As a lifelong blueblook University of Kentucky Wildcats fan, I heartily welcome our new coach John Calipari to the program!!

To all the Memphis fans, sincere thanks for the University's allowing UK to talk to coach Calipari and allow him to realize a dream of his, and for all the support you gave him and his family during his tenure there and in the wake of this decision of his. You are truly classy fans, and I will always be rooting alongside you, except of course when you play us.

Go Big Blue! take your pick which one. :)

And if he doen't get the program back to the final four in three years, UK will fire him and go after the next flavor of the year. Calipari's a great coach and a great recruiter, but let's face it, if this year's Memphis team was in the Big East, The ACC or the Big 12, they'd have finished in third place in the division at best...

Good luck, Kentucky, we all hope to see you back in the Tornament soon.

But let's face it, 3rd place in the Big East, ACC or Big XII this year (and most years) wins the SEC...

not just a great recruiter, quite possibly the best ever! he will have UK back in a final 4 within 3 years.

looks like he will be bringing he two top recruits with him to Lexington. that should have an immediate impact. No doubt Kentucky will be back to elite status is a year or so.

The only reason I used to like UK was because of Tubby Smith, and now he's gone. I still like them, though. Jodie Meeks was awesome this year.

What about Memphis recruits now?

Xavier Henry may not go to Memphis now. Xavier, if you're reading this, come to Kansas! Join Elijah Johnson, Thomas Robinson and possibly Lance Stephenson - come to Kansas and win a title.

Man that's a lot of money...At least he doesn't have to worry about Memphis' free throw coach anymore...Lol. I still love Memphis though, but man they ruined my bracket for two straight years... I hope they're still good without Calipari.

    • Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing 
    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
