There's a post out there that Billy Donovan has interest in the Kentucky job. Would Billy Donovan make BBN happy? For the record, that's one coach on my list that I could get excited about.

Personally, I think there’s a narrative being spun by other coaching staffs to damage Kentucky’s recruiting and try to poach current players. I’m happy to have Coach Stoops and @vincemarrow in Lexington.

I wouldn’t normally come to X with this, but my 2-day old baby is currently in surgery at UK. Long story short, he has a rare (1 in 5,000) birth defect. It’s not considered life threatening but must be fixed to have a normal life. Success rate is 90%. Appreciate any prayers.

Update: surgery completed with 100% success. The red on his face is just a reaction to surgical tape. He is breathing on his own and doing great (no ventilator required). It feels like this is the first good news we’ve had in like 72 hours so it’s such a blessing. 🙏

I don't understand how any Kentucky fan watched that game tonight and isn't absolutely ecstatic. Yes, they let off the gas a bit, but it's hard to give max effort when you're up 30 for most of the game. I haven't been this excited about a team's potential for years.
