It looks like John Calipari is inheriting the perfect situation at Kentucky.
First, Patrick Patterson withdraws from the NBA draft and decides to return to school. Then John Wall, the nation’s number one recruit and lighting-quick point guard, decides to sign with Kentucky.
I’m guessing that Coach Cal is chomping at the bit to get the 2009-2010 basketball season underway.
Even though Kentucky already signed Eric Bledsoe, another talented point guard, Wall is excited to compete for the starting position.
“Being able to play against Eric (Bledsoe) is a big plus,” he said, according to Rivals.com.
Duke, Miami and Florida were also at the top …read more

Patrick Patterson has ultimately decided that he’d rather return to Kentucky to compete for a NCAA Championship and finish his degree in three years rather than jump to the NBA.
John Calipari couldn’t be happier, especially since this will be his first go-round as Kentucky’s head coach — a position that is largely viewed in a fishbowl, with everyone (fans, trustees,the administration, etc.)  watching and scrutinizing the coach’s every move.
The move comes as a bit of a surprise, since Patterson was projected as a first-round pick in the June 25th draft.
“I want to help Kentucky compete for a national title, and …read more

This is outdated! Thanks for your comments, and I hope you’ll check out the updated list here: http://www.everyjoe.com/2008-new-ncaa-uniforms/
Football uniforms have always been a hot topic. It makes sense – if I’m going to shell out the cash for a fan jersey, I don’t want to look like a douche. There are quite a few teams getting new uniforms in 2008, so I thought I’d compile a list of links to show you. If your team is getting new uniforms and you don’t see them on this list, leave a comment to let me know!

Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and little children shout;
But there is no joy in Mudville–great Casey has struck out.

Ok, wrong sport…but I imagine that’s the general feeling on the LSU campus today. The Tigers, ranked #1 going into their Saturday evening match up with Kentucky (ranked #17), Were looking to go undefeated to the championship, and by the looks of their schedule, they probably would have done it too.
What made this game so exciting was that it wasn’t one of those …read more
