Gomez here...
As we pass the long hours to gametime, I thought I'd break down the past couple of polls we've had here at BBNR. The participation in our polls has continued to increase, and we certainly appreciate you getting involved. Here's what you had to say...
A couple of weeks ago, just before the new uniforms were revealed, we asked if you were in favor of black away jerseys. I have to admit, I was surprised by the results...
1.) No, only blue! (54%)
2.) Yes! (35%)
3.) I don't care (10%)
I really liked the black jerseys that we wore last year, and would love to see something similar to those worn again in the future. I wouldn't be in favor of wearing those exclusively, but the occasional black jersey would be pretty cool. However, most of you think we should stay with the traditional blue, and that's fine with me too. Like I said, if I had to chose one or the other, I'd go blue, but every now and then, a little black wouldn't hurt anything.
The other question we asked was somewhat of a no-brainer: Who should win the SEC coach of the year award? Here were the top 5...
1.) John Calipari (90%)

1.) John Calipari (90%)
2.) John Pelphrey (4%)
3.) Kevin Stallings (3%)
4.) Mark Fox (2%)
5.) Bruce Pearl (1%)
Even though we're a Kentucky site (and therefore biased towards the blue) its hard to argue against what Cal has accomplished during his first season at Kentucky. Just one year removed from a failed NIT bid, Kentucky is 26-1, ranked #2, and positioned for a number one seed. No coach in the SEC has anything near that kind of turn around, so I fully expect Cal to win the big awards at season's end.
Keeping our blue bias going, we ranked Pelphrey second. We might have been able to make a case for Pelphrey's work a week or two ago, but now, the Hawgs have lost 3 of their last 4, including a loss to lowly LSU, and Pelphrey is once again on the hot seat. I hate to say it, because I love the guy, but he might be on his way out, and without another solid run, has little chance to win the coach of the year award.

Anyway, that's what you had to say about all of that, and now, we've a got a new poll for you to vote on... so let your voice be heard, Big Blue Nation!
