BRADY BALLART – LINEBACKER 247 Composite – 3-Star OFFERS: Toledo, Air Force, Eastern Michigan Highlights: Evaluation: Ballart joined this class early in the cycle, and he has been a vocal cheerleader for the class and the program.

TAJ POWELL – LINEBACKER 247 Composite – 3-Star OFFERS: West Virginia, UK, Toledo, Temple Highlights: Evaluation: It’s not always great to make direct comparisons to players, but Powell reminds me so much of TJ Quinn as a prospect.

I try to view things in context, keep a broad perspective, look at what’s happening from different angles. It doesn’t always work. Like my sense that Kentucky would not fire Mark Stoops this year. I was wrong. Now, I understand. They’ve been crushed by their hated rival two years in a row, the latest a […]

Sweet. Unexpected. A derailment of a clobberation at the RR Yard. Louisville 41, Kentucky 0. In ping pong we’d call that a skunk. In the Commonwealth, we call it a beatdown, a gubernatorial landslide of epic proportions. Cards total of 41 matched that from last season’s Krogering shopping spree. Last eight quarters: U of L […]

JEFF BROHM NEEDS TO STICK WITH DEUCE ADAMS Louisville is going to go to a bowl game, but there is not much else left for this season outside of some statistical milestones and bragging rights. The issue for Brohm, at least in my humble opinion, is that next year’s roster has major gaps. Quarterback is […]

Mark Stoops is coaching for his job for what seems like the fifth straight year, but his team has shown up for him lately when things seemed to be at their worst. The Cats showed fight against a Tennessee team that punched them in the mouth before going on a three-game winning streak to put […]

The most underrated defensive coordinator in the country might just be Brad White. The Kentucky play caller has spent the last half of the decade putting the Cats in a position to win a good amount of games that they had no business winning.

Transparency in reportage: I wasn’t in the Yum! to cover the Thanksgiving Eve Cardinals game. Several reasons. 9:00 Tip off was at my normal bedtime. The game was against a Bottom Ten ranked school. Driving home late at night on one of the biggest bar nights of the year is not optimal for an old […]

This started like the kind of affair the Cardinals have played many times through the years. After a big road W, a generally mundane let-down effort against an overmatched foe during the holidays, when a lot of fans stayed home to make some sweet potato pie. Early on, the team’s focus was less than. Missed […]
