Does The Governor's Cup Also Contain The Governor's Jewels?
Louisville and Kentucky deserve credit today for saving us from the Sunday blahs by actually scheduling their game one full week before the bulk of the NFL slate gets underway (3:30, ESPN). No, it's not basketball, but it's a fun in-state rivalry, matching up teams that have recently been competitiv...

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...
Kentucky Fans Are Having Anger Displacement Issues
In the "holy cow, fans can be scary" file, the frustrated fans at Kentucky, suffering through a 9-9 season, have taken a lot of their ire out on recent transfer (to Illinois! Woo!) Alex Legion. (He of the soothsaying mother.)...

In our ongoing coverage of the dogmatic inevitability that Alex Legion will lead Kentucky to the Final Four, a tranquil atmosphere casts over the tumultuous world of college basketball....
God Just Can't Make Up His Mind About Kentucky Basketball
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....
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....
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 ...
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....
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 ...
Kige Ramsey Is No Sell Out!
It appears our friend Kige is growing larger than we ever could have imagined: He's now doing paid advertisements....
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....
Much Anger In Aggieland
It would be safe to say that Texas A&M fans aren't handling the loss of Billy Gillespie to Kentucky very well....
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....
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 fe...
Lexington's Long National Nightmare Now Over
This just in: We'll try not to go all Politico / John Edwards on you here — for the record, we love that site, occasional big error aside — but we've received word from a TV station in Louisville and from another source that Kentucky fans desperate to rid themselves of Tubby Smith have had their wis...
