Halloween Scare

Halloween is almost here, and the Kentucky football and basketball teams have a right to be scared. Injuries are piling up for both squads at an alarming rate. The football team takes on Mississippi State this weekend - a game that UK should win. However, this weekend is not going to be an easy victory. With a healthy roster, the Cats would send the Bulldogs back to Starkvegas with their hide red from a good Wildcat spanking. Take away Keenan Burton, Rafael Little, Tony Dixon, Micah Jones, Paul Warford, and things might be a little to close for comfort. Keep in mind, this is a Mississippi State team that beat Auburn on the road.

On the basketball front, things look even worse. Derrick Jasper is currently moving backwards in his recovery from knee surgery, and he may end up having to take a medical redshirt this season. Michael Porter has a concussion. Patrick Patterson is currently not practicing due to an upper respiratory infection. Crawford is still less than 100% from his knee surgery. Jared Carter is recovering from his double shoulder surgery. Ramon Harris and Perry Stevenson have broken noses. Keep in mind, we only have thirteen scholarship players and less than a week before the season starts. -- Tubby Smith would have never let this happen.
