Hey everyone,
So for those of you that were lucky enough to go to the UK game last night, I was suprised at the lack of people in the seats. But, that's not the real story. Yes, I understand it's Lindsey Wilson, but those freshmen looked pretty good. He played 3 of them (Meeks, Jasper, and Stevenson) for over 20 minutes and played Porter for 17. Meeks even had 28 minutes! It wasn't Meeks point scoring ability that impressed me the most (although he did go 3-4 from 3 point land), but it was Stevenson's defense.
Everyone went in talking about Meeks and Jasper and overlooked the tall and lanky Stevenson. We know Meeks is good. We know that he'll play a lot right away. Stevenson is someone that has that ability as well; he looked like he could jump twice before anyone else could jump once.
Tubby definitely used this game to get a good look at his freshmen, and if he's like me, he liked what he saw. Lindsey Wilson may not be an SEC team, but they're still ranked 8th in the NAIA.
So what are we looking at now:
Morris: 4/5
??????: 4/5 (Maybe Stevenson or Thomas when he gets back)
Perry: 3
Crawford: 2
Bradley: 1
Meeks: 1st sub
For his starting role, Woo only played 10 minutes. The only player that got less minutes than him was Mark Coury.
What did you guys think of this game?
Rob-I will do my best to post more blogs. I had hoped that more people would join in, but if you guys have something you want to talk about, post it in a comment and I'll move it to the main topic.

Q-Berry, Cross doesn't set a good example. He's an East Coaster. Cameron wouldn't ever do something like that. This blog promotes a radio station out of Lexington...not Loserville. That is why the focus is on UK sports. And no, Loserville is definitely not as good as OSU. As I watched the WVU/UofL game the other night, it was apparent there wasn't enough defense on the field by either team that would be proficient in stopping OSU (as bad as I hate to say it).
As far as that football game being watched more than the exhibition game, I sold my tickets for that game. The exhibition game had no implication at all for this years team. Outperforming a NAIA team? There is no gauge of talent in the game. Don't think you can use that as a basis for judging the state's interest in UofL football. It is just not there.
WVU is my football team behind the Wildcats (I bleed blue, son, not red and blue).
