The inaugural Railbird Fest is being held in Lexington, KY at Keeneland Race Course on August 10th & 11th. The lineup was announced this morning, and you can get presale tickets right now with the code SUREBET. https://www.railbirdfest.com/ Looks like a pretty cool lineup, highlighted by The Raconte...

Now I can exhale and watch the rest of the games this weekend stress-free You got lucky that the kid who was 0-for-a million from 3 kept chucking up terrible shots down the stretch Dude shoots those shots every game and he was 3-37 from 3 against the three elite teams he played this year, us, KU an...

I got 13 as well, I missed Baylor, Minnesota & Maryland. My 9-year old son got 15, only missed Minnesota, so he talked trash to me all the way to school this morning.

It seemed the committee did a better job this year than most, no big gripes here. One minor quibble is it seems Duke didn't get punished for losing without Zion, but UNC still got credit for beating them without him. I also didn't think it was fair to UNC to put Kansas as their #4 in Kansas City. Io...

Check out the “Conference tournaments” section of the article linked below for evidence that this year’s conference tournament results did not affect the committee as much as one might have thought. http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/26281995/bracket-winners-losers The conferenc...

After giving it a whole day of thought, I’m willing to call yesterday the best Tennessee basketball game I’ve ever been to. Fantastic atmosphere, and obviously a favorable result. The only real contenders would be the 88-58 beatdown of Kentucky back in 2013 (even though UK was FAR from full strengt...

Awesome news, as someone who has seen close family members struggle with depression and mental health issues, I truly appreciate the work you guys do.

If y’all don’t hear from me after tomorrow, it’s because I was gifted a ticket to the UK-UT game and I think I might die from the stress before I even step into the arena. I got a feeling you'll be ok tomorrow. Looks like we are without Reid Travis again, and that's going to hurt bad against your f...

B, agree. I think ACC is gonna get two #1 seeds and three schools are fighting for the spots. Barring a collapse in ACC Tournament I see UVA as locked. If we beat dook and then have a good run in ACC Tournament we could get the other one. However, dook has the same option (though another loss befor...

I thought Kentucky was a top 3-4 team in basketball until last night. I still think they’re very good, but I’m pretty confident in this team. They feel like the first UT squad in my lifetime that can walk into Rupp EXPECTING to win. I expect to get back to my college weight one of these days too lo...

i did, thanks!

i was wondering who i knew in Kentucky!

I started to address it from Jesus State #3 lol

Sent your money out a week or so ago Tinnitus, hope you got it. Congrats again.

Apparently Davis was an assistant for both Tim Floyd and Larry Eustachy, prior to either being at ISU. Loved that effort yesterday. With the challenge having been renewed for 6 more years, it's time to get Kentucky into Hilton. That would be awesome, I might have to make a road trip to Ames if that...

They are supposed to headline the free music festival in my hometown over Labor Day weekend, hope the organizers have a backup plan.

Great read. I have always disagreed with one characteristic of Isbell's drinking days: the shows didn't suck. I honestly enjoyed those sets more. Unpredictable, wild, shredding, rock and roll. But never sloppy train wrecks. Pretty obvious Jason was going to that place as soon as he got off the stag...

Carry on.

Taking my son to watch UK/KU next Saturday. He’s been to several games, but this will be his first big-game atmosphere at Rupp, hopefully we can pull out a W.

Hope to make at least one of the Asheville shows

a prior commitment on my end to Produce an artist that I have been wanting to work with for nearly two decades Color me intrigued. Who might this be? I was wondering about this too. Educated guess: Claire Campbell? I talked to her at the 40 Watt last year the day after she performed at that Caledon...

Neal Brown leaves Troy to take the WVU gig. I hope he does well cause he’s a KY native and I saw him at a DBT concert in Lexington, KY shortly after he joined Mark Stoops’ staff at UK back in 2013.

As a UK fan, I wish they could play UNC 5 times a year. Win or lose, the games are always so entertaining. Big win today, really needed that one. Ashton Hagans was a junkyard dog on the defensive end, loved watching him.

This is high school basketball, not college, but I still wanted to share. Our local CBS affiliate in Hazard, KY, WYMT, sponsors has an annual basketball tournament. There have been some crazy finishes over the years, but I think this shot last night might top them all. The crazy finish to the game s...

It was the first time in school history someone has won the award. Very happy for the kid, wa...

Penn State vs Kentucky in the citrus bowl. Where's rlipps? :twisted: First time we've played in a New Year's Day bowl since PSU beat us in the Outback Bowl in 1998. I'd love to make the trip for this one, but we just took the kids to Disney a little over a month ago, so it's just feasible to make t...

Closest show to me is Chicago, which is about 7 hours each way, so I won't be catching them on this tour. I was hoping for Nashville, Cincy or even Atlanta, but oh well.

That's a great 2 nights of shows. Was supposed to see Lee and the boys tonight, but my daughter's 10th birthday party takes precedence.

Saw them in Columbus, OH for the first time on the Licks tour in 2002. The White Stripes opened and the Stones were highlighting a different of their classic albums each night if I remember correctly. We got Beggar's Banquet, so I got to hear No Expectations, Stray Cat Blues, Street Fighting Man and...

When I was little, I only knew of him through Hee Haw. I had no idea what a great player he was until an older cousin gave me an album he did with Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown. Such a great guitarist, RIP.
