It's that time of year again. The closest we'll get to a playoff happens today, with conference championship games being played across the country. UK v. UNC basketball at 12:30. And to top it all off, a UofL Saturday night basketball game at Freedom Hall.
Fun day for sports. Everyone feel free to stop by and weigh in. Tebow could care less about your opinion.

College Gameday just said that Strong was going to Louisville in a discussion of defensive coordinator openings
So… like… it has to happen now
Gulp
…not because I don’t want Strong, but because “done deal” usually means that person has already turned down the job.
I'm going to start off watching UC at Pitt
But then will probably flip back and forth with the UK game. I can’t help and watch, because I think they are going to get exposed and look bad. One can hope anyways.
Snow for the Pitt/UC Game
Should be a fun one to watch.
Gotta cheer for Cinci
A Cinci win, a Texas loss, a jump over TCU in the polls, and Cincinnati could be playing for the Nat. Championship (where they would probably get worked). It could happen and it would be huge for the big east.
That would be awesome
But I just don’t think the human polls are going to let UC jump over TCU. UC needs to blow Pitt out of the water for any chance of that.

I hope Bama intercepts Tebow 12 times
and anyone heard the rumor that LeBron is gonna be at the UK game? barf
You can't let UK run
Wall is a one man fast break. Gotta make them get into a half court and shoot threes
But on the whole, they aren't a great shooting team
They won’t shoot like this consistently
I hate to be the Debby Downer in here
but UK cannot handle this team at Rupp if we don’t improve vastly
Zone defense...
…and some semblance of an offense will help.
But with the way we’ve played so far + injuries + Samardo’s nonsense I’m downgrading my already-reasonable expectations for this team this season.
On the bright side, Wall will be gone next year and Calipari will inevitably disappoint UK fans by not winning the championship.
I really wanna see UK play Kansas
also, you know Jim Calhoun isn’t moving from this film until he has a great gameplan, maybe they’ll bring the UK fans down to earth
Cincy playing scared right now.
I think Pitt is going to win if they keep the Cincy D on the field this much..
WOW flea flicker!
I feel like UNC has committed the same turnover at least 7 times
That first pass to the wing must be harder than it looks..
Kick Return for Cincy
Marty is really good.

Brickley..
…I think he’s f’ing with Charlotte because he keeps tweeting them as “UNC-Charlotte”: http://twitter.com/Cbrickley11
Who was the guy with the head band for Charlotte who was so good?
Competed with Garcia for C-USA MVP (and I think won it) in ’05.

yeesh back to back INTs
for both teams

yeah, that was nice, but
they have both went to commercial at the same time 3 times earlier.

UK loves to run after a missed basket
UConn killed us with that last year
Bad entry passes...
..and clanked open shots. Not a good way to get back into the game.
Mike is right – if Henson youtubes Orton there and gets an and-1….pretty big swing from that to block + patterson dunk.
Why does UK make their jersey tops so fucking tight
and their shorts so long and baggy… fashion faux pas
NCAA needs to limit length of shorts like the NBA
They look absolutely ridiculous. Seems it would inhibit your speed and dribbling ability.
For sure
Are you a Centre Alum or current student?
UNC..
…they are playing horrible it feels like, and keep blowing opportunities. Somehow down to 6 points.
Two bricked open threes for UK
This is reminding me of UL @ UNLV a bit here down the stretch.

Ya those were huge...
….Dodson and Miller wide open aren’t going to both miss too many times down the court.
Wall..
…strips it from Ed Davis without fouling somehow, steps out of bounds, sprints down the court and trips and gets the foul called.
I hate to count UNC out but it seems like their window is fast closing.
This officiating sucks.
That wasn’t even close to out of bounds. This is seriously about as lopsided of officiating I’ve seen in a while.
Game over
…what a great game. UK looked pretty damn unstoppable in the first half, and UNC made lots of mistakes in the second half.
Can’t wait for UK-UConn.
Okay, back to Cinci-Pitt until the Main Event.
Sports!
Seriously
I know he’s a senior but at what point does securing an undefeated season take precedence?

Put in Collaros at QB...
…and Pike for the hold, apparently.
Collaros’s hands probably cold from sitting on sideline.
As soon as the announcer said “big extra point” it almost was destined to be a shank.
I know
Everyone had to have thought the same thing right after he said it. It was eerie.
by Mike Rutherford on Dec 5, 2009 3:00 PM EST up reply actions
I think everyone...
..who played under Krag should apply for a hardship waiver and ask for an extra year.
I'd grant it if I ran the NCAA
I’d also put UK on probation for violation of the rule against being douchey (it’s a word, Mike used it the other day)
How dare you bad mouth the greatest NFL front office executive in the history of the world
It’s this thing i invented called sarcasm
Oh wow.
Um… Big East refs need to stop acting like SEC refs… I want Cincy to win and all, but that was just bad.
1:36 and two timeouts.
I like the chances of OT.
Unless Kelly decides to go for two. That would be epic.
Long ball
….with two timeouts, do you think a couple long ball jump balls is a better strategy than over-the-middle 12 yard routes?
Gilyard Wins Big East!
Cincinnati goes along for the ride.
Also, you have to feel for that holder. Wow.
CBS announcers are retarded.
If Toby Gerhart isn’t in the lead for the Heisman at this point, something’s wrong.
Okay...
…everyone has 20 minutes to take a quick break, watch your favorite 2006 college football highlights (I’ll be watching Mario’s stiff-arm again and again and again and again) and then meet back here for UF-Bama.
That would make my year.
"It's not the South, it's not Chicago, and you don't think of it as you think of New York or L.A. It has some Southern romanticism to it, but also a Northern progressivism, this weird urban island in the middle of the state of Kentucky...For us, Louisville and the surrounding areas are the center of massive creativity and massive weirdness." - Jim James, My Morning Jacket
Rules for Tebow drinking game:
♦ Drink every time Tebow is called "a warrior."
♦ Drink every time Tebow’s called "a leader," then salute.
♦ Drink every time Tebow’s called a special athlete"
♦ Finish your drink if the announcers suggest Tebow should win the Heisman again this year.
♦ Drink every time Tebow points to the sky. Then realize the only reason the sky hasn’t fallen is the strength of his pointing.
♦ Drink every time he’s shown on the sidelines flapping his arms like a bird (or an idiot) to pump up the crowd.
♦ Drink every time Tebow’s on camera for no reason when the Florida defense is on the field.
♦ Drink every time Tebow is seen screaming with his helmet off.
♦ Drink every time they show a "I Heart Tebow" sign in the stands.
♦ Drink every time you see a Florida fan in "jorts" [jean shorts]. (Small sips on this one. Otherwise it could kill you).
♦ Shot every time they mention his experience as missionary.
♦ If they mention him performing circumcisions in the Philippines while he was a missionary: Chug your beer, do a shot of Patron.

that's pretty funny
the shots of Tebow will Florida is on defense would get you drunk by itself
ESPNU
I would love to watch UofL Charlotte, but I can’t afford ESPNU package and I have a little one so I have to stay home. Anyone have an online source where I can start watching games?
So, this is my first time watching a full Florida football game
and I understand that Alabama is very good. That being said, I’m not being blown away by their defense.
I’d still gladly take Strong.
