Keep your eye on a white kid from Kentucky. I saw him in the KY state tournament this year. His name is Elisha Justice, plays for a school called Shelby Valley, and will be a senior next year. I was really impressed with him in the state tournament. He's a 5-11 point guard and had complete...

Considering that he's only 20 years old his "woeful" lack of athleticism will probably change a bit in the next couple of years. People forget that white players tend to mature a bit later than blacks. He's probably not even close to reaching his full potential as an athlete.

Actually, that's the team I support. They've had excellent teams for several years now. They've got a great bunch of kids and great coaches as well. Everyone connected to that program from the coaches to the trainers are first class.

The KY fans are all ecstatic about him because they think he'll mean a return to the glory days. I've about had it with DI basketball and stuff like this makes me more convinced to spend all my energy supporting my local DIII team.

As a KY fan I was really glad to see Billy Gillispie get his walking papers. The man has some serious issues and needs therapy. The name being batted around on the bulletin boards for the next UK coach is John Calipari. My impression of him was that he mostly recruited and played black...

Ogilvy had 33 points and 10 boards against #11 LSU last night. He's been sick or injured most of the year and is just now getting to 100%. Last Saturday he had 28 against South Carolina.

Pardon me for posting this under college basketball but it is basketball related. I'm coaching my son's 6th grade rec league team and have a couple of black kids on the team. Guess who the only two kids are that already have an attitude? In the first game, they would pass to each other but...

Here's a great slideshow of the most recent contest. http://media.cnpapers.com/strongestman/ Note the complete dominance by Northern Europeans.

There was an article in the local media that Lyons had lost about 20 pounds so he could be quicker this season. He played at 195 last year and at 5-11" thought that was too heavy.

It will probably be the white QB Hartline since Curtis Pulley got in trouble for marijuana possession. The coaches haven't made a statement yet on what they're going to do about him.

I've watched Jacob Tamme during his career at both Boyle County High in Danville, KY and at UK. He's a quality individual as well as an excellent football player. I have NEVER heard anything but praise regarding the young man's character and behavior on and off the field. I hope the Colts...

Well, as of July 22 the verdict is still out on whether Hartline (white) will start at quarterback or if Pulley (black) will start. Given that Pulley is a better runner it implies to me that 1. he isn't smart enough to "get" the offense or 2. his passing is not that accurate. Andre Woodson...

Here's where I differ with the mainstream sports media. "Athletic" in their eyes means the ability to run and jump. In my humble opinion, shooting a basketball requires "athletic" ability. Sure it's a skill, and it's perfected with long hours of practice, but there's something to be said about...

Well, I was pulling for Boston because I can't stand Kobe Bryant. Personally, I'm not as worried about whether a player is black or white as some on this board are. I do care about the quality of the game and IMHO the black game has degenerated into a very boring display of individual moves...

Patrick Sparks did start for Tubby but there were rumors flying all around the state regarding the problems between Sparks and Rondo. Tubby inherited some great white players from Pitino when he first got to KY but seemed to have fewer good white players as time went by. I'm not sure if he...

The once great Kentucky program has fallen to new depths. The debate on the Kentucky bulletin boards is whether Tubby Smith ran the program into the ground or whether Billy Gillispie is an idiot. Most folks are on the "Tubby left the cupboard bare" bandwagon. I'm 50/50. I think he left the...

I tried to find his 40 time using Google and it came back with 4.6. It had Stallworth at 4.2. At least on that play he looked much faster than Stallworth. I found a video of the play but they cut it off before they go to the aerial view which showed them essentially running side by side and...

There was a play in the 2nd half of the Colts/Patriots game where Donte Stallworth caught a fairly deep ball. In the replay they commented that Welker was such a threat that it left Stallworth open. They showed an aerial view of the play and Welker was easily two steps further down the field...

And it wasn't just any 100 yard game, he gained yards when the game was on the line and the defense was stacked to stop him. He is tough as nails. As a KY fan I hate to see him coming to Lexington this Saturday.

But wait, didn't Michael Irvin say Tony Romo wasn't an afflete? I didn't think white athletes are supposed to be able to juke a brother.

Being a Kentuckian and a Couch fan I'd love to see him get a decent chance. He's an excellent athlete, as a high school senior he was a legit contender for Mr. Basketball in KY.

Man awarded $260k after beating from Iverson's entourage. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2930669 My question is this, what has it come to when a basketball player has an "entourage"? These guys are paid WAY too much money for playing a game.

Last year's finals were an example of why this "study" is complete BS. Wade drew a foul every time he bulldozed his way to the basket or flopped on a jumper. It was ridiculous. Dirk got mugged and didn't get the calls.

Allen Iverson??? Year 1: 39% from 2 point range, 23% from 3, and 69% on FT's Year 2: 48% from 2 point range, 37% from 3, and 68% on FT's Overall 44% from 2 point range 31.4% from 3 68.3% from FT line

As a KY resident and observer of UK basketball I've never detected the angry racism and chip on the shoulder demonstrated by the other coaches you've mentioned. Most people around Lexington, white and black, really liked Tubby on a personal level. It just seemed to me that he either couldn't...
