We review everything you need to know about the UK Football Blue-White Scrimmage. Spoiler Alert: it won't take long. We give a first hand account of the Makers Mark Bottle Signing at Keeneland, a tradition unlike any other. The SEC Basketball coaching carousel takes a couple of interesting turns. The Reds should be better than they are, especially after finding a diamond in the rough. A Dodger with local ties isn't getting the credit for 2018 that he deserves,. The NBA Playoffs continue unchanged, even after the injury to DeMarcus Cousins. A former Red starts earning his money, almost. And we have an MLB pick for Wednesday night, fading a pitcher who has seen much better days.

The National Championship game is Monday night. What incredible timing for John Calipari's Lifetime Contract announcement! Why BBN should learn by now not to complain when freshman players turn pro. When your current head coach tells the media he doesn't know where you're playing next season, it's a safe bet you're not playing on that coach's team. The Reds are up to their old tricks. Further proof that every man should put away his childish things. Fun stories with potential new Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville. And we look to finish off our documented 18-6 ATS record in the NCAA Tournament in style by picking the Virginia vs. Texas Tech loser leave town match.

BBN doesn't realize it yet, but Kentucky won another SEC regular season championship over the weekend. Does UK have to win the SEC Tournament this week to get a 1-seed? The eternal struggle of basketball, money, and politics that is the NCAA Tournament seeding process will reveal quite a bit next week. Now that the season is over, how could you have made money on the UK basketball roller coaster this season? Who was our SEC Team of the Year? If Duke gets special treatment for losing Zion Williamson, should Kentucky get at least something for Reid Travis? Why Murray State is nothing like the teams that won tournament games earlier this decade. The regular season ends with several surprises in the Power 5 standings that few people saw last fall. Antonio Brown gets paid. And we pick the winners of 3 major conference tournaments this week, including the big SEC Tournament in Nashville.

Did Kentucky's loss to Tennessee cost them the SEC Championship AND a 1-seed? How we can tell a lot about your personality by who you're picking to win the NCAA Tournament. The age old debate is back: mediocre Power 5 teams or dominant small conference teams? Kentucky Spring Football Practice begins in the snow, but we still have one question that still needs answering. The NFL Combine creates a new hero. We get to reference Rosie Ruiz, one of our favorite sports figures ever. Why you should always pay your football debts. Bryce Harper gets a raw deal from his egotistical agent.

We will take 3 teams (none of them named Kentucky), and give you the other 350 teams. Tennessee basketball: in a temporary slump? Or a fraud finally coming to light? That question will be answered on Saturday. John Calipari makes a Freudian slip that he might regret. Rick Pitino is back! Leave the Ole Miss kids alone. Innocent or not, there are some things an announcer simply can't say. The Reds are an early wiseguy favorite. How does an NBA coach know when his days are numbered? And we pick the Arkansas-Kentucky game against the spread, and have an unranked team that will take down a ranked team in midweek college basketball.
Monday Feb 18, 2019
Monday Feb 18, 2019
Kentucky's win over Tennessee was a big deal. But is Tennessee for real, or a product of a fraudulent schedule for the last 2 months? We spell out how Kentucky has virtually no shot of winning the SEC regular season championship, and LSU is somehow the frontrunner even with their lame t-shirts. Tyler Herro should keep his big trap shut. Do you really think the kid that hit the shot for 19K got paid more than a UK basketball player? The Reds are already ready for the season. A former WWE champ loses to a local woman. Colin Kaepernick gets the win he deserves from a league scared of being exposed. Matt Kuchar is exposed as Cheap Pete. And we have a midweek unranked team that will take down a highly ranked team in college basketball this week.

Vandy has shown up (AKA covered the spread) vs. Kentucky and Tennessee already this season. Can they do it again Tuesday night against the Cats? Before BBN celebrates the Kansas win more, they should realize this is the worst Jayhawk team in 15 years. UK basketball finally crosses the Mendoza Line for the season. Anthony Davis makes his demands. We relive our memories of the last Super Bowl in Atlanta. The Pro Bowl stinks. Why the Atlanta Hawks should be ashamed of themselves. And we have 3 unranked teams that will defeat ranked teams in midweek games this week.
Monday Jan 14, 2019

Kentucky Basketball is currently A Tale Of Two Cities: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Will Calipari's road struggles continue Tuesday night at Georgia? History says, bet on it!

We have our midseason College Basketball Team and Coach of the Year, and it's not even close in the desert. Nick Saban finds a fall guy.

Sunday Jan 06, 2019

We channel our inner Bobby Heenan and Mr. Perfect to discuss John Calipari's long term road woes in the SEC, and we have the numbers to prove his struggles. The Cats look to get healthy at home against Texas A&M on Tuesday night, but how do we profit from it? The UK football team completes their Dream Season, but just think what they would have been with a mediocre quarterback. The fun is over, and now the BBN has unrealistic expectations after losing 2 of the best players in school history. Shocking! We look at the Alabama vs. Clemson National Championship Game. And we have FOUR midweek college basketball upsets of unranked or lower ranked teams taking down the big boys, including one that Jamaal Magliore will join us in celebrating.

BBN rejoices in the UK Football Dream Season. But can we really call it a Dream Season when they lose investors cash? The 7-game UK Basketball Cupcake Run is in its final week, and we can only say "We Told Ya So" so many times. The NET ratings accomplish exactly what the NCAA wanted: discussion, good or bad. Whether you realize it or not, there's only 7 college football games remaining, including the playoffs. The Bengals are still the Bengals. Alex Trebek gets another dig in on a professional sports team. And we have 3 unranked underdog David's looking to come up big against ranked Goliath's for Tuesday night in college basketball.
Monday Nov 12, 2018
Monday Nov 12, 2018
So much for that UK Football Dream Season, as the window closes on the SEC East opportunity before the BBN's very eyes. Kentucky Basketball Cupcake Games will break you in November, and we have the data to prove it. Who has been the best/worst UK hoopster so far? The Bengals lost again, but gained the DC of the best defense of all time? A bad SEC football weekend coming up, Duke is #1, Anthony Davis might be on the move, and we have an unranked college basketball team that will defeat a ranked team Wednesday night.

Friday Oct 26, 2018

UK vs. Missouri takes a page from Charles Dickens: A Tale Of Two Quarterbacks. If Kentucky plays Transylvania in a forest, and there's no betting line, does it make a sound? Are the Bengals as bad as they looked last Sunday night in Kansas City? The Dodgers look to win Game 3 in LA. And of course, we use analysis and data to make our Mac Daddy Stogie football picks for the weekend.
