Formerly known as “Shooters”, “Caddy Shack Pizza” is the professionals’ playground for Southwest (Valley Station, PRP & Shively) Louisville, KY! Caddy Shack Pizza is still ran by Larry Davis; who got his start in pizza and just happened to like golf.

Caddy Shack Pizza boasts 4-6 virtual golf courses, a front social/ smoking deck, digital dart boards, pool tables and arcade games, which are spread throughout this mature playground. At Caddy Shack Pizza, you will also find a menu that gives Wick’s Pizza a run for their money! The Owner’s favorite pizza selection is the “LOAD UP CHAMP”. This slice of pizza paradise is one-and-a-half inches thick, has over ten, yeah 10 toppings! Sausage, Pepperoni, Black Olives, Green Olives, Green Peppers, two cheeses, homemade tomamto sauce…and the list just keeps going!

Not only is the pizza good…the people who run this mighty pizza-making joint aren’t that bad either. When I visited Larry’s – Caddy Shack Pizza, I was greeted with smiles and warm welcomes. The people you see working at Caddy Shack Pizza are the same people you’ll see grocery shopping at Kroger on Sunday morning, hustling through the isles of Super Walmart, drinking a beer at Pit Stop liquors (Greenwood Road) or discussing the next PRP High School sports star.

The Caddy Shack Pizza team is made up of people who you grew up with that will treat you with the respect that you won’t find many other places around town.

So, the next time you have a taste for a good ole’ slice of pizza, drop by Caddy Shack Pizza. They’ll make sure you get your belly full and they definitely make sure you’ll have fun in the process!

Ok, UK and UofL fans, it’s time to stop it. Within the past few weeks, there have been a number of instances in which fans have messaged potential recruits, typically via Twitter, in the hopes of apparently swaying a recruit to their school. Each time it’s occurred, it’s mostly made me laugh. However, I came across this gem yesterday and it set me off a bit. On Twitter, an account with the name of UKbluewildcats sent elite 2011 power forward Quincy Miller, a prime target of UofL and UK, this message:

@qmillertime Hey don’t commit to UK bc we’d rather have Anthony Davis (future #1 player in the country) if you commit he might not

As most of you know, I represent the Louisville side of things for this site and any chance to make Big Blue nation look like morons is generally welcomed by me, however this is beyond that. This example shows how fans of many schools, not just Kentucky, take it way too far when it comes to contacting recruits. To be fair, UofL fans have messaged recruits recently as well, so don’t think I’m here to simply bash Kentucky.

I just don’t understand why idiots do this. I posed that question to Guy and he replied with the most accurate statement I have heard yet, “People with severely misguided passion and no sense of personal boundaries.” Sounds right on the money to me.

Recruits these days, particularly the top ranked guys, have so many people around them (parents, high school coaches, AAU coaches, runners, handlers, etc) who influence their decision, will a Tweet from a fan of a school they’re considering be a factor when it comes to making a decision? If you believe so, then you live on a different planet than I do.

In terms of the specific message posted above, let me say this. If it is indeed a UK fan sending that to Quincy Miller, you are a fool. On top of apparently thinking your message will affect Miller’s decision, you actually took time out of your day to contact a recruit on a social networking site, which is a NCAA violation by the way. What a moron.

That said, I’ve had some people offer the thought it could be a UofL fan setting up a fake Twitter account with the hopes of making UK look bad. If that’s the case, then it’s just as bad, if not worse. First, if that indeed occurred, some idiot spent even more time to set up a fake Twitter account, impersonated a UK fan (as a UofL fan, why would you ever do that?), then contacted a recruit, again a violation, with the apparent hopes of swaying that kid’s decision. Let me be clear, M.O.R.O.N.

Having said that, there is really not much that can be done about this from an enforcement perspective. While electronic correspondence with recruits is only allowed via email or fax, other types of contact such as messages via Facebook and Twitter is a complete gray area. On top of that, it is an extremely tough thing for schools to monitor.

Most compliance staffs are small in number. After scouring the interwebs, the most consistent range I found for a compliance staff is four to six, which could include one or two part-time employees. With all the other things compliance staffs are charged with in regards to checking on recruits, as well as the current student-athletes at their school, paying attention to Twitter of Facebook pages to see if a fan or two has possibly tried to recruit for the school doesn’t make the cut. The phrasiology of that last sentence alone should exemplify how complicated a process it would be.

Please do not take that to mean because it’s a gray area, go ahead and keep doing it. Sooner or later, the NCAA will act and like with most things the NCAA handles, they will probably screw it up. But do not be the moron who gets his school a violation because you had nothing better to do than look for recruits on Twitter and send them a message to try to steer them towards or away from your program.

There are so many things to do right now other than contact recruits. For instance, NCAA College Football ’11 just came out, play that. If you are not a video game person, The Office is on about eight hours a day now on various channels, watch those hilarious episodes and laugh at the awesome Dwight Schrute. If you don’t like video games or hilarious television programs, go to a local establishment and pick up some fine young lady. If none of those things appeal to you, I guess you could read a book. I recommend the Babar series, that little elephant cracks me up.

Whatever you do, do not be a moron and contact/harass recruits on Twitter or Facebook. Obtain a life, live it, and leave the recruiting up to the coaches.

Bryant did not have this big of a smile on his face when asked to lug around shoulder pads.

Dallas Cowboys rookie Dez Bryant has made more headlines lately than just being the initial first round pick to sign. This past week, Bryant tried to act like he wasn’t a rookie bi-otch by saying he would not carry the shoulder pads of older Cowboys’ receiver Roy Williams. After Williams’ performance last year, who could blame him?

Bryant was deemed a character risk by some coming out of Okie State, but it remains to be seen whether this situation is much ado about nothing, or the tip of the iceberg for another prima donna receiver. Whatever happened to the days of fraternity style hazing in training camps? Nothing like bringing a young, rich kid down to earth with some humiliating activities. Some of the Cowboys’ veterans should try the following tactics with Bryant:

Shotgun beers in dining hall
We all know Bryant is a freak physical specimen, but he can he take down a six-pack in a matter of minutes? I’m sure some of the Dallas offensive linemen could lend him a hand.

Jason Witten beat down
Back when Witten was a Tennessee Volunteer, he didn’t need 15 of his teammates to beat down a random dude, a la the 2010 team. He just dished out some southern justice on his own. After he supposedly came close to ripping out TO’s wind pipe a few years ago, Witten will probably have no problem showing Bryant what’s up if the rookie steps out of line.

Witten is apt go upside Bryant's head if the rook tries to get square on a teammate.

Propose to a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader
Hopefully, Bryant learned some of Deion Sanders’ womanizing methods when they hung out last year, visits that wound up costing Bryant his college eligibility. We’ll see if Bryant can run any game like he runs a crossing route.

Spray Pam on Bryant’s receiver gloves
Bryant made some phenomenal catches with the orange-clad Cowboys over the last few years, but a solid rookie prank would be to see if he can still catch with the slippery stuff all over his Nike gloves.

Before

“So, I’m gonna stick the lighter up my nose, there. Whatever.”

After

He cries like a lil’ baby and says, “I can’t smell anything”.

You do realize you just lit a lighter inside of your nose, right lil’ buddy?

Moran. Nice headband by the way.

Miller is in the process of writing a post talking about some of the more poisonous interactions between players (recruits specifically) and fans on new media outlets like Twitter and Facebook. I’ll let him go into detail, but it’s a crazy world out there and there are some fans who just don’t know how to act. Twitter and Facebook have left the NCAA and member school scrambling for this reason, but there’s really nothing they can do.

New media, at its worst, is a place where fans have way too much direct access and players have no filter between them and those fans. This is dangerous territory. Twitter and Facebook, at their best, is a place where fans and players can interact in a positive and unprecedented way.

Today, incoming UK freshman Terrence Jones provided a small example of how new media, Twitter in particular, can be a pretty cool thing. Fully aware of interested fans following him and in the mood for a little back and forth, Jones sent out this invitation to his followers: “If u ever come up with a question u should ask it!” Jones’ 7500+ followers responded. Some of those responses were likely inappropriate, but Jones picked out and answered some interesting questions.

For the sake of preserving my own grammatical sanity, I’m going to paraphrase questions:

On the jersey numbers of the UK freshmen…

“Enes – 0, D lamb 20, B Knight 12, me 3″

I already knew about Enes’ choice of #0 and I absolutely love it. He’s the first ‘Cat in history to wear the number (Delk was 00) and should be a one of a kind player as well. Also, Jones number choice means that Darnell Dodson will be sporting a new one next year.

On which game he is most looking forward to…

“EVERYGAME!”

I like the attitude, but I have a feeling his answer will change if UK matches up with Washington in Maui.

On what part of being a Wildcat he is most looking forward to…

“Playing in the dribble drive with my bros”

The DDM is really the perfect offense for a player with a skill set as diverse as Jones. Also, it’s good to hear he’s enjoying his teammates.

On if he misses playing with Terrence Ross and another teammate called “Hose Em Down Hosley…

“More hanging out then hoopin”

We all know that Ross almost lured Jones to Washington, so this is understandable. Based on how much Jones has talked about Doron Lamb on Twitter though, I think he has found a replacement.

On whether he is getting homesick coming from the Pacific Northwest…

“Lol not me I’m good out here”

On whether this year’s ‘Cats will shoot the ball better than last season…

“That’s what the coaches say”

I certainly hope they turn out to be right, and I think they will. With Lamb and Knight, UK has guards with range and a willingness to shoot. Plus, Jones has shown a nice lefty stroke and Kanter is a machine from mid-range.

On what position he will play…

“Where ever coach cal puts me won’t be the same every game”

Jones can really handle the ball, so expect to see him handling the ball on the perimeter quite a bit. Defensively, he will match up with fours most of the time, but probably will guard threes and even fives at times.

On if he has had a Super Ho from Tolly Ho yet…

“With the fry and strawberry shake haha”

On what it will be like to play in front of a hometown crowd in Portland…

“Lovely for my fam”

On his dream opponent in the National Title game…

“Wouldn’t matter that would be good enough”
