The University of Kentucky dominated last night’s draft.  There’s no other way to say it.  The UK Wildcats sent a record-tying six players into the NBA last night, and that’s not all.  UK also sent the top two picks into the NBA, making this the first time in NBA draft history that the top two players in the draft came from the same university in the same year.  Say what you want to about John Calipari, he knows what he’s doing when it comes to the NBA and picking the top talent.  Here’s the complete 2012-13 NBA Draft order for your perusal.

As a Kentucky fan, I’m proud of my Wildcats for winning the NCAA title and backing that up by filling the NBA with talent.  Anthony Davis (1, New Orleans Hornets) and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (2, Charlotte Bobcats) are joined by Terrence Jones (18, Houston Rockets), Marquis Teague (29, Chicago Bulls), Doron Lamb (42, Milwaukee Bucks), and Darius Miller (46, Hornets).  Joining Davis and Miller in New Orleans is the 10th pick, Duke star Austin Rivers.  If any team can win a draft, it would be Charlotte, who appears to have cleaned up.

Last year, UK got 4 players drafted; in 2010, UK sent 5 players into the NBA.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
