It's not supposed to be like Anchorage, Alaska here in Kentucky. This is the coldest winter in over a decade.

Don't let this happen to you. My assistant has been out for over a week from a broken wrist received from a similar fall. Be careful out there.

Your Quickies:

Kentucky football

• I give my thoughts about Damien Harris' decommitment from Michigan to SB Nation's Maize n Brew. I don't think Kentucky is going to be interesting to this kid. You never know, of course, Stoops can sell refrigerators to Eskimos and all that. I think this is more like selling a Ford Pinto to a NASCAR driver at the moment, though.

• More on the Kendall Randolph commitment.

• This headline is priceless.

Kentucky basketball

• Love for Alex Poythress from Jerry Tipton. Sort of, anyway.

• Wille Cauley-Stein's struggles give Dakari Johnson an opening. I'd say he's driving through it like an overloaded semi.

• Julius Randle and Russ Smith both make Wooden Award watch list. Congrats to both.

• This is awesome.

• Former Wildcat Tony Delk has been tabbed as UK's SEC Basketball Legend and will be honored at the SEC Tournament in Atlanta this year.

• Tar Heel blog says Rashad Vaughn is considering UNLV, Iowa St. and Kentucky most strongly. I hope he's right.

Other Kentucky sports

• Kentucky softball tickets are on sale, and the UK softball team is starting the year ranked #12 in all the land, highest ever.

• Georgia set to hire a new defensive coordinator — Kevin Sherrer of South Alabama.

College basketball

  Amen.

• Wanna be a billionaire at Warren Buffett's expense? Pick a perfect NCAA Tournament bracket.

• The NCAA says that North Carolina is the best college basketball state. I think they're wrong. UNC, Duke and NC State have 11 championships. Kentucky and Louisville alone have that many.

• Poor Georgetown, they're just so... pitiful.

• Good.

• Well, this kind of happened to us as well, so there's not a lot of schadenfreude to be found here.

Other sports news

• So, there's Hal Mumme, and then there's everyone else. It's his world ...

• 15-year old Maggie Voisin is set to make the Olympic team in something called "slopestyle skiing."
