Interesting Photo - Rupp in Rupp

The arena is, of course, named for Basketball Hall of Fame coach Adolph Rupp, who guided the Wildcats to four national championships while at the helm of the hardcourt from 1930 to 1972. The "Baron of the Bluegrass" lived to see his namesake completed, dying at age 76 one year after the arena's inaugural season got under way in 1976. The stars must have aligned in a strange way that sad evening in December 1977 when Rupp passed away, for the UK basketball team was out of town, beating fellow blueblood Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse, the venerable building named for Rupp's coaching mentor Phog Allen.

Make It 25-1! KY Dodges The Bullet & Water Bottles In Overtime - 81-75

The Mississippi State fans were the worst I have seen. Not only did they give out Cousin's cell ph number so their classless fans could call Cousins before the game and leave racial slur messages for him; they also chanted "refs suck" repeatedly throughout the game and then they threw water bottles on the floor after the game. KY ducked their heads however and pulled out a tough one in overtime. STORY

Everything He Touches Turns To _______


BO called the KY basketball team the afternoon before the game to congratulate them for helping raise $1 million for Haiti and the Cats go GO DOWN to South Carolina one day after being ranked #1. Coincidence? :)

"Be honest," Downey said. "No one gave us a chance."
That included Obama, not that Downey wanted to crow like Cocky the mascot.
"I'm scared to say anything," he said. "That's the president. Somebody might be knocking on my door in the morning."

An Evening in O'Connell Arena - 17-0 Baby!


Tuesday night was fun as I got an up close first hand look at Gator basketball. Obvious differences between Gator basketball and KY basketball:
1. Much smaller arena
2. Gator basketball fans get down on their team very quickly. KY fans stand yelling "defense" or they're up encouraging the team when they fall behind. FL fans only get excited when it gets close or they get the lead. As soon as they fall behind, the fans start pouting.
3. FL's student section loves shouting vulgarities! Thank God I did not have a small child anywhere near it.
4. There only seems to be 2 or 3 cheers that the fans know and all of them have the gator chomp in them; pretty monotonous.

I had a great time! The food in the media room was decent and it was fun watching Dick Vitale, Erin Andrews and ESPN do their thing. Great road win in the SEC for the Cats!

20,720 Hits for Justin on You Tube

from Sports Illustrated...
So pervasive is Wall's influence on Bluegrass culture these days that it wasn't even the first time he'd stolen the show from Louisville. During Kentucky's Big Blue Madness celebration to kick off practice in October, Wall riled up the Rupp faithful with an arm-flexing, wrist-twisting dance routine. No matter how many times Wall says he got the idea from watching Louisville hip-hop king Kenzo's video for Do the Shizz, everyone keeps calling it the John Wall Dance ("Not my dance!" Wall vows). Do a YouTube search, and you'll find it being performed by smitten UK fans atop the Great Wall of China, above the carcass of a deer and even in a scene on the TV show Cougar Town.

Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve

For some strange reason, each year on New Year's Eve, I end up watching Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. This was its 38th year. I think this year is my last. I thought the entertainers were weak, the kisses were stupid, and God Bless him, I just can't understand Dick Clark. I have to give him credit for trying and his speech has actually improved since his stroke last year but the show was painful to watch.

With all that said...Happy New Year! Grandkids are coming and we will be welcoming my brother's fiance' into the family. A lot to look forward to and to be thankful for in 2010. 2009 - not too bad - but I think 2010 is going to be great!

KY's Offense (and some of its most passionate fans) Fall Asleep In Second Half


NASHVILLE — The University of Kentucky took care of one major part of its game plan in the Music City Bowl. It kept Clemson All-America tailback C.J. Spiller in check. That wasn't enough to offset the numerous scoring opportunities the Wildcats squandered. UK moved inside Clemson territory six times Sunday night but ended up with just one touchdown to show for it. That proved to be the Cats' undoing in a 21-13 loss to snap Kentucky's bowl winning streak at three games."It's an extremely disappointing loss," UK Coach Rich Brooks said. "I thought we had quite a few chances where we crossed midfield and we couldn't finish the drives." UK fans Justin West & Andrew Cornell both said "the huge steak dinner and the "festive" chocolate eggnog proved to be too much for us. "Coach Rich Brooks also told the media he's "80% sure" he will not be returning as coach.

KY Basketball Undefeated!

from KSR
Another great win by the Cats and they are now 10-0, after the three game stretch Calipari would “tell us where we are.” So where are we? Well we arent perfect…and I still think Kansas is right there as the favorite. But man this team is very good much quicker than I thought they would be…and they are only getting better. This is the most fun team in the country and it improves on a daily basis.

KY beat the snot out of NC in the first half and hung on to win in the second half. Thank you Coach Cal! I didn't expect this much this quick, but there's no denying; KY is back and it feels good.

Typical Ending To A Typical Season

I have learned to keep my emotions in check when it comes to UK football. KY football is great at ripping your heart out. Last night's game - typical.
On 3rd-and-five and not trusting the freshman Newton to pass with so much at stake, you'd expect Cobb back in the Wildcat, right? Instead, Newton ran a sweep around right end for two yards. At a time when the football gods put victory in UK's grasp, Kentucky had to settle for a game-tying field goal with only 33 seconds left.You know the rest. The game went to overtime. Tennessee won 30-24. And as the ESPNU announcers reminded us at least 47 times, KY has not beat TN in now, 25 years!Hey, but we are going to a bowl, along with 63 other teams. My guess is it will be the "Mediocre Bowl" but at least it will be another opportunity for KY fans to get back on the roller coaster that is KY football.

West Tradition Thanksgiving Notes


Here's how it works. Post something you're thankful for throughout the day on Thanksgiving via the comment section and I will add your note in the jar. As new notes are added, more notes will show up in the jar. See how it works? The tradition started when the kids were small. We would put a jar on the counter on Thanksgiving morning and as thoughts of things we were thankful for would pop in our heads, we would put a note in the jar. Then we would pull all the notes out at the end of the day and read them. We have much for which to be thankful! We had 94 notes in the jar last year. LAST YEAR'S NOTES

Huge - I Mean Huge Win For The Cats!

Big win for KY football fans as KY beat Georgia at Georgia - 34-27! (speaking of big fans, check the guy out on the left) Lyndsey & Andrew came over to enjoy charcoaled burgers, green beans and onion rings before the game. The kickoff was at 7:45 and by the half, Mary, me & Lyndsey were falling asleep. KY was down 20-6 so we all called it a night. Based on it being KY football, the writing was on the wall, right? Thank God I set the dvr to record the second half which Mary & I watched early this morning. Thanks to 2 fumbles and 2 interceptions, KY gets the win and goes to 7-4 on the season. TN coming in next week and if there was ever a season we could beat TN, it's this one. We should be able to secure a pretty good bowl game now. Can you say Chick-Fil-a? Oh yeah - KY won in basketball Sat too over Rider - 92-63. The whole game was a highlight film.

Common Sense From The Smartest Man In The World

By Charles Krauthammer
Friday, November 20, 2009
For late-19th-century anarchists, terrorism was the "propaganda of the deed." And the most successful propaganda-by-deed in history was 9/11 -- not just the most destructive, but the most spectacular and telegenic.

Travesty in New York
Holder's trials and errors
A terrorism trial's myths
And now its self-proclaimed architect, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, has been given by the Obama administration a civilian trial in New York. Just as the memory fades, 9/11 has been granted a second life -- and KSM, a second act: "9/11, The Director's Cut," narration by KSM.

September 11, 2001 had to speak for itself. A decade later, the deed will be given voice. KSM has gratuitously been presented with the greatest propaganda platform imaginable -- a civilian trial in the media capital of the world -- from which to proclaim the glory of jihad and the criminality of infidel America.

So why is Attorney General Eric Holder doing this? Ostensibly, to demonstrate to the world the superiority of our system, where the rule of law and the fair trial reign.

Really? What happens if KSM (and his co-defendants) "do not get convicted," asked Senate Judiciary Committee member Herb Kohl. "Failure is not an option," replied Holder. Not an option? Doesn't the presumption of innocence, er, presume that prosecutorial failure -- acquittal, hung jury -- is an option? By undermining that presumption, Holder is undermining the fairness of the trial, the demonstration of which is the alleged rationale for putting on this show in the first place.

Moreover, everyone knows that whatever the outcome of the trial, KSM will never walk free. He will spend the rest of his natural life in U.S. custody. Which makes the proceedings a farcical show trial from the very beginning.

Apart from the fact that any such trial will be a security nightmare and a terror threat to New York -- what better propaganda-by-deed than blowing up the courtroom, making KSM a martyr and turning the judge, jury and spectators into fresh victims? -- it will endanger U.S. security. Civilian courts with broad rights of cross-examination and discovery give terrorists access to crucial information about intelligence sources and methods.

That's precisely what happened during the civilian New York trial of the 1993 World Trade Center bombers. The prosecution was forced to turn over to the defense a list of 200 unindicted co-conspirators, including the name Osama bin Laden. "Within 10 days, a copy of that list reached bin Laden in Khartoum," wrote former attorney general Michael Mukasey, the presiding judge at that trial, "letting him know that his connection to that case had been discovered."

Finally, there's the moral logic. It's not as if Holder opposes military commissions on principle. On the same day he sent KSM to a civilian trial in New York, Holder announced he was sending Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, (accused) mastermind of the attack on the USS Cole, to a military tribunal.

By what logic? In his congressional testimony Wednesday, Holder was utterly incoherent in trying to explain. In his Nov. 13 news conference, he seemed to be saying that if you attack a civilian target, as in 9/11, you get a civilian trial; a military target like the Cole, and you get a military tribunal.

What a perverse moral calculus. Which is the war crime -- an attack on defenseless civilians or an attack on a military target such as a warship, an accepted act of war that the United States itself has engaged in countless times?

By what possible moral reasoning, then, does KSM, who perpetrates the obvious and egregious war crime, receive the special protections and constitutional niceties of a civilian courtroom, while he who attacked a warship is relegated to a military tribunal?

Moreover, the incentive offered any jihadist is as irresistible as it is perverse: Kill as many civilians as possible on American soil and Holder will give you Miranda rights, a lawyer, a propaganda platform -- everything but your own blog.

Alternatively, Holder tried to make the case that he chose a civilian New York trial as a more likely venue for securing a conviction. An absurdity: By the time Barack Obama came to office, KSM was ready to go before a military commission, plead guilty and be executed. It's Obama who blocked a process that would have yielded the swiftest and most certain justice.

Indeed, the perfect justice. Whenever a jihadist volunteers for martyrdom, we should grant his wish. Instead, this one, the most murderous and unrepentant of all, gets to dance and declaim at the scene of his crime.

Holder himself told The Post that the coming New York trial will be "the trial of the century." The last such was the trial of O.J. Simpson.

Another Good Weekend For UK Sports

Randall Cobb escaped the grasp of a Vanderbilt defender during Saturday's game in Nashville.The Cats (6-4, 2-4) rode Randall Cobb and Derrick Locke to a come-from-behind 24-13 victory in front of a heavily blue crowd of 33,675 at Vanderbilt Stadium, erasing a 13-10 halftime deficit on the way. The victory made UK bowl eligible for the fourth consecutive year. Friday night KY won it's basketball opener as Kentucky's talented youngsters thoroughly whipped a veteran Morehead State team 75-59. The John Calipari era is underway.

Good Sports Weekend For Cat Fans

UK defeated Eastern KY University in football on Saturday 37-12. It took a while for the offense to get on track and they never really dominated EKU (OVC conference) like they should have but we'll take it. Morgan Newton,a true freshman QB, should be the starter the rest of the season instead of the injured junior Mike Hartline who may return for the Vandy game this Saturday at 12:20 on the SEC Network. KY is now 5-4 and needs another win to be bowl eligible. I personally think it will take 7 wins to get them to a bowl which means they have to win two out of the next three. (at Vandy, at Georgia and TN at home.) Meanwhile, KY did dominate Clarion (Calipari's a Clarion alum) in basketball winning 117-52. John Wall - a true freshman - led all scorers with 27 points and 9 assists in their second exhibition game of the season. It feels great to see KY ranked #4 already and seeing what I have seen so far, they could win it all this year if they weren't so young. It will definitely be a fun season and I personally look forward to huge wins over Louisville and Florida.

Thanks To Justin And Also Justin TV We Were Able To Watch KY Basketball

Lyndsey, Andrew (HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREW!) Mary & I were able to watch Justin's TV in Chas SC thanks to our web cams. After finishing a wonderful birthday dinner prepared by Mary, we fired up our web cams and settled in to watch KY basketball. It worked but half way through the first half we found a more solid stream through Justin.TV and went that route. I still can't believe we live this far south and our cable company doesn't offer Fox Sports South. Anyway, the Cats destroyed Campbellsville, KY 74-38 in an exhibition game. This team has a ton of weapons. It will be a fun season.

“Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Flavor”

In honor of the 44th President of the United States, Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has introduced a new flavor: " Barocky Road ." Barocky Road is a blend of half vanilla, half chocolate, and surrounded by nuts and flakes. The vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient. The nuts and flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow. The cost is $100.00 per scoop. When purchased it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, but then the ice cream is taken away and given to the person in line behind you. You are left with an empty wallet and no change,holding an empty cone with no hope of getting any ice cream. Are you stimulated?

Billy Donovan and Kentucky

Thursday, as SEC coaches and players gathered in Birmingham for the 2009-10 preseason media day, Donovan was an afterthought in the day-long gathering. The Gators were the final team to appear before members of the print media, and by then the room that had been packed earlier for new Kentucky head coach John Calipari was largely empty.

Barely a dozen reporters bothered to stick around to hear what Donovan had to say, and only a few ventured over to talk with junior forward Chandler Parsons.

Whatever fame the Gators found from their title years has quickly disappeared following consecutive seasons in which they missed the NCAA Tournament entirely, a fact that Donovan acknowledged Thursday.

"You look at Kentucky's tradition over the years or Arkansas' tradition or the tradition of different programs, I can't sit here and say that Florida's tradition was a great tradition," Donovan said. "We were fortunate over the last 10 or 12 years to have some really good players and some good teams. Now the challenge is to try to get back to that." Click below for more thoughts from Donovan about KY.

Maintaining A Positive Attitude

I have been avoiding the news for the most part the last few weeks. It helps me maintain a positive attitude. But when the two smartest political commentators I know (Rick West and Charles Krauthammer) speak up - I listen. This is one move by BO's socialist regime I feel will definitely backfire on them.

Rahm Emanuel once sent a dead fish to a live pollster. Now he's put a horse's head in Roger Ailes's bed.

Not very subtle. And not very smart. Ailes doesn't scare easily.

The White House has declared war on Fox News. White House communications director Anita Dunn said that Fox is "opinion journalism masquerading as news." Patting rival networks on the head for their authenticity (read: docility), senior adviser David Axelrod declared Fox "not really a news station." And Chief of Staff Emanuel told (warned?) the other networks not to "be led [by] and following Fox."

Meaning? If Fox runs a story critical of the administration -- from exposing "green jobs" czar Van Jones as a loony 9/11 "truther" to exhaustively examining the mathematical chicanery and hidden loopholes in proposed health-care legislation -- the other news organizations should think twice before following the lead.

The signal to corporations is equally clear: You might have dealings with a federal behemoth that not only disburses more than $3 trillion every year but is extending its reach ever deeper into private industry -- finance, autos, soon health care and energy. Think twice before you run an ad on Fox. STORY

Big Win On The Road! KY 21 - Auburn 14


Kentucky played one of the best games I have ever seen them play. If they had played the QB trio they played at Auburn against Alabama and SC we could be sitting at 5-1 instead of 3-3. Finally, the schedule eases up for the next few games. Randall Cobb (scoring here) could be the most exciting player I have ever seen wear a UK uniform.

23 DAYS! Until KY Basketball Begins...

SOUTH CAROLINA 28, KENTUCKY 26
Another reminder yesterday of just how frustrating it can be to be a UK Football fan. A ridiculous play call on a 2 point conversion play probably cost KY the game. KY drove the ball down SC's throat using Randall Cobb in the Wildcat formation - scored and then called a pass play with a rookie QB in the game for the 2 point conversion. Of course SC batted the pass down and UK falls short again. We cannot beat Spurrier. We get out coached every time we play him. I can't think of an opposing coach I would want to beat more. Oh well....the first tip is only 23 days away.

What Really Bothers Me About The Letterman Scandal

What bothers me as much as the "light-hearted" approach that Letterman is taking, is the applause and laughter from his audience. They genuinely seem to not be bothered about Lettermans's improper behavior. He got a very large applause when he made the first announcement and continues to draw laughs as he jokes about it. The real victims here are Letterman's family and to me it's as if everyone is laughing at them.

I Was Afraid It Would End Badly


I predicted last winter that the Billy Gillispie story would end badly - but - maybe I was wrong. Having your mugshot for a DUI all over the papers and sports channels is not good but at least he's smart enough to recognize he has a problem and he's taking steps to overcome it. Best of luck to BCG with his personal life but I hope he loses his legal battle against the University of KY. This certainly won't help his case.
HOUSTON - Former Kentucky basketball coach Billy Gillispie voluntarily checked himself into the John Lucas Athletes After Care Program last week in Houston for alcohol-related counseling.
