Ryan Adcock says he's just a guy with an acoustic guitar. But it's still rock and roll music he plays, he adds. "Stylistically, my music is not different from a lot of solo, acoustic, 24-year-old guys," Adcock says. "Lyrically, it's a little bit set apart. I have some unique thoughts rolling around in my head and spilling out through the microphone. " Adcock brings his thoughts and sounds to the Centre College campus Dec. 2. He says he got into playing the guitar when he was 8, but isn't sure what spurred him to pick up the instrument.

Cincinnati cornerback Mike Edwards, a four-star prospect, says he continues to “just wait out and enjoy the recruiting process” while contemplating where he'll eventually play his college football. The 5-11, 175-pound cornerback from Winton Woods High School has offers from schools such as Nebraska, Illinois, Vanderbilt, Louisville, Missouri, West Virginia and Kentucky. He's considered the No. 17 prospect in Ohio by Scout.com and the top cornerback prospect. Kentucky already has five verbal commitments from Ohio players in the 2014 recruiting class and there was speculation that Edwards was set to commit also only to have his high school coach and parents nix him committing to any school so early.

CINCINNATI (AP) - Brian Brohm threw three touchdown passes and made a gutsy, game-turning 51-yard completion Saturday night, rallying Louisville to a 28-24 victory over No. 15 Cincinnati.

Brohm's daring 51-yard completion to Harry Douglas set up the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter, completing a comeback that might have saved Louisville's season.

Drew Barker admitted six months ago that he didn't see any scenario where he would be coming to Kentucky after being ignored by former coach Joker Phillips and his staff. “But (Kentucky coach Mark Stoops and his staff) did a complete 180, and you can obviously see that by me committing to them today,” Barker said Friday after picking the Wildcats over South Carolina and Tennessee. Among the offers the Conner quarterback had were ones from Illinois, Louisville, Mississippi, Miami, Mississippi State, Purdue and Cincinnati.

LIBERTY - When The Psychedelic Furs play Buster's Billiards & Backroom in Lexington next Sunday, it will be a homecoming for Tim Butler. Which is a pretty remarkable thing to say, considering Butler grew up in England and spent the 1980s touring the world as co-founder and bass player for the Furs, a band that parlayed its punk beginnings in London into a string of international radio hits and gold records. “Pretty in Pink,” “Love My Way,” and “The Ghost in You” to name a few. But Butler has called Liberty home for four years now. He shares a modest house with his wife, Robyn, and her two children a block off the courthouse square.
