Kentucky Vaguely Drops Starting Quarterback

Poor phrasing, I know -- our headlines cannot be widowed, as they say in the industry. Let me try and save this sinking ship of an entry: Kentucky has dismissed (we're over the limit for use of the term "booted" at FanHouse today) would-be starting quarterback Curtis Pulley, seen at right having his lunch money taken away.

Why? Wildcat coach Rich Brooks only deigns to hint as to why.
"There is basically a little more as I delved into it than I was aware of at the time,'' Brooks said.
That could mean anything. What we do know is that "at the time" Pulley was merely in the doghouse for a series of run-ins with the law including traffic charges and a citation for marijuana possession. Anyway, out the hook came to drag Pulley off stage and into the likely abyss of "Football Championship Subdivision" football. Who wants to play D-I football anyway?

Insert new starter Mike Hartline at his disingenuous best.
"But in the end it's all about what you have and how you plan to move on. Since he's not on our team anymore, it's tragic and everybody wants him on our team, but we can't really dwell on it."
The Andre Woodson era is over, and I gotta believe people in Vegas are now in a mad scramble to unload whatever minimal investment they've put into Kentucky football this year.

Curtis Pulley Would Like His Wrist Slapped...But Not Too Hard

When I hear that a player is going to lose playing time due to an off field incident, I usually consider that to be missing the first set of downs or the first quarter of the next game. So after being arrested twice in the past two months, potential Kentucky starting quarterback Curtis Pulley could lose some time on the field as punishment for his recent actions.
Pulley was charged last month in Louisville on a misdemeanor count of marijuana possession. Then this week, Pulley was arrested in Hardin County on traffic charges including speeding, driving on a suspended or revoked license and having expired or no plates or registration papers, according to court documents.
Kentucky head coach Rich Brooks thinks that it's bull crap that one of his players would go to instate rival Louisville to score a bag. And the multiple traffic violations was just the icing on the cake. While Brooks hasn't named the punishment for Pulley, he isn't ruling out possible loss of playing time. Oh, look out! That sound you hear is the cruel wrist slap of Rich Brooks. Kige Ramsey is too busy pimping his magazine collection to be bothered, and Louisville coach Steve Kragthorpe is rumored to be smiling like the butcher's dog.

It was already understood that Kentucky was going to go back to being that team that could beat Vanderbilt on any given Saturday this year. But the loss of their potential starting quarterback would be a hard pill to swallow. So for now, Rich Brooks is going to "let the legal system take it's course" and make a decision after the season is over.
