Wildcats Win...Rupp is Like Hell?

Louisville guard Edgar Sosa (according to several media outlets) likened the Rupp experience to walking into hell. For me, the only thing hellish about today's game were the referees and the announcers. The anti-UK agenda was in full-court 'press' mode. In addition, when Seth Davis' panties got all wadded up at halftime, you just knew that the drama wasn't anywhere near being over.

In this year's I-64 clash, it is the Wildcats who come away victors, winning 71-62. Wall, Cousins, and Patterson are beasts. It has been a long time since UK has had warriors that simply refuse to back down to anyone (even when the referees spot their opponent a dozen or so points). For the Cardinals and their well-feathered fans, all the smack talk leading up to today's game bought them a lot of crow - happy dining!

Another Record Night for Wall, Another Blowout Win for UK

Once again John Wall has shown why so many people (UK fans especially) are taking every opportunity they are presented with to do the "John Wall dance." The Wildcats crushed Hartford 104-61. Meanwhile, John Wall broke a record previously held by Travis Ford by dishing out 16 assists in last night's throw down. Our feathered 'friends' to the west enter Rupp on Saturday.

Dragon Slayers: Kentucky Wildcats Make History

Once again the crowd at Rupp Arena was treated to a 40 minute highlight reel. The Wildcats slayed the Drexel Dragons to reach victory number 2,000. The talent-rich Cats put on quite the show in the first half before going deep into their bench after the break en route to an 88-44 blowout. A number of former Wildcat players were in the house as well as former Wildcat coach Joe B. Hall. If there was a letdown, it was that Ashley Judd wasn’t on hand. On the other hand, maybe the camera crew didn’t try hard enough to locate her.

For me, the best part was hearing Patrick Patterson speak after the game. Patrick is so well-spoken; he will be truly missed the moment he steps off the UK campus. The team chemistry this year is something that I have not noticed since Chuck Hayes was a Wildcat – it makes watching this team a real delight. It’s great to see Rupp Arena rocking once again. The Big Blue faithful had to suffer through some challenging seasons in recent years, but (so far) the only challenge this season has been trying to get to the refrigerator and back before Wall & Co. have put up another dozen points.
