Big Blue Nation
INSIDE: Kentucky Sports Radio's Matt Jones watched Coach's latest video pleading for Big Blue Nation to breathe deep and realize that UK is still No. 2 until further notice. To put it lightly, he's not buying it
In his last portion of the un-chaperoned tour of Coach Calipari's office, Kentucky Sports Radio's Matt Jones gets comfy. A bit too comfy, in fact.
For those of you who may have been living in a cave (and thus unable to hear the sultry sounds of Dick Vitale’s voice at any given moment), I will remind you that this is a big weekend. Yes dear friends, it is time for the battle with North Carolina.
As you read this, our beloved Cats are in Cancun, drinking bottled water, enjoying the great weather and hopefully putting lots of sunscreen on Josh Harrellson. But back on the mainland, we are preparing for Thanksgiving, and a chance to spend some time in reflection for all the good we have and the gifts we have been given.
The closing moments of the game Monday night in Rupp Arena reminded me of some of the great nights we have seen over the years: Close game. . . tension-filled. . .both teams playing hard. . . and a magical ending that sees the Cats win at the end. You could have closed your eyes and imagined it was Louisville in 1987, LSU in 1990 or Florida in 2009, with all the energy present in the storied building throughout the game’s last minutes.
Goodbye. . . To the Pre-Season. Hello, Regular Season - and the Match-ups That Make it Special.
As some of you may have already heard, we are welcoming a new contributor to Coach Cal.com beginning today as Matt Jones of Kentucky Sports Radio debuts his first offering below.
With Matt joining us and Tom Leach already on board, we feel like we have two of the most powerful voices - literally and figuratively - in all of Big Blue Nation helping to add to the quality content we have already been providing since our launch in July.
We think you'll enjoy the perspective, insight and entertainment value provided by both Tom and Matt and we look forward to letting both spread their wings here as the weeks and months ahead unfurl.
