Quarterback Mike Hartline, shown here talking to offensive coordinator Joker Phillips during the April 25 Blue-White game, plans to hold onto his position even though two touted freshmen prospects have joined the squad. "My goal is to get everybody to feel that I'm the guy," Hartline said. "I want it to be a situation where there's no doubt I should be the guy." (Photo by Mark Cornelison) Read the story

Two days. Valerie Still was two days from being homeless. When the sheriff sends official notice that your house will be auctioned out from under you in foreclosure, it tends to be rather jarring.
Men's Basketball
AUCKLAND, New Zealand — Howard Thompkins III scored 22 points and the United States stayed perfect with an 85-69 win over Greece in a second-round game at the FIBA under-19 world championships Monday.
Jerry Tipton's notebook
Survivor of a bullet wound to the head. Accomplice in arguably Kentucky's most painful loss in Rupp Arena. Shaker of Nelson Mandela's hand.
Chip Cosby's notebook

When writing about thereunion last weekend of Paul Bryant's former players at Kentucky, it hit me that, starting with the Bear, UK has had 10 football coaches since 1946. Seemed liked the perfect opportunity for a Top 10 list. But if the Bear is the certain No. 1, who's No. 2? And, for a program that has struggled so over the years, who deserves the bottom of the list?
Baseball
What if the University of Kentucky held a baseball camp in Owensboro and nobody came?

Former University of Kentucky jumper Dwight Phillips drew the biggest ovation of the night Saturday at the U.S. championships when he leapt 28 feet, 1½ inches in the long jump on his second attempt. That jump was good enough to win gold and banish some personal demons at Hayward Field.
