Vinny and Cole are back after being off last week. They start with the tragic passing of Kentucky D-lineman Nic Smith. There is no easy way to handle situations like this.

Daniel Reeves joined us to talk about his Big Blue Roulette app. He's come up wit...

We also talk about UK baseball struggling to get over the hump and a little bit about our pro teams. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The fellas look back at who did what in this past weekend's Blue-White game. It was vanilla, as expected, but there was still reason for optimism. Will Stein took time to reflect on the moment.

He hasn't been a head coach lo...

Kentucky's consistently inconsistent, roller coaster of a season has come to an end. Iowa State took Kentucky's best shot and then punched the Cats in the mouth and stifled them en route to pulling away for a relatively easy win. Injuries happened but they can't be leaned on as a crutch. There are lots of questions to be answered and lots of pressures building heading into year 3 for Mark Pope. Ch...
