Not the real Gimel, of course. Tries to be rational in the face of hoops hysteria. Former writer at A Sea of Blue, now blogs at blog.kentuckysportsradio.com.

We Find Its Always Better To Fire People On A Friday

No, I didn't actually get fired.
What happened is that I've been asked to join the staff over at Kentucky Sports Radio, and I accepted. I was definitely not unhappy. I do apologize for not posting much, you guys deserve better. (This has been, by far, the most stressful 5 months of my life. Let's just say I've had some family illness capping off a clusterfuck at work.)
While I won't be blogging here, I will comment, make FanPosts & FanShots and stuff. One of the things that drew me to ASoB is that you guys are the best Wildcat Fan community. I mean, civil discussion and respectful treatment of rivals, on the Internet? That's amazing.
So I'm not going away, but I'm just jumping back to being a regular reader. You thought you could get rid of me that easily? :)

You see guys pregame singing Kanye West songs. How can they freaking understand every word that he’s saying but they can’t freaking understand the freaking signals. That’s what discouraging. If you can remember every word to a Kanye West song you should remember a dang hand signal that we work on every freaking day.
UK Offensive Coordinator Joker Phillips (as reported by Matt Jones at KSR).
3 comments Storming the Floor's Fantasy Olympic Basketball Team
An excellent assessment of how college talent may have been selected for the USA's Olympic Basketball team.
The Wildcat homer in me wonders how Joe Crawford didn't break into that list, though. ;)
A Word, Please
When people tell you that blogs are worthless, send them to this column. It is well-written, moving and very deathly serious.
Gillispie Won't Accept Offers From Young Players
National Association of Basketball Coaches says, "Don't do that anymore" and Billy says, "no prob!"
Matthew Pilgrim Enrolls at UK?
Hopefully we'll have an official announcement in the morning.
Its Officially Official: Jasper to Transfer
I really like Derrick as a player and a person -- given what I've seen of him off-the-court. I really do wish him the best.
Somebody send Coach K the link to this video. And force him to watch it 3 times a day.
Thank Goodness! CBS Sportline's Clay Travis Weighs in on Billy Recruiting Young
Now I can finally sleep soundly at night, knowing that humorist Clay Travis has written the definitive missive about Billy recruiting young, a month or so after the initial hubbub.
Oh ho ho! I have applied sarcasm to my current writing!
(Seriously, don't get your panties in a wad; Travis takes a nice overwritten shit on us, but its not worth getting pissed off about, or worth adding him to the "List of UK Enemies" list.)
Edit: I want to apologize to frankpos over at CardChronicle.com. I didn't credit him for directing me to the Clay Travis article. Sorry, frankpos!
Wooooo! 'Bama vs. Kentucky Game Thread

As the South Carolina/Vanderbilt game wraps up, I figured I'd put out a Game Thread for those of you who want to comment along with the crucial rematch with the Crimson Tide. I'll be listening along with the audio stream, but you may want to watch it on the boobtube. (Remember, my fellow Lexingtonians, that tonight's game will be shown on Fox Sports Network, and not on the Insight channel 17.)
Updated 12:22 AM Saturday: Revenge is a dish best served cold, and it is very cold in Hoover. Kentucky gets spanked 13-4. Kentucky's pitchers got very little help from the defense, which committed several costly errors. Just a bad night for the Wildcats, which ends their SEC Tournament experience this year.
Let's hope the Wildcats can smooth out these problems before the NCAA Tournament.
