And there it is.

And he plays same position as Quinn Cook, the senior who epitomizes Coach K basketball. Tough to sit him.

Grayson didn't start playing well until the end of the regular season. He has come on of late though.

Plumlee has no chance of guarding the Tank.

No, but as you typed that they picked up another football NC during the Woodrow Wilson administration...

WOS has had its share of kids that excelled at all 3 of those sports. Earl Thomas comes to mind and Deionte lately. Is this discounted for being a small school, even though they would likely have beaten Ozen at 2 of the 3 sports?

Not sure about track but certainly josh Boyd in football and basketball.

I really don't want to open a can of worms here but a point needs to be made. Kids of that generation use that word, with the -a ending, all the time. I don't like it in any form and don't like it used around me. But they use it as a general term, many times with no negative connotation. The problem is the history of the word. That being said, I don't see how Andrew's use of it referring to a white player is a racial slur. If he had called him a cracker or a honky, then yes I could see the racist slant. Here, the use of the F word was the more hostile part of the statement. And, to be sure, the whole statement was incredibly stupid, especially sitting on a dais during a post-game presser. As we see all the time, kids do and say stupid things from time to time. In this one, no one got hurt except the kid using poor judgment and not controlling his emotions. I can tell you first hand, however, this is not a bad kid. He is, in fact, the opposite of that.

What the hell? Terrible foul call there.

Gift wrapped basket for Wisconsin

Not at all. Completely agree with you. I was just pointing out they were lax with calling the steps. No biggie with me either.

Dekker traveled a couple of times with no call as well. One time before he was fouled. But officials were consistent and I agree pretty good.

UK shot 60% in the 1h.

Just a reminder that Shaka Smart is the basketball coach at the University of Texas. The only other time my alma mater hired my first choice for a replacement was with Augie. That seems to have been a good hire...

Thankfully Lamar pulled his head from its arse tho...

Heard he's been granted his release from UNO. Rumor is he will likely end up at Lamar or maybe Lamar PA if he doesn't want to sit out a year.

Imo, very deserving. He will always be discounted for his coaching due to his recruiting (although recruiting is a big part of coaching at the collegiate level so that doesn't make a lot of sense to me). But the way he has taken so many so-called stars and got them to buy in and play together selflessly is nothing short of masterful to me. I have never been a UK fan but have rooted for them the last two years for personal reasons. Regardless, really hope those kids finish off one of the all time great seasons this weekend.

Thanks for sharing. Great article.

And now Mr. Buddy G has a new favorite Juco team... Any team playing Ranger JC...

Not sure about the dancers, but would bet my last dollar nothing in the Richmond can touch Franklin's...

He is also a world class water polo player.

A football coach at UT believes Grayland is the #1 kid in the state in his class under the "Athlete" category. If he is, it's hard to be more athletic than that.

Ahh - I was thinking Andrae since you had spent time in Abilene. Finley even better.

Holy smoke - is that Andrae's boy??

If by arguably, you mean absolutely ;)
