Hello, Internet! Here is a picture of new UK 2008 Recruit Josh Harrellson, provided by the sensuous Matt Jones:

Josh Harrellson is STRONG like UKRAINE!

I’m sure some Wildcat Fans are clinching their assholes as we speak. We’ll have the usual overcritical analysis towards Harrellson for taking the picture and towards Jones for posting the picture. And we’ll have the typical “gaaaay” reaction from Wildcat fans and rivals.

The latter remark — that throwaway semi-offensive exclamation that my young generation throws around without remorse — makes me giggle. After all, a majority of Wildcat fans are currently extremely focused on the decisions and fitness of young men aged 15 through 20. We encourage and pay older men who specialize in watching these young athletes run, and evaluate their physicality. We celebrate the young man’s commitment to our cause, and look forward to seeing the young man in our clothing.

Oh, right! We’re not interested in these young men sexually. Whew! I was a little worried there.

Anyhoo, Josh’s picture is one of many that have gotten sucked off his Facebook or MySpace account. (Honestly, I’m not sure which.) I’m not entirely for sure if Josh cares that Matt Jones is posting these goofy photos. Earlier today, Matt wrote a diatribe about how he’s not looking to dive too deeply into the lives of potential and committed recruits:

While I understand the desire to have these interviews, after speaking with some families of players who actually came to Kentucky, I think the recruiting gurus (myself included in the past) go a bit overboard with them. While the families seem not to mind some interviews, the UK internet media takes it too far and every family I spoke with this season said it became a hassle quickly. Because of that, I have decided not to contribute to that mess of interviews any more than I have to for the radio show and this site. I think that is best for those families involved and while it may lead to a bit less news from this particular site, if all followed suit, it also leads to a lot less hassle for the players and their parents.

Note: Bold text above originally in Matt’s article.

So if Josh is okay for these pictures to be out and about, then I feel okay sharing in the joy that the picture displays. A young man — who’s led a blessed life as an athlete good enough to advance his way into a major basketball program — that is also a young man who’s blessed to have friends. He’s making a goofy photo that most young adults his age put up on the Internet or within a social networking site like Facebook. Just because now that he’s a Wildcat makes the photo any more or less shameful, stupid, or gay.

(For the record: Photo of you smiling goofy with your buddy is just fine, if you’re fine with the Internet never forgetting. Photos of you jumping off a frat house balcony into a pool? A little less fine. Not a wise way to show your team’s fanbase that, even though you are so HARD-WORKING and DEDICATED to basketball, you blow off steam like some other risk-taking young adults your age.)

However I’m sure Wildcat fans would prefer pictures — and video, now that we’ve broadband-ed up in the Bluegrass State and beyond — of Josh not at play, but at work. Springing up towards the basket in lay-up drills. Diving at loose balls. Draining each and every jumper.

Oh yeah, that’s the stuff.

(Time for a “Fake Gimel Gets Real” Moment. If you can’t tell that I’m working common homosexual prejudices for humor’s sake, and humor’s sake alone, then you may want to find another blog to read. All due respect is given to Wildcat fans of all sexual orientations, Josh & Matt.)

Drat! And Double Drat! Hee hee hee hee!

A few weeks ago, I mentioned the following over at the now-mega-modernized ASoB:

Finally, a point of discussion for you Wildcat faithful. From all accounts, the new Barnstorming Event is going along swimmingly. From what little I’ve gathered, Louisville doesn’t offer the same kind of fare-the-well tour for its basketball seniors. Which is kinda sad; who wouldn’t want to boo David Padgett one last time, for old times sake?

Would it be too much to ask to try and schedule a Barnstorming event that included the UL players? You could have it held in Louisville, and have the old foes battle back and forth for a half. Then bring in the regional all-stars and combine the UK and UL teams. (Now that’s a scary thought, huh?)

And why limit it to just Louisville players? How about bringing in Courtney Lee and the rest of the great WKU seniors for a stop near Bowling Green? That would make each event unique for the region and promote the state of Kentucky as the state that loves basketball. I think the Barnstorming basketball spotlight is big enough to share with all our in-state players.

The very few comments I received concerning opening up the Barnstorming event to non-UK players were negative. One of the comments mentioned that Louisville or other players shouldn’t be in an event that is promoting the University of Kentucky. But, in actuality, the Barnstorming tour really has nothing to do officially with the University. From C-J’s Brett Dawson:

If Bradley and Crawford had their way, current Cats would be making the trip as well. NCAA rules prohibit that — UK can’t be involved in any official capacity — but Bradley and Crawford said the perspective they’ve gleaned through the barnstorming tour would serve any player well.

In all truthfulness, this Barnstorming fare-thee-well tour is a good way to let former players like Joe and Ramel to make a little money. There’s no harm in that. After cheering for them for 4 years, I think I lot of us consider them part of the Wildcat family. And like real families, you always have to send even the most distantly-related graduating seniors some sort of gift. I mean, what will your Momma think if she heard you didn’t help the family?

I would pay money to see Woo defend Louisville’s David Padgett. (Remember, Woo claimed to own Louisville during his tenure at UK!) I’m sure there would be tons of Louisville fans who would pay to see their senior heroes get together for one last stab at the UK Seniors.

I’m not Matt Jones, who’s helping run the event. But if I was, and if I made the UK/UL Barnstorming Brew-ha-ha, I would force the autograph session to include UK and UL players. So everybody gets a few autographs they wish they could Windex off. That would be delightfully EEEE-vil!

Whoops! Are we back? Possibly. Sorry for the lack of updates, but some real life issues benched me for the remainder of Billy: Year One.

When the season’s over, I suppose its time to pick up the old battles. This weeks entertainment: Jerry “Master Blaster” Tipton vs. “Mad” Marc Maggard! Remember no deals can be broken!

This is battle numero 57 (approximately) in the Tipton is Trying to Hurt UK Fan Wars. This time, Jerry interviewed the parents of our new recruits Vinny Zollo and Michael Avery. In follow-up interviews conducted by Kentucky Ink’s Marc Maggard, the parents admit feeling uncomfortable with some of Tipton’s questions, which Marc labels in the shows’ notes that Tipton exposes his anti-UK feelings.

The ire of the Wildcat Nation was awoken, which prompted Lexington Herald-Leader Editor Linda Austin to blog about an investigation into Tipton’s interviews. Tru at A Sea of Blue wrote up what he thought of the whole deal, which caused Marc to post his displeasure in the Kentucky Ink forums on Tru’s thoughts. (Remember, Tru has called Tipton a “Negative Ninny” in the past.)

Editor Austin reviewed Tipton’s notes and a recording of his call with Mr. Howard Avery (Michael’s father), and stated that Tipton asked professional and worthy questions in those interviews. But what about the “Bigger Ass” statement that was allegedly said? In her interview with Maggard, Zollo’s mother (Robin Curry) either quoted or paraphrased — its not clear in the interview — an example of Tipton’s negative questioning:

Your son is leaving one school because his coach is an ass, but he going to play for Gillispie, who is a bigger ass, how are you going to deal with that?

Linda Austin addressed that question in her blog post:

After Mrs. Curry mentioned her concerns about the methods of her son’s high school coach, Jerry asked her about Coach Gillispie’s widely reported “tough love” style of coaching.

Where’s the ass! The Wildcat Nation DEMANDS TO KNOW!!! Maybe Editor Austin was not privy to the ass. She writes, “I went through Jerry’s notes of his conversation with Robyn Curry, mother of recruit Vinny Zollo, question by question.” Which means Jerry didn’t provide or/and didn’t have a recording of his interview with Mrs. Curry.

Honestly, I don’t blame Mrs. Curry or Mr. Avery for feeling uncomfortable with some of Jerry’s questions; their sons are just 15! I would want to protect my young son from the pressures exerted by the media and a rabid fanbase such as ours. “Look at Little Fake Gimel, you’re SHOOTING THE BALL WRONG! GO BREAK YOUR NOSE LIKE YOUR DADDY!”

But I honestly don’t think anything a reporter or interviewer asks should be concerned about the comfort level of the interviewee. If we get into making rules what can and cannot be asked, we are not living in a Free Speech society — and I’m sure some people feel like we’re already there. I don’t subscribe to the “Sports Journalism should be turned into Entertainment Journalism” that some folks seem to be pushing. I believe strongly that there should be serious journalism coverage of sports programs, and there should be pro-program writing, fan writing, and a place to put up pictures of athletes doing dumb things in public.

I do not put much faith in Austin’s investigation. Austin was unable to access the full transcript of Tipton’s call with Mrs. Curry, and she cannot give us any assurance that Tipton’s questioning was proper. And to be quite honest, comparing a college coach to a high-school coach as a “Bigger Ass” crosses a line of journalistic objectivity, regardless of context. However, as mentioned above, I am not for sure if Mrs. Curry quoted Tipton calling Gillispie a “Bigger Ass”, or if she paraphrased his question and added the language. Without clarification, we have no proof that Tipton crossed the line.

Outside of the “Bigger Ass”, Mrs. Curry and Mr. Avery did not mention anything that I felt was inappropriate questions for a parent of a 15-year-old child who verbally committed to UK. In the Kentucky Ink forums, Maggard points to Tipton’s previous negative writing and several off-the-record comments he has from other persons. I agree that Tipton has been caught in Negative Ninny mode once too often in the past. Because of that, he will forever be labeled by many in the Big Blue Nation as “the UK Beat Reporter who dislikes UK/Gillispie/winning basketball/etc.”

But I cannot blindly accept Maggard’s claim of more “off-the-record” information as the catalyst that Tipton has somehow turned into “UK Enemy #1″. I don’t see what Jerry Tipton could write or say that would adversely affect a student’s decision to attend UK. Maggard is clearly the expert in recruiting, but he has not claimed that Tipton’s writing has swayed a recruit away from choosing Kentucky. So I’m not for sure how Tipton is an enemy of anything.

Also, Maggard is wanting us to believe him and his “off-the-record” sources. I deeply respect what Maggard does at Kentucky Ink — and a little envious, since he focuses the majority of his life on Kentucky Basketball and gets paid for it. I admit that he has more inside information than I do. (~~At least until I install the wireless web cam inside the men’s practice gym.~~ Pay no attention to the man behind the padding!)

However, until his information can be confirmed and on-record, its value holds nothing for me. I took Seth Davis to task for publishing an anonymous rumor about Patrick Patterson considering leaving for the NBA. In this day and age of Internet rumormongering and one-off anonymous reporting, I refuse to believe any off-the-record comment until it is on-record.

And until Tipton does something on-record that betrays his supposed disloyalty, there is no chance of any fan petition or advertiser boycott will work. But hopefully this issue provided the Herald-Leader with discussion on what stories involving new recruits — especially those as young as Zollo and Avery — should entail.

More may be revealed by Mad Marc in the future. Will it be enough to conquer Master Blaster? And why are we worried about the supposed bias of Jerry Tipton instead of celebrating our early recruiting victories? Are we all getting so sick of the “Gillispie spotted in my kid’s preschool” jokes that we must resort to watching this battle in the Thunderdome?

Update May 12th:If Marc is “Mad”, then I’m just plain dumb. I accidentally misspelled his last name as “Maggart”, which was not intentional nor meant as any disrespect. All the misspelling seem to be corrected now. Sorry, Marc!

In his latest column, SI.com’s Seth Davis drops this little nugget:

I hate to disappoint Kentucky fans, who have every reason to be excited about their team’s run of eight wins in its last nine games, but I’m hearing Patrick Patterson is seriously considering turning pro.

O RLY?

Honestly, I wouldn’t blame Patrick for going pro. He’s performing miracles in the paint despite teams double and triple-teaming him. And I’m not mad that Seth Davis wanting to share what he hears from anonymous sources; I am pissed that all he wrote was one little sentence about it, without any evidence of fact-checking presented to the reader.

At one time in my life, I was an editorial editor for the Kentucky Kernel. They needed somebody to manage the editorial page — letters to the editors, opinion columns, the Kernel’s official Editorial piece, etc. The other sections of the paper had to maintain a high level of fact-checking and cite sources.

Honestly, I don’t understand what’s allowed for anonymous sourcing in professional journalism. I wasn’t a journalism major and I never took a journalism class. It was my understanding from my working experience at the Kernel that the information from an anonymous source needs to be confirmed from more sources. It seems to me that you have to give your anonymous source a little check — and you need to inform your reader of your check.

Maybe Seth Davis did his check. But hell if we know. All we know is that he expects us to trust him with what he’s hearing. Leaving out some of the details of his fact-checking — not including a follow-up call with Patrick Patterson himself — means that Davis decided to print what he’s hearing unchecked.

Instead, Seth Davis expects us to trust him. But its not his job to be trusted! Its his job to take what he’s hearing, question the validity of it, and present it as factually-based, incorrect, or unmentionable. That is what I thought the professional media — those who are supposedly better than blogs — are supposed to do.

I really hate this kind of shit reporting. Its no better than message board posters reporting rumors about Coach Gillispie’s off-court behavior. The only difference is that Seth Davis gets paid to tell us what he thinks about basketball, and to report basketball news. And it appears he’s not fulfilling his job duties by reporting to his readers the validity of his sources.

Of course, since I’m a blogger, my standards are different. So believe me when I say that I’m hearing Seth Davis just decided to jump on the “Patterson is Leaving” bandwagon early with this comment. My sources tell me that if he’s wrong, nobody but a few Internet trolls will remember; but if he’s right, he can say, “as I first reported in February…” until he’s blue in the face.

Seth, when you decide to present to your readers a fact check on your Patterson leaving rumor, I’ll reveal my sources that says your full of shit. Deal?

Dusty Mills is gone. That much we know for certain. The devil’s in the details, though.

In normal cases, a player asked to leave or who requests a transfer shows grace publicly. I can understand Dusty wanting to tell his side of the story. But look at the wording Dusty used in Jerry Tipton’s article:

“He bashed on me pretty much,” Mills said. …

“It was like he had a total power trip on me,” the walk-on said. “Instead of explaining things, he decided to use intimidation. ‘You’re below me. This is how things are going to be.’ ” …

“He cut me off and just went berserk,” Mills said. “He cussed me out. Just basically said he didn’t care what I had to say. Said he was sick of me. That was a quote. He actually said he was sick of me.”

Why does Dusty want to share this kind of information with us? To make Billy look bad, of course. Dusty’s statements is a parting shot, an airing of dirty laundry. It reminds me of Rashaad Carruth fighting with Tubby through the media. That worked well for Rashaad, Tubby and the whole team that year.

This act of revenge further illustrates the disconnect — and the resulting problems from the disconnect — between our coach and the media/fanbase. Here is the entirety of Gillispie’s comments in Tipton’s article:

After UK beat Georgia Tuesday night, Gillispie said he gave Mills that chance. “They all get chances,” the UK coach said. “He (Mills) was a real good member of the team for a little bit.” Gillispie denied using profanity in meeting with Mills.

Tru at ASeaofBlue.com is quite upset by Tipton’s article, which focuses heavily on Dusty Mill’s interview concerning his release. After receiving confirmation that Tipton researched both sides of the story, Tru still sees Billy as a bully:

I’m all about supporting our coach, but the latin proverb goes, “Qui tacet consentire videtur.” He who is silent is understood to consent.

I can’t believe this is all Billy had to say, given that Tipton later states, “Gillispie invited Mills to tell reporters of the meeting, Mills said.” It seems to me that Billy didn’t expect Dusty to give vivid allegations to Mr. Tipton; otherwise Billy would have given Tipton a more through response. I wonder if Dusty threatened to go to the media about his dismissal and the coach didn’t take the threat seriously. Or either Tipton was holding back with the details of what he learned from Dusty (which is bad journalism ethics), or Billy didn’t want to address it publicly (which is bad media management).

Whatever the case, Coach should take a minute and address Dusty’s comments this week. An issue with a walk-on doesn’t go away in this day and age; especially with a fanbase that is obsessively fanatical in their devotion to the program. Not fully commenting on a raised issue only leads to speculation & distrust.

This, like the Oklahoma State rumors, is just another crazy curve in this wild winding road of a basketball season.

I have been informed that a shadowy network of ex-CIA spies have been following Coach Gillispie’s every move. They have sent me notes on what they have seen, which I have added to the map below.

No time for a column proper — I hate my job — but I wanted to record some of the comments I’ve made over this whole Billy Reed article fiasco that Tru at A Sea of Blue has already addressed. First up, my comment I left on Billy Reed’s blog (which was awaiting moderation due to a hyperlink, I suppose):

Mr. Reed, you’re an accomplished journalist. Nobody can argue that. Your blog has been around for a while, so I take it you’re familiar with the way blogs work. I’m no dummy, either, so let’s call this post exactly what it is; flamebait.

Surely somebody with your journalism history, writing stories the past 40+ years, would not base a whole column about “rumors” which you cannot directly address. If you had a source, even an “anonymous” source, you would have detailed EXACTLY what Billy Gillispie is accused of doing.

Even your details — not taking Van Florence on away games — seem sketchy. Who’s asked UKAA or Van about this? Shouldn’t that be covered before publishing with the detail? I never had a journalism class, but isn’t basing your opinion in truth key in writing a solid column?

So there’s no way you actually believe what you just wrote. I take it you’re trolling for the Big Blue crazies that you read/hear about on catspause.com. Is this a chapter of your latest book that tries to rightly define the UK fanbase? Or were you just looking for shits and giggles?

Whatever the reason, you can’t fool me. This isn’t a Billy Reed column proper.

I forgot to add that another possibility is that Billy Reed is intentionally proving Stephen A. Smith’s missive that blogging causes “a total disregard, a level of wrecklessness” in sports reporting.

Meanwhile, ever anxious to stick it to the Wildcat Basketball fans, my good buddy GatorPilot stated Patrick Patterson made the wrong choice in coming to Kentucky. I think overall GatorPilot got what he wanted — a riled up Tru and Kentucky Fanbase, and a clever reference to the Indiana Jones movie. I appreciate the comedy combo he unleashed. But in the comments, I wanted to remind him of something:

What you Gator guys forget is that Kentuckians favor a good story over the truth. And they favor more being tied to the story — “my brother’s roommate at the game said,” “my cousin who works at Merrick Inn saw,” “my lawyer who knows Mitch had dinner,” etc. This has been going on for ages; its part of our culture. The Internet makes it public outside of the Bluegrass State.

So whenever I hear things like “Billy Donovan’s wife was horse-farm hunting in Lexington in March”, I laugh about it. Actually, it was several Billy Donovan rumors that completely convinced me that any rumor involving UK Basketball is no less than 75% full of shit.

In relation to all this, I agree with Chris at Intentional Foul: “Either show and prove or just keep quiet. Even the sports bloggers of the world seem to understand this.” (Well, except the sports bloggers who are fans of the opposition, of course.) But I would take it a step further.

Saying “my brother heard” or “my cousin saw” doesn’t count anymore. Bring out the proof, or shut the hell up.

Show me the videos of Gillispie drunk off his rocker getting into a car to drive home. Show me pictures of Gillispie near Lexington Police Chief Anthany Beatty the night that allegedly Beatty called a squad car for Gillispie to either take the coach home or to jail. Let me see the raunchy text messages Gillispie allegedly sent to a hotel employee. Let me see pictures of Gillispie with his 19-year-old girlfriend, that aren’t obviously photoshopped or from some social event.

This is a call for truth, not vandalism or paparazzi-type misery. If he’s truly this bad, it will be blatently obvious and recorded with something other than a “They Say” story. Besides, if any of these events were true, it would be best to get them right out in the open. If Gillispie’s poor conduct was outed, he would be forced to deal with the consequences of his conduct. Then we can all move forward.

Kentucky fans, bring the shame or stop talking about it. Stop feeding into the nonsense that you heard from whoever or wherever on the Internet. Until I start seeing proof, I call bullshit on every story.

Of course, I suppose nobody would be talking rumors so loudly if the team was winning instead of losing. I just checked the Houston score on ESPN Gamecast. *sigh*

So the ESPN/USA Today Preseason Top 25 Poll is out. Honestly I didn’t expect us to make the top 25, but I think the Billy Gillispie buzz has pushed us in to #22. That’s a nice gift for a young, talented team with a new coach.

However, the Wildcats are ranked #8 in another important list — the EA Sports NCAA March Madness 08 Top 25 teams. How’s they come up with that high of a ranking? From the sportsgamer.com article:

“We worked more closely with Doug Gottlieb and ESPN this year to create ratings that we believe accurately reflect the college basketball landscape,” said NCAA March Madness 08 producer Sean O’Brien. “Combining our resources with the expertise of the analysts at ESPN has helped us to deliver a more authentic experience while playing NCAA March Madness 08 .”

The EA SPORTS Top 25 ignores current injuries to players and projects all players on all teams to be healthy and performing up to the expectations of the experts consulted when NCAA March Madness 08 ships to stores across the country December 18, 2007.

My guess is our sophomores and freshmen are rated very high in-game, which leads to a high overall score. Plus, having Virtual Derrick Jasper completely healthy helps too.

Another interesting tidbit: EA Sports is releasing a downloadable demo that features Kentucky versus #6 Louisville. That’s awesome; it speaks volumes of how Kentucky and Louisville is still recognized on a national level when it comes to college basketball. I’m not for sure if you can get Virtual Rick Pitino to make an ultimatum about Virtual Derrick Caracter’s weight in the demo; that may be a full-game feature. If you have a PS3 or Xbox 360, you can download the demo in the appropriate places.

Many thanks to Mike at Card Chronicle for the March Madness 08 news.

Jerry Tipton proved that he still has some tricks up his sleeve and doesn’t need message boards or “the Google” by out-scooping all the young whippersnappers and reporting the Tyler Zeller will be visiting campus today. Matt Jones not to be outdone immediately gets on the phone and has an interview with the kid only hours later. Amazing. In the interview Tyler says that “After I had a good tournament down in Texas, Coach Gillispie called me up and offered me a scholarship.”

One thing that cracks me up is how Jerry Tipton always gets the interview with the recruits parents. Makes you wonder if the kid answered the phone would he say, “Hello Tyler, this is Jerry Tipton with the Lexington Hearld-Leader. Is your mom or dad around?”. You know that’s had to have happened at least once.

I wonder what Jerry Tipton thinks about Matt and Kentucky Sports Radio or The Cat’s Pause for that matter. I bet I could guess.

By the way, the auction I mentioned in the last post closed for $81. If that didn’t interest you, how about a nice coffee table sized section.

Billy, I think its time for you to drop your unlimited cell phone data plan:

An NCAA committee has approved a measure banning the use of text messaging in recruiting, potentially closing a loophole that has been used by coaches since the technology became widespread.
…
“It’s intruding on their lives and creating inappropriate relationships with coaches. If you don’t stop it now, what roads are you going to have to cross later on?” Anna Chappell, chairwoman of the Division I Student-Athletic Advisory Council and a former basketball player at Arizona, told the committee. “If you want to ‘keep up with the times’ and ‘keep up to speed with student-athletes,’ you forget that student-athletes as a whole said they wanted the elimination of text-messaging.”

Would somebody PLEASE think of the student-athletes!

This short blurb didn’t mention anything about using the Internets for Coach/Recruit communications. So I guess Billy can still add Pat Patterson to Billy’s MySpace page. But wait, which page is the real Billy Clyde: this one, which appears to be his old myspace site where the Aggies fans went crazy; or this one, which is set to private and is “for friends, networking”?

Hmmmm, I’m no rocket scientist, but I wonder if they could BOTH be Billy’s accounts? At any rate, I’m pretty sure that Billy won’t be adding me as a friend, since I’m no longer academically eligible and have a 1-inch vertical.

Fire Billy?
