The Ugly "W"

A win is win, not a loss, not a tie, but a win. We are 4-1 not 3-2, lets keep that in mind. While obviously another near 50 point blowout would have been nice against the Brook of Stones, we never the less snoozed (no pun intended AJ) our way through the contest. It's starting to sound like a broken record, Patrick Patterson is good....very good in fact. He just may be the best freshman at UK since the Monster Mash. Hopefully Mr. Patterson will soon take the reigns as the leader of the team. I prematurely stated that Joe Crawford seemed to be getting it. Well he kinda lost it the other night. It is possible that the young team was overlooking the Brook in anticipation of the Tar Heels on Saturday. Young teams without proper leadership are guilty of this from time to time, so I'll give the Cats a pass on this one. At least we won.

Another pleasant surprise was the return of Razor Ramon Harris. I for one was not expecting his return this early, and I am truly thankful that he is back in time for the UNC game. We will need all the help that we can get. While I'm still not sold on Perry Stevenson and his uncanny ability to not use his athletic ability on the offensive end, he showed what he may be capable of. Lets all hope this is some of the production that can be counted on, night after night.

First big test of the year for the Cats this Saturday on the deuce. Cat fans please don't forget that Dick Vitale will be calling the game, and it is the same Dick Vitale who chastised UK fans for their "treatment" of Tubby Smith. Lets please send this loudmouth a message, as well as pack Rupp and have it rocking. I'll be in attendance on Saturday, section 241 with all the other real fans. I would like to ask all fans as well to please hold out on passing judgment on Billy Clyde until after a year or two, and not five games. Rich Brooks, Rich Brooks, Rich Brooks....Thank You.
