True Blue Kentucky

Welcome, friends, to the wonderful world of the Big Blue Internet! Are you new to the internet? Are you a fan of the University of Kentucky athletic programs? Do you have an insatiable desire to express your uninformed and ill-conceived opinion as fact? If you said yes to all of the above, then you’re reading the right blog!

Come with me, BBallSophist, as I explore and teach you the most important guidelines for participating in the most active online community in the universe (citation needed): The University of Kentucky Internet Fanbase Community...of Wildcat Fans.

Most of the day, I've been dealing with emails, phone calls and PM's from people all over (media included) asking me to make comments about remarks attributed to me that I never made.

The majority of this comes from Kentucky Sports Radio, which ironically, is not on the radio, but is a blog.  Matt Jones incorrectly reported that I had made the comment that Liggins is no longer being coached by Gillispie, which I have never said in any way.  

Additionally, there are those around the internet who are attributing the "Liggins is going to transfer" rumor to me.  

Again, I have never said that and I actually said the exact opposite today on the free hoops forum.  

If you see these types of comments being made, please do me a favor and correct those who make them.  It will save me a lot of time and trouble if people would just be accurate.

Some of the mistakes are honest ones, but the majority of them are done with a malicious intent.  A few people "put the word out" that I made a comment and then everyone goes spreading it around as if it's accurate.  

Please note that most of the people who start these kinds of inaccurate posts do so on purpose, so correcting them is important.

I want to turn it off.  I can't.  My vulgarity, rash temper tantrums, and obscene behavior are only comparable to an addict coming off a high and looking for his next fix. Is this what life has come to for me?  I look into the mirror, after a win nonetheless, and I see a fragile man.  A broken man, who hasn't seen a high since beating Lamar earlier this week, with the last intense high being against West Virginia last Saturday.

My my my, what a week in Las Vegas can do for the soul! The Kentucky Wildcats were crowned kings of Sin City last weekend, grinding out two tough victories over the Kansas State Feauxcats and the West Virginia Hugginses, once again proving that everything awesome happens in Vegas. And like my friend told me before we visited Vegas: “What happens in Vegas…gets bragged about for years”. There was some ordeal with a kid not wanting to play or something, but I forgot about that already. We won, bitches! It’s a celebration!

Wednesday night the ‘Cats took on Lamar. I was planning on making a Lamar Burton joke here, only to find out that the guy’s name is actually Levar Burton…or is it Toby? A little Roots humor there for the kids.

Anyway, UK assisted their way to a 42 point victory, fueled by 31 points from Patrick Patterson and an impressive night at lead guard from DeAndre’ Liggins, who went 6-6 from the floor with 16 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists to only 2 turnovers. Kentucky is on a 4-game winning streak since opening the season 0-2, but their toughest test comes this Saturday in Lexington when Kentucky hosts the 22^nd ranked Miami U’s.
