Coach Cal

April 2, 2009 admin Leave a comment

Well, we didn’t have to wait very long to find out who would be the next coach at UK after the decision was made to part ways with Billy Clyde after only two years.

On Tuesday evening, the University of Kentucky announced coach John Calipari as the new leader of the men’s basketball program, and most folks in the state could not be happier.

I know that I have written on here in support of coach Gillispie, and I truly do wish it had worked out with him. However, after he was let go and things started to surface about …

More ESPN Calipari/UK talk…

March 30, 2009 admin Leave a comment

Even though this is all happening very quickly, it is also very tiring at the same time. Will he come? Won't he come? Is it a "done deal", or has he backed out?

Is this the man?

NUMEROUS sources reporting UK and John Calipari have met, an offer in the range of $6M/year has been made (may include incentives), and it may all be over soon, one way or another.

You can follow the information as I post it by following my Tweets on this web site, or you can follow me on Twitter for faster updates. I’ll try to keep it as up-to-date as I can.…

UK right to quickly correct this mistake – John Clay – Kentucky.com

When you make a mistake, you correct it.

You correct it, and you move on.

As quickly as you can.

Hiring Billy Gillispie was a mistake. Someone didn’t do their homework. Someone had the wrong idea about who they were getting. But what’s done is done. Troubled waters under a very big and costly bridge.

OK...some of this I agree with, but Digger's comments...a couple of days ago I would have probably been right there with him...but with the things leaking out that are now leaking out...I don't know.

We hardly knew ya….

I just “tweeted” it, but I wanted to post it here, too…ESPN and multiple other sources are now reporting that Gillispie is out as the UK Men’s Basketball coach. A press conference is scheduled for 4:30pm.

Donovan, Ford, Barnes, Izzo…who knows. It all gets crazy now, but I suspect Barnhart and Todd had some strong indications from someone out there that they’d take this job, which allowed them to pull the trigger on this move more confidently.

We shall all see, I suppose. I, for one, will miss Billy G.…

Billy G and the Sweet 16

March 21, 2009 admin Leave a comment

Well, I know I’m about as random as Kentucky weather when it comes to posting things on here, but I’m working on a few solutions to that, so we’ll see how that all turns out. Meanwhile, a little more Billy G talk. 🙂

So this past Thursday, me and a couple of friends headed down to Rupp to watch a day of the State tournament, starting in the morning with Lex Cath and winding up with the Lions of Elliott County. It was all great, but that’s not why I’m writing this.

About the 2nd quarter of the Homes/Christian County …

What kinds of stuff? I don’t know. I just want to throw it open to allow people to chime in on a range of topics…whatever is on your mind right now!

UK Basketball? Winter Weather? A new TV show you like? Things you’d like to see added to the site?

Maybe a favorite childhood memory about Morgan County?

It is up to you folks…what is on your mind right now?…

A Little Kenny Powers for you…

Now, I have to warn everyone…before watching this clip…it is DEFINITELY NSFW (not safe for work)…and is absolutely appropriate for our “After Dark” section.

This is a compilation of clips from Episode 2 of “Eastbound & Down”, a new comedy series airing Sunday nights on HBO.

It is the story of Kenny Powers, an ex-Major League pitcher who finds himself down on his luck and has to move back to his home town. He lives with his brother, and he has somehow landed a job teaching Gym at the local school where his high school sweetheart teaches.

It is just …
