Eric Crawford -  All right, we're back. No advertising, no fanfare, just an hour of stuff. Welcome to any and all.

Eric,
10:01
Eric Crawford -  Lots of stuff in the air right now. John Wall news broke today. Spent the afternoon at U of L basketball practice and in their squad scrimmage. U of L football.

[Comment From Steve]
Heard that Samardo, lost 18 pounds. How does he look?
10:02
Eric Crawford -  Samardo looked good. Ran the floor as well as anybody today in a 40-minute scrimmage with few subs.

Eric, I don't understand how I had to read about the John Wall story on ESPN. What do you and Rick do all day that national reporters get the scoop before you two do when it's in your own backyard. Is it because it's about UK?
10:05
Eric Crawford -  DLM. I spent six years as the U of L beat writer. I got scooped on a few stories, but not many. That's not my gig now. ESPN gets stories.

And, just to clarify, I work in Louisville. The story is in Lexington. But point taken. We have broken plenty of stories about UK. In fact, the Claude Bassett money order story was broken by The C-J. I know because I had Tim Thompson's house staked out for about three days. But again, that was in my days as a beat reporter.

Anyway, today is the first I heard of it. But again, the day-to-day reporting and investigating of UK is not my job.

[Comment From Bennett]
Was the stadium expansion for PJCS a mistake?
10:06
Eric Crawford -  Nope. Absolutely not. I think it will add revenue for U of L in the long run. And it may open the door to drawing some bigger name opponents in there.

[Comment From Craig]
I heard about this Wall thing today and one guy blamed it on Coach Cal... But didn't this occur while Billy G was the coach?
