Another Snowstorm- iPad, friends, books, UK game

Having a nice snowy Friday afternoon reading books and watching Some showtime on demand. Loving reading books on my iPad. Just finished a book that my girlfriend Rachel recommended. The book was called Enders Game. Not my typical pedigree of book- but still interesting. I enjoyed the use and misuse of technology. I've started a new book called Gideons War. It's written by an executive producer of 24. Hopefully the EP can write. So far its intriguing. I must say that I enjoy reading again. Thank you iPad. Hopefully friends from home can make their way to Lexington before I spend another 12 dollars on another book. Curse you written word. Irony?

Kentucky plays the evil game cocks of south carolina tomorrow afternoon. The cats have had a rough week after losing on the road to a BAD Alabama club. Kentucky looks to avenge a disastrous loss at South Carolina a year ago in which Kentucky entered the game sporting a fresh number one ranking.

This years South Carolina team is not as "talented" as last year. That certainly isn't saying much. Roles are certainly reversed this year as well. Kentucky is THE superior team in the SEC. However, in the SEC race, Kentucky is "second fiddle". The Cats are currently 3rd in the SEC East behind Florida and division leader... South Carolina.

South Carolina lost Devan Downey and seems to be looking for an adequate replacement. Bruce Ellington is the leading scorer for this years USC squad. He however lacks the punch that they had last year in one game against UK.

I guess I should quit tip-toeing around the real difference maker... The real difference maker is the home game environment at The Colonial Life Arena. South Carolina's sporting venues make it difficult on visiting teams. I recall during my years at UK, USC had HORRIBLE teams. And yet, like clockwork, we found a way to lose there. The Colonial Life Arena will certainly be amped up for this rematch. Sandstorm and the stupid Cock howl will be deafening for sure.

In the end, this is a bounce back game for Kentucky. Look for Jones to ignite the team and earn the new nickname "you f**king talented f**ker." Kentucky should roll in this game and look to close the gap on the other jokers in the SEC East.

Kentucky 67

South Carolina 55
