Kentucky and Ohio St. to participate in a neutral-site game, but will not play each other. I’d love to see us play OSU in one of these exempt events sometime. In fact, I wouldn’t mind adding a home and home with them, just to rub it in Indiana’s face a little. But knowing Calipari, this will never happen. Kentucky will be playing South Florida in the event.

Bobby Petrino’s lack of recruiting success puzzles Adam Himmelsbach. It doesn’t “puzzle” or surprise me. Petrino has never been a particularly good recruiter, but he has bee good at utilizing the personnel he has. In this article, some claim that teams are using negative recruiting against Petrino, but if so, nobody deserves it more.
