As the NFL pre-season has officially kicked off, and the football train is going full steam ahead, it is time to pick a team to root for.

I've always been a college sports fan all the way, I am from Louisville, the land of line beards and "L-yes" but luckily I was raised right (thanks Mom and Dad!) and grew up rooting for the best team in the state/country, the Kentucky Wildcats. Needless to say I have ...

Lousville, KY- Last night a big time scrimmage filled with a lot of D1 prospect took place between two highly rated high schools. Highlands, who have two Wildcats commits on their roster in Patrick Towles and Austin Sheehan, faced off against the number ninth ranked team in the nation in Trinity.

Three former Cats saw NFL action in last night’s pre-season games:

Atlanta lost to Miami, 23-28. Corey Peters, who is currently first string left Defensive Tackle for the Hawks, got two tackles.

DeQuin Evans, who is currently listed as third string left Linebacker for the Bengals, got one tackle as Cincinnati lost to Detroit, ...

I’ve read two articles in the past two days regarding UK’s receiving corps. The first was this from the Courier-Journal which basically reminded us we have one “veteran” receiver in LaRod King. Sure, Gene McCaskill has experience as well, but injury sidelined him most of last year. And Matt Roark, Aaron Boyd and Brian Adams have limited live game ...

A handful of former Cats saw action in the first pre-season games last night. For starters, Alfonso Smith was the top-performing RB for Arizona in their 24-18 win over Oakland. Smith had 5 rushes for 31 yards (average 6.2) and a long of 8 yards and is listed as #4 on the depth chart. Ricky Lumpkin is listed as the #2 NT on the Arizona depth chart, ...

Tonight at 7:30pm Derrick Locke will take the NFL field for the first time. I don't know about you but I'm soooo excited football is gearing up and can't wait to catch a pre-season game or two on tv.
