I want to wish everyone in the Big Blue Nation a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. During this special time of the season, I wanted to write to you, our fans, to remind you how lucky we all are and to remember what this time of the year is about.
Wow! Are people really making a big deal out of the fact that I don’t look at my website? Do you realize that I already know what’s on my website, my Twitter, my Facebook, and my TV and radio shows?
I had some time this week to think about our teams, past and present, and what I came to realize is every year our kids play hard and we have a good culture.

Tonight on my radio show I was asked about knocking one head off the three-headed monster of North Carolina, Indiana and Louisville. My response, although animated, was not in anger.
In honor of my mother, I would like to pass that gift on to you today. Dream big. Don’t let anything hold you back.
