Grayson admitted on WTVQ last night that he made a mistake. He is like the rest of us. He has a great passion for this team and gets frustrated when we lose one like we did. He typed before he left his emotions calm down. He has apologized and I am sure learned a valuable lesson. Let's just hope that we don't have any more performances like this one that may cause us all to say things we will regret later. It is over now anyway.

I seriously doubt he intended to call Stewart out so publically.

Then I realized that UK's basketball team has been "bridled" all year under Mr. Gillispie. The team's effort in the second half against LSU was something we have not been allowed to see all year. Some have said this team has not enough talent, but I have disagreed all year. We have watched a sluggish, unorganized and predictable offense almost all year. We have enough young men who have shown talent this year and wondered why they disappear for such long periods of time. Coach G. has been pulling back on the bit keeping them with broken spirits and embarassing public insults. It is far past time to let these young men "spit the bit" and be allowed to play without the fear they have played under this entire year. I feel for all these young men, however the "coach?" has fielded a starting line-up that again had us battling back from double-digit deficits as we have most of the year. These boys are human-beings with feelings and have had to eat all our criticisms this year including my own stupid remarks. Hang in A.J., Josh, Kevin, Andre, Darius and all the young men involved in the program. Thank you! I noticed on a license plate yesterday about Kentucky’s Unbridled Spirtit.

Who was it who admitted that he made "a critical, critical, critical" mistake in the game. It of course was Coach G. When Mr. Grayson comes under fire from the public sometime in his political career, then let it be known who "threw the first stone." Keep your nose in Frankfort and try to help straighten out some political situations we face everyday. I am sure that Trey never made a "trey".

Shame on Trey Grayson for using his real identity to do what we all do daily. Yeah, only semi-anonymous internet trolls are allowed to blast players for playing poorly.

Between the fans and media all over the state repeatedly talking about how the players just aren't very good and Billy repeatedly telling everyone that will listen that his players just aren't very good, how do you think it feels to be a UK player right now?

It irritates me when anyone publicly criticizes individual athletes on the college or high school level (including coaches who say that they should not have subbed one player....we can figure out who he subbed when LSU made their comeback!) The game yesterday was not won or lost on one shot or one blown defensive assignment. You can go all the way back to the beginning of the game and Coach Billy G not starting his best line up. Good coaches make adjustments....look at Duke and Coach K making changes with his point guards this late in the season. He should not criticize a college basketball player.
