Today is the birthday of a man we all know and love. Willie Nelson is one of the truly unique American characters of the last 50 years. Here is a guy who is something to everyone. Hardcore country people love his music, his lifestyle and his Texas roots. Crazy lefties love the fact that he is the most notable supporter of that oddball Dennis Kucinich. Religious folks love Willie’s affinity for God and his wonderful renditions of the best Christian hymns. Hippies like Willie’s affinity for the wacky tobaccy and his “me against the world.” Farmers in the Midwest love the guy for his work with Farm-Aid and his almost single-minded crusade for the poor Midwest/Southerner. Truly everyone loves Willie. My grandmother loves him….my country friends love him…..the Berkeley types I went to law school with love him…..and I think he is the best. Whether it is his almost haunting a capella renditions of “Always On My Mind” or his rockabilly take on “Whiskey River”, Willie is simply the best. Caring in his heart for all people and a unique soul that sees the good in everyone…..America needs more Willie Nelsons.
To the news….
(1) Well the weekend saw one of the quieter news times of the past few months and a sense of the “calm before the storm” for Billy Clyde as he tries to finish off the 07 class. Jai Lucas is the main event at this time as he goes through the process of having all five schools in for one last visit before he makes his decision. Billy Clyde moved back his visit from Saturday afternoon to Sunday (thus going after Gary Williams) and spent Sunday evening at the Casa de Lucas. But Billy Donovan continued his snake-like aggression, postponing his visit to Monday night so he could get the last word before the start of the dead period. Lucas has hinted that a decision may come this week and reports are all over the map as to what he might do. Some random internet reports continue with the now-tired “done deal” terminology, swearing that Lucas is committed to Kentucky and is set to announce next week. I find most of these reports to be bunk, not necessarily because of the result, but because of how they are presented. I have a very strong idea of what Jai will do, but I dont think EVEN Jai knows for sure 100%…..based on relationships made during the process, when the story breaks I expect it to come from either this site, Dave Telep or Jerry Meyer….only then will I believe it is done. Until then, the Big Blue Nation collectively waits….
(2) More news came out this weekend from an Indiana web site about big man Beas Hamga. As Marc Maggard first reported here last week, Beaz is a real possibility for 2007 and he acknowledged as much to the Indiana site, saying that he was looking at 2007 and that Kentucky was at the forefront for his services. Hamga is a beast, a tall, athletic player who has freakish ability and room to develop. People ask me what I think of a Hamga-Legion duo instead of a Patterson-Lucas combo. While I have some affinity for Pat and Jai and think they may end up being a better college duo, it can be argued that Hamga and Legion fit better with Kentucky’s needs. We shall see, but Hamga is a real possibility.
(3) Rumors continue to circulate that Michael Sanchez will be taking some type of visit to Kentucky this weekend. Sanchez, who was compared to Christian Laettner this weekend by one of his coaches, is another player that Billy Clyde is seeking to move to 07, and convince him not to go to prep school next year. I am hearing that whatever decision Sanchez makes, he wants to make in the next two weeks, so like with Lucas, whatever happens should happen quickly.
(4) In case you missed the news last week, Phillip Jurick, a Tennessee big man who was seriously considering the Cats when Tubby was here, committed to Tennessee for the 2008 class. Billy Clyde never really got involved in this one and thus UK ceased being a player. But now UT and UK are set to do head to head battle for Chris Singleton, the big man that Marc Maggard profiled yesterday. UT has long been thought to be the leader, but UK has made a swift move and some believe the two of them have moved ahead of Indiana into the driver’s seat. A good Bruce Pearl - Billy Clyde recruiting battle…..that is what the rivalry needs
(5) The next two weeks will tell the tale of next year’s season for the Cats. Kentucky currently has two open scholarships and four offers on the table that we know of…..Lucas, Patterson, Hamga and Sanchez…Billy Clyde hopes two of those are on the roster for sure, and maybe three…..with some scholarship mojo to make room. Lucas will likely decide first and then Billy Clyde will have to decide how he wants to play the roulette…..lose Lucas and you likely arent getting Patterson, so you take Hamga and try to get Sanchez. Get Lucas and Patterson is a real option, and thus how you finesse the next two weeks will be interesting……we will let you know as it happens.
This week should be huge. We begin streaming on Tuesday, thus setting off the beginning of what we hope will be the creation of the biggest UK sports radio show anywhere. The streaming is the first step in creating a network and allowing folks anywhere to hear the show. Woo and Randolph Morris will be there for the first show on 1570 AM. Later in the week we have very special guests set up, so this should be a big, big week.
Look for an AAU report from Marc Maggard tomorrow around lunch……..should be fun!

should make for an exciting week in the Bluegrass
April 30th, 2007 at 1:03 am
First time poster but a long time reader. I believe that lucas at this point
is they key to bringing in a really kick*** class. If we land him then all
the pieces will fall into place starting with patterson and hopefully followed
by either sanchez or hamga.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:05 am
thanks matt you are the best
April 30th, 2007 at 1:05 am
So does your strong idea see Lucas in blue next year???
April 30th, 2007 at 1:06 am
I have enjoyed reading this site since the Billy D drama began a few weeks ago. I too am tired of hearing the “done deal” terminology used. So many times the ppl using it are talking out their butts and misinformed. If we were to get patterson and Lucas would we have a chance at Sanchez and Hamgas next year?
April 30th, 2007 at 1:09 am
With all the talent that we are looking at for 08 i doubt that BCG is going
to continue to go after hamga and sanchez if they do stay in the 08 class.
This is why he wants them to join the 07 class so bad.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:13 am
12) Agree about sanchez, we might cool off on him if he stays in 08, but Hamga is a guy we want, as do most schools in the country. as an 08 center, he is the highest rated center not to have signed, and is rated higher than Kenny Frease, who everyone was buzzing about back when OTS was running the show. He is ranked the fourth best center in the 08 class.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:16 am
I hope we land Hamga… he looks and sounds like someone who you build a championship around
April 30th, 2007 at 1:18 am
13) Good point bout Hamga i was under the impression that he was more a PF.
However im glad that we may miss on most of these guys in the 07 class. If
we do get to save some schollies i believe that BCG will have us LOADED with
talent in 08.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:19 am
A big, big, week could be a Hamga, Sanchez week.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:52 am
“Whiskey River” and “Always On My Mind” are two of my favorite songs from the 70’s maybe only passed by “Up Against the Wall Redneck Mother”. Looking forward to the “live” show next week.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:52 am
This is being dragged out wayyyyyyyyy too long….jai and pat have to know by now…it seems to me as if they are making it out to be a joke now, just for media sake…..i dunno, but i would love to have them but i think their minds have to be made up by now…i know its a big decision in their lives but c’mon….if they knew what i was like to wear Kentucky across their chest, and knew the passion of the fans, and just how big UK basketball is, it shouldnt take them but a week to pick us…that is if they really and truly wanted to come here…the other schools do not compare….its frustrating because of how easy of a choice it is to make, when Kentucky is giving u a chance to play for the most storied program ever….This is UK basketball and there is NOTHING bigger….
April 30th, 2007 at 1:53 am
“what it was like”….sorry for the typo
April 30th, 2007 at 2:06 am
I expect the dominoes to start falling this week.
April 30th, 2007 at 2:13 am
Nice words about Willie Nelson. I agree. Nearly everyone in America, regardless of politics or opinion can find something to like about the guy. There’s very few people in this country who can make that claim these days.
As far as recruiting, I am just glad we are moving into the final two weeks of this 07 class run. Regardless of which exact combination of players we get, I will just be glad to see it over. This recruiting year has just flat worn me out. But at least the end is finally in sight and we can move on to focus on UK football, the upcoming basketball season and the 2008 class.
April 30th, 2007 at 2:15 am
A few other birthdays of note…Isiah Thomas, Kirsten Dunst, and yours truly.
April 30th, 2007 at 2:16 am
UK Basketball is never “out” of season.
April 30th, 2007 at 2:21 am
thanks for the update
smoochy smoocky
April 30th, 2007 at 2:24 am
Please wake me when an actual recruit makes an actual decision. This “done deal” crap is getting very old. I appreciate Matt’s wait and see approach rather than stirring up a really slow weekend with shaky reports just to stir everyone up.
April 30th, 2007 at 2:32 am
25) agree
April 30th, 2007 at 2:43 am
Its FINALLY coming to a close– we should have some answers coming very soon!!!!! Hooorahhhh! Just a little more patience– which I never have anyway. Shouldn’t we get rewarded for having so much patience???? I agree that if Lucas were to sign with UK, then we’d likely end up with PP too. It would be fantastic to land Beas Hamga in the midst of this too. I totally see a final four run in the near future if we were to lnad all this added talent. I’d say a National championship, but I don’t want to jinx us….
GO CATS!
April 30th, 2007 at 4:38 am
Hey, we all love our Willie! “That’s
what makes the jukebox play….”
April 30th, 2007 at 5:00 am
i cant wait for jai to say “well i feel like ill eliminate 3 schools and we will have the final cut for teams and another round of interviews… i promise, last time..” then he cuts it to two… then he adds a third team back on… then decides in august..
April 30th, 2007 at 5:14 am
MATT…What time is the show aired? And is it the same time everyday? …Also just read an interesting article on Marc’s site on his take on Jai and PP…Thanks and keep up the great work
April 30th, 2007 at 5:39 am
Re: Lucas and Patterson taking forever: Billy D strung UK along in much the same fashion. If he were pulling the strings for those two, this is the way he would do it.

April 30th, 2007 at 6:17 am
The site that reported Patterson verballed to UK is chock full ‘o lime green wannabe snot nosed idiots. I hope they enjoyed their 15 minutes. I’ve seen $5.00 Rolex watches in Tijuana with more credibility. Their “expert” is hilarous. He’d say something like “Jai Lucas is going to Maryland according to my source 100%” then somebody would point out that Maryland just used their last scholarship then he’d move on to his next trial balloon. The guy had Hamgas as a lock for Memphis. LOL.
April 30th, 2007 at 6:40 am
With our current roster, Lucas is the real key to the future. We need a true PG to ignite all we do. He will be a leader. I believe he signs with UK before the week is done.
We don’t need Sanchez. Hope PP signs with us as well. Hamga would be HUGE!
Let’s all be patient … and don’t complain about players waiting to make a decision. They are within the rules so we need to chill! They are under no obligation to make a quicker decision than they want just because we can’t wait for Christmas morning……… BCG will see to it that this isn’t a problem in the future.
April 30th, 2007 at 6:55 am
I really think Singleton goes to UT simply because Pearl has been recruiting him longer. UK will give him something to think about, but I look for him to wear the orange and white in a few years!!
April 30th, 2007 at 7:00 am
5) Besides having blue blood, I’m from western KY and I’m also a huge St. Louis Cardinals. The loss of Josh Hancock is very, very sad. You just don’t expect something like that to happen.
April 30th, 2007 at 7:08 am
I hope I don’t crash your site on Tuesday! I’ve waited sooooo long!
April 30th, 2007 at 7:40 am
Your self loathing never fails to amaze.
April 30th, 2007 at 7:54 am
If I were these kids I would have waited too. Half of the guys that recruited PP left for another job. You can’t blame the kids for looking out for #1. That is what the coaches did.
April 30th, 2007 at 8:01 am
I have a source
Of course of course
That say PP and JL a done Deal
If only that source was for real
The bells would begin to peal
Ceebration could commence with great zeal
April 30th, 2007 at 8:11 am
dont bet the rocky top on it #35
April 30th, 2007 at 8:13 am
You forgot that environmentalists love Willie (Nelson, that is) because of his “Bio-Willie” bio-diesel company in the Southwest!
April 30th, 2007 at 8:14 am
#36..I hate the Cardinals with a passion (Reds fan), but when I heard the news yesterday about Hancock,
I was shocked..you obviously hate to hear anything like that and for that organization to have lost 2 players in the past 5 years, you have to feel for them..it will be very difficult for them to play tonight against the Brewers, so just for tonight, I am a Cardinals fan.
April 30th, 2007 at 8:15 am
In other words, the short version would read: “Nothing new.”
A lot of words, but nothing new.
;o)
April 30th, 2007 at 8:16 am
Why are you so interested in the lives of underage young men?
April 30th, 2007 at 8:23 am
Matt; thank you for the updates. I would really like to see us get all four. - I wish we had the scholarships!
I have been a fan of Willie Nelson since the early 80s and I often listen to his music. I had the wonderful luck to sit next to him on a plane ride from Houston to Raleigh in 1997. He truly is a very nice person who easy to talk with, and was humble and gracious to everyone who wanted his autograph and their picture taken with him. He autographed the book I was reading, “Golf is not a game of perfect.” It sits on my top book shelf next to other autographed books, such as “The Big Blue Machine”, autographed by Coach Adolf Rupp, Cawood Ledford, Joe B. Hall, Russel Rice (author) and others; and, “Life as I have known it is finger-lickin good”, autographed by Col. Harland Sanders. Thanks bor reminding me of the really nice plane ride. Willie is a ture American!
April 30th, 2007 at 8:25 am
Sorry about the typos. I wanted to see your updates before I left for my first meeting this morning. Have a great day.
April 30th, 2007 at 8:25 am
Billy G is at Cherokee High School recruiting Chris Singleton?
April 30th, 2007 at 8:30 am
That would be Georgia, sorry. Also it was told by the softball coach Mike Gianfalla.
April 30th, 2007 at 8:50 am
I like Billy Clyde! So do others!
April 30th, 2007 at 8:53 am
If the show is going streaming and you want it to be the widest reaching UK sports show around then you are going to have to quit cowtailing to all the Card fans that call in on thelocal broadcast. UL already has the Afternoon Homers, The Card Sports reveiw, Card Chronicles, etc.. Let Lochlan handle the middle of the road and the Sports Mob needs to be UK all the way. You know the Card fans will still listen just like all the Libs listen to Rush. But if I were in Paducah and pulled up the streaming and had to listen to some Cards banter I would shut it down. So how do you see the show material going forward considering the new streaming feature?
April 30th, 2007 at 8:54 am
But not a smart a$$!
April 30th, 2007 at 8:56 am
I wonder why he didn’t answer his phone last night.
April 30th, 2007 at 8:56 am
50- This isnt a professional site, Matt’s said that before.
No way New Mexico lands Hamga, who are they kidding? If he doesn’t reclassify for us or IU for 07, there are several elite programs (including UK) looking at him for 08. New Mexico is a basketball wannabe, they have less than no shot.
April 30th, 2007 at 8:58 am
54 is right Matt. No Cards talk, ever, unless it’s ridicule. Louisville has plenty of homer radio shows already.
April 30th, 2007 at 9:05 am

geez nasty monday eh fellas? Enjoy life a little..
April 30th, 2007 at 9:24 am
Matt, Beas Hamga is spelled with an s, although it sounds like a z when you pronounce it.

April 30th, 2007 at 9:41 am
I am o over this whole Lucas/Patterson deal. When they do say where they are going, they had better play up to all the hype
that they have created for themselves.
April 30th, 2007 at 9:46 am
Patterson and Lucas will announce to Florida this week.
April 30th, 2007 at 9:46 am
I ain’t talking until Patrick says I can!
April 30th, 2007 at 9:59 am
It must really urk Louisville fans that a Louisville based radio program concentrates on UK sports.
April 30th, 2007 at 10:10 am
Hamga would appear to me to be the one guy who would impact UK the most next year. After that PP and after that Jai. The unknown is Jared Carter .. If he could contribute that list might change a bit .. And Jai Lucas could make Carter better. It’s quite a crapshoot but I still believe BC’s interest in JL is highly PP related.
April 30th, 2007 at 10:12 am
So with streaming will it be available afterwards by chance? Would love to listen to the next day while at work. (We are never satisfied are we?)
April 30th, 2007 at 10:17 am
Matt when can we expect to here the lucas decision
April 30th, 2007 at 10:17 am
Jared Carter will never be a contributor. His best move would be to return to Georgetown College and play for Happy Osbourne. He’s not D1 material.
April 30th, 2007 at 10:21 am
C’mon, Carter has never had a chance. Let him play in 15-20 games and then see how he does.
April 30th, 2007 at 10:25 am
I’m 6′3″ and I believe I could push Carter around. Being 7′0″ doesn’t make you D1 material.
April 30th, 2007 at 10:25 am
Carter is an unknown..I am not too high on him, but he seems to have good hands but lacks footwork..Hopefully he will be able to contribute, but to me he will be a guy who averages 8ppg, 6rpg, 2bpg at best..not major #’s but at least he can contribute defensively and help on the boards some.
April 30th, 2007 at 10:32 am
Article on Rivals today about Hamga…he mentions 5 schools and says that UK is currently his favorite and that he has qualifying SAT scores and is going to try to graduate early. Sounds more than promising.
April 30th, 2007 at 10:35 am
Mr. Beas Hamga…come on down and wear the blue…along with Mr. Legion…(and if Pat and Jai come..Partytime)

If we get any three of these four players next year, and Darius Miller the next year, you can bet oon a NC run for sure.
April 30th, 2007 at 10:45 am
Won’t it be awesome to watch someone play for UK that can probably block shoHamgas)ts better than Andre Riddick.(
April 30th, 2007 at 10:46 am
shots better than Andre Riddick.(Hamgas)

well maybe, but at least he hasn’t shot anyone in the face recently like that old ghoul cheney, who he is trying to impeach by the way.
but this is not a political blog, right.
willie also has his own brand of “biodiesel”– a plant based diesel fuel that burns much cleaner than petro-diesel.
and go cats.
April 30th, 2007 at 11:10 am

April 30th, 2007 at 11:14 am
^ Hamga is fully qualified for 2007 and Kentucky leads according to the article.

living with a STD is a horrible way to go through life.
April 30th, 2007 at 11:57 am
I agree with you Matt, that Willie trancends labels and styles a nd appeals to a cross section of people,which is why he best represents the great things about America. Johnny Cash is another artist with simiilar appeal. I would put myself in that group, in the notion that i have a wide variety of friends and try to bridge the gap
April 30th, 2007 at 12:03 pm
Is it me or has supposedly everyone in the class of 2008 been offered?
April 30th, 2007 at 12:08 pm
its better to offer 08 recruits rather than waiting until the deadline and scrambling to put together a class like CBC ad to do this year due to the nonexistant effort put into recruiting by Tubby
April 30th, 2007 at 12:09 pm
Oh and don’t forget the man who is singing with Willie, he perhaps captures the spirit, in which you are talking about, better than most, including maybe even Willie. If are talking strictly music, but Willie crosses a broader appeal. Oh and if Kuncinich is an odd ball, then what does that make Dubya.. maybe a little eccentric, but bush is a criminal and should be tried for war crimes.

Pettigrew signing with WKU today at 2 per CJ.

Deadspin has a powerful tribute this morning.
I was at a Cards-Reds game this week last year and got his autograph.
I feel like I lost a family member.

You are aware that only 26-32% of all Americans still support the nimrod in the White house, don’t you?
I’d say an opposition that is composed of over 2/3rds of all Americans would automatically assume that the general public’s distaste for Bush and his policies has bridged many gaps. Hating Bush and his policies has become a bipartisan issue.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:29 pm
116…It seems they are going to play tonight in Milwaukee, but I don’t see how they can even begin to pull it off. I will watch on Fox Midwest, to see how they do. We were not playing well to start with, now this……
April 30th, 2007 at 12:30 pm
I support the Cats. I oppose George Bush and his follish policies in almost every area.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:31 pm
Foolish, typo. Sorry
April 30th, 2007 at 12:35 pm
I will take George Bush over any alternative choice the Dempoidiots will put up against him anyday!!!! Why are we discussing politics here!?!
April 30th, 2007 at 12:35 pm
Matt,
Will there be a delay with the streaming? I listen to one show on the net, and it has about a 10 min delay. It sort of messes with the experience….
April 30th, 2007 at 12:36 pm
We got Legion, if Hamga comes in for 07, then I’d prefer Sanchez to round out the class because of his offense, even over Patterson. Beas and Stevenson are enough D up front til next class. I’d prefer some scoring downlow if this reclassify and sign comes to fruition.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:36 pm
I am voting Democratic Party. They love me.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:37 pm
I m voting Democrat too! I will return to take you money!!! HAHAHAHAHA
April 30th, 2007 at 12:38 pm
At least the rumormongering over Patterson and Lucas has been entertaining. I hope they are still able to make the best decisions for themselves and don’t have their judgements clouded by overzealous fans and opportunistic and questionably dishonest coaches.

Taxes or no more war on terror. Make your choice.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:40 pm
If any recruit is listening to the fans they will become Kentucky Wildcats. WHere else can you play in front of a crowd like we offer. Except Syracuse and Louisville. And playing for either of those two teams just doesnt make since if the Cats are calling.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:40 pm
121.
Have you been asleep for the last 7 years?
April 30th, 2007 at 12:41 pm
I will take the war on terror anyday over sitting back and waiting for those idiots to strike again! Next time it could be a lot worse.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:42 pm
129, 121 has been asleep or lobotomized.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:42 pm
I am awake. And I have been awake. Though I admit mistakes have been made. Sitting around with your thumb in your ass is a bigger mistake.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:43 pm
Lets talk to them and disarm them diplomatically like Clinton did with North Korea!
April 30th, 2007 at 12:45 pm
Or better yet! Lets sit around while Iran gets a nuke and blows Isreal off the planet. That way you can have a true marter on your hands.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:45 pm
History will record this as a failed administration. The errors in judgement are just to large to even comprehend at this point…Not just in Iraq, but in many areas. this doesn’t even go into the corruption, lying etc…
Anyway, enough of that. Back to sports stuff….
April 30th, 2007 at 12:49 pm
I disagree… but that is what is beautiful about this country. I am allowed to disagree.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:51 pm

Willie Nelson is a lovable guy with a fair share of wacko beliefs and ideas (yes, I’ve read his biography). His best albums are “Phases and Stages” and “Red Headed Stranger” from back in the 70’s. Lots of good stuff from the 60’s, when he was known mostly for his songwriting rather than his singing and performing. He’ll sing with anybody who asks him to, regardless of how badly their voices clash. It doesn’t seem to embarrass him a bit. His style is to sing a half-note off, which drives you nuts if you are trying to sing along with his songs.
You can tell by this post that there’s not much basketball news to talk about.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:55 pm
Most people get democrats and liberals confused. Not the same thing– most people need to take a history course. Voate Barak in 2008– its time for a change! As the CATS have seen–change is good!
April 30th, 2007 at 12:59 pm
I wonder what Marc Maggard is doing right about now? I’m ready for
a new thread about stud recruits Billy G. is looking to bring in.
I would like to see someone sign though for 07 instead of just talking aobut it.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:01 pm
If I wanted to read political opinions I would go to CNN or Fox News.
This is a Sports Blog. Stick to Sports.
Does anyone know if Legion has any pull with Lucas? I know they played on
the same All-Star team but don’t know if they are friends.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:01 pm
141) I agree vote for barak.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:07 pm
80) Legion does have some nice hops, but none are in that video. That’s Nolan Smith. All legion does in that video is shot mid and long range shots. And legion is a 6′4 shooting guard. Not favorable comparison to 6′ even point guard. Very different games.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:08 pm
For all you “pull our troops now” people, if that happened Iraq would fall into
chaos and turmoil. Think about it, a country is just left with no defenses
and therefor every terrorrist group in the world will jump at the opportunity
to take control of Iraq. Pulling out now with the job half done is a bullshit
way to show the world that we do care about more then just ourselves.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:09 pm
These guys need to make a decision. Too many on this and other sites should be studying for finals, not checking these sites every 2 minutes.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:10 pm
Legion is a stud and if he stays for more than two yrs will be an all american.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:11 pm
@ 34 David - Well said.
Physically, Beas Hamga is a man but is he mentally and emotionally capable of skipping his senior year? Does anyone know how old is?
April 30th, 2007 at 1:14 pm
149) I believe that Hamga is the same age as all the other recruits for 07 (17-18).
The question about his age should not come into play because the only reason he
may not be able to reclassify is because he is from outside the country and credits may
not transfer.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:14 pm
147- I hear that
April 30th, 2007 at 1:15 pm
Although he is saying that he already is in the process of changing classes
April 30th, 2007 at 1:17 pm
wow, Donavon the snake sneaking in for that last word with Lucas tonight…i sure hope Clyde
got the deal sealed last night at the Lucas dinner table…
April 30th, 2007 at 1:21 pm
153) CBG snaked around Gary williams, and Donovan snaked around CBG. Tit for Tat. Hope he got the deal done too, by the way.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:28 pm
Jared, what’s the matter - can’t pick just one board? Get a life, bro. I never used the words “done deal” …
April 30th, 2007 at 1:43 pm
I agree this is a UK sports blog, but this made me laugh: #146 For all you “pull our troops now” people, if that happened Iraq would fall into chaos and turmoil.
Now that’s stupidity!
April 30th, 2007 at 1:46 pm
141 & 144) Voting Barak would be a huge mistake. He couldn’t even visit a Muslim country without them legally (in thier country) having the right to kill him since he converted. I hope the Dems nominate Hillary and the party gets set back 12 years. McCain will be the next president.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:47 pm
They are too short to play ball in Iraq….lets talk another place….(no recruits there anyway
April 30th, 2007 at 1:51 pm
Who gives as rats ass if Iraq falls into Turmoil. We tried to help those bastards out and they want no part of it.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:53 pm
154) we all know who the front runners our here lets not kid ourselves, gary williams
was irrelevant…Donavan getting the last word was snakey, but brilliant…
April 30th, 2007 at 1:56 pm
If Iraq falls to turmoil then Israel is history. Plus, our gas prices go to $8 per gallon and then the US goes into a depression. Vote democrat and you most likely will see a huge down turn to the economy that only raising taxes again and again will slow.
April 30th, 2007 at 2:02 pm
160) LOL. It’s only snakey when it happens to you. I’m Maryland Fans are thrilled have had UK go around them, because UK isn’t Florida, and Florida is the devil.
also, use “are” not “our”
April 30th, 2007 at 2:02 pm
* I’m SURE maryland fans…
April 30th, 2007 at 2:05 pm
Hey Rabid Cat, turn off the EIB, ok? Seriously, dude, you are being brainwashed….
April 30th, 2007 at 2:07 pm
Pete) yes, I exagerated in my last post. But partisan politics is the cause of this. Kind of like Al Gore saying the planet is in big trouble because of humans.
April 30th, 2007 at 2:15 pm
U.S. in Iraq for another 10 years…It’s a Done Deal.
April 30th, 2007 at 2:15 pm
Al Gore is an idiot…It’s A Done Deal
April 30th, 2007 at 2:28 pm
Maybe donovan going last is good for UK. Everything he says and does will be compared (mentally) by the Lucas family.
I would like to hear a couple of questions answered…
Billy, you didn’t pay much attention to Jai until you figured out that he and Patrick may be a package deal…Would you please explin why?
Is T Green coming back? Or is he staying in the draft? If he comes back will you let Jai out of his LOI?
Did you really play Eddie Munster? Will you move our entire family to Gainsville and let us live on the Donovan compound?
April 30th, 2007 at 2:29 pm
Does everyone still think that Lucas and Patterson are a package deal?
April 30th, 2007 at 2:33 pm
Yes 169
April 30th, 2007 at 2:37 pm
169) I’m not sure that JL & PP are a package these days– however, since JL is making his college choice first, I think that his decision could sway PP’s a little. While we know that they would like to play ball together, they might like to get out of each other’s shadows a little. Plus, Jai is not waiting for PP to announce his decision (as far as we know). So, maybe Jai is less interested in what PP’s doing. I think Jai is ready to make his decision.
As for all you political commentators–SHUT UP! THIS IS A SPORTS BLOG–TAKE YOUR POLITICAL BANTER ELSEWHERE! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its getting on my last f-ing nerve
April 30th, 2007 at 2:55 pm
Hey Matt can we delete Drew’s message. There IS NO NEED for that on here.
April 30th, 2007 at 2:59 pm
Drew take your racist ass somewhere else, as for Matt, he never claimed to be a professional! You have no business using that type of language here or anywhere else! Please Matt ban that SOB Drew!
April 30th, 2007 at 3:17 pm
Talk about unprofessional #172 I think you need a lesson on that
April 30th, 2007 at 3:19 pm
Looks like if we do then you need one too. After all you are right here with us.
April 30th, 2007 at 3:25 pm
I love the “witty banter” on these discussion boards…reminds me of why I went to college.
April 30th, 2007 at 3:27 pm
Just so you know Tim I went to college too. Still am actually.
April 30th, 2007 at 3:36 pm
Thanks for removing the inappropriate posts by Drew.
Lets talk some more basketball. So, Donovan will be the
last to visit Lucas tonight? Is that right? There has
been many different things said on the internet.
April 30th, 2007 at 4:08 pm
please don’t ever refer to the Laettner comparisons again. Please don’t ever mention his repressed, homosexual name again on this site.
April 30th, 2007 at 4:19 pm
I am voting Republican, cause we have alone and systmatically created many more terrorist than were there pre 9 /11 and my daddy and his buddy ronnie created my buddy Osama. That there Afghan/Soviet War, yes sire.. created al qeauda, then lost track of them, til my daddy’s buddy saddam invaded kuwait. He is too my daddy’s buddy, just go ask the iraians during the iran/iraq war.. well he invaded kuwait and threatened to invade saudi arabia and that group with our former buddy osama, came to the saudi’s aid, but the saudi’s wanted us instead, and that made osama made at us. Hell, they told me that osama was goign to attack a year up til 9/11 but i was too busy playing golf, kind of like that there hurricane in the place where girls pull up their shirts. I love the white angel, strippers, a nd the saudi royal family. YEEE HAWWWWWWWWWW
April 30th, 2007 at 4:24 pm
I also like to play in topcat and wildcatdan’s fun place.
April 30th, 2007 at 4:39 pm
180, If you can’t articulate your braindead leftist bullcrap, don’t humiliate yourself by trying and failing. Like all leftists, you can’t defend your beliefs intellectually because you “feel” instead of “think”. It’s all emotional. That’s why you guys always end up proven wrong by history. Marx is dead and discredited. The rest of the left needs to fade away like all dinosaurs. The left is dead, but the body is still twitching a bit for a few more years.
April 30th, 2007 at 4:42 pm
Sanchez is like Laettner? So, what defenseless, undertalented player did he stomp without penalty?
April 30th, 2007 at 4:51 pm
182. You guys all sound like idiots. Quite talking politics on a sports message board.
April 30th, 2007 at 4:52 pm
And by all I mean everybody arguing their personal viewpoints on the internet…forget politics talk UK recruiting….
April 30th, 2007 at 5:42 pm
We have 3 open schollys, not 2 as the article states.
