It is sad that players are let go to bring in others like a business. I thought kids went to college to get an education. To take his/her scholarship based other people coming in to a program is wrong. I guess other schools do it also but maybe not so many at a time. It doesn't matter how many it is still wrong.

Let's see, boy, oh, boy, Barnhart what have you done? Some will say you have hired a crook. Others will say he was just looking for his next hustle. And boy, did he hit paydirt! Highest paid coach in college basketball. Heard that the job he took in the NBA before they devied out the sanctions at UMASS wasn't t oo shabby either. This may be new, lol to u of K fans, but for Cal this seems like business as usual.
It is interesting that everybody e.g. U of k fans wanna say, oh Cal is clear and wil… Continue
Yet another Big East Title. Way to go cards.Lets talk about positive things on here for a while , not what will be next year or last year. Live in the now for a while. Continue
I know that it is only May 19th but with the end of the spring signing period being tommorow and
with mostly all of the big names gone this is what it should be.
1. Kentucky Wildcats (2009 NIT/ 22-14)
With the great recruiting class that John Calipari has brought in and the other pieces such
as Patrick Patterson,Darius Miller,and I guarantee Jodie Meeks. This team without a doubt is the
deepest and most talented hands down. 1-10 Kentucky will be able to sit the first team and play the
bench an… Continue
Here we go it dont matter how you look at it but the proof is in the pudding and the pudding is at UK we can go over all the reasons why yall really want UK to lose lose lose but we are gonna win win win and they can go ahead and hate hate hate cause we are the bees nees and ya know it UK fans lets get used to UL fans not wanting to admit that we got the best kids in the nation and they can call them thugs all they want but we all know whats up. wall, bledsoe, cousins, orton, hood, dodson, patt,… Continue
As I woke today and found out the big news that John Wall the #1 overall recruit in the class of 2009,commited to the University of Kentucky giving the Cats what has to be one of the best recruiting classes in the last 20 years in college basketball. I looked up several different websites to see what the rest of the countries reaction to the commitment was and to no suprise the haters were all over the place from UNC fans calling him a thug, when just right before the Final Four, Coach Roy Willi… Continue
As i was watching the last John Calipari press conference this past Wednesday,listening to him talk
about all sorts of topics, from the starting of a new web page that will allow Kentucky fans to interact directly with him. It got me thinking about how great it is to have a coach that actually is excited about Kentucky basketball the same way that the fan base is. After the past two years dealing with a coach that basically was all about a paycheck and the hell with everything else. Coach Cal ha… Continue
It amazes me and ALL I can say is, Ain't It Funny?! I mean, you would think that after getting Coach Cal, and all those recruits that SOME, not all, cause it wouldn't be far to sterotype, UK fans would find something else to discuss besides Pitino. Yet, instead of celebrating how improved their program will be this upcoming season, they throw arrows and insults towards Pitino.
In my opinon, somebody took Pitino leaving UK real personal. Because when we celebrated Men's basketball, Women's basket… Continue
The hiring of Coach Cal has brought excitement back to the Big Blue Nation, with the great recruiting
that has happenend over the past month and a half and the return of Patrick Patterson for his junior
season, the potential return of Jodie Meeks,and the great possibility that #1 recruit John Wall will
be coming to Lexington. Kentucky has gone from a NIT appearence this past seaon to a potential title contender for the 2009-2010 season. The Cats should be a preseason top 5 team, but the thing is… Continue
I have seen it and so have you. The throngs of UK fans who have all but bowed down and worshipped Cal. He has given them a new lease on life in basketball mixed with media coverage and some recruits. And not that it wasn't needed and I am sure that it is well apprecaited by the fans. Nothing wrong with that. However, I feel the need to get on my soapbox, cause I have got tired of the same comments in regards to my beloved Cards. One of them being that we are sinking now, I would like to know if… Continue
I don't think all UK fans are the same. But, since being on here, I 've learned that enough of them are for me to post this. Enjoy!
1. We don't care about your new coach. We know you needed somebody, anybody.(and especailly after Donovan sd HELL NAH, to the job offer)
2. We know you care about your new coach. He's you r biggest headline this year.
3. We are not worried about your recruits. We don't need that many.
4. You worrying about the wrong things. Our tattoos? Worry about how sad it will… Continue
I just joined this morning. And already the nation of Big Bloopers, Im sorry, Big Blah, or Blue, has already got me postin a blog! Calipari seems like an okay man, and I even listened to part of his press conference. Especailly the part where he let it be known that it will take time before they are what they used to be! Don't believe me? Go to wlky.com and pull it up! However, there are some things that need to be laid to rest. YOU, U OF K, are not in the elite class. Cause first off, you have… Continue
The Memphis Commercial Appeal had this paragraph in their story:
"The group left just after a pizza company delivered pizza and soft drinks to fans and media camped outside the house, waiting to hear Calipari's decision."
Nothing like hungry media. Here's the deal. I am speculating that this kind gesture had everything to do with keeping the media's fingers greasy and mouths full.
With greasy fingers - The media would have a hard time typing or or pushing buttons on their cell phones.… Continue

A new name is bubbling to the surface in the speculation of a coach to replace Billy Gillispie at The University of Kentucky.
Sean Miller of Xavier University - just a short drive up the road in Cinci.
Here is a young Sean Miller - back in the day....
Here is one of the questons from an interview with USAToday last December: After a game — win or lose — what's the first thing you look at on the stat sheet?

Probably will never happen, but the International Olympic Committee should seriously consider adding politics as one of the exhibition sports in 2012.
There are two obvious reasons - It involves a race and there are winners and losers. And there are also fans or fanatics in some cases.
Rednbluefans.com has gotten some attention from some unlikely blogs. We picked up a mention from PageOne and… Continue

We put out the request for Louisville fans to tell us where they would be watching the games Friday and (confidently) Sunday. You're everywhere. So here's to you.
Sam is way out on the West Coast on Mercer Island, Washington. It's near Seattle.
Here's what Sam had to say: "My wife has 20-bucks in a pool at work and she thinks she's a big-time gambler. I did give her the Cards to win it all and my picks on her sheet are doing well."Tommy said the alumni group up in th… Continue

I disagree with your ACC comment cats. Yes, they may be able to win the conference (acc) with an excellent team, and the powers like UM, FSU, and Va. Tech being down as they are now (see Wake Forest 2006). As can be said of any of the other footba...

You an idiot, Catfag! The Big East 2nd place finisher walked all over your prized Georga SEC champion just a few years back and you want to say the Big East sucks. You are a dumbass.
