Sued and Screwed


What a week it has been for University of Kentucky's Athletic Director Mitch Barnhardt. In the same week reports of the University being Sued by their former coach, and reports that their new coach is under heavy investigation by the NCAA have all surfaced.

On the brink of having the Number 1 recruiting class in the nation the wildcats still can't seem to get rid of the dark cloud hovering around its basketball program, with Billy Clyde still showing his face around town all the while preparing to drop the six million dollar hammer on the University for payment he feels he is still owed.

But the scrutiny doesn't stop there, UK's new Savior has been brought to the forefront of a NCAA investigation of Memphis University's basketball program, where there has been reports of tampering with a SAT score of a former Memphis player who many are saying may be NBA Rookie of the year Derrick Rose.

I guess by now coach Cal. is getting pretty used to having his victories contested, with the 'disappearance' of his UMass final four, and now with the risk of losing his Memphis championship run, all that is left is for the floor to fall in on the CALIPARTY, before the music even starts to play.

This Just In

Hello Wildcat fans of the world hope you are enjoying what surely is the weirdest Thursday in recent memory. Now to the news.

  • As of right now Jodie Meeks is planning on testing the draft waters (the NCAA allows you one chance...you can thank Mr. Randolph Morris for that one). He will use the opportunity to gauge his draft position which from other internet sources will be around the late 1st early 2nd round. In doing this he will also be waiting to see who the new coach is and let that play into his decision. Jodie you know we love you (no homo) and from everybody at the fix take your time and make the best choice for yourself.
Hope everybody has a great Thirsty Thursday.
