You know that there is very little going on in the World of Sports when the great Rob Gidel focuses his post on Mike Tice's propensity to scalp tickets.  But to be fair to Robert, there is really nothing to talk about.  If you are like me and care about Johnny Damon in no meaningful way, all you are left with is hope that tonight's UTEP-Toledo game from the GMAC Bowl will be of some interest.  

I am officially worried however about the Iona game on Friday.  You have to watch out for the Fighting Gaels and Jeff Ruland.....they are undefeated and looking for a signature win.  Luckily Kentucky has been without the 20 hour practice restrictions this week, but nonetheless the Wildcats better be up to the task on Friday.
