Kentucky Wildcats

1. Billy G Is Not My Lover. Many fans wanted Tubby Smith out for a long, long time in the Commonwealth, so with that exodus they got Billy Gillespie. The Wildcats had a 6-7 record following a loss to now-hated Rick Pitino, and everyone thought that ol' Billy Boy might not be the guy after all. Panic ensued, then Gillespie really proved to be the grinder (crouch down low, coach, show us how much you care!) and has been named the SEC coach of the year. So, just to recap: Billy Gillespie became a much better coach in 2008, which bodes well for the 'Cats. More »

All right, seriously, God: You need to let us know whether or not Alex Legion is part of your worldly college basketball plans, or not. Enough with that global famine business: Let's get down to the real work. More »

Never Trust God's Hoops Recruiting Sheet

You might remember Kentucky freshman hooper Alex Legion, whose mother famously was told by God would lead the Wildcats to the Final Four. Well, God would like a mulligan, please. More »

This Morning, Ashley Judd Weeps

The college basketball season has barely started — really, it hasn't, not at all — and we've already had three ridiculous upsets (even if two didn't count). This is a welcome break; if you'll remember the NCAA tournament last year, we barely had any. We hope this is a good sign. More »

In The '60s, The Wildcats Knew How To Party

Shannon Ragland, a Louisville-based self-published author, has written a new book claiming the a Kentucky-Xavier football game in 1962 was "fixed." Everyone's denying it, of course, but that's not even the best part. According to the book, old Kentucky players would receive blow jobs from dudes for cash. More »

One Way To Sustain College Football Interest We've purposely made the thumbnail picture as small as we can, because what follows, after the jump, from the Kentucky-Florida game this weekend, is disturbing and Not Safe For Work. There. You have been warned.

She's Like The Biff From The Future!

We know this story's from a couple of weeks ago, but we're still rather entranced about it: The mother of a recent Kentucky Wildcats basketball recruit is a real, live prophet. More »

NCAA Blogdome: Wildcat ... Wild ... Cat... Pow

As much as I'd like to discuss yesterday's crazy college game, I fear I wouldn't do it any justice. I just can't get into the college athletics like you die-hards do. I blame my Canadianess. And my mom. But hey, let's see what the Internets are saying about Kentucky's 43-37 triple-overtime win over No. 1 LSU ... More »

Dicky Lyons Is One Dope Dude

Dicky Lyons is a wide receiver for the Kentucky Wildcats, and despite his seemingly less-than-chiseled-athlete physique, he's one of their better players. And he also seems like as amiable a doofus as you could possibly meet. More »

From One Billy To Another

According to the estimable Pat Forde at The Leader, Billy Gillespie is leaving Texas A&M to become the new coach at Kentucky. Wildcats fans seem mostly pleased by the move, though they're still clearly recovering from their Billy Donovan envy. More »

As Billy Donovan Turns ...

It has been a while since a sport's biggest stage has been overwhelmed with something as tedious as a potential coaching change. The most famous example, of course, was when Bill Parcells had his one foot out the door while supposedly preparing his New England Patriots in the Super Bowl. We never felt he took as big a hit to his reputation as he probably deserved for that little stunt. More »
