Kentucky Opens As A 12.5-Point Favorite Over Louisville
Good Lord, that's...that's...
For reference, in the 2009-10 game, the John Wall/DeMarcus Cousins team that was undefeated at the time was just a 7.5-point favorite over the Edgar Sosa/Jerry Smith team that had already been blown out by Western Carolina. Twelve and-a-half is just a monster number.
Via Hot Hot, the last time a Louisville/Kentucky game had a double digit favorite was Dec 29, 2001, when UK was favored to win by 13. Cats won by 20, 82-62.
Of course also worth noting is that Kentucky has not covered the spread in its last eight games. So there's that.
In other news, apparently we've been kicked out of the city of Paintsville.

Must have been all the making fun of J.R. VanHoose I did in 5th grade. Seemed so harmless.

Paintsville is pretty close to Middlesboro
home of YouTube’s number one …NUMBER. ONE. Kentucky fan. Maybe CGR has more clout than we first thought, to be blocking websites and such.
My God
Reed’s even more powerful than we thought.

I just can't help but feel like
this is going to be one of those games that is close for a while but we aren’t ever really in it. Then UK goes on a run with 8 to go or so in the second half where they are getting easy dunks and three point shots.
Response to the Cousins video
I’d probably retaliate too if I got kicked in the face. Pot calling the kettle black. Watch this….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA0Elk2mzRo

It's still just unbelievable to me what they're capable of convincing themselves of
It just can’t be someone on their side at fault.

We have only been double digit dogs 5 times since Rick has been here, and the only 3 of those games we lost by double digits were all in year 1.
I’m just sayin’, someone’s getting fired in Vegas this weekend.

he resumed practice
They say he can do no contact drills, I guess the surprise I am hoping for is that he has actually resumed full practice and will see minutes, pull put the tricks Ricky P!
I mean the way the back and forth has been this offseason and into the season I wouldn’t be surprised for mind games and tricks on either side

Would be awesome
but that’s not the type of injury you’d want an 18 year old pro prospect to return early from. I’ll be surprised, and a little worried, if he’s playing before February.

I could have sworn that you said "Pantsville" instead of "Paintsville"
Because if we win this game, many of us will not be allowed in Pantsville, since most of us will be without pants
