Worldwide Wes and Calipari don't seem to be as connected by the NCAA as they are by the journalists and bloggers…and, of course, the fans in-the-know. Wonder why considering WWW's visibility with Memphis

Sounds like a little lack of institutional control at the Calipari residence.

Ha! I love it. Pat Forde is a gem of a writer and no one knows Kentucky basketball like him. His thoughts on/about coach Cal and the big Blue should be required reading for any wildcat fan (or Calipari family member.) I wonder what Erin has to say about the mess her daddy left at UMass and now Memphis…

I also wondered that, until I realized she is the less-hot Calipari daughter.

“……by the time the N.C.A.A. quietly announced last spring that it would no longer accept scores from Laurinburg Prep, the school that helped nearly half of Calipari’s Memphis players qualify for scholarships, Calipari had stopped sending recruits there. A Laurinburg student once said that at midyear a school janitor was promoted to history teacher.” NYTimes. June 1

Pat, what is your take on the William Wesley connection with college coaches?

I think IU has a shot at beating KY this year. You will have two young teams but playing at home should help. Won't be a blowout like this year….

I think it would be funny to see the blue nation's comments and questions from the live blog chat. It amazes me how blind people can be when it is at the expense of winning. It reminds me of a couple of years ago with a certain denimshirted (yeah, I just made that word up) guy who had an overacheiving year then drove our beloved program into oblivion. Makes you wonder where our program could be had it hired Coach Crean (rumor was, he was interested) before the denimshirted fellow (whose name is unprintable and therefore would be censored as profanity on this site). Good luck UK fans (including Ashley Judd, to whom I hold no ill will), get to know the NCAA officials well, well that's going to happen anyway.
