Big Blue Nation Linkapalooza: Dick Vitale Detonation Edition

Dick Vitale has had it, and he isn't going to waste his time with you radio cynics out there.  Just listen, and enjoy.

Man, Dick was very much excited in that conversation, and he was having none of the suggestion that Calipari has cheated, or that "all coaches violate the rules."  Not.  Buying.  That.  Crap.

Good for Dick.  Sometimes, these radio hosts go over the top.  I think that message was sent, and pretty much recieived.

Today's links:

• This is just hilarious.

• John Connor, the Terminator.
  Hasta la vista, baby!

• Can we re-tool the UK offense?

• Josh Clemons is moving on up.

  It certainly seems that way now. After the Wildcats’ first preseason scrimmage Saturday, offensive coordinator Randy Sanders said sophomore Raymond Sanders looks like UK’s starting tailback, but Clemons is making a strong case to be No. 2. With last season’s top three rushers gone, finding that second guy is a priority.

  I absolutely think this guy is going to be a star at UK.

• Something we have not seen here in a long time.

  Evolving defense -- The Wildcats will add some complexity to their defensive alignments this fall. In addition to the traditional 4-3 formation, Kentucky will trade a lineman for a linebacker on occasion and run a 3-4.

  Interesting.

• Football Wildcats Welcome Students Back to Campus
  Gotta love it.

• Swimming pool day for UK football.
  Via John Clay,

• More on Josh Clemons.
  Looks like the Randall Cobb of this freshman class.

• This definitely looks like "Dissaperius."
  19 minutes, 0-2 shooting, no steals, no blocks, 1 total point and 4 total rebounds. I can point to about 5 Kentucky losses last year that had a nearly identical line.

  Playing the "Don't hate me for being a dumba**" card.

• Brian Adams likes the young receivers.
  I want to like them, too.

• Most people believe that Hathaway was forced out by Calhoun.
  It's hard not to believe that. The only place where UConn is having problems in basketball, and God knowns Calhoun can't pay the price for that.
