TEARS OF A CLOWN

Joker Phillips continues social media hijinks

Members of the Florida Gators coaching staff are continuing with their ridiculous tweets in an attempt to lure recruits to Gainesville. All of them are accompanied with the hashtag, #comeplayforthejoker. We’ve seen Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholsen’s Joker, we’ve seen a Kentucky Derby race horse, and even Harry Potter. Now we have the Jokers band. Sigh: From what we understand...

Spring Shocker: 51,000 show up for Kentucky spring game

(Photo Courtesy: Mark Stoops' Twitter) As recently as six months ago, had you asked most Kentucky fans how they planned to spend Saturday April 13, 2013, most would’ve likely responded by saying that if anything, they’d spend the early evening watching the Jordan Brand All-American high school basketball game.

He reappeared on our radar today after new Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops hired former Kentucky receiver Neal Brown as offensive coordinator and former offensive lineman John Schlarman as offensive line coach. Lorenzen...
