The game last night leaves me with many things on my mind... Many of which I'm going to have to think long and hard about before I put them up on this blog. Since I'm out on site with Mike and Chris right now at the Ketch, and since I'm typing on Chris Cross' computer, I cannot give enough time that a response to this game deserves. Know that I will type out a great response to this game when I get some time tonight.

Glen and J-Delicious, keep your heads up. At least we have the blog for group therapy. Glen, do you think you could get more of your friends to post on the blog? If more people get involved with it, I'm sure I could get Chris and Mike to use it on the show more.

Just an idea. If you all have any ideas on how to improve the blog, let me know.

No, Glen, I wasn't offended at what you wrote at all. You just made me think about the way I think about UK basketball, Tubby, and the whole lot and I felt disappointed in myself, being a Cats fan and all.

I wouldn't say I am an outright Tubby basher, but I have my moments. The past couple of years several of his decisions made during the game really didn't make sense to me. Sometimes they would end with great results. Other times, not so great. I know he knows a lot more about the game than I do.

This year seems a little different to me. I am not positive, but it seems to me that there is such a high rate of turnovers committed by the team. I know that Tubby's coaching cannot be the underlying factor of the turnovers. They hold the ball, Tubby tells them to push it. He has said that in press conferences numerous times. At the games, I see him stomp his foot and point to their basket telling them to push it.

I just don't understand why they don't. The first half of the Georgia game and the last ten minutes of yesterday's game had two things in common. They were pushing the ball.

Glen, I do agree with you on the fact that Chris and Mike need to be involved first hand with the blog. If at the very least, they could just post a comment on something just to get conversation on it. Maybe a contest or two for the bloggers. As far as the representation and recognition of the blog. I've heard John's commercial for it. Cross and Cameron mention it once or twice each day on the show.

Thanks for checking my site, Glen. I appreciate it.
