John Clay: Three in a row for UK would be 'huge'

Having witnessed so many disappointing losses during my time as a student at UK as well as a sportscaster covering the team for WKYT, I can't tell you how much I am hoping that Kentucky beats Louisville this weekend. Such a streak would not only be huge for bragging rights within the state, it would equate to some much-deserved payback for long-time suffering UK fans.

Check out John Clay's column talking about the significance of a potential 3-game winning streak against the Cards.

If we know anything about Rich Brooks, we know Rich Brooks is all about doing at Kentucky what hasn't been done in a long time at Kentucky.

Or doing what has never been done at Kentucky.

Saturday is all about another chance to do just that.

Since the Governor's Cup series was launched in 1994, Kentucky has never beaten its cross-state rival Louisville three times in a row.

"That would be huge," Jorge Gonzalez, UK's senior center, said Wednesday.

Does Billy G Know His UK Days Are Numbered?

I have known John Clay since the mid 90's. I have always thought his observations in the Lexington Herald-Leader were mostly spot on. He and I seem to agree on certain topics/issues where others do not.

And that definitely seems to be the case in John's most recent take on Billy Gillispie's future at Kentucky.

Based on what I have been learning over the last several days, a shake up in the UK Basketball program would not be a shock to the media, the fans or even Gillispie himself.

Listening to him respond to questions today left me with the impression that he feels as if his days at Kentucky are numbered.
