During pickup games last month one of the main things to stick out in my mind, was the vast improvement of Liggins, he looked like a different player than the out of control PG from last season, but I wrote it off as a lack of evaluation skills on my part, but then last week in a interview on ESPN radio Coach Calipari said that Deandre Liggins would surprise everyone this season, so once again my genius was confirmed (sarcasm), but obviously coach can see signs of the potential that Liggins showed in high school.

Deandre Liggins may have seen his last days as a point guard with the talented John Wall and Eric Bledsoe in the fold, and Cal recruiting every PG in the known universe, but with Deandre’s speed and ball handling skills, he could create a multitude of match up problems for defenders on the wing, and with UK’s lack of a true SG, minutes could be earned at the 2 guard spot. If you watch tape on Liggins from high school you see a player loaded with confidence, that will be the main factor if he is to turn his UK career around, and Cal is a master of motivation and instilling confidence in young players.

Whether we see a new Deandre Liggins emerge this year remains to be seen, but it is one more intriguing possibility in this new era of UK hoops.

Tastes in erotica vary widely, and what is acceptable to one person may be as the bottom of a bird cage to another; or, to put it another way, one lady’s deep throat may be another’s large yawn.

It’s all in ones interpretation. TCP mods have decided that since families go to the beach and watch beach volleyball together, that they cannot view the participants at John Blues little mini Saudi Arabia in still form.

It has come to our attention that TCP (The Cats Pause) online has banned signatures that depict women in bikinis. So lets look at that objectively a bit. Now they cant as much as look at a girl who is on the beach, they cant watch the women play volleyball. They cant watch the cheerleaders held high in the air as god forbid in the name of religion one might get to view her underwear.

Lets look at it another way, TCP is a fan site for University of Kentucky athletics that supposedly supports UK teams, men and women. Now it’s OK to support the Mens basketball as action photos and clips of mens basketball apparently are OK, just not the womens swim team or any beach volleyball played by the students. While they are at it, I suppose they will have to ban signatures of mens basketball players from the 50s and 60s and 70s, as those uniforms barely covered those players nuts.

Look, nobody is saying they wanted porn at TCP as porn has its own place. We dont even allow porn at Dynasty Defenders. But we do know that while
TCP says in the name of it being a “family site” they want to censor women in swimsuits that can appear at family friendly places like beaches and sporting events. Heaven forbid, a cheerleader jump up in the air or anyone at a “family” basketball game might see her underwear. I dont think its the kids they profess to protect as
kids dont have any negative preconceived notions about silly things like bikinis. That is drilled into them by so called “adults” The message sent is women are bad if they are at the beach. Its OK to see them if you are actually there as a family. Its just not OK to see them if you see the same scene on the internet at TCP’s site.

Where does censorship stop?

We already have an administration that wants to stimy talk radio hosts. Its only a matter of time before the John
Blues of the world win and we lose the right altogether to gather on the net and discuss our Wildcats. Freedoms go away one step at a time. The current presidential administration wants to attack talk radio and silence it as well in the name of the “Fairness Doctrine”

Not everyone will agree with this blog entry, but everyone needs to know that one by one their rights WILL be taken away. The sad thing is, many dont seem to care.

One mans opinion, given while it’s still legal to give it.
