play them, but they can us them to get their younger players some game time. Didn’t the Cats still have the first team in late in the game against Miami of OHIO? We needed to get the frist team ready to blou out Louisville by four.
Winning two conference games a year is not quite what I would consider gaining respect. If we go on and beat Georgia and Tennessee, then we’ve improved Beat either one of them and we have improved. Lose to both, nope, not in your wildest dreams.
Brooks and Barnhart got their bonuses. A bowl game. Isn’t that all that matters?

Again, not impressed with our coaching. The move to Hartline was just inexplicable in my book.
What a running game though. What always tickles me about attending games is the experts sitting around you. This one guy kept hollering in the first half “throw the ball down the field”…after the two picks, he pretty much shutup. We were running the ball too well to risk turnovers and sacks.
It’s always refreshing to go to a road game and see more blue than the opposing team’s colors. I would have been embarrassed if I was a vandy fan.

Go to Athens this weekend. You’ll see some red. A bunch of red. And a white bull dog that has been known to bite opposing players when they score.
A great atmosphere. SEC style fun and I think you’ll see just what we need at Kentucky as far as tailgating.
Nothing beats going to the real football schools in the south and seeing the fun they have in the parking lots
This stull is a ‘religion’ to those fans.

I’m reminded of a story by the late Lewis Grizzard about Bubba and Earl going to a Georgia football game. During a timeout Uga went out on the field, sat down and started doing to himself what dogs often do. Earl said, “I wish I was able to do that” and Bubba said, “You could, but Uga would bite you.”
