(Is this who the Cats play tonight?) Tonight our Cats play their scrimmage before the big showdown this Saturday at noon. The Cats take on a "tough" Lamar team at 8:30pm on ESPNU. Give me your score prediction, and who you think will be the leading scorer for the Wildcats. Also, for the hell of it, tell me if you think Louisville or Georgetown will win tonight. I personally am semi pulling for the Cards, I'd rather them win tonight and take thier first loss against us at Rupp. Plus, when teams lose they often come back more focused in their next game, so I would LOVE an undefeated Cardinal team to stroll into Rupp Arena as if they rull the world. Bring. It. My prediction for tonight: Kentucky 84 Lamar 61 Leading Scorer: Lamb Louisville 64 Georgetown 59 Let's get 'em Cats!
(Hahahaha!) My first time at Rupp as a member of the media...I walked in like a fish out of water, obvious rookie. Pretty cool experience though so far, can't wait to write about it! As i said on twitter, my life is surreal sometimes! Oh yeah, a pre-game note, Terrence Jones is dressed in street clothes and on the bench next to Ryan Harrow (
Amber Smith hustled after a loose ball today and dove over the table I was sitting at today right as soon as the second half started. I had just came back from the media room and sat my sweet tea down on the table. Amber proceeded to jump on top of my tea and land on the floor next to me. She got her shorts soaked and I got totally soaked with Firehouse Subs Sweet Tea. Click to watch on Youtube
The past week has been unreal for me as 3 big stories have found me and I have basically broke the stories to the masses. First off is Alex Poythress and his newly found love for the Memphis Tigers. Of course, this was huge news since everyone, including myself, thought it was a two horse race between the Cats and Vanderbilt. I was lucky enough to speak to a very good source who is very well in touch with the recruiting scene and told me Poythress was feeling Memphis after his visit. I guess it took Jarnell Stokes jumping back on the radar and Scout.com's Evan Daniels finally saying that Memphis does have a shot of landing the 5 star forward from Clarksville, Tn for everyone to finally realize I just don't sit around and make stuff up. Stacey Poole was the next big story as another source called me and told me Poole was ready to leave Lexington. I of course didn't wan't to put the information out in a way that would hurt the University or Poole so I was very vague with the tweet. As everyone knows now, Tipton and Tucker were all over it by nightfall, as it wasn't too hard to figure out who the transfer talk was about. It still seems like it is up in the air what will become of Poole, but I don't see him coming back to the basketball team. Last night finished off my crazy week as I announced, from another source, that Ole Miss head coach Houston Nutt was fired after the loss to Kentucky. Now, if you keep up with SEC football, it was not a surprise that he was on his way out at the end of the season, but the big news was it was last night and that the administration is supposed to be meeting today to decide if he finishes the season or not. Now, I am saying all of this because in each instance various people on twitter have either doubted my reports or saying I am making it up just to be noticed. Sorry, I care about my website and my name a whole lot than to just throw out things that affect other peoples lives if they aren't true. So, if you see me report something on twitter or read something that I write on Nation of Blue, then to the best of my knowledge it is true. If I am wrong, I will make sure and retract.. But that is looking far and between this week...
I have been lucky enough to meet a lot of great people along the way of writing and owning Nation of Blue and now it looks like I will be making a regular appearance on the Freak Show with John Renshaw on 1450am in Louisville. Every Kentucky basketball gameday at 4:15 I will preview the game for that night on the show. This is supposed to be leading to me having my own show in the afternoons on 1450am in a couple of weeks. Pretty exciting time for Nation of Blue and yours truly. Try and check it out on 1450 The Sports Buzz.
