Comes now the "Calipari to (fill in the blank NBA team)" talk we hear every year at one point or another. All I can say about this is that Calipari appears content at Kentucky, he seems to be enjoying his work, is already independently wealthy many times over, and seems unlikely to jaunt off to try to resuscitate a failing NBA franchise that has more management issues that General Motors.
My money is on Calipari turning down an offer, if it is made. Those of you prone to hand-wringing may now begin your "Calipariz to NBA NO!! ZOMG!!!", and give the rest of us something to smile about.
Tweet of the Morning:
Knicks rumored to be interested in Calipari. Not happening. Why would he want to coach a team with less talent than the one he has now?

Technically, this was yesterday, but I thought it was not only funny, but incisive.

This season's Wildcats are impressive on the offensive glass. This team reminds me of a combination of 2009-10 and 2010-11. Ah, what could have been...

Dawg Sports says that you need to watch all the football you can, because it's coming to an end. Good point. As UK fans, we know this well, but unlike most SEC schools, we relish the prospect.

It's a GIF duel, and two more worthy competitors do not exist. Cuppycup vs. LSUFreek.
