It’s a lovely day around the Big Blue Nation.  Even though some of our hearts were broken Tuesday night, our love for the Cats can heal all wounds this Valentine’s Day.  Let all your loving out today.  Save all your hate for Tennessee this Saturday.

One Step Closer to Sports Gambling

On this Valentine’s Day, I would love to place a legal wager at a Kentucky sports book.  You can’t do it this year, but it could be on its way.  Yesterday the Kentucky state legislature discussed a bill that would allow you to place legal wagers at horse tracks and the Kentucky Speedway.  The only stipulation: if this bill passes, you will not be able to bet on games involving Kentucky universities.  You’ll find more details on HB175 here.

Football Recruits are on Campus

It’s a quiet football recruiting period for coaches.  They can’t travel to see prospects, but they can host them on campus.  Rising junior wide receiver Walker Merrill from Brentwood, Tennessee, checked out the UK football facility yesterday.

This weekend there will a ton of talent on campus for the big game against Tennessee. Tomorrow we’ll let you know who’s expected to make the trip.  Here’s who the coaching staff is targeting within state boundaries in the 2020 recruiting class.
