Much as the University of Kentucky basketball faithful would like to, they will likely never forget the disastrous two-year tenure of former Wildcat head coach Billy Gillispie.
Uh oh, Spaghettios, we might have a situation. The recruitment of Nerlens Noel, one of the University of Kentucky's blue chip incoming freshmen--and Scout.com's #1 prospect from the class of 2012--is being investigated further by NCAA rules enforcement officials.
If you're a UK player, and unless you commit a heinous crime during your time on Earth, you are a beloved individual in the Commonwealth of Kentucky for the rest of your days.
The beautiful part?
UK players get it, respect it, love it, and give it back.
I had the great pleasure, last Saturday afternoon, of participating in the 2nd Annual Trinity Benefit for Trinity High School in Whitesville. Yes, I had the unbelievably tough task of being a judge for the event's barbeque cook-off.
For the diehard college basketball fan, summer truly is a S-L-O-W period. I mean, you can follow recruiting news, but that's about it...UNTIL schools release non-conference fall schedules. I'm really excited about Western Kentucky's impressive slate, and now the University of Kentucky has released its list of non-con opponents. But what gives?
I've been pondering the ankle injury Anthony Davis suffered last Saturday during a New Orleans Hornets workout. And I've been wondering how the dominoes would have fallen if that had happened during a certain week in March.
I think we kinda knew that, between Kentucky and North Carolina, the NBA Draft in New York City would definitely be tinted blue. But it's Wildcat Blue that dominated the top of the draft. For the first time in history, one school has produced the top two picks in the NBA Draft. And that school is the University of Kentucky.
"Fear the Brow" and "Bow to the Brow" are now off limits on anything you might try to sell. And while you're at it, you might as well scrap the idea of growing a unibrow and profiting from it. Anthony Davis has spoken.
This has been circulating throughout Facebook. That's how I found it. But UK coach John Calipari has released the video of his speech to the team after the Wildcats won the National Championship nearly two months ago.
ESPN's Andy Katz caught up with UK's Anthony Davis soon after AD received his championship ring AND learned that the New Orleans Hornets won the lottery and will get first pick in the draft. That's right, Anthony Davis could be headed back to Bourbon Street. Check it out.
Okay, enough already! And I'm talking to and about myself just as much as anyone who has written about the dissolution of the Kentucky/Indiana basketball series. The topic has been comprehensively covered, ad nauseum. Time to move on.
Okay, so maybe NOTHING can be immortalized in cereal, but if it IS possible, a UK fan will figure out how. And, why would a UK fan work hard to make certain of such a feat? Well, if he made a portrait of, say, Anthony Davis using cereal, for example.
