For you (or us) die-hard UK fans, here is an article from the AP that was published a few minutes ago. It kind of hints about the future of 5 current Wildcats. Of course we know about Wall, Cousins, Patterson and probably Bledsoe and their seems to be a possibility that the other will....

What I've Learned

Most of you know who visit this blog that I'm seeking the republican nomination for Crittenden County Judge-Executive. I sent my letter of intent to seek this office to Frankfort in July of 09. Since that time, I have learned a whole bunch. People are fed up with politicians ( I call myself a public servant) saying, promising, and lying to them! They all want a fair shake and a public official to "LISTEN" to them! Really not much to ask, is it?

Win or loose (I plan to win) I've learned allot going door to door and talking with the voters of good Ole Crittenden County. They are descent people with more sense than most of us elected pundits. After the miles of starting & stopping & getting out & in of my little S-10 truck, I just have to say, "That a boy" or "girl" to our proud Crittenden Countians. They are much smarter and wiser than most people give us credit for.

I'm proud to live here in this hilly county called, "CRITTENDEN".

2010 NCAA Division 1 Men's Basketball Bracket


Kentucky plays East Tenn. St. Thursday @ 6:15 PM


I also read that Dick Vitale has Picked Kansas and Kentucky in the championship game with Kentucky being the victor. However, it remains to be seen if the youth of the Wildcats can withstand the pressure of the national event. Having a seasoned coach like Kentucky does, is worth its weight in gold.


Out of the Kentucky teams in the tournament, Murray State will have the biggest challenge of all. Vandy has shown itself to be very dangerous. Murray is scheduled to tip off Thursday @ 11:30 AM. With a 30 win season by the Cats as well as the Racers, fans in the Western part of the state should be riding pretty high.


Louisville will also have a challenge with California Friday. Rick Pitino is also known as a tournament coach that has a ninch for rallying his players in the NCAA basketball tourney. Going in as a 9 seed will make it difficult to overcome Cal. Yet, He can do that also.


Here is a Thought; If Pitino had stayed with the Wildcats, there would most likely be at least three more national championship banners hanging. We will never know but it is of my opinion that he (Pitino) would have rivaled the great John Wooden from UCLA as the storied program with the longest dominant program in NCAA history. Winning as many if not more games and championships than the University of California Los Angeles.
