Hey, I resemble this. I did write, and I did complain fairly loudly and repeatedly in the Quickies and other comments. I guess it was heard somewhere!

RT @FXA5: Happy birthday to my least favorite basketball player of all-time @boogiecousins >>> lol thanks

How can the Big Cuz be anybody’s least favorite player? It just boggles the mind.

Happy birthday, big guy.

KSR: Statewide poll says John Calipari has an 86% approval rating, Rick Pitino 89% http://t.co/HBn1TLlicV #BBN

What I want to know is what the contrarians are expecting/want? Probably has to do with the "one and done" thing. Some people are just so low-information and either counter-intellectual or hyper-intellectual that you can’t convince them of anything.

Interesting. ESPN The Magazine has UK #54 overall and UL #50

Well, that is interesting! Don’t tell the SEC — they don’t think anybody not in the SEC deserves to be ranked anywhere.

@ASeaOfBlue wait till we beat them this year... That number will cut in half

Yeah, that might… you know… tick it down a notch or three!

To those who criticize John Calipari: Today, on their day off in the Bahamas, he took his team not to the beach, but to do charity work.

I don’t think this needs exposition.

How much would a Kentucky booster pay to dump a bucket of ice water on Pitino's head? And vice versa for UL and Calipari? I bet six figures

— Rob Dauster (@RobDauster) August 13, 2014

Sounds like a perfect charity idea! What about it, guys?

So Calipari can do this too? pic.twitter.com/oVUaVyEEXp

Yeah. Not very well, though — I got seasick when they showed his camera. He may be a great coach, but I hope he’s not thinking about quitting for becoming a camera guy.

New UK women's commitment Taylor Murray is ranked #11 overall by Prospects Nation, #27 by ESPN and #30 by All-Star Girls report.

Matthew Mitchell just keeps loading them up. Be sure to read Jords’ latest here.

That’s all I have for now, ladies and gentlemen of the Big Blue Nation. This week so far has been awesome, and suddenly, the weather has decided to come from mid-September instead of mid-August here in the Bluegrass. I’m going out for a long walk.
