Lynn, a Nation of Blue reader, recently caught up with Frosty the Snowman to ask him what he does during the off season. When frosty showed up for the interview, there wasn't much to ask. As they say, a picture is worth 1,000 words.

By far the best time of the NFL season is this weekend and of course Superbowl weekend. This year I think it's pretty cool to see some of the top teams be in the running. Some years in the NFL that just isn't the case and that is one disadvantage of the 1 and done playoff structure. But so far this year it has worked. The game just started and I am looking for a Colts win today and a Saints win tonight.

Just because the structure worked this year doesn't mean it always does. Same can be said for college basketball. Anyone could have a good game on the same day a better team is having a bad day. Sure teams have to have a certain amount of talent to make it to a playoff or the NCAA tournament but if the Raiders (funny, I know) would have made it to the playoffs and beat the Colts today would that really make them the better team or could it be simply that they had a better day? This is one of a few times that you will hear me say that I think the NBA does it better. For the NFL or NCAA a best 5 of 7 is probably too much, but I think a best 2 of 3 would give us a better picture of who the best team really was.

Anyway, here's to the Colts and to the Saints! Good luck!

Although the UK vs. UofL Game of 2010 wasn't pretty it was a win for the Wildcats in more ways than one. Confidence, emotion, bragging rights...there is so much to winning the rivalry game.

Here is a video that shows every point scored by the Wildcats during that game. Hope you enjoy the recap.

The last 25 times that Kentucky has played Auburn the Cats have won 24 times. It doesn't matter if this game was played at Charles Barkley's house, this game should be a blowout. Going into game like this, I like to find things that we could improve on and maybe even things that we could work on for future road games. Here are my 5 things that needs to happen vs. Auburn to beat our next road opponent South Carolina.[LIST=1][*]I would like to see Darius Miller be more active on the offensive end. Coach Cal told Darius "Shoot the Ball!" during the Florida game on several occasions. Lets make the Auburn game the first time that no one has to tell Miller to shoot it. Darius, just shoot it!!!
[*]Darnell Dodson needs to continue hitting big shots. Dodson can be the proverbial "nail in the coffin" type shooter. I hope he hits a couple today that puts a cap on a big run or just puts in the mind of the Auburn players that there is no chance of even staying in the game.
[*]DeAndre Liggins needs to rebound from his nonexistent performance vs. Florida. If he only plays 8 minutes, those minutes need to be the most hustling, hardest playing, and positive playing minutes of his life. He is an energy guy and he needs to show it vs Auburn, a bottom feeding SEC West team. If he can't have a lot of positives today, he isn't going to have many vs. USC on the road.
[*]Daniel Orton needs to be more of an offensive threat. He has been a defensive monster the last couple of games, but with Cousins foul trouble, Orton is going to have to be more assertive on the offensive end. The talent is there, it is just a matter of time that it will bust out. Today could be that day.
[*]My final point, is for Coach Cal. I would love for this to be a day where we could play some more of the bench players. We need a good ole blowout today. I would love to see Jon Hood, Josh Harrelson, Mark Krebs, and Perry Stevenson get more minutes earlier in the game. If the Cats could jump on them early and often, maybe we could see what those guys could give us off the bench. I am not in anyway saying these guys ought to be playing, I would just love to see Hood and how he could fit into the future of this program. The rest of the guys playing alot means it is a laugher and it is 18-0 coming back home to play a miserable Arkansas team.
