Kenny Minchey rises in Heisman odds and 2026 transfer QB re-ranking
I think it’s fair to say that Kentucky Football will go as far as Kenny Minchey can take them. There is a reason the quarterback is the most important position on the field. And on Saturday night against LSU, the transfer quarterback had a bit of a mixed bag, though he came through when his […]
Kentucky vs. Oklahoma Injury Report: CJ Baxter questionable; Eddy Pierre-Louis unlikely to play
The Kentucky Wildcats and Oklahoma Sooners have released their second injury report ahead of Saturday’s clash in Norman. For Kentucky, Thursday’s report was mostly the same as Wednesday.

Mike Elko ironically calls out Texas A&M fans who helped get him hired over Mark Stoops
College football coaches and their fanbases often have a complicated relationship, and Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko just proved it.

Kentucky Wildcats News: Mark Pope expects greatness from Alex Wilkins, at least glimpses of it

Mark Pope says this Kentucky Basketball team is probably the best shooting team he’s ever had
Kentucky Basketball took center stage on Wednesday afternoon in Birmingham, Alabama, at the SEC Basketball Tipoff.

But it […]
When your AD beats you to the field storm: J Batt is officially one of us
When Kenny Minchey ran up the middle and sent LSU home with a loss, and Kentucky sealed its massive 35-34 overtime upset win, Big Blue Nation poured out of the stands.

Adam Zouagui and Wilson Berry will start for Kentucky at Oklahoma
In the game of football, it’s truly three phases: offense, defense, and special teams. Last Saturday, special teams had some highs and lows in Kentucky Football’s upset over LSU.

Nobody is buying Lane Kiffin’s lame excuse for losing to Kentucky
The problem with Lane Kiffin is that he has cried wolf so much that people just don’t know when to believe him. Now comes a whole new mess. After Kenny Minchey scored a touchdown on a quarterback sneak to end the first half on Saturday, Lane Kiffin was furious. In what eventually became a 35-34 […]
