Does Kentucky’s Nike deal fall short?
Everyone knows Mitch Barnhart loves him some long-term contracts.

Kentucky Basketball unlikely to make another roster or staff addition this season
It looks like the Kentucky Basketball roster and coaching staff are set heading into the 2026-27 season and Mark Pope’s third year as head coach.

Kentucky Football is gearing up for a major road test against the South Carolina Gamecocks, a team UK has not beaten since 2021. That was the first year of the Shane Beamer era in Columbia, and if his Gamecocks don’t win this week, he may not have a job much longer. Even with pressure mounting […]

Shane Carr makes his first splash in Kentucky’s victory vs. South Alabama
When we came into the season, everyone had different opinions on the wide receiver room, for many different reasons. The only high-major proven player was Nic Anderson.

Kentucky Football’s 3 wins have been powered by lethal second halves
Alabama wasn’t fun. Watching the Crimson Tide roll off 32 unanswered points in the second half to blow open a close game could have been a warning sign for a long season. But as we pull the lens back and look at the first month of the Will Stein era, that second-half collapse against Alabama […]
