I don’t remember the exact year, probably 1992, but I remember vividly my first (and to date, only) meeting with Richie Farmer. It was at the Hazard Black Gold Festival, an event I used to attend religiously. The Black Gold Festival coincided with my birthday, so I’d take my birthday money and go play games, get some food and watch the free concert held downtown. The concert was usually a country group like Shenandoah or McBride and the Ride, and despite not being ...

As most of you know, former Kentucky basketball player Richie Farmer has been under the microscope after his time as Commissioner of Agriculture.

His time in public office has not helped him at all.

The State Auditor has divulged himself into Farmer's administration and it has gotten worse.

Since the SEC has added Missouri and Texas A&M to the fold, those extra games could squeeze out one of the non-conference contests, not to mention it limits what different teams Kentucky could schedule each year. The question is, which rivalry game gets cut, Louisville, Indiana or North Carolina?

Case 1: Louisville

Why keep them on the schedule?

Louisville is arguably Kentucky’s chief rival for many reasons. You could cite the dominance of Kentucky’s popularity across the Commonwealth, including ...

White, a 6-foot-8 forward from Whitney Young High School, ...
