Chicago Sun-Times Reporter Michael O'Brien: Learning From the 'Best and the Brightest'
The sky is falling! The sky is falling! ... I'm sure that was the reaction Chicago Sun-Times "reporter" Michael "Would You Like Fries With That" O'Brien intended among UK fans when he wrote his (now famous) blatantly sophomoric story citing a rumor that UK-target, blue chip basketball prospect...
Statistical Comparison: '08-'09 UK to '08-'09 Memphis
With the University of Kentucky releasing the official men's basketball roster for the 2009-2010 season, I thought this might be a good time to do a statistical comparison between UK and Memphis' 2008-2009 stats (and for those who spout-off about the pungent odor emanating from Conference USA,...

With Jodie Meeks finally discovering his draft fate (41st to the Bucks), the question UK fans are now attempting to answer is: What will constitute a successful 2009-2010 Kentucky Wildcat basketball campaign? After talking with fellow 'Cat fans, and reading via the Internet the thoughts of the...

Kentucky Derby Festival Classic: Evaluating the UK Recruits
First of all, let me say that the Kentucky Derby Festival Classic was a fun game. There were a lot of enthusiastic fans there, and if I were a recruit from any of the three main schools in the area, I would have been impressed by the atmosphere, enthusiasm, and overall support the fans gave to the...
UK Basketball: Pondering the Possibilities of Calipari
