Yes, we are a little crazy here, just as Coach Cal assures us -- but in a good way.(via ThrasherDave)
I admit I feel a tiny bit foolish posting this, but it's worth it for no other reason than the novelty of the thing, and it might be the last one we ever see done this way. Also it was requested, and I live to serve the Big Blue Nation.
You can find the live stream here at the UKAthletics.com website.
So enjoy!

"I Live To Serve".....
Sounds like one of my wedding vows
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
Brian Milam?
btcoop71 - February 15, 2012
beats me......of course they did let Jones do the color,
so who knows???…..Maybe he’s Brian The Intern……lol
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
I do love the UK infomercials so.....
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
This may clinch it: we Cat fans are weird.
Seriously. We’re watching a practice. A hyped practice, but a practice nonetheless.
I’m hugging you all in my mind ;-)
jords - February 15, 2012
I think a certain door disagrees with you
This was clinched long ago…
floundringaround - February 15, 2012
Makes me feel like I should be doing an
Archie and Edith Bunker Theme Song!!!!
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
At least in the case of the practice, there may actually be SOMETHING to watch
UK fans, myself included from time to time, were watching a DOOR. What sane person watches a DOOR?
floundringaround - February 15, 2012
This feels sooo the same.
Glenn Logan - February 15, 2012
No, there is no sense of dread right now.
:)
sweasyf - February 15, 2012
LOL
Touchee!
jeffy - February 15, 2012
You know why Mitchell is there.....
they took his practice court!!!…..lol
I still say they should let the women scrimmage the men…..some people would be surprised
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
Missed Opportunity
No questions of Mitchell re: 2-game losing streak and Vols blowout, poor journalism. But hey it’s a marketing program.
Wild Weasel - February 15, 2012
You could tell he was down
in his body language and voice.
kywineman - February 15, 2012
Coach Cal is playing it up
btcoop71 - February 15, 2012
Pre-Practice Instructions......lol
Only at UK……
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
I was just thinking that. This man never stops coaching.
jords - February 15, 2012
So you get a chance to ask Coach Cal a question
and the best you can do is “who was your favorite player to coach?”
Isn’t that like asking “who is your favorite child?” ;-)
SevenRings - February 15, 2012
Cal is a fan of rounding up: me suspects the fire marshal is righting down "Rupp holds 25k?"
jords - February 15, 2012
The man is headed for a political career.....lol
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
Playoffs?
btcoop71 - February 15, 2012
No DDMO questions?.....No asking about beating the zone???
Who are these people???? C’mon…..get some real questions in there!!!
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
How about "how do you think you'll be able to beat Syracuse's zone???"
jords - February 15, 2012
you know what he will say to that.....
are we playing Syracuse???…..lol
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
Barring a meltdown, I don't see that as an option.
That said, I want a crack at Izzo’s team this year. Might send me over the edge.
jords - February 15, 2012
Somebody ask him how we are going to position Miller to penetrate the zone.....
PLEASE!!!!!
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
Ok, this crowd is asleep.
jords - February 15, 2012

School Pride - February 15, 2012
OMG...
I so want to buy this now, thank you unsolicited post!!!
kentuckyrules - February 15, 2012
wow
floundringaround - February 15, 2012
Glenn.....don't remove this yet please......
no one will believe it if we remove it!!!!
I want people to see a spammer on this one!!!
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
I banned him, but I'll leave it.
Glenn Logan - February 15, 2012
lol....
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
This person just spammed every post on the front page....
floundringaround - February 15, 2012
Check his/her history
He has been busy on SBNation.
UKlvrBM - February 15, 2012
Why Remove It?
You have something else more important?
Wild Weasel - February 15, 2012
y'alls withdrawals eased upany ??
Bluehound - February 15, 2012
havent seen any action yet.....lol.....
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
We're getting spammed on the live practice thread?
btcoop71 - February 15, 2012
Now THAT is the mark of UK!!!!
We get spammers for practice threads!!!!
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
He spammed every thread, not just this one
SevenRings - February 15, 2012
Channel 27 doesnt have the big ugly Bobby Knight banners on the side!!!
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
Having his picture alongside Memorial is just so very wrong.
jords - February 15, 2012
Cal is letting them get away with some carries on those runouts
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
Nice To Hear From Strickland
Wonder when he’ll be reinstated to full assistant.
Wild Weasel - February 15, 2012
I'd love to hear from all the coaches. Cal has a great team of assistants.
jords - February 15, 2012
I honestly thought the rebounding drills would be harder....
I expected more beating and banging
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
Seen tougher ones in some quick camera cuts from previous practices. Thought there were some opportunities in this area after the Vandy game.
jords - February 15, 2012
I figured the would have the pads pounding people...
maybe thats later in practice
floundringaround - February 15, 2012
Cal forgot he was mic'd.....lol
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
haha
btcoop71 - February 15, 2012
that's 2!!!
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
Shit!
btcoop71 - February 15, 2012
I wonder if espn is going to put someone on the dump button after the next commercial...
floundringaround - February 15, 2012
I am watching local feed.....I guarantee you they will....lol
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
And he did it again.
jords - February 15, 2012
Cal just swore on national TV, heehee
jords - February 15, 2012
Not nearly as bad as
Norm “effing” Sloan.
kywineman - February 15, 2012
Dear ESPN: don't care how much you show his picture, I'll be roasted on a spit before I watch Bob Knight's show.
jords - February 15, 2012
and tarred and feathered......and I still won't open my eyes
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
Some mother is out there generating RoboCalls to FCC about now....
how could ESPN allow this language…..(sarcasm intended)
SevenRings - February 15, 2012
Or the NCAA.
kywineman - February 15, 2012
Passing Up Shots
Appears Coach encourages taking what’s open.
Wild Weasel - February 15, 2012
Eloy backed down davis quite easily...
floundringaround - February 15, 2012
Now THAT is coaching D
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
And they respond the right way.....
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
Sure Can See
How length and arm span matters.
Wild Weasel - February 15, 2012
I'll Watch With A Different Focus
And knowledge from now on.
Wild Weasel - February 15, 2012
I'm thinking the same thing
I’ll be yelling to get to the outside! and NO STEAL THE BALL not deny!
floundringaround - February 15, 2012
I am still confused by the taped X's on the floor. Assuming they're not to play HORSE
jords - February 15, 2012
Said something about the DDMO at the beginning
not sure if theyve used them or not
floundringaround - February 15, 2012
Late to the party
But I remember someone saying that they are used to help the players remember where to go in the offense to set up proper spacing for drives, rotations, passing lanes, etc.
wildcatfaninexile - February 15, 2012
GO 'CATS!!
kentuckyrules - February 15, 2012
Davis!!!
kentuckyrules - February 15, 2012
looks like your feed is about 10-15 seconds ahead of mine....
floundringaround - February 15, 2012
Yeah, I found for me, ESPN3 is ahead of DirecTV...
when I am watching both at home of course…
kentuckyrules - February 15, 2012
Harrow is a BEAST!!
kentuckyrules - February 15, 2012
Harrow: 5pts, 1 Asst
kentuckyrules - February 15, 2012
I havent been watching...what # is Harrow?
is he on the blue or white
SevenRings - February 15, 2012
Blue #12 I think...Teague is guarding him too...
kentuckyrules - February 15, 2012
thx
SevenRings - February 15, 2012
And Not Very Well
Wild Weasel - February 15, 2012
what fun
to be part of such a “crazy” group. I am imagining I see Coach as being proud he could get this done as are the team.
CAWebb - February 15, 2012
They could sell out Rupp for an intersquad game of Beer Pong :)
SevenRings - February 15, 2012
Heh. Probably.
Glenn Logan - February 15, 2012
Unfortunately its a little too early to have my customary open thread bourbon....
floundringaround - February 15, 2012
I am running
a later-tonight tab. sorta of an I owe me tab.
CAWebb - February 15, 2012
I have seen.....
Twany needing to step it up….
Harrow needing to be out on the court…..it is killing him not to be playing….
Kyle gets floor time because he listens, is very coachable and does what he is told
and MKG is the same in practice or a game…..!!!
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
Gae
Harrow is a future Ace in the hole. Wait till Cal springs him next year. Along with the returnees.
bigboyblue - February 15, 2012
He is one of those things that has me really excited about next year.....
I know we don’t know all the pieces, but stay or go for Marquis Teague, we will have a point guard next year who has two seasons running Cal’s offense, at least in practice.
Give Harrow some guys to feed in the paint, and we are going to be tough again next year.
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
Seriously
If Teague stays (and I think our run in March will determine if he stays/goes), then we will be in great hands (literally and figuratively) with the offense next year.
Teague or Harrow can run the show, or both if needed. It will be very interesting to see who stays and who we get for next year. The roster, as usual, will be quite different.
It’s a pipe dream but- imagine if we only lost Miller, Vargas and AD? How loaded would we be!?!
wildcatfaninexile - February 15, 2012
Don't do that....you made me tear up there for a minute.....!!!
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
MK-G From Perimeter
Better looking shot than earlier, perhaps because it’s practice.
Wild Weasel - February 15, 2012
If somebody throws that no-look lob in the next game I am going to crack up.....lol
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
For the record: Blue is 2-0 vs White this season...
kentuckyrules - February 15, 2012
Educational......and entertaining......not many people can say that about their practices.....
Greg Alan Edwards - February 15, 2012
Strickland
added a lot but he displayed one of my least favorite speech issues. Sad for such a grand role model.
CAWebb - February 15, 2012
Specifically?
Wild Weasel - February 15, 2012
Ok. That was awesome.
bob in bg - February 15, 2012
just watched
that Bob Knight show, he did a breakdown of all the top teams in the country, except one, guess which one it was ???…………
Bluehound - February 15, 2012
I can't imagine.
You’ve stumped me. Who cold Knight possibly dislike that much? :-)
Glenn Logan - February 15, 2012
Darned work, missed it
sweasyf - February 15, 2012
RATS...
missed it! I thought it was gonna be on tonight around 7PM ESTish. Not sure where I got that idea, but I missed it nonetheless.
Blueboy - February 15, 2012
Replay
I believe it is going to be replayed tomorrow night at some point. I would check espn3 or if you have insight cable, cn2.
wildcatfaninexile - February 15, 2012
February 15, 1984, Where Were You?
Relive it!
Wild Weasel - February 15, 2012
Oops, Make That 1994
Wild Weasel - February 15, 2012
amazing !!
it was a late game, I almost went to bed, so glad I didnt……thanks WW, great memories
Bluehound - February 15, 2012
That was just a glimpse of what was coming
Rick P was getting his pieces all lines up. Not too long after that evil game and just 2 before it all came togather. It’s nice to see that a lot of the guys in the mardi-gras miracle got that banner later.
Hopefully that’s the same as Wall and Boogie, they were just a couple years too early.
sweasyf - February 15, 2012
I have that on video cassette.
Glenn Logan - February 16, 2012
Me too.
I have no idea if it will even play though.
a2d2 - February 16, 2012
I was in college and had planned on going to watch a movie with my roommate
and, for whatever reason, decided to stay home and watch that game. He went to the movie and when he got back, did not believe me that UK was down 30 or so at the time. I never believed UK would come all the back, even when they got it down to 10 or so.
What a game!!
(btw, I have no idea what the movie was to this day)
SevenRings - February 15, 2012
I missed it. So sad.
Sounds like fun. Anyone know where there is a rebroadcast available?
