Kentucky Ready to Replace One Billy With Another?

The fate of Kentucky coach Billy Gillespie will be announced Friday, but Rich Bozich of the Louisville Courier-Journal has a hunch what is going to transpire.

Gators' Calathes Is a Bad Poker Player

Florida is trying to rebound from a disappointing 2007-08 season, so you think its players would have spent the offseason working on their game.
