Kentuckians to embrace the Top 20
Business Plait. at yesterday‘s second
annual State of the (‘anipns address.

In front of a crowd gathered outside
the Main Building and in the Patterson
Office Tower Pla/a. Todd said the tour
is based on the color he hopes connects
the l'ls' community

"Kentucky blue is much more than

Starting Dec. ll. Lexington residents
will be able to purchase liquor on Srin-
da_vs and order alcoholic beverages in
restaurants and bars later into the night.
the l.c\ington-F'iycttc l'i‘ban County
('ouncil decided yesterday

In a MA vote. the council approved
an ordinance that expands Lexington‘s
current Sunday liquor laws to allow alco»
hol-by—the—drink and packaged alcohol
sales at all restaurants bars. iitiuor stores.
convenience stores and grocery stores.

(‘ouncil members .-\ndreaJames. Jay
McChord. Kev in Stinnctt and (ieorge
Myers voted against the ordinance.

“I still haven‘t seen a report of how
there will be economic impact." James
sttltl.

(‘onncilvvoman Linda (ioiton was not
at the meeting.

James. who represents the first disr-
n‘ict. asked the other council members to
look beyond economic reasoning and
think about families with alcoholics,

“A tew hours ol not being able to hn_v
liquor or buy a halt pint means a lot to
that family." she said.

.lanies' comment drew man) "anicns"
from the crowd. which consisted mostly
of opponents of the ordinance.

During the reading. James made a
motion to de|a_v the vote. saying it was a
"topic that needed longer discussion but
the motion failed.

(‘ontntunity members in favor of and
opposed to the ordinance w ere allowed to
choose one speaker on their behalf.

Many supporters of the ordinance be—
lievc the new law will allow Lexrngton to
become more competitive and bring in
more businesses.

“ This would make its more appealing.
It keeps its competitive with cities in
Kentuckv and beyond," said Renee .lack

"We have a huge campus. and our
goal is to reach all ends of it." Phelps
said. “Our goal is to reach as many
people as possible. and we‘re going to
keep our word."

Political science senior Katie Par-
rott said the event was an important op-
portunity for exposing students to the
faces of the administration.

“Students can feel that at times 50

It‘s no secret Reese Wither-

aren't into PDA. But their be»
havior at the Toronto lntema—
tional Film Festival on Septem»

There‘s good reason: After six
months of on»and—off dating. the
pair are kaput. "This is the
harshest split they‘ve had." a
source tells Hot Stuff. “Reese
told Jake it‘s best they don't talk
at all." Indeed. the costars stood
apart and rarely made eye con-
tact at the Rendition press con
ference. They remained distant
at the afterparty. where Wither»
spoon kept to herself and Gyl-
lenhaal chatted with his mom
and costar Peter Sarsgaard (sis-
ter Maggie's beau). But by ll
p.m.. when they hit the fete for
George (‘looncy's movie

melted: “They seemed like a
couple." an eyewitness tells Us.
"Reese was happy and having a
good time.” But the next mom-
ing. they left Toronto separately
She headed to L.A.: he flew to
NYC. Is it over for good?
"They‘re a rocky couple." says
one insider. “It would not be a
shock if they got back together."

she furrowed her brow and
replied, “I don‘t know. In Cali—

had time to adjust to the rela-

been a long time coming." But
that doesn‘t mean the former
sweethearts are feuding. Panet-

“He thinks it's hilarious." says a
source. Another source who has

"He‘s not crying or drinking. He
is normal." Good news, since it
seems Wilson’s wounds are
more emotional than physical.
Though sources (including his
attomey) have said the actor cut

with a watch, not bandages. on
that arm. (A source says Wilson
also took pills: his attomey said

Seniors ready to rise
against rivals

3.15th Lindsey
elindsey@kvkernel.cnm

For some UK players. this is it.

The lights of Commonwealth Stadium to-
morrow night will be their final stage. their final
chance to do it. It‘s either get a Will or get
shutout for the UK seniors.

Not a single player on UK‘s roster has ey er
beaten Louisville. and tor the seniors. like true
backer Wesley Woodyard. tomorrow‘s riyalry
game with the Cardinals is time for the (‘ats to
either put up or muule it.

“It‘s extremely important tto get a wiiii."
Woodyard said. "That's our riy'al. You w ant to
beat your rival every year. Lirii'ortunately for us
we haven‘t had a chance to beat them in the four
years I‘ve been here."

For Woodyard and the other seniors. the ri—
valry battle has been anything but close. With the
exception of a 31-24 U of L win in 2005. the
Cardinals have thoroughly dominated the (‘ats
during their four-game winning streak. something
the players constantly remember.

“I‘m sure they‘ll be
reminded like they

hate been

coach Rich Brooks
said. “They‘re re-

Quarterbacks

Very few quarterbacks in the nation have more
skill and experience than UK quarterback Andre
Woodson. One of those is Louisville quarterback
Brian Brohm. Although Woodson has a nation~best
213 consecutive passes without an interception, no
other quarterback has the pure talent and raw upside
that Brohm possesses. NFL scouts have been drool-
ing over the potential No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft
for years. and his 776 passing yards in two games
surely have not disappointed them.

 

Running Backs if m It DAILY.

U of L tailback Anthony Allen is one of the up
and coming running backs in the nation. After rush—
ing for a schoolvbest 275 yards last week against
Middle Tennessee State. UK's suspect run defense
has to be worried. But few teams in the nation have
the depth at running back that UK has. Rafael Little
and company continue to impress with their ninning
attack, and the emergence of freshman Derrick
Locke (five carries for 75 yards last week) gives the
Cats another explosive ball CiLITlCT.

Defensive Line

U of L‘s defensive line hasn't been spectacular so
far this season. recording only one sack in two
games. but UK's struggles on the offensive line
should increase that number. UK is hurting with the 73 (7"
loss of defensive tackle Ricky Lurnpkin. and if de— WM“!
fensive tackle Myron Pryor isn‘t able to play tomor- U
row (strained pectoral muscle). then the Cats will be
dangerously thin on the line.

Linebackers

Poor tackling has been a huge issue for L7 of L's
linebackers. (living up 554 yards of total offense
last week sits heavily on Cardinal linebackers. Led
by senior Malik Jackson. the Cardinals will have
their hands full against LiK‘s \ersatile offense. Cats~
linebacker Wesley Woodyard continues to be a tack-
ling—machine. leading the UK defense with 20 tack-
les.

Special Teams

The Cardinals have dangerous kickoff and punt
returners. U of L wide receiver .IaJuan Spillman av-
eraged 26.5 yards per return on kickoffs last year and
wide out Trent Guy has already returned a punt for a
touchdown this season. Last year's Lou Groza award
winner. An Carmody. is automatic when it comes to
field goals for the Cardinals. UK. after having one of
the best return games in the nation the past two
years. has done virtually nothing this year. On the
other hand. the Cats lead the Southeastem Confer-
ence in kickoff coverage. averaging just over 50 net
yards per kickoff. which could limit the U of L re-
turn game.

Receivers

This battle is almost too close too call. The
freakish size of U of L wide receiver Mario Urrutia
and the blazing speed of wide out Harry Douglas is

s a deadly combination on the outside. Add

A Louisville‘s newfound tight end play and it‘s easy to

[Ell/Wilt I see why the Cardinals have the No. 4 passing of—

fense in the nation. On UK's side of the ball. expect

Louisville native Keenan Burton to have another big

game against U of L. The senior wide out caught

four passes for 98 yards in 2005 and four receptions

for 127 yards and one touchdown last year against
the Cardinals.

Secondary

Broken coverage was a big reason why the Car—
dinals allowed 42 points last week to a team that
scored just 14 the week before. A key matchup will
be between U of L comerback Rod Council. the Car-
dinals most experienced defensive back. and Burton.
the Cats most reliable receiver. UK‘s pass defense
has been surprisingly good so far. giving up a measly
100 yards per game in the air. The sixth best pass de-
fense will surely get a test this week against the No.
l offense in the country. UK will also be aided by
the return of free safety Marcus McClinton after a

Offensive Line

Simply put. the U of L offensive line doesn‘t al-
low sacks. Led by juniors Eric Wood and George
Bussey. the U of l. offensive line is huge up front
and has been instrumental in protecting Brohm
throughout his career. Questions concerning the UK
offensive line might have started to turn into con-
cerns after last week‘s performance against Kent
State. The offensive line gaye up four sacks in the
first half against the Golden Flashes. and Kent State
defenders were constantly in Woodson's face.

Overall

This game should be every bit as excit-
ing as advertised. Both teams feature high-
tTying offenses and mediocre (at bestl dc-
fenses. Woodson and the Cats will put up

plenty of points on the scoreboard but so
will Brohm and the Cardinals, Turnovers
will be huge in this game because neither
team will be able to stop the other's offense.
