The brainchild of John Calipari, Hoops for Haiti was a smashing success, raising more than $1 million in aid for the earthquake victims of Haiti. Coach Cal presented the idea to WKYT General Manager Wayne Martin on Friday, and without hesitation, the station embarked on a 48-hour scramble to get the event on the air. Station manager Mike Kanarek and his crew relied upon their telethon experience and turned organized chaos into a thing of beauty. (Read Blog)

There's a new sheriff in town, and with it, renewed optimism. I'm speaking specifically about UK coach John Calipari and the excitement he's generated since being on the job since April 1. Coach Cal has spent a good portion of his time in the Bluegrass State meeting fans and spreading the word, that Kentucky is back and in a big way. He nearly single-handedly raised the excitement level to a fever pitch, in what was one of the most anticipated basketball seasons in recent UK history. Now, Coach Cal is reaching out to the fans, again. This time on his weekly basketball show, "This IS Kentucky Basketball," which airs around the state on the Big Blue Sports Network. The first installment airs this Sunday here in Lexington on WKYT. (Read Blog)

For the third time in the past four seasons, the football Wildcats will be heading south to Nashville for the bowl season. With all due respect to the Music City and bowl organizers, it's not the destination that UK fans, players and coaches had hoped for. Many were thinking warmer climates, like Tampa, or even indoors, like Atlanta. (Read Blog)

24 years of futility was within their grasp. All the football Wildcats had to do was force Tennessee, which hasn't lost to Kentucky since 1984, into a punting situation, by holding the Vols on third and 18, midway through the third quarter. With the Cats clinging to a 21-14 lead, Tennessee's Jonathon Crompton completed a pass to former Madison Southern star Luke Stocker, now a UT tight end, for a gain of 30 yards and a first down. Drive alive. Streak alive. (Read Blog)

I was cleaning out a closet here in the WKYT sports office and ran across a yellowing Herald-Leader sports section, the headline screaming, "Master, Turpin spur a Wildcat rout." The date was November 17, 1983 and UK had just whipped Louisville, 65-44. Quickly, I flashed onto this year's Dream Game matchup between the Cats and the Cards, one I've got circled on my calender as "must see." I've heard many say this season's game between UK and U of L might be one of the most anticipated in the rivalry's history. (Read Blog)

Certainly, it was a scary moment for UK players, coaches and fans, when guards Ramon Harris and Michael Porter collided during the first half of Wednesday's blowout win over Lamar.

The junior fell near midcourt with a severe cut above his left eye. Harris fell between the UK bench and the free throw lane. As team physicians attended to him, Harris was moving his legs and feet, in obvious pain. His teammates said Harris was crying out. (Read Blog)
