Stephen Bilas and Mary Katherine Kington
were announced as Student Government presi-
dent and vice president Thursday on the Student
Center patio.
Bilas is a management and finance junior,
and Kington is a finance junior.
“I’m excited to see the potential of the
group we have and of SGA,” Bilas said. “I’m
impressed on so many levels.”
The unofficial results reported that a total
4,732 students voted, which is 17 percent of
campus.
Bilas and Kington won with 2,388 votes,
compared with Drake Staples and Mary Ellen
Wimberly’s 1,716 votes. There were 88 write-in
votes.
When the results were announced, support-
ers erupted in cheers and embraced one another.
But just on the other side of the patio, groups of
students went silent as their campaign was de-
feated.
“We’re very excited for the entire team,”
Kington said. “We have successes on the entire
ticket, top to bottom.”
Both Kington and Bilas said they were
proud of their team, and that it truly was a team
effort.
Bilas said all the candidates on their ticket
worked hard, passing out handbills and put-
ting up posters. He said people were eager to
help.
It has been a long process since June when
they started preparing for the election, Kington
said.
Since then, they have been working hard
to make sure campus is represented, Bilas
said.
Both Bilas and Kington said that Drake Sta-
ples and Mary Ellen Wimberly did a good job,
and there was “healthy competition,” Kington
said.
“We were definitely happy with the turnout
on campus,” Wimberly said about the results.
She hopes Bilas and Kington take their ideas
into consideration.
“We want to keep fighting for UK stu-
dents,” Staples said.
Current Student Government President Mic-
ah Fielden said he looks forward to working
with Bilas and Kington and transitioning them
in to their positions. His tenure as president
ends on the last day of classes.
Both Bilas and Kington said they are excit-
ed to get started and working on the ideas they
have.

Basketball players recruited from across the country soon
catch the Big Blue Nation’s infectious ardor for UK basket-
ball, but one player has loved the team since he was in dia-
pers — literally.
Like so many little boys growing up in the Lexington
area, Jarrod Polson dreamed of being a Wildcat while he was
shooting hoops with his dad and older brothers.
“He always wanted to play at UK,” George Polson, Jar-
rod’s father, said. “That has always been his life dream.”
George Polson said his son’s passion for basketball
seemed to exist “from birth.”
“We actually have videos of Jarrod shooting — not
throwing, shooting — at 18 months,” he said. “I know people
think I’m crazy, but I have videos of him in diapers shooting
the ball — and making them. It was kind of strange.”
Now the community that watched Jarrod Polson play for
church leagues, in middle school and as a Colt at West Jes-
samine High School gets to watch him go to the Final Four
— for the second time.
Though UK promotional materials list his hometown as
Nicholasville, Ky., (where West Jessamine is located), Polson
hails from the small town of Wilmore, Ky.
Wilmore is a college town with two stop lights nearly 20
miles southwest of Lexington and with a population of about
6,000.
A hometown boy becoming a Wildcat is big news.
Last year his name appeared in the town’s newsletter
with the words “Congratulations to the UK Wildcats and Jar-
rod Polson, member of Final 4 UK Team and WILMORE
resident!”
“It has literally been a community deal,” George Polson
said.
Jarrod Polson’s basketball skills caught the attention of
many in his community long before he received the call from
head coach John Calipari, letting him know he could play for
his favorite team in college. West Jessamine head coach Da-
mon Kelley arrived at the school in time for Polson’s senior
year as a Colt and quickly noticed there was something spe-
cial about him.
“He was one of the best players, but you would never
know it talking to him,” Kelley said. “He likes to just be one
of the guys. He was a superstar but there was no jealousy be-
cause of his attitude.”
His senior year, Polson set the school’s record for the
most points scored, averaging 18.2 points, 6.4 assists and 4.9
rebounds, and leading the team to the second round of the
Sweet 16 state tournament.
Locals still talk about a game from the previous year, his
junior year, when he scored 51 points against local power-
house Lexington Catholic.
“I don’t think people realize how good Jarrod and the
other kids on the bench are,” Kelley said. “We felt like we
could do anything — because we had Jarrod.”
Calipari, too, has recognized his talent, calling him the
most talented walk-on he has ever coached and awarding him
a scholarship both seasons he has played.
Polson’s popularity has increased exponentially since his
high school days, even though he gets less playing time. Sev-
eral fan sites have cropped up, and his youthful face has be-
come iconic to many UK devotees.
His family members, however — mother, Chrisi; older
brothers, Wes and Eric; and younger sisters, Ashley and Al-
yse — remain his biggest fans. They have enjoyed traveling
to different cities to watch him play games.
They may be his biggest fans, but being on UK’s basket-
ball team has also given Jarrod Pol-
son’s family opportunities for
some good-natured teasing.
“He’s the resident cutie
pie or something,” George
Polson said.
When he learned his son
would be playing for UK, he
told him: “You’re going to
be the first Kentucky basket-
ball player known for your looks
more than your basketball.”
His father’s words seem to have had
some predictive qualities, as Polson was re-
cently named one of Cosmopolitan magazine’s
“The Hottest Guys of March Madness.”
George Polson said when he found out about his
son’s ranking, “I actually laughed. No. 1, I knew
Jarrod would not know what Cosmo was. We
gave him some good-natured ribbing. He still
doesn’t realize people know who he is.”
Ribbing aside, more than Jarrod’s looks
seem to have caught him widespread atten-
tion. Polson is known as one of the
team’s best students and can also play
the piano by ear.
“He’s the total package,” Kel-
ley said, noting that he couldn’t
think of a single person he had
ever heard say anything ill of the
player. “He’s the kind of guy you want
your daughter to marry.”
And many do seem to want their
daughters to marry him.
“I’ve had several people stop
by my business just to give me the
names and numbers of their
daughters and granddaughters,”
George Polson said. Fans also flag him down at games and
other events, insisting that their daughters “have to meet” his
son.
The Polson family’s Christian faith was an important part
of Polson’s upbringing, and so was UK basketball. Born into
a household of UK fans, he loved watching basketball and
would pretend to be his favorite UK greats.
He started playing basketball with his dad and with his
brothers, two people who made their own marks on West Jes-
samine’s athletic programs.
“He always had to play against bigger people,” George
Polson said, citing this as one reason Jarrod might feel com-
fortable playing with the big players he now encounters at UK.
As early as first grade, Jarrod’s father noticed his knowl-
edge of basketball and ambidextrous ability to dribble with
both hands.
“We knew he was probably going to play in college,”
George Polson said. “We weren’t expecting him to be at
UK.” Though Jarrod Polson expressed his desire to play for
UK to his dad as a child, both he and his family knew his
chances were remote.
“He knew there were astronomical
odds,” George Polson said, but “as a
parent, you always encourage it.”
George Polson describes the ex-
perience of getting to watch his son
play for UK as “crazy as a fan,
crazy as a parent.”
Kelley agreed: “It’s excit-
ing every time to see him out
there. He really wanted to
play at Kentucky. That was
his dream. He’s getting to
live that dream every day.”
Achieving his dream
hasn’t made Polson forget
where he came from.
Kelley said Polson re-
cently tweeted the West Jes-
samine team a good luck
message before their tourna-
ment and remains popular with
the team even though he is now
several years past high school.
“He still comes around when
he can,” Kelley said. “He’s still a
part of our program.”
“He’s got a very good sup-
port system,” George Polson
added. “They’re friends; they don’t
see Jarrod the Wildcat, they see Jarrod
the friend.”
As Polson heads to his second Final Four,
his family will be traveling to New Orleans to
cheer on the team and support Jarrod, whether or
not he plays.
“Whether it’s a rec league, middle school or high
school, you still support your child,” George Polson said.
And Kelley said his players, who are not all UK fans,
cheer for all different teams, from North Carolina to Ten-
nessee, but that they have one thing in common: “We’re all
Jarrod fans.”

Talented walk-on Polson grew up loving UK
Kentucky’s sweetheart
MAYSVILLE, Ky. — UK’s senior basketball star, a member of the
No.1 team in the nation, achieved celebrity status in his hometown.
But that was eight years ago.
Darius Miller has become well known in Lexington over the last
four years, but 65 miles away in the town of Maysville, Ky., he has
been a local hero for nearly a decade.
“Everybody really started talking about him when he was in the
eighth grade,” said Hoss Sweet, a counselor at the Tom Browning
Boys and Girls Club in Maysville. “Darius is a hometown hero.”
Miller was a regular at the club, Sweet said.
“He played a lot with the kids. Showed them how to shoot, pass
and play defense,” Sweet said. “He’d walk in here and every kid here
would run up to him.”
Sweet explained that Miller was a huge part of
Maysville’s favorite pastime: basketball.
“Maysville is a basketball town,” Sweet said.
Miller helped lead Mason County High School to a state
championship in 2008, and was named Kentucky Mr.
Basketball the same year by the Kentucky Lions Eye
Foundation.
Miller wasn’t the first MCHS player to receive that title,
however.
“Everybody always compared him to Chris Lofton,” said
Jonathan Reynolds, a former classmate of Miller’s.
Lofton, also a graduate of MCHS, got attention in 2004
when he signed with the University of Tennessee, despite
being named Kentucky Mr. Basketball his senior year.
Miller did not follow suit.
“Darius always wanted to go to UK,” said Brian Miller,
his father.
Brian Miller played basketball at Morehead State
University and said that he recognized his son’s abilities
at a very young age.
“In his early years, he played with us and held his
own,” Miller said. “His basketball IQ is off the charts.”
Darius Miller’s success on the court didn’t affect his
attitude off of it, said Kathryn Pfeffer, another classmate.
“Everybody would crowd him in the hallway,” Pfeffer
said. She was a freshman when Miller was a senior and
said “he was ‘the guy,’ but didn’t really have a big ego.”
Even Brian Miller admitted his son was a local celebri-
ty.
“Darius always got attention,” he said.
Brian Miller is Darius’ self-proclaimed toughest critic,
but when asked to describe his son in three words, he
chose “humble, shy and loving.”
But on the other hand, with so many supporters in
Maysville, who lays claim to the title of ‘Darius’ biggest
fan’?
“I’m just mom,” Nicole Miller said. “I try not to talk
about basketball with him.”
Nicole Miller said that while she wasn’t a very big fan
of the game, she couldn’t be more proud of her son.
“To see him accomplish his dreams, there’s nothing
better,” she said.
Although no one can predict what the future holds for
Miller and the UK men’s basketball team, Nicole Miller said
that one thing is certain.
“I’ll be proud of him, no matter what.”

When students are grumbling about
classes not being canceled, they may think
the president isn’t a basketball fan.
But really, he and his wife might be the
biggest fans of all.
“We haven’t missed a beat,” Dr. Mary
Lynne Capilouto said. “I’ve been so im-
pressed with the whole fan base. I mean,
everyone is very respectful of the other
teams and have been fun to be with.”
Though Eli and Mary Lynne Capilouto
are new to the state and the university, they
have caught on quickly to the strong athletic
traditions here.
From football to the rifle team, the Capi-
loutos have been supporting UK athletics
from the start.
Mary Lynne Capilouto said from their
first time at Commonwealth Stadium, the ex-
perience has been fun.
They know the tradition runs deep and
have learned the meaning of March Madness.
“All that magic and heart-felt apprecia-
tion for teams ... that magic brings people to-
gether,” Eli Capilouto said.
And as the Capiloutos are huge sports
fans, they also are the biggest supporters of
the university as a whole.
Eli Capilouto said it is nice knowing that
along with such great athletic success, the
athletes are good students.
Among many other academic accom-
plishments, he said two-thirds of the pro-
grams have a 3.0 GPA or higher and the stu-
dent athletes give back through service.
“That’s a very gratifying part of this as
well,” he said.
His wife said athletics are just an added
bonus to such a great university.
“The athletics are really like icing on the
cake, it brings everyone together,” she said.
Other than attending practices and games
for many of the university’s sports teams, the
pair have gotten to know the coaching staff
and support behind each team at UK.
“The coaches are a great set of human
beings,” Mary Lynne Capilouto said. “They
care about the athletes and are wonderful
role models.”
A prime example of a great coach is in
the scene when freshman forward Anthony
Davis hurt his knee in UK’s game against
Baylor in the Elite Eight, they said.
“Coach Cal walks over, puts his arm
around him and kisses him on the forehead,”
she said. “That says a lot about Coach Cal.”
Eli Capilouto joked that when it comes
game time, he would give Anthony Davis a
kiss just because.
After laughing for a few moments, Mary
Lynne Capilouto said she would kiss his brow.
But all jokes aside, the two said it has
been great meeting everyone involved with
athletics.
“The biggest shock,” Mary Lynne Capi-
louto said, was “to walk into a room where
they are standing right beside you ... it’s real-
ly phenomenal their height and strength.”
She said she has enjoyed watching the
players develop and work together as a team.
“They each have a special presence on
the court, I think,” she said.
She also said she loves watching Calipari
coach.
“Everybody says he is a great recruiter,
but he is an exceptional coach,” she said.
Being from Alabama, the Capiloutos
know what an intense in-state rivalry is like.
So for the game Saturday against Louisville,
they know all eyes are on Kentucky.
“I think it’s what makes college sports
special,” Eli Capilouto said. “I think it’s what
makes being a Kentuckian special.”
He said he had hoped UK would face
Louisville in the final game, but said the Fi-
nal Four is still “terrific for the state and
brings lots of attention.”
Though the Capiloutos haven’t witnessed
all of UK basketball history, they have learned
quite a bit from being here for less than a year.
The president said he quickly learned not
to mention UK’s 2004 NCAA loss to the
University of Alabama-Birmingham, where
he was provost before coming to UK.
He said he remembers only about 250
UAB fans in the crowd dominated by the
Big Blue Nation.
But although UK lost, he said the fans
“were great to us.”
And this past year, they have been able
to experience the Big Blue Nation up close
as members. Especially when they went to
New Orleans.
“You realize the thousands of people that
come just to share the moment. That was
pretty thrilling,” Eli Capilouto said.
Other than men’s basketball, the couple
also traveled with other teams and have been
able to see what the teams are like behind
the scenes.
“That’s been a real treat,” Eli Capilouto
said.
When he traveled to Iowa for the
women’s tournament, he said he received so
many compliments on the team and everyone
who supports them.
He said fans line up to greet and send off
the players, and the players and coaches are
courteous and respectful.
As the two head to New Orleans to cheer
the Cats on, they will be some of the team’s
greatest fans.
They reminded students to stay safe, and
Eli Capilouto said he hopes there are no
blemishes on the celebrations.
“I hope we celebrate, I hope we have
fun,” he said, “and I hope everybody is go-
ing to take away from this memories that are
going to be a part of Kentucky basketball
that you can pass down.”

1. Anthony Davis’ minutes: In Janu-
ary, weeks after losing 69-62 to UK in a de-
fense-oriented slugfest, Louisville coach Rick
Pitino said the secret to beating the Wildcats
was getting forward Anthony Davis in foul
trouble.
The Cardinals almost did just that in the
first meeting, forcing him
into two first-half fouls, but
they — like almost every
other team not named Indi-
ana — couldn’t keep Davis
off the floor enough to pre-
vent him from changing the
game.
“I said, ‘Look, they’re
getting layups right now be-
cause he’s not in the game,’
” Calipari told his team at
halftime in that Dec. 31
win. “When I put him back
in at the start of the second half, you’ll see
what he does for you guys.’ ”
What did he do? Lead UK to a win. And,
if he can stay on the floor, UK’s chances to re-
peat that result go up exponentially.
2. Russ-diculous: In the first game,
Louisville guard Russ Smith accounted for 30
of the Cardinals’ 62 points. He’s been their
sparkplug off the bench all season, including
scoring 19 points in 22 minutes in an Elite
Eight comeback win to set up this juicy
matchup.
Whoever draws that defensive assignment
— probably Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, but mul-
tiple Cats could see time guarding him — will
have to contain the bundle of energy that is
Russ Smith.
“He’s from a different planet,” Pitino said.
Of course, it’s not just Smith the Cats have
to guard. Chane Behanan has potential to turn
in a good game. Kyle Kuric could always light
it up from outside. But Smith is the most im-
portant player for the Cats to contain.
3. Handling the stage: John Calipari
admitted UK was “off kilter” in last season’s
Final Four loss, that the “bright lights” may
have gotten to them.
His hope is that more experience (Terrence
Jones, Darius Miller and Doron Lamb have
been there before) can in turn help the fresh-
men avoid the wide-eyed look that could sink
the season. It’s totally plausible, however, that
this team gets caught in the massive build-up
this week has brought and shrinks under the
pressure.
But this team has also carried the bulls-eye
of being the title favorite and the best team all
year. If anything can prepare it for playing a
Final Four in a massive dome against its
biggest rival, it’s a year’s worth of similar
hype for just being that good.
Bottom line: The Cats have been play-
ing, top to bottom, the best they’ve played all
year. All six major players have turned in per-
formances ranging from solid to spectacular in
each of UK’s first four NCAA Tournament
games.
A loss would be devastating for the UK
fan base and for Calipari. To have their dream
season abruptly end by the team regarded as
the “little brother” in the relationship would be
the absolute worst-case scenario.
But I just don’t see it happening. Final
score: UK 73, Louisville 65.

LouisvilleBig EastRecord: 30-9Head coach: Rick Pitino
Saturday’s battle of the Bluegrass in the
Final Four features two opposing freshmen
that at one time were thought to favor their I-
64 rival.
UK’s Marquis Teague is from the
Hoosier state, but no allegiance was to be
had from this fab frosh despite the state he
hailed from. Teague, in fact, was coming to
the land of horses, Bluegrass and basketball,
one way or another.
The question was: Would he bleed red or
blue?
Rivals.com’s No. 1 overall point guard
and No. 5 player in the 2011 class had his
story take a dramatic swing in September
2009.
On a September Monday, the Louisville
Cardinals hired Shabaka Lands as a special
assistant to head coach Rick Pitino. At the
time, Lands was better known as an assistant
coach at Pike High School in Indianapolis —
Teague’s team.
Not that hiring Teague’s high school as-
sistant coach didn’t help, but from the onset
many believed he would go to Louisville be-
cause of his father.
Shawn Teague, Marquis’ father, played
for Pitino at Boston University in the early to
mid-1980s. Teague still ranks in the top five
of many statistical categories there.
But, it was when John Calipari accepted
the head coaching position with UK that the
tide turned.
Calipari was becoming synonymous with
developing NBA-caliber point guards. He
had already helped develop the games of
Derrick Rose and Tyreke Evans. At the time
of Teague’s recruitment, former Cat John
Wall was taking his place as the next great
creation of Calipari’s system.
During the week of Teague’s April 22,
2010, announcement, he and his family sat
UK and U of L fans can agree on one thing this
weekend: this is a game they won’t want to miss.
The Cats face Louisville Saturday at 6:09 p.m.
at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
And true to the nature of this UK squad, the
game will be fast-paced.
“We don’t want to be in a hurry to score, but
we want to play fast,” UK head coach John Cali-
pari said. “The games are going to be a little more
jumbled up and it should be exciting.”
But Louisville is riding a wave of momentum
into Saturday’s matchup, topping Davidson, New
Mexico, Florida and Michigan State on its road to
the Final Four.
“Now we are going to play the best team in the
country,” Louisville head coach Rick Pitino said.
“We are excited about that.”
The Cats’ speed combined with the Cardinals’
press makes for a game much like the December
matchup earlier in the season with improved play-
ers.
“When you are playing at this stage of the sea-
son, a win or a loss doesn’t matter if it is against a
school that is 12 miles from you or a thousand
miles,” Calipari said. “It really does not matter.”
The Cats understand the pressure they face and
understand that “being in the Final Four is pressure
enough,” sophomore forward Terrence Jones said.
While fans are talking this game up to be the
biggest thing to ever happen in college sports in
the state of Kentucky, the players try to keep out
of the hype.
“This is just our next game, and we are going
to continue to prepare just like we have all year,”
senior guard Darius Miller said. “We are going to
continue to play hard, just like we have all year,
and have fun with it.”
While some analysts believed the Cardinals
would try to slow the pace of the game in order to
control it, the players disagree.
“I think they are going to full-court press,
pressure and be the team they have been all tour-
nament — just playing good offense and control-
ling the court with great ball control, and lots of
physical play and physical pressure on defense,”
Jones said. “It should just be fun to play in a game
like that.”
Ultimately, the Cats hope to take the rivalry
with the town down the road as the least important
aspect of the Final Four matchup, and take it one
game at a time.
“It’s a big game for the fans and the state of
Kentucky, the whole rivalry, but we look at it as
another game,” freshman forward Anthony Davis
said. “That’s how you have to look at it, but you
need to let the fans and the Kentucky program and
Louisville program take pride in it.”

fast-paced game against the Louisville
Cardinals Saturday night in the Mer-
cedes-Benz Superdome in New Or-
leans.
”They did a great job of playing
with intensity,” senior guard Darius
Miller said. “Their press caused us to
have a lot of turnovers, but we have
been working on that and preparing
for that, but now we are both two to-
tally different teams.”
But both teams have improved,
and an injury-plagued Louisville team
is (nearly) back to full health, exclud-
ing juniors Rakeem Buckles, Mike
Marra and Stephan Van Treese.
“I know they are better, we know
that we are better,” Miller said. “It just
comes down to which team is ready
now.”

Fair-weather fans have come out of the woodwork now that the
Kentucky Wildcats and Louisville Cardinals leave the bluegrass state
for Saturday’s game in New Orleans.
The long history between the teams and coaches brings about
emotional opinions for fans.
“I follow UK because I go to school here,” Jenna Miller, a hospi-
tality management senior, said, “and there is nothing better than be-
ing in Lexington when the Cats are playing.
“But if we tragically lose, I would follow Louisville only because
they are from Kentucky.”
A fair-weather fan, according to urbandictionary.com, is described
as a fan of a sports team who only shows support when the team is
doing well.
Some die-hard UK or Louisville fans have coined these people
without the strongest of loyalties to UK as fair-weather fans.
Kyle Kelly, a community and leadership development sopho-
more, said he loves UK basketball more than anything.
Kelly has similar thoughts to that of Miller, “but if Louisville
won, I would rather see them win the national championship because
my hate for Ohio State and Kansas is greater than my hate for
Louisville,” he said.
Meredith Gross, a merchandising, apparel and textiles sopho-
more, is originally from Louisville and still is a Cards fan.
“People who say they are going to cheer for whichever Kentucky
team advances are not die-hard fans,” Gross said. “If Kentucky wins,
I’m not going to cheer for them in the championship game. I am a
Cards fan and I have never cheered for UK in the regular season or
tournament time, so why would I change now?”
On the other hand, Renae Nally is a nursing student from
Louisville but is a UK fan. Nally is confident in the Cats and said,
“fortunately I am not a U of L fan.”
“If by some tragic, unforeseen miracle the Cards manage to beat
us, we would never want to see them win the national title,” Nally
said.
Lizzie Nuckols, also a nursing student, echoed those feelings: “A
‘fair-weather fan’ isn’t really considered a fan to me.”
Anywhere in Kentucky at any time, one can always
find a basketball fan or a horse.
This weekend you might find both together in streets of
downtown Lexington during celebrations after the NCAA
Tournament games.
Lexington police’s Mounted Patrol Unit will be staged
at a location near campus and be prepared to respond to
any problems that might occur if the crowds in the street
get too rowdy following a UK win or loss.
Mounted officer Dan Edge said fans know that celebrat-
ing in the streets is acceptable, but sometimes they want to
do the forbidden things — like burn couches — to celebrate.
He said his suspicions were already rising when he saw
a truck filled with mattresses drive by the other day.
“It’s just an excuse to do something bad,” he said.
“When it gets a little crazy, they’re going to say we need to
move the people away from the area ... they’ll call the hors-
es in.”
Edge said the horses are great for crowd control be-
cause one mounted officer can move the same number of
people that would require 10 officers on foot to move. The
horses can turn sideways and create a wall to steer the
crowd from the streets back to the sidewalks.
Edge said he sits about 9 feet high on his horse Zeus
and can see over crowds.
Sgt. Ellen Sam from the unit said the police want peo-
ple to have fun but be safe.
“If there’s a big commotion going on, they can start
helping pick out the people who are causing or instigating
the problem — help isolate them so those people can be re-
moved and the rest of the crowd can go back and have a
good time,” she said.
The mounted officers aren’t there just to control crowds
but are there to save them, too.
Sam said a couple years ago people were expecting a
win during the NCAA Tournament. Fans were celebrating
on the streets near campus when someone passed out in the
middle of the crowd.
Police cruisers couldn’t get to the person, she said, and
an officer on foot wouldn’t have been able to get there
quickly.
The mounted officer could see where to go and led
medical personnel to the person who was in need of help.
Even if crowds can’t hear what an officer is saying,
they see the officer on the horse motioning them to move
and the crowd clears out quicker, Sam said.
“People don’t want to get stepped on, nor do we want
to step on them,” Sam said. “It’s a more effective way to
ask people to move and to comply to a direction without
having to resort to any type of force or anything where po-
tentially people or officers could get hurt.”
Beyond the crowdsThe mounted unit began in 1982 after an idea circulated
of an officer riding a horse during a Fourth of July parade
downtown.
Sam said Robert Maxwell had a horse and let an officer
named George Taylor use it for the parade.
It was such a hit with the public that it continued, she
said.
Maxwell would drive downtown each day to leave a
Quarter Horse named Buck for Taylor to ride, then would
pick Buck up at the end of the day, she said.
The unit doesn’t just get involved with crowds or spe-
cial events. The mounted officers, whose duties aren’t any
different from officers in cruisers, ride around patrolling
downtown roads daily.
Currently, the unit has four officers, a sergeant and a
civilian who takes care of the unit’s barn and property on
West Sixth Street.
Sam said people who live downtown are more familiar
with the mounted police than others might be.
“They know the police are there because they hear the
footfalls of the horse,” she said. “It makes them feel safer.”
Sam said people often feel intimidated approaching an
officer in a cruiser, but they often approach the mounted of-
ficers because they want to pet the horses and chat with of-
ficers. Sometimes that makes them feel comfortable enough
to tell the officers about any crime that might be happening
in the area.
“It’s a good way to break some of the bonds of fear be-
tween police and the people,” Sam said.
Edge agreed that horses are a good public relations
tool.
“It’s a different angle for law enforcement to use to talk
to the community who may be a little intimidated by you
or not care for you,” he said.
From cruiser to cowboyEdge has been a police officer for 26 years and a
mounted officer for 14 years.
He said he loved seeing an officer in uniform riding
down Main Street for the first time. So when he was asked
if he was interested in becoming a mounted officer, he was
willing to do it.
He said he didn’t know which end of the horse was
dangerous and had no experience with horses before his 10
weeks of training.
Going from the police cruiser to horseback was a big
change for him.
“Learning a new thing and being a horse person is
whole new job,” he said.
It took a little while for him to get comfortable around
horses, but by the end of his training, he was.
He actually trained his 17-year-old white Percheron-
Friesian to be a police horse — to handle the loud city life.
Edge said the bond he has developed during the 14
years with his horse is the best part of being a mounted of-
ficer.
All the officers build a relationship with their horses,
Sam said.
She also said the officers bathe and groom their horses
each morning before they go patrol the streets.

Officials were on the scene of a train accident near Virginia Avenue
Thursday, where a man was struck and killed by a train.
Norfolk Southern Railway officials notified police that a man
passed out on the tracks and was hit around 6:30 p.m., said Lexington
police Lt. Scott Blakely. He did not know if the man had been intoxicat-
ed.
The man was not a UK student, Blakely said.
The accident occurred on the railroad tracks between Royal
Lexington and Newtown Crossing apartment complexes.
The Fayette County coroner’s office had not released the man’s
name as of 11 p.m. Thursday.

Siblings at UK, U of L dividedFamilies trash talk, deal with criticism on rival campuses
Saturday’s game isn’t the only rivalry this week-
end. Some of the more bitter conflicts are between
families who have students and legacies at both UK
and Louisville.
“They’ve been taking shots at each other on
Facebook all week, making fun and joking on UK or
U of L fans,” said Keith Sanders of his son, Scott, who
is a senior at UK, and his daughter, Kathleen, who
graduated from Louisville in 2007.
Sometimes the siblings watch games together, but
things can get ugly, Sanders said.
“We almost have to sit between them and have to
keep the bantering down,” he said.
He recalled a game from a couple years ago where
the rivalry escalated.
“U of L was making a huge comeback,” he said.
“My daughter grabbed a box of Kleenex, tossed it to
my son and said, ‘Here, you’re going to need these
soon!’”
Louisville came back and won, he said, and his
son left the room and they didn’t see him the rest of
the night.
“We’ve always rooted for UK,” he said, “but we
root for U of L when they’re not playing Kentucky and
vice versa.”
Kathleen Sanders received scholarships to go to
Louisville, he said, so he felt financially obligated to
cheer for that team. But with his son at UK, he finally
had a reason to support the Cats.
“All my money’s going to UK now for Scott’s
tuition,” he said. “We have to stay neutral to keep the
peace, but I secretly think UK will win.”
Unlike Kathleen Sanders, some Louisville students
were raised die-hard UK fans and risk supporting the
Cats on the Cards’ territory.
Brandon Collins, a Louisville student, has a twin
brother, Bryce Collins, who attends UK.
“Everyone in my family loves UK and most of
them attended UK for their undergrad,” he said.
He said the criticism he receives from Cards fans
as he walks around campus wearing blue is worth it.
“I even had one person scream at me as they were
driving by from their car window,” he said.
He’s not the only Cats fan in “The ‘Ville.”
“I pass at least two other blue shirts when I go to
class. You would be surprised at the number of stu-
dents here that are UK fans,” he said.
Even though he follows tradition and roots for UK,
he takes jabs for attending Louisville.
“My uncle loves to call me ‘traitor’ and my friends
and brother back home call me a closet Louisville fan
all the time,” he said.
He does, however, try to show support for other
sports, such as soccer.
“For the education path I have taken, I had to look
past the sports aspect of the university,” Brandon
Collins said.
He said his parents are supportive and cheer for
Louisville if they are not playing UK.
“My dad likes to see all the Kentucky schools do
well,” he said.
Collins’ support extends to his prediction for
Saturday’s game.
“If UK plays their best ball, there isn’t any way U
of L can match up,” he said.
“Louisville is streaking. The Cats have to stay
mentally strong.”

UK softball faces Tennessee in Knoxville
Coming off a one-run loss to the
Louisville Cardinals during their one-game
homestand, the UK softball team returns to
the road to take on the No. 10-ranked Lady
Volunteers in Knoxville, Tenn.
So far this season, the Cats have man-
aged just two wins against ranked oppo-
nents, both of those coming last weekend
against the No. 24 Auburn Tigers.
One of the leading ladies in those wins
was junior Kara Dill with her team-leading
.405 batting average and 45 hits.
Dill, along with seniors Brittany
Cervantes and Rachel Riley, have to face
yet another dominant pitching staff.
The Lady Vols feature the sisterly duo of
Ellen and Ivy Renfroe.
Ellen, the younger of the sisters, has an
18-1 record on the season with a 0.92 ERA
that ranks in the NCAA’s top 20. Her 183
strikeouts rank in the top 10. For perspec-
tive, UK’s Chanda Bell has the team high
with 92 strikeouts.
Bell leads head coach Rachel
Lawson’s four-pitcher rotation that has to
slow the Lady Vols’ top-50 ranked scoring
team.
Led by junior Raven Chavanne’s .427
average, the Vols collectively bat .303,
which also ranks 34th.
If their efforts carry over, Wednesday
night’s outing against the Cardinals showed
the Cats’ pitching staff has more than what
it takes to slow a highly-ranked run-produc-
ing team. Entering that game, Louisville
was ranked 30th in runs scored.
UK claimed the series victory last sea-
son with the help of home runs during their
Friday and Sunday victories.
Tennessee returned the favor come tour-
nament time, tough. There the Lady Vols
came out on top with a 4-1 win over
Lawson’s club.
The Cats and Lady Vols begin the series
Friday at 6 p.m. Saturday’s opening pitch is
scheduled for 2 p.m., and the series finale is
slated for 1:30 p.m. Sunday.

Louisville, the Cats shot 29.8 percent
from the field, about 19 percent less than
their season average (48.7 percent) with 21
turnovers.
The physical, defensive style of the game
limited fast break opportunities for both
teams. Louisville scored 10 fast break points,
while the Cats scored just four in transition.
The Cardinals dominated off the bench,
scoring 36 bench points to UK’s six, but
freshman forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
was the spark that got the Cats going. He
recorded 24 points and 19 rebounds on the
game.
“I really enjoy playing with him,” Miller
said. “The energy he brings rubs off on all of
us and really gets us going. He is like the
engine to the team.”
But the Cats continue to focus on sur-
passing last year’s Final Four appearance and
earning a berth to the NCAA Tournament
National Championship.
“So much success all season with the
goal to get this far and to keep going is what
we have had our mind set on,” sophomore
forward Terrence Jones said. “We want to
continue to keep making strides to our goal.”
down to discuss his decision, and
the blue won out.
Teague recently told
CBSSports.com’s Jeff Goodman that
he credits his brother — Atlanta
Hawks point guard Jeff Teague —
with helping him decide.
“When I told him that I thought he
should go to Kentucky, he committed
to them right after that,” Jeff Teague
told Goodman. “I felt it was the perfect
spot for point guards. Nothing against
Louisville, but I’ve never seen a point
guard come out of Louisville. I really
think he took it to heart.”
Months after Teague’s announce-
ment for the Cats, it was reported by
the Lexington Herald-Leader’s John
Clay that Shabaka Lands was no
longer a part of the staff, therefore
bringing his recruitment full circle.
Standing in the red corner at 6-
foot-6, weighing 245 pounds is
Louisville’s Chane Behanan.
The freshman forward, originally
from Cincinnati, Ohio, transferred to
Kentucky’s Bowling Green High
School for the beginning of the 2009
school year.
He, like Teague, was a five-star
recruit who was ranked 21st overall
by Rivals.com.
Unlike Teague, Behanan’s recruit-
ment wasn’t surrounded by much
controversy.
Being a highly-touted recruit in
the Bluegrass means you’re going
one way or the other.
The buildup in Behanan’s recruit-
ment was beginning to reach a fever
pitch by late summer of 2010.
Many believed the Cats to be the
front-runner, but an unexpected sur-
prise fell into the lap of the UK
coaching staff.
On Aug. 28, 2010, another fresh-
man forward, Kyle Wiltjer, commit-
ted to the Cats at the Elite 24 All-Star
game.
His arrival left Behanan no other
choice than to join Rick Pitino’s
Cards a little more than a week later
if he wanted to get playing time.
“You know, we recruit a kid, I
think we can get this kid. But you
know, at the end of the day, you don’t
know. Kids have to make that deci-
sion, and he made one. It’s worked
out well for him,” Calipari said.
While his recruitment wasn’t sur-
rounded by controversy, Behanan has
had a knack for being outspoken.
“We’re going undefeated. Point
blank, period,” he said after defeating
Calipari’s former team, the Memphis
Tigers, on the heels of the Cardinals’
New Year’s Eve game with the Cats
at Rupp Arena.
The problem for Behanan is that
he and his team didn’t even make it
to the game against the Cats unde-
feated. Three nights before that
matchup, Georgetown knocked off
the 12-0 Cards on their own court.
In a sit-down video interview
with UK’s and Louisville’s recruits
before last year’s McDonald’s All-
American Game, Behanan said the
Cards would beat the Cats and agreed
with teammate Wayne Blackshear’s
notion that Behanan would dunk all
over UK’s Anthony Davis.
Now that the game has unfolded,
it’s clear that Behanan’s comment
didn’t hold true. He finished the game
with four points and five rebounds af-
ter fouling out in the Cards’ 69-62
loss.
Never at a loss for words, the
Cardinals’ freshman continued his at-
tempt at giving teams bulletin-board
material.
“We get to the Final Four, it’s a
piece of cake from there,” Behanan
said after defeating New Mexico to
advance to the Elite Eight.
Although his promise of an unde-
feated season may not have come to
fruition, Behanan still has the oppor-
tunity to make good his other two
promises come Saturday evening
when his Cards match up with
Teague and the Cats one more time.

Horoscope

CATCHING UP: The cartoonishly cruel
sociopath boy king Joffrey Baratheon (Jack
Gleeson) has taken the Iron Throne after
murdering Eddard Stark (Sean Bean), which
gives him effective — if not actual — con-
trol over the seven kingdoms of Westeros.
Meanwhile, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia
Clarke) — among many vying for the throne
— smothered her beloved Khal Drogo (Jason
Momoa). She places Drogo on a funeral
pyre, along with her precious eggs, enters the
roaring fire, and emerges with three new pets
— her baby dragons. Finally this: Jon Snow
(Kit Harington), Stark’s illegitimate son, has
headed out with the “Night’s Watch” north of
the “Wall” — that towering edifice that keeps
the ghostly “Others” out of Westeros. Who
knows what they will find?
WHAT SUNDAY’S ABOUT: A great
comet with a tail the color of blood stretches
a quarter of the way across the sky of West-
eros. An omen ... but of what? Winter is fi-
nally coming, too, and winters — like the
summer just ending — last years. On the eve
of this monumental natural cycle, civil war is
tearing Westeros apart, with no fewer than
three would-be kings vying for the Iron
Throne, including Joffrey’s brothers Stannis
(Stephen Dillane) and Renly (Gethin Antho-
ny). Joffrey’s uncle Tyrion Lannister (Peter
Dinklage) arrives at the seat of the kingdom,
King’s Landing, where he finds (what else?)
trouble and court intrigue.
His evil sister, Cersei (Lena Headey), is
trying to keep her idiot son, Joffrey, in check
but also wants to find her twin brother (and
lover), Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Wal-
dau), now in the hands of Robb Stark
(Richard Madden), who wants to use him as
bait to get his beloved sisters back.
One is with the evil Joffrey. The other,
Arya (Maisie Williams) has gone missing.
But where? This season is based on “A Clash
of Kings,” the second volume of George
R.R. Martin’s epic fantasy novel series, “A
Song of Fire and Ice.”
MY SAY: Even for those who have read
the books — and “Fire/ Ice” fans are many
— here’s a sage word of counsel. Go back
and watch the last two episodes of the first
season. You’ll be glad you did. “Thrones”
may be a faithful adaptation of the Martin se-
ries, but it’s foremost a self-contained televi-
sion series bound by its own logic, plot and
cast of characters.
Sunday’s second-season premiere sounds
dense and impenetrable, but (trust me) it’s
not — if you come prepared. “Game of
Thrones” is worth the effort because this is
the best show on television.
BOTTOM LINE: TV’s best (but do your
homework before diving in).
