Awesome.

I'm sure most of you have been checking your scores and know where to go, but here is the link once again if you need it.

Above is the full television schedule of first and second round games for the tourney, where they will be showing (CBS, TNT, TBS, and TruTV) and the announcers for each game. TruTV channel info can be found here. (I had never heard of that one before)

We do a fair amount of using the mind of Ken Pomeroy around here and so I thought this new thing he is doing might be of interest to some. He is going to start doing his own National Player of the Year award (hence the kPOY) and the link above takes you to his early numbers and how he is going about figuring the winner for his award. Again, these are early results using early numbers, but I was surprised by what I saw. Do me a favor; take a guess as to who the current leader is before you look at the link. Will you be surprised like I was?

"DeAndre Daniels is currently at Kentucky on his third official visit in the last week and could enroll in a college in January. The 6-foot-9, 197-pound small forward from Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academies took recent officials to Kansas and Oregon. He is at Kentucky until Sunday." I'm not super familiar with his skills, but if what is said is true and if he were to enroll midseason, it would be quite an understatement to say that this would be great for our overall team depth.

Assuming this is all accurate and is what will take place, then Pearl's first game back on the sidelines would be in Rupp on February 8. Heh.

If so, check this out. This is brought to you by SBNation and is totally painless to qualify for. A Facebook like, a Twitter follow, and you have to pick the best sports moment you’ve ever watched on TV. Super simple. More details are provided in the above link. Good luck to any UK fans that might enter.

"At the annual Rookie Photo Shoot in August, NBA.com surveyed 40 rookies about the best in their group. Wizards point guard John Wall, the top pick in the Draft, is clearly at the top of the class, but he's not the only Kentucky guy, nor the only one with a chance to win Rookie of the Year."

According to SI. No, UK didn’t make this list (which actually could be considered kind of sad considering that most on the list are there because of their success), but it is fun to take a quick glance and see who, in the world of sports, did make the list. It should come as no surprise that Miami football made the list. Twice. Also, making the list at #12? Yes, that’s right, the 1991-1992 Duke Blue Devils. Could have been higher as far as I’m concerned, but whatever, they made the list, which is good and true, as they are definitely hated. Anyone on the list make you scratch your head? Anyone who you think should have made the list that didn’t? Feel free to discuss.

The above link is courtesy of our member, Remote Cardinal and was also posted in the fanshots, but I thought this was a pretty cool look at all the SEC teams’ helmets both current and of years gone by so I wanted to share it on the front page (thanks, Remote Cardinal). I’m sure a bit of work went into the above compilations and it’s pretty neat to see, so take a quick look. Personally speaking and about UK helmets only, I would say that my favorite helmet would have to be that of the one worn in the years 1963-1968 (it’s similar to what Alabama currently has). I know they are super plain are aren’t real flashy or anything, but I have a soft spot for old-school things and for me, the simple, very basic helmet just conjures up images of those old black-and-white photos and especially images of the coaches of that time as back then coaches would actually dress for games. Shirts and ties, long coats, fedoras, you know, really "dress"? Yeah, I love that sort of polish and refinement.

If you scroll down to the bottom righthand corner of the above link, you will see a really classy 2010 NBA pre-draft video. Keep an eye out and you’ll be sure to recognize some faces, and the faces you recognize are fabulous.
