One-run games weren't kind to Kentucky baseball. We saw it again in the regionals against West Virginia. The way the season ended stung and will sting for a while. But the Cats had a solid season and achieved a lot overall. They have positioned themselves nicely for next year if they play their cards right.
Kentucky football has us all feeling kind of glum. Maybe they can prove us wrong. Plus we talk Tom Thibodeau and the Knicks. We get some love from Front Porch Sports. Check out our Million Podcast rankings.
