The Goat Pen

I can deal with magic underwear, the belief that everybody becomes a god and gets their own planet, that Joseph got visions by putting a magic rock in a stovepipe hat and staring into it, magic reading glasses, golden plates, talking salamanders, that there is a new Bible, etc.

But that "no caffeine, alcohol or tobacco" rule is just downright weird.

Heh. You obviously still have lots of Episcopalian in you Prof.

If Wildcat Bob were around I'd add my condolences. That backup QB gave them no chance today with his accuracy problems.

Losing 40-0 to Vandy ought to have Joker fired by 9 AM tomorrow

Few hours late but expected

I hope Auburn has the same scruples if they are dumb enough to fire Chiz.

Kentucky has hired Florida State defensive coordinator Mark Stoops as its new head football coach.

crickets chirping...

I can't believe they'd "stoop" that low. Get it? "Stoop"?? BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! Ahem...

He's done a good job with FSU but I think it's more because the rest of the staff has obtained NFL talent for him, not because he's particularly innovative. I don't foresee him pulling off many recruiting coups and stocking the cupboard with talent but maybe he can win 7 or 8 games in the next 4 years and jump to a 'real' job.

The NonConference

UT-Martin (7-5)
Ohio (7-6)
LA-Monroe (6-6)
@ Louisville (12-1)

The Louisville game has now been moved to the end of the year. Not sure how much that will help Kentucky. Kentucky has not played a major conf opponent other than Louisville since they dropped the Indiana series after 2005. And they are rumored to be trying to end the Louisville series as well.

Grade: C-

Louisville is in the ACC now which will cast them back into suckitude. ACC vs SEC? Victory for UK.

Stoops has upgraded the product in Lexington. Problem is that everyone else in the SEC (with the exception of Vandy) looks to have a pretty good team this year. Wins will still be hard to come by.

Gators didn't look that good.

It's not about the final score. It's about Bluecat spending quality time with his father.

Which is which?

Classic photo.

If Kentucky had actual students playing they would be impressive. What is the five year graduation rate for a
Kentucky basketball players?
