Saturday Morning Links

-Mark Story reminds us, while Steve Brown is under fire as coach of the defense – there’s a group of men that can be pointed to for our defensive woes as well.  And none of them play for Kentucky anymore.

-Chip Cosby talks about readjusting the teams goals this year.  From this point forward they are playing for a bowl game, the SEC titles can come next year.

-Kentucky Kernel reporter Andy Burress saw the open tryouts for a walk on spot for Kentucky basketball and said, hey, why not?  You can read about what 28 minutes in hell were like for our friend from the student body.  Drew Franklin had planned this same story, but found out he has to stay 500 feet away from John Hood at all times.

-If you want to know anything about the Cam Newton situation, check out the run down by Mark Schlabach at ESPN.com.  My stance on it – similar to the Bledsoe situation – you can’t make these allegations public until you know more about what you’re talking about.  This is still a kid we’re talking about.  So it’s no surprise the story was broken by the Forde/Thamel/Forde’s hair love trio.

-In case you want to know when you can watch what today, here is your SEC schedule run down. Save for Bama/LSU and Arkansas/USC, it’s going to be a boring day down south.

* Florida (5-3, 3-3) at Vanderbilt (2-6, 1-4), 12:21 p.m. ET, SEC Network
* Idaho State (1-7) at Georgia (4-5), 12:30 p.m. ET, Pay-per-view
* Charleston Southern (2-6) at Kentucky (4-5), 12:30 p.m. ET, Pay-per-view
* Chattanooga (5-3) at Auburn (9-0), 1 p.m. ET, Pay-per-view
* Alabama (7-1, 4-1) at LSU (7-1, 4-1), 3:30 p.m. ET, CBS
* Louisiana-Lafayette (2-6) at Ole Miss (3-5), 7 p.m. ET, ESPNU
* Arkansas (6-2, 3-2) at South Carolina (6-2, 4-2), 7 p.m. ET, ESPN
* Tennessee (2-6) at Memphis (1-7), 8 p.m. ET, CBS College Sports

-My prediction for the Kentucky game?  If Locke plays: 56-10.  Without Locke: 41-13.

-Just as a side note, I want to wish Bill Lentz a happy birthday.  Without him (and his legion of faceboook fans voting for me in the blogger contest,) I wouldn’t be here right now.  I couldn’t make it home due to a number of things, so I figure a KSR shout out will have to do.  So thanks Dad, I hope you have a fun weekend, and I’m sorry I couldn’t make it home for it.  And I promise I’ll finally write a post about Bridge on here one day.

-Matt will be by later today with a Live Blog – assuming the internet in Commonwealth isn’t horrible – and I will be carrying you through the post game.  Have a good one everybody.

Go Cats.  Beat Charleston Southern.
