Western Kentucky Hilltoppers
1. There's Only One Big Red! While a number of other schools claim to be the Big Red, there is only one mascot that fits the bill ... our Big Red. He's without a doubt the most famous alumnus of our school. He's been featured in ESPN's "This is SportsCenter" commercials, and some of those silly Capi...
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.

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....
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 ...
Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 2
Can we give announcing team props on HJP? If so, props to Andre Ware for an apt comparison between the pass down the sidelines to set up the last second field goal in the MSU-Iowa game and the Texans-Titans game. -Chilltown (ed. note: I like to give Bonnie props whenever possible)...
