Interesting fact of the day: Kentucky has actually been
OUTSCORED in SEC play, despite their 9-3 record. Further proof of how well they have played in close games and how weird the loss to Vandy was. On to the links:
1. The women's team
won AGAIN yesterday, taking down former UL coach Tom Collen and the Arkansas Razorbacks. The Cats now sit in
4th in the conference, which interestingly does not split the teams into 2 divisions.
2. Short articles on both
Scotty Hopson and UK's junior-college prospects in the Courier-Journal yesterday.
3. Eric Crawford tries his best to give
this year's team a nickname. But, its my thought you have to do something special to get a nickname. One exexption: Team Turmoil. Although I don't think Tayshaun Prince and the boys were happy about that one.
4. John Clay highlights
Joe Crawford and Ramel Bradley, ironically focusing on the two plays that Matt talked about in his game notes yesterday. What was the last UK team that had seniors this clutch? Tayshaun's last year? The Bogans and Fitch years? Maybe Chuck Hayes last year?
5. Over the last couple months, I have put several lists of hot wives and girlfriends, but lets take a look at the other side of marriage, with the
wives that have embarassed their husbands the most.
6. The Angry T is producing its own Oscar ceremony, showing the nominees and winners of the
worst sports movies/performances ever.
