Happy Thanksgiving!

The beloved Kentucky Wildcats are four games into their ‘06-’07 campaign, and were just barely eliminated from the Maui Invitational by #5-ranked UCLA. It’s a promising start to what could be a quirky season. A bunch of new faces, old roleplayers, and the Huckleberry Hound-esque Randolph Morris pepper the roster, which has the chance to be a dangerous team. Let’s have a look at the ‘Cats and their schedule, shall we?

The cast:
1 Michael Porter G 6-2/180 Fr – “3-pt specialist” = “white”
3 Ramel Bradley G 6-2/176 Jr – Hustles, but sloppy
5 Derrick Jasper G 6-6/213 Fr – Exciting w/ long arms
10 Lukasz Obrzut C 7-0/270 Sr – Flashes of near-brilliance
13 Bobby Perry F 6-8/215 Sr – The glue
20 Jodie Meeks G 6-5/206 Fr – Young for his age
21 Perry Stevenson F 6-9/178 Fr – Beanpole
23 Sheray Thomas F 6-8/236 Sr – Can throw down at times
32 Joe Crawford G 6-5/211 Jr – Ridiculously streaky
33 Randolph Morris C 6-11/259 Jr – Show us something!
42 Mark Coury F 6-9/239 Fr – Who?
43 Jared Carter C 7-2/250 So – Hold your arms up

The plan:
11/22 at No. 11 Memphis – Another tough early test
12/2 at No. 2 North Carolina – Great chance for great upset
12/9 Indiana – Talk about scrubs…
12/16 at Louisville – Grrrrr
02/10 No. 1 Florida – Huge.
02/13 at No. 21 Tennessee – Vols suck
02/17 at No. 9 Alabama – Could be ugly
02/20 No. 6 LSU – Last game of the Death Stretch
03/4 at No. 1 Florida – Ugh.
