More fuel for the fire: ESPN doesn't include UK's 2009 class in the top 25

While Scouts and Rivals both have Kentucky's incoming class ranked in the top ten, ESPN's ratings seem to have UK somewhere between 26-30. (They list the class of Orton, Hood, and Villarino as "On the Cusp.")

I know there's a lot of disparity in recruiting evaluations, but this just seems egregious to me.

What was the final tally on Hansborough vs Duke comments from Dickie V?

chirop1 — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 22:38:43 -0000

I know there were a handful of people who were keeping tabs on how often Dickie V was mentioning Coach K, Tyler Hansborough's "passion," and Ashley Judd's kissing prowess. (Thank God Donna Smith wasn't there for him to swoon over!)

I was wondering if anyone stayed lucid enough and interested in the game enough to actually tally these up? I'd love to see the final numbers.

I only remember one Ashley sighting, a handful of Bobby Knight references, and a metric crap ton of references to what a special player Tyler Hansborough is.

Dana O'Neil: The Gray Area of Recruiting

A few digs at Gillispie here... and the actual dollar amount paid to Daniel Orton's dad. (Hint: It makes the $1000 in the Emory Express envelope look cheap.)

Bilas, Forde, Gottlieb pick Patterson 2nd Team All-American

And in other news... Dick Vitale hasn't been paying attention to what's been going on in Arizona.

He's the only one on the entire panel to put Chase Buddinger on his First Team... and only Mark Slabach even bothered to put him on the Second Team.

Gary Parrish: "Texas and Ohio State are better programs than Kentucky"

Gary Parrish: "Texas and Ohio State are better programs than Kentucky"

I don't think I need to waste my energy even typing a rebuttal to the sheer ridiculousness that is this drivel.

Clearly, he's just trying to increase his hit count on his page by spewing a little vitriol in our direction. Its the same guy that acknowledged that Kentucky fans dominate the internet.

Fulmer Out After This Year

Fulmer Out After This Year

Apparently, it won't require a loss to UK to get Fulmer to leave. Unfortunately, this makes our game against Tennessee as Fulmer's last game as UT head coach. Crap. Just what we needed... sentimental BS to fire up the team.

The SEC is disproportionately represented methinks.

Kentucky/UNC to cap off Hoops Marathon on ESPN

chirop1 — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 13:56:07 -0000

I gotta hand it to ESPN, they're definitely shoving college basketball down our throats pretty heavy to kick off the new season! November 18 looks to be a busy day. They're starting at Midnight with UMass and Memphis, then playing some West Coast games through the wee hours of the morning. After all that, they are cramming games all through the day on ESPN and ESPN2 with GameDay in Chapel Hill followed by the Cats and Heels at 9 PM.

Man oh man, I would love to see our boys take that East Coast Bias and shove it right down Dickie V's throat on opening day!
