I am so happy for my Runnin’ Bulldogs today. Gardner-Webb was in Lexington last night for the regional final of the Coaches vs Cancer Classic and were 25 point underdogs to the Wildcats. Well, the school I played for in ‘95 and ‘96 stepped up and bitch slapped Kentucky hard. Gardner-Webb won 84-68 which was a shock to say the least and nonetheless it was Billy Gillespie’s (new Kentucky coach) birthday! Not the best birthday present especially when the home crowd is booing you and the team while you are getting spanked. I can assure you the boys from the Bluegrass state will be practicing until they puke in the coming days after allowing this debacle to happen. Garnder-Webb will now play in New York City next week in Madison Square Garden against Connecticut more than likely. Go G-Dubb!

Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl has one of the best names of all college bowl games. It also has the potential to be one of the higher scoring bowl games of the holiday season. The Clemson Tigers have the 15th best offense in the country while Kentucky is ranked 31st. They key to this game will be if Clemson takes advantage of one of the most talented backfields in the nation. If they establish a solid ground game I do not think Kentucky stands a chance. James Davis and freshman C.J. Spiller are the two explosive backs for Clemson and are a joy to watch.

The slate is full of great college basketball games so here are our picks.

Duke covers -14 at home against George Mason
