  1. Trigg County fell behind 20-0 a minute into the third quarter. They then scored the final 34 points of the game for the win. They got a scoop and score on one of three Monroe turnovers in the second half. Trigg QB Cam Jordan ran for 151 and threw for 199. Trigg's defense held Monroe to 10 rushing yards in the second half.

     

    A couple of key points. Monroe's starting QB didn't play due to injury. Also, Monroe was on the verge of going up 27-0 when they hit a receiver on a screen for an apparent touchdown. He went down at his own 40 with a cramp. The Trigg scoop and score soon followed and the game's complexion changed.

  2. Back in the day before ESPN secured any pro sports contracts, I can remember watching Warren Moon play for the Eskimos in the CFL, watching unlimited hydroplane racing with Chip Hanaur, and Australian Rules Football. That, and waking up to the Sportscenter loop running until noon

  3. Well I also wouldn't say offer scholarships just to offer them to have a full roster. I'm sure he had no way of knowing both Baker and Vanderbilt would have basically season ending injuries. With those two they would have been 10 deep last year. Meaning having those other roster spots full with scholarship players just take up scholarships to offer to better players the next year. Like how this year they are trying to bring in a boat load of talented guys with many guys possibly reclassifying. If they filled it with more scholarship guys last year just to fill out. Then they wouldn't be available this year.

     

     

    Last year was just bad luck with injuries. Which is not something that happens often.

     

    A top tier program in the nation can't be down to eight scholarship players when there are two empty scholarships. It just can't happen. You are allowed to carry 13 scholarship players. UK had 11 last year. Winyard, Baker, and Vanderbilt all missed significant time.

     

    There is no reason why Calipari or his staff can't find someone like a Darius Miller or Derek Willis (doesn't have to be a kid from Kentucky) to fill the other two spots and coach up for 2-3 years. If it were me, I would fill the two spots with the two best perimeter shooters I could find.

  4. It doesn't bother me if Calipari fills his scholarship quota on the roster fully unlike last year.

     

    If Payne and Brad Calipari get minutes when there are 2-3 open roster slots, then I'm not a fan. There should never be a reason why UK is down to eight scholarship players for any game.
