OUTDOOR TRUTHS: Unbelievable
By Gary Miller If one has been hunting or fishing long enough, he has a few stories that fit into the category of either questionable or unbelievable. In fact, those tales are so unbelievable that without a witness to confirm the event, most would not only question their veracity but would deny the outcome. I can quickly think about three such stories; all of which involve fishing. One night I was fishing with a friend from a covered pontoon when a fish jerked my rod into the

WAYNE KNUCKLES: Meeting Coach Mark Stoops in South Florida
Fate has a sense of humor. Two weeks ago, Kay and I flew out of Lexington to Fort Lauderdale, connecting through Atlanta, headed for the Florida Keys. As I shuffled past first class — the way us back-of-the-planers always do, equal parts jealous and pretending not to look — I spotted a guy that stopped me cold. Looked an awful lot like Mark Stoops. I kept walking. Told myself it probably wasn't him. Kay thought the same thing from her seat. We could barely see up there throug

OUTDOOR TRUTHS: Keep Coming Back
By Gary Miller Hunting and fishing are like other sports in at least one area. There are more failures than successes. Think about it this way. In baseball, if you only get a hit three out of ten times, you’re an all-star. In basketball if you consistently make four out of ten three-pointers, you are elite. In football, a quarterback who completes 65 percent of his passes is considered excellent. And that still means he misses one out of every three throws. And the guys chasi

Kentucky Has New Set of Twin Towers in Strack and Key
By Jamie H. Vaught KySportsStyle.com Magazine Over the years, Kentucky had a couple of legendary "Twin Towers" who either helped Coach Joe B. Hall's Wildcats win the 1978 national championship or guided them to the 1984 Final Four. And UK now has a new set of Twin Towers. So move over -- the 1978 duo of Rick Robey and Mike Phillips, and the 1984 duo of Sam Bowie and Melvin Turpin -- as we need to make room for a new pair of 6-foot-5 stars in junior Clara Strack and senior T

OUTDOOR TRUTHS: Eighteen Hundred
By Gary Miller As I look back on this last deer season, it seems that bad news could be the theme. I hunted hard but my effort only produced minimal results. If I had to compare the hours in the stand to my harvest ledger, I would definitely be in the red. What makes it even worse is I knew I was in a place where some big bucks lived. In fact, I missed my opportunity at one of those bucks because I couldn’t get my crossbow up before said buck left. Another bummer was when I a

WORDS FROM FATHER YOHANES: Spittle & Divine Transformation
By Father Yohanes Akoit One impression someone might have after reading the passage of the man born blind (John 9:1–41) is that it feels unhygienic or even disgusting. This reaction is understandable when we look at the method Jesus used to cure the blind man. Jesus spat on the ground, made clay with the saliva, and smeared the clay on the man’s eyes. Naturally, this creates an association with something unpleasant. Just imagine someone spitting directly or indirectly on our

WAYNE KNUCKLES: March Madness & the Heartbreak of Being a Kentucky Fan
I was eleven years old in 1968 when a transistor radio broke my heart for the first time. Not the last. Not by a long shot. There I was, buried under bunk bed covers like a fugitive, that little radio pressed against my ear with the volume set on 2 — barely a whisper — because God forbid my parents discovered I was awake on a school night. And I lay there listening to my heroes: Dan Issel. Mike Pratt. Phil Argento. The great and terrible Adolph Rupp. The entire Big Blue machi
