— Good afternoon, friends and UK haters who have nothing better to do than leave negative comments under every post on KSR. How are you? Still excited about football? That’s great, but let’s not forget we’re in the middle of conference play in basketball season. The Cats will open its friendly Rupp Arena doors on Saturday for the Auburn Tigers, a team Kentucky defeated quite handily on the road a couple weeks ago. Big Blue Nation hopes to see another dominating home performance from the Wildcats, similar to the one we saw Tuesday night against South Carolina. Win big against the Tigers and then we see how this team really measures up, when they take on the Florida Gators next week. That game could work wonders for UK’s seed in the NCAA Tournament if the Cats are able to get a W.
— Kentucky and Ole Miss are tied for second place in the SEC with two losses apiece. In related news, I can’t wait for the SEC Tournament in Nashville.
— Ken Pomeroy recently updated his KenPom rankings and Kentucky is still sitting comfortably at No. 17. Florida, Indiana, Louisville, Michigan, and Duke make up the top five, respectively. For Kentucky to crack the top 25 in the two polls that don’t use nonsensical mathematics, the Cats will need to win at Florida or keep it at close at Florida and then win the next three games: @ Tennessee, vs. Vanderbilt, and vs. Missouri after College Gameday. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to see a ranking next to Kentucky’s name on the ESPN scoreboard during games. Being unranked is getting old.
— While we’re here, Mrs. Tyler Thompson is here:
Sigh.
— Andrew Wiggins, your thoughts on Pete Thamel’s article about you?
Don’t believe everything you hear, don’t believe everything you read!!
— andrew wiggins (@22wiggins) February 7, 2013
Thank you. I have no further questions.
— Mark Stoops has a big weekend ahead of him for Kentucky football recruiting and I’m not just talking about Tevin Lawson. There is a big group of 2014 standouts scheduled to visit Lexington, proving Stoops meant business when he said he’s going after everyone. Gone are the days of ignoring four and five-stars players because we’re Kentucky. Stoops and his staff are pursuing future stars.
— Neal Brown was on this morning’s radio show to discuss the 2013 class and which offensive weapons he’s most excited about. Have a listen at TalkRadio1080.com.

As usual, good summary Drew. One question though, if you were to take the same pic as Mrs. TT on vacation, would we see your toes or your beer belly?

“Don’t believe everything you read” should be the tagline for anything that’s written by Thamel.
February 7th, 2013 at 4:42 pm
Damn….I think I’ve lost both of them!
February 7th, 2013 at 4:59 pm
Thamel is the douchiest douche of all the douches in doucheville, just sayin……..

Mrs. TT’s picture reminds me of that instagram parity video.
Look at this Instagram (Nickelback Parody):

Seeing all the haters in the comments lately, makes me think you guys should come up with a regular/ coordinated “hate report” tracking nasty stuff said about UK basketball, Cal, UK football, etc. – generally watching around the web, and directing us there to help “rectify” the situation in comments, etc. It’s time to fight fire with fire.

I live here in Louisville, so I normally listen to the radio on way to work in morning and in afternoon around 4:30. So I klisten to the sports talk stations my options are Drew Deener or Mason &Myers in the morning. Deener is a UL homer to the hilt,Vanetti & Jennings (afternoon underdogs) are ok sometimes. What I find so funny is last year and prior to Sugar bowl they were all rah rah UL football talking about how great they were and going to be again next year with all the great players coming in and how many stars players had. Now that signing day has come and gone they are all of the sudden saying oh stars don’t matter its quality and no one knows how goo they will be just because you sign them doesn’t mean they will be grat.blah, blah blah. I agree you don’t know how good high school players will be, but up until a few weeks ago all the UL fans and media were just raving over the people they had coming in and now that UK outdid them now it isn’t important, or we UK fans are making way too big a deal. Sorry it just ticks me off!! Sorry for the rant!!
