UK FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK
Former University of Kentucky quarterback Andre Woodson towers about a head above state Treasurer Todd Hollenbach and outweighs him by at least 50 pounds.
All 22 of the University of Kentucky sports teams surpassed the target score in the NCAA's fourth annual Academic Progress Rate report, and thirteen of the school's 22 programs exceeded the national average for public universities in their sports.
Rafael Little doesn't feel comfortable yet even though he has a locker and a spot with the Tennessee Titans. A torn anterior cruciate ligament does that to a running back.
The University of Kentucky Athletics Association Board of Directors approved a self-sustaining $67,035,000 budget on Thursday that includes funding for the use of a private plane in recruiting.

On paper, this weekend's NFL Draft will go down as the most successful draft for the University of Kentucky in almost 20 years. But it will also go down as perhaps the most puzzling.
It's safe to say that the NFL Draft didn't go exactly as planned for Kentucky quarterback Andre Woodson. First, he had to wait until the end of the sixth round to hear his name called, and then he was drafted by a team that hadn't been on his radar leading up to the draft.
The first thing you might recognize about the 2008 University of Kentucky football team is the fact that Andre Woodson, Keenan Burton, Jacob Tamme, Wesley Woodyard and Rafael Little are no longer in uniform.
The stopwatches have gone back in the drawer, and all of the tests, evaluations and interviews have already been put on file. The NFL Draft is finally here, and Andre Woodson is one guy who's happy that the whole draft process is over.

Harry J. Ulinski, who helped lead the University of Kentucky football team to an Orange Bowl appearance in 1950 and later was an All-Pro selection, died Sunday at Baptist Hospital East in Louisville. He was 83.
You've got 130 days. To whet your anticipation; buy all the preview magazines; and get your red/blue loathing on. As you read this, it's exactly 130 days until Kentucky and Louisville renew the Governor's Cup football rivalry.
Kentucky football coach Rich Brooks ditched the usual offense vs. defense format to put his team in a competitive, game-like situation for Saturday's Blue-White Spring Game.

Now that Kentucky has completed spring practice, here's a position-by-position wrap-up and look ahead to fall camp in August. These evaluations are based on coaches' comments and observations through spring practice and not just on Saturday's Blue-White Spring Game.

As is the case with most spring games, all eyes at Commonwealth Stadium figure to be on the quarterbacks when the University of Kentucky holds its annual Blue-White Spring Game on Saturday afternoon.
When Kentucky signed a recruiting class heavy on the offensive line in 2007, it offered enticing possibilities for down the road. Five freshmen were brought in on the line last fall, with four of them (Stuart Hines, Brad Durham, Phillip Hibbard and Billy Joe Murphy) hailing from the Bluegrass state.
Offensive coordinator Joker Phillips and defensive coordinator Steve Brown drafted teams Thursday for Saturday's Blue-White Game, the final act of UK's spring football practice. Game time is 1 p.m. Saturday at Commonwealth Stadium (WLAP-AM 630). Admission and parking are free. Here are the rosters (Kickers, punters and long snappers will play for both teams.):
And you think your job requires multi-tasking. Derrick Locke has spent his spring going back and forth between football and track and field. The University of Kentucky sophomore has to work in that whole going to class thing, too.
