ukp wire story:
In a surprise announcement by the Vatican today, the Pope called University of Kentucky President Lee Todd and requested that he send Head Coach John Calipari to the Vatican immediately. The Pope appealed to President Todd that if John Calipari could raise 1 million in Kentucky in one afternoon, he could possibly erase all negativity in the world, and usher in a new era of peace and prosperity. The Pope also requested that Calipari bring his players along for an impromptu game of pickup basketball so that the group would have something to do in the afternoon after they solve all the world's problems. The Cats will be using their standard starting lineup, while the Pope has called in some help for the Vatican in the game. Their starting 5 will include, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell and Jerry West, all of whom will have their physical status, (or lack thereof) reconstituted to their playing days. As of this morning the oddsmakers have the Cats favored by 4.
Post game activities include a walking on water lesson by John Wall, Patrick Patterson will hold a lecture on why it is better to be a Wildcat than to be Pope, and Demarcus Cousins will regale the crowd with stories of how he outrebounded Russell and Chamberlain, while out trash talking Jordan at the same time. Coach Cal will give a "Bounce Back" seminar to the Pope and all guests that would like to attend. When asked about whether or not he was really approached about becoming the next Pope, Calipari was quoted as saying, "Who me, I'm only 10-8, who would want me as Pope?"
On a more serious note.....is there ANYTHING that this guy cannot do?? To raise that much money on a Sunday afternoon like you are having dinner with the family at home is simply amazing. The man not only continues to amaze me, he did 2 or 3 interviews while the Telethon was going on, where all he could talk about was how much everything he gave to the world was coming back to him 10-fold. If anyone is in doubt about just how much we needed someone like Cal at UK, all they have to do is look at that one act to know he is indeed exactly what we needed.......and then some.

keep 'em comin'
the video/movie of your story is rushing thru my head, we could make a it “short” or feature length…have somebody like Dan Brown build it up into one of his fabulous plots…even take it to the ancient answers we have all been searching for, tie in some bad guys like Ricky P…you know the Pope can’t be happy with him right now…let’s go with this one some more!!!

Yeah, Calipari will bail out some 3rd world country's economy in the sequel too.....lol.....
You know, I wonder if he could fix the state’s budget shortfall?
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
You sure it isn't the other way around?
I would think being the basketball coach at Kentucky would certainly be more recognized that the Pope/
I have be correctly accused of having a 'football fetish'. You know, someone who doesn't think football is the warm up sport to basketball season.
Well, Calipari is actually kind of shy and retiring......he didnt want to make the Pope feel bad on his home court
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
In other news.....
Rick Pitino has been summoned by Larry Flynt to help save the porn industry. After the downturn in the economy and porn being so widespread on the internet, the porn mogul has turned to who he claims is the “white knight” that will save them all. Whether it is because of his ever slicked back hair, low standards, or his poor choice of venues, I am not sure. One thing is for certain, if anyone is sleazy enough to answer the call, it has to be Slick Rick. Rick has also announced that Tiger will be his second.
While this might not be as uplifting and inspirational as ABC’s post, I find it funny and like to kick the scumbag when he is down as much as I can.
oooo!!!
that’s an interesting phrasiology!!!
i was thinking we could have the players help Cal with all the science/history parts in the storyline and of course Ms.Judd would be the female interest, she’s kicked some butt in some of her films too…Pitino leaving UK for the NBA, would have set off the whole thing about UK’s Legacy being stolen and buried deep in the caverns of Duke or NC by those powerful NCAA guys for the so-called “second coming” of Pitino to Kentucky, but Cal/Hanks had messed up his directions and he landed in the horrible place by the Ohio River…so, REVENGE is brewing over these last few years and the Pope has decided that the Evil Pitino has to be stopped…so he calls Cal/Hanks to the Vatican and…

con't
the plot thickens with all the boys slamming the dunks and blocking all the haters in their quest to help Cal/Hanks bring the ancient prize back home to the Bluegrass…
now that the Universe is nearing being set upright again with UK on top of the College Hoops and Cal/Hanks spreading all of the goodness that is in him, all of the naysayers and UK haters will be dealt with in a proper manner with good taste and excitement with our 8th National Championship Banner hanging in Rupp blowing gently in the breeze…Cal/Hanks, with a wave good-bye to Ashley, as she climbs into the racecare with her hubby, Cal/Hanks returns home to his lovely wife and gives her a big, big hug…our Big Blue Hero, home at last!!!…safe and sound and happy!!!

I don't know about the Pope..

Official title?
Absolutely an official title. There is also a Philadelphia Association. My Grandfather, and others like him, have spread that church far and wide. One of the Oldest Churches in Kentucky.

I didnt mean to make it sound like I was making fun....but that has to be the longest

with all the confusion regarding the location of eastern ky on asob..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9GebvRJlxs You might find this link interesting! Also;(from the wiki:) The strength of Old Regular Baptists is in Appalachia, particularly along the Kentucky and Virginia border, although Old Regular Baptist churches exist as far north as Michigan and as far south as Florida and several churches still exist in the state of Washington. Currently there are seventeen local associations:These seventeen associations and independent bodies [not lettered to an association] contain over 350 churches with over 10,000 members. The folk singer Jean Ritchie was a member of the Old Regular Baptists in Kentucky

Ya'll are TOO FUNNY!!!
I nearly peed my pants reading all this.
In my head Al Pacino represented Slick Rick in this little scenario!!! Could also have Heidi Fleiss as the wife of his assistant coach played by Drew Cary!!!
to UKfan4ever
i’m thinking you should head the tryouts for this movie!!!…you know they’ll be knocking the doors down for any of the illustrious roles…but our “boys” will have to play their own parts!!!
