Official Billy Donovan watch thread...

Sloppy, as a native Kentuckian, I hate to bash on people from my own state. But the people on the UK and UofL Rivals network do as much as they can to accurately portray the stereotype of Kentuckians that it's embarrassing.

And, BTW, TAMU insiders and ESPN"s Pat Forde are reporting that Gillispie will take the UK job, maybe as soon as tomorrow. I wish he'd hold off til Monday. Him taking the job tomorrow means I'm in the news room ALL DAY tomorrow. I was really looking forward to a Keeneland afternoon and a big-time SEC series (UK vs. Tennessee) night.

Oh well.

 

Damn, this went down eight minutes after I went to bed? Booo to that! Pat Forde, you are a stud. TAMU, you guys are fucking stupid for not getting him to sign that contract and let him look around.

 

Gillispie could have signed the deal at 10 am and if UK wanted to talk to him an hour later it would not have mattered...

 

Damn, CJ, today is opening day at Keeneland. Sucks to be you.

Wish I could go in your place. I have a cute little outfit I could wear...fit in with all the sorority girls. I used to always try to go on opening and closing day for Keeneland...Again, best three weeks of the spring and fall.

 

Yeah, Gillispie seems like he has a lot of Petrino in him.

 

Exactly. Contracts aren't exactly iron-clad when it comes to coaches. See Huggins, Bob.

 

While I wholeheartedly declared my candidacy for the Alabama football job, I want no part of UK basketball. Those people are batshit.

 

Wow... You'll come to Bama but not Kentucky?? That's seriously screwed up..
