WALK OF SHAME: SPRING IS COMING

That handbag does NOT go with those shoes.

So it wasn't exactly a glorious weekend for readers of this blog who stayed in and watched basketball.  Vanderbilt got beat at home by Mighty Mouse and his merry band of ne'er-do-wells from South Carolina.  Tennessee absolutely crushed Mississippi State in Starkville.  Kentucky didn't exactly play inspired basketball on Senior + Patrick Patterson Day, but it was good enough to win.  Camillo Villegas didn't look totally ridiculous when he won the Honda Classic yesterday.  That doesn't have anything to do with Kentucky or Vanderbilt, but it's still true.  Link on:
  • Not sure if you've been following this at all (it's been going on for a while) but Ole Miss is trying to find something to replace the venerable Col. Reb as their mascot and the leader in the clubhouse is Admiral Ackbar.  You know, the fish-head guy from Star Wars who knows a trap when he sees one.  Taiwan (yes, the whole country) made a video to catch you up to speed if you happen to speak Chinese.

  • Patrick Patterson isn't coming back next year, I think that's pretty obvious.  Brian Bennett, who used to write for the Courier Journal but now blogs or something for ESPN, does a nice story on PPat's Kentucky career. [MONOLITH]
  • My buddy and yours, Douglas James, wants you to lay off A.J. Ogilvy - he's got feelings, too, you know. [VSL]
  • I'm from Louisville but I hate UofL so the whole "last game in Freedom Hall" thing was sort of important but in a snarky way for me.  The damn Quads beat Syracuse like a drum in the second half on Saturday, btw.  Anyway, here's a missive on the importance or something of that barn out off I-65.  I think it's spot on, but the comments are more than entertaining.

  • I know it's the most important part of basketball season, and the Reds are trying to kill me, but here's kind of an old post examining the Reds' offseason moves going into spring training.  Try to restrain yourselves. [RED REPORTER]
Have a nice Monday, people-weeples.
