That’s so awesome! Gotta be a meme.

Your Quickies:

Kentucky football

• Former Kentucky and Western Kentucky assistant Greg Nord is bound for Jim McElwain’s staff at Florida.

• Damien Harris talks about his relationship with Alabama commitments. He also says that Neal Brown’s move to Troy doesn’t matter:

  “I’ve got a close relationship with enough coaches at Kentucky where it doesn’t affect me at all,” he said.

  Fingers, toes, etc. crossed…

Kentucky basketball

• Jerry Meyer evaluates UK’s chances with the remaining five stars for 2015, currently having none of them picked to go to UK. I can almost (almost, mind you), guarantee he’s wrong about that.

Other Kentucky sports

• Linnae Harper has a big game, leads Kentucky to victory over Ole Miss.

College football

• It appears that Vince Marrow is not the only person to resist Michigan:

  REPORT: Shannon Turley to stay at Stanford and not accept #Michigan position, per @LombardiESPN http://t.co/tPhNmgvJGL

• And this:

  Put me in the camp that thinks Harbaugh is great and will succeed. But he's having a tougher than expected time getting top assistant picks.

College basketball

• Poor Louisville fans. Just when they were getting used to hating Chris Jones, he goes and pulls their fat out of the fire in their first ACC game at Wake Forest. Honestly, he looked like an all-American in that game.

  Me, I’m just glad they didn’t mess up our pretty RPI. And their Egyptian looked pretty much like an Egyptian in that game. Meanwhile, Rob Dauster thinks Jones has finally received the message Rick Pitino has been trying to send him.

• Utah curb-stomps UCLA, which takes all the shine off our victory over them. I really can’t blame Bruins fans for being beside themselves. Utah is pretty good, but they are no Kentucky.

• Ground control to Tekele Cotton — you’re approach angle is a little steep.

• NBC has Utah in their top ten this week after the UCLA debacle.

Other sports news

• We see you, Archie Goodwin:

  Meanwhile, Zito Madu explains to Jonas Valanciunas why you shouldn’t be a hero.

• The Lakers can’t let Goodwin poster go unanswered:

• Controversy in the Detroit-Dallas playoff game.

• Julius Randle is going to have surgery on his repaired foot to replace the screw that was put in during high school.

• Lenovo unveils new Thinkpad lineup for 2015. I am very partial to Thinkpads, although I wish they were still under the IBM banner.
