I’ve never had a slideshow plugin I’ve liked. So, let’s see how this one works:

Kentucky was coming off a two year suspension with a brash young coach named Rick Pitino and manned by a bunch of kids who had remained loyal to UK and stayed through the suspension: Richie Farmer John Pelphrey Darren Feldhouse Sean Woods The… (more…)
Billboard’s got this nack for making lists that make no sense to me.
