LEX18′s Alan Cutler Chases Gillispie
I have struggled with Billy Gillispie since he came on board. I do believe that his departure will ultimately be the best thing for the University of Kentucky and for Gillipsie. But, the man is not a criminal and should not be treated as he was today when WLEX-18′s Alan Cutler and WHAS-11′s Mark Herbert [...]
Not So Obvious Kentucky Wildcat Coaching Candidates

The Pinkie Discusses the Billy Gillispie Situation: Fired, Quitting, or Staying?
Guy: Is Billy Clyde getting fired, when’s it happening, and who’s next? I say yes, Friday, and Billy Donovan, even though I would rather go after Anthony Grant. Wink: Yeah, I think it will be mutual. They will split the buyout. I’m not a Donovan guy. His teams play no defense and play as soft [...]
Ole’ Dude Lip Synchs the Geico Song

Pinkies Up!!! Norm Peterson Edition
Kentucky Sports Radio hates Luke Harangody for some reason. At the Pinkie we just refer to him as Cheers’ Norm Peterson and respect the fact that he is somehow really, really good.

The Pinkie Previews: NIT Quarterfinals (4) Kentucky at (2) Notre Dame
When teams enter the season with high expectations, as both UK and Notre Dame did, it is difficult to accept the realization at the end of the year that your team did not live up to it’s potential and are therefore relegated to playing in the NIT. But, that is the case for both Billy Gillispie’s [...]

Should College Basketball Model their Playoff System after the BCS?

“I Love College” by Asher Roth
You have probably heard this song on the radio. But, have you seen the man’s face who sings it? Probably not what you expected. Anyways, it’s kind of a sweet song and the Pinkie is about much more than just hoops action and hot chicks. So check out Asher Roth’s “I Love College”.
The Pinkie Previews: N.I.T. 2nd Round – (4)Kentucky at (1)Creighton
Any thoughts that this Kentucky team might not be amped up and ready to play in the NIT were put to rest with last Monday’s 70-60 victory over the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels. Patrick Patterson simply proved to be too much for the undersized Rebels and despite their late run the Cats played their best overall [...]
