I have been a Cincinnati Reds fan ever since I can remember. Probably just as long as I’ve been a Kentucky basketball fan. I remember them rolling into the 1990 World Series and surprising everyone, except Reds fans of course, when they swept the Oakland A’s. I remember the 1 game playoff against the Mets [...]

Welcome!
I’m sure a few people have strayed over here after seeing the Patrick Patterson announcement videos (thanks, Beisner). And to that I say, welcome! Stick around for awhile or check back occasionally.

What is it about Wednesday?
Could we be going from one of the most depressing Wednesdays in Kentucky basketball history when 5 Wildcats “declared” for the NBA draft to one of the best Wednesdays ever?

John Wall wants to stay?
A few weeks ago, there was speculation that John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins wanted to come back for another year. Even more recently, John Calipari said on the Dan Patrick Show that Wall wants to come back. Calipari says they’ll have to talk about it. I’m sure Calipari will tell Wall that he’s ready to [...]
Game day notes
