So lets get right to the point…who is going to be the Y in the halftime spelling of Kentucky this weekend?  Sure, Ashley Judd is the favorite for any game of this magnitude. However, since we have already used her at least once this season, let me drop a nomination for you: Wynona Judd. Ashley has the petit frame and classic features that make her an A-list starlet in Hollywood. Wynona, however, has the type of build that wins World’s Strongest Men competitions. If Ashley were a player, she’d be just another guard sitting between Adam Williams and Preston LeMaster on the depth chart. 

No, what we need is all 6ft 3inches and 265 pounds of Wynona as a new anchor for the front court. If you were in a fight, would it even be a decision of who you’d want backing you? Would it be Ashley, who is notorious for fleeing danger through wooded areas at a moments notice (most often with Morgan Freeman in hot pursuit with all the strategy of a young Roscoe P. Coltrane)? Or would it be Wynona, who you could be quite certain would be the first to bust the neck off a Budweiser tall boy and pin down any takers Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling style. UK must establish an inside presence with an attitude to match if it hopes to achieve its perennial level of success this season. Making Wynona the new face of this team may be the first step in the right direction, just make sure you have plenty of Bourbon handy when the new hockey poster comes out.  

Anyways, Wynona has recently signed to host the new season of Nashville Star with Cowboy Troy, the godfather of hick hop and, as his website describes him, “the world's only six-foot-five black rapping cowboy”. You know him as the only African-American on CMT and the guy parading near the “little person” in all the Big and Rich Videos. Hey, 6ft 5, wonder if he’s got any eligibility left?
