John Clay: Lost weekend found Kentucky with no answers

ATHENS, GA. — Talk about your bad Big Blue karma. Talk about your lost weekends.

The bad vibes began Thursday when the No. 10 Kentucky women flew from the pines of Durham, N.C., fresh off a heartbreaking loss to No. 3 Duke, right into another loss in the Arkansas Ozarks.

Then came frustrating Friday when the NCAA officially slammed the door on poor Enes Kanter, ruling once and for all that since Kanter is not a college quarterback for a national power, he may never, ever play college basketball, a ruling that made even Dr. Lee Todd throw up his slide rule in disgust.

Then came high noon Saturday when the Kentucky football team, which has a coach, played the Pittsburgh football team, which doesn't have a coach, and laid an egg in the BBVA Compass Bowl, right there in front of dozens.

So surely, late Saturday afternoon, John Calipari's basketball Cats would pull out the save by beginning Southeastern Conference play with a bold opening statement at the expense of the up-and-coming Georgia Bulldogs.
