woodson1 Big Happy 31st Birthday to Andre Woodson, the former UK quarterback who beat No. 9 Louisville and No. 1 LSU in the same season and won back-to-back bowl games for the Cats. Andre did a lot while he was a Wildcat, but what he may be most famous for is completely transforming himself into one of the best quarterbacks in the SEC. His 2007 campaign is one of the finest we've ever seen. His teams beat the aforementioned top 10 squads, as well as Florida State in the team's second straight Music City Bowl victory. Watch a GREAT CSTV story on Woodson talking about his transformation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ouTZ1Polog Here's Woodson finding Stevie when he got loose (with the Tom Leach call): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jm_VPjJV_sk   And here's a bit longer video of highlights from LSU. It's hard to not watch all of these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ5_XF-CoE4   OTHER NOTES: - Julius Randle reportedly showed up tonight in Lexington for the KBA EYBL. How cool is that? Other folks reportedly there included new EKU assistant Michael Bradley, Scott Padgett, Marcus Lee, Alex Poythress, Devin Booker, Willie Cauley Stein, Kenny Payne, Tony Barbee, Richard Pitino, Billy Donovan, and Tom Izzo. - At the EYBL, the C-J's Kyle Tucker called the first half of the Mailk Monk (2/9 FG) and Jayson Tatum (1/6) showdown "ragged," while others say the defense was good, forcing tough shots from the stars. Both players had nine points at the half. - IU's Yogi Farell will decide tomorrow whether he's staying in school or going to the NBA, the Indy Star says. Should he stay, IU could be very good. Should he go? The second round of the draft awaits, and with it no guaranteed roster spot or money. More later! Go Big Blue!
