Unless you live under a mushroom – cut off from tv, radio, newspapers, web sites, and the loud celebratory singing I’ve been doing - you know that the greatest coach in the country, John Calipari, is coming to the University of Kentucky!!! In fact, the whole drama leading up to Coach Cal coming (Is he coming, is he staying??) is the reason I’ve been missing in action on this blog for about a week.
Sorry, but it’s hard to type when your nose is pressed against the tv screen while one ear is turned to sports radio. There was also the issue of my laptop refusing to bring up any page except ESPN.
I bleed blue, you see, and this is beyond HUGE to all of us UK fanatics.
I’ve actually wanted Calipari at UK since Pitino left. (Loved him too, you know.) When Tubby left, I was screaming Coach Cal’s name from the mountain top – so when they went with whatshisname, I fell off of that mountain top and rolled to the bottom. Kind of like we fell off of college basketball’s radar! And the rankings, and the newspapers, and the tournament….
I remember back then, when the news was announced that they’d hired Gillespie, I kept asking my husband, “Who is he?? Why him?? Are they crazy??” He told me where he came from, what he’d done, and that, yes, possibly they were crazy.
Eh, that’s all in the past now and the sun is definitely coming up on the horizon. And the beautiful thing is, it’s blue!
Cue the dance music, baby.
P.S. The dancing figure insisted that I create a category for UK Basketball again (yes, yes, I deleted it halfway through Gillispie Gate) AND he suggested I create a category for Coach Cal. Check!
