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.

2000 Wins!

Let the confetti fly!Thank You ESPNU! Their coverage of UK's 2000th win (88-44 over Drexel) was the most amazing coverage by a national network I have seen in all my years as a UK fan. Go Cats! We could beat some NBA teams I have seen play this year.

Great Commercial

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.

MUSIC CITY BOWL INFO

Thank You Coach! We're Back!

I haven't yelled like I did yesterday for years. A happy yell. I danced in the living room and punched the air. I high-fived Lyndsey, Andrew & Mary and Justin & Kacey through a web cam. 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. Rupp Arena was rocking;especially after this John Wall dunk. KY 68 - NC - 66.

STORY

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
