I have no words. I think this is supposed to be congratulating Wichita St., but really, this might as well have been written in Cyrillic. But I gather she's excited!

Your Quickies:

• Mikel Horton is the talkative sort, and he's ready for some football!

• From the horse's mouth:

  UK's High Performance program is legit. I made major strides in 1 year, imagine what you could do in 4. Perfect place to be great. #CometoUK

• Washington DC is now an area that Stoops & Co. are focusing on for recruiting.

Kentucky football

• Andrew Harrison is now doing the little things to help Kentucky win. I think this is right. He is getting closer, and is on a path remarkably similar to Marquis Teague.

Kentucky basketball

• Julius Randle now national Player of the Week, awarded by the US Basketball Writers Association, and also Freshman of the Week.

• UK assistant coaches watch 2015 power forward Carlton Bragg.

Other Kentucky sports

• UK Softball Notebook. The Wildcats fall to #8 in the national rankings after dropping back-to-back games against Kent St. and Michigan.

• Bat Cats trounce Kent St. 7-1 in the Wildcats' home opener. The game with Dayton tonight is postponed and will be rescheduled due to inclement weather.

College football

• SBNation's Steve Muma ranks every non-conference football schedule for 2014. Kentucky is neither in the top ten best nor the top ten worst. In fact, UK is firmly mid-pack.

College basketball

• Interesting:

  Was asked this question so I looked it up. Florida has won at Tenn., Ky and Vandy only once in same season -- 1985.

  Florida fans will swear this is important. I don't agree.

• Wichita St. makes history winning 30 regular-season games.

• Are post-game handshakes outdated? No. Next question.

Other sports news

• Eric Bledsoe is playing 3-on-3 in his knee rehab. He's getting close.

Other news

• Congratulations to Dr. Erin Calipari.

• 7 foods that were supposed to be incredibly unhealthy, but aren't. I can't wait until Four Roses Single Barrel makes this list.
