I know there’s been much speculation about me and my job situation the last couple of days. It’s true I was contacted about a potential opportunity this weekend, but after celebrating a big win against our rivals with players I love like family, I knew in my heart I couldn’t- Basketball school? I thought we competed in the SEC? #4straightpostseasonwins"This is a basketball school. Alabama is a football school. So is Georgia. No disrespect to our football team. I hope they win 10 games and go to bowls. But this is a basketball school." John Calipari wants his practice facility ASAP. theathletic.com/3498423/2022/0…
- Praying for a dear friend, @Coach_Leach, today. Mike will always be a part of the Big Blue Nation from his time here in Lexington. Our thoughts and prayers are with him, his wife Sharon, their four kids and the entire Mississippi State family.
- Thanks to everyone for the congratulations regarding Coach of the Year! I am humbled and reminded of what we talked about since we arrived at UK -- it takes all of us, and I'm so grateful to the players, coaches, administrators and great fans who made this possible. Go Cats!Congratulations to @UKCoachStoops on being named the 2018 @AP SEC Coach of the Year! He is the first UK coach to earn that honor since Jerry Claiborne in 1983. #GetUp
- Feeling is mutual..I Love you my man!
- We are heartbroken for Jared’s family and friends. Since I’ve been here, it has been obvious that he was one of the most popular players in school history. He was a proud member of the Kentucky football family and he will be greatly missed by the Big Blue Nation.We lost a great one too soon today. Our hearts are with the Lorenzen family. We love you, 22.
- Thank you for recognizing Chris. Class move!
- I would like to wish @UKCoachCalipari and his family well in their new endeavor. We spent 11 years working together and I really appreciate all they did for UK and the Commonwealth.
- I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my coach and mentor, Hayden Fry. He had a profound effect on the Stoops family, helping Bob, Mike and me grow as young men and then influence us in our coaching careers. Heartfelt sympathies go out to Coach Fry’s family and friends.
- What do we do for an encore? #Bringit
- Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Louisville football program and the family of Dexter Rentz.
- Well, aren’t you already 40 years old? You still don’t look as good as me. 😂If i can look this good when I’m 85 I’ll be a happy man💙
