Today is truley one of the happiest days I have had as a UK fan.  I am so proud of the Administration for the decision they have made today to bring Calipari to UK.  I have listened to many people take shots at Barnhart that he does not care enough about basketball, and this day does show that he cares and he understands the importance of what it means to the people of Kentucky.

The pep rally that is to come will be one of the most exciting moments at UK and I know that the outpouring of support will be unbelievable.

Dick Vitale talked about this being a grandslam, and I don’t know that there is a better way to describe this hire.C

Coach Calipari sent a text message to Andy Katz saying, “I am accepting the UK job! Go Big Blue, coach Cal.”

Next up will be a press conference at 9:30 tomorrow morning.
