Thank you Cameron. I am so tired of the naysayers or, as my mom used to say, “the negative Nellies”!!!

[CAMERON MILLS @CameronMillz]

What???? This isn’t what Facebook, Twitter, podcasts, radio, blogs and newspapers have been saying. I thought we had a terrible offseason recruiting.

[Jeff Hoover @buckethoover]

I am so tired of hearing “this is one Pope had to get”. Come on folks. The presentation, the recruiting pitch, the process, and the sales job @CoachMarkPope did in recruiting Milan was EXACTLY the same if Milan had decided to go elsewhere. Thankfully, he chose @KentuckyMBB

Happy Birthday, Kentucky! 🎉

From Louisville to Jamestown, we’re proud to call the Bluegrass State home. Today we celebrate Kentucky’s rich history, strong communities, and the people who make it great.

Here’s to the Commonwealth we love—today and every day. 💙

@adamhedelen @Braves But my Cubbies are 🔥🔥. Six in a row!!

[Jeff Hoover @buckethoover]

@JRVanHoose J.R. Watch the MAGA “evangelicals” now rush to Trump’s defense, claim this was all an innocent mistake being misinterpreted by all who are not MAGA and the liberal media. Guarantee you one in Lexington is already defending him

[Jeff Hoover @buckethoover]

Slam dunk here by Coach Mark Pope. Thank you! Never ceases to amaze me the criticism and the “negativity” created by some who are (1) trying to capitalize on frustration of fans and (2) barely know the difference between a basketball and a volleyball

[Keith Taylor @keithtaylor21]

Mark Pope on BBN
"Here's the thing, we can get confused sometimes. So there is a super, super vocal like, 1% a point 1% but they're incredibly vocal and and a lot of is wrapped around trying to get hits and looks and bites and listeners. And then there's the 99% of BBN that is in this as true believers. They love this program, they're cheering their guts out. They're living and dying for our guys. They want nothing more for for this progress to continue to for us to get to another banner, and they're doing everything they can to help the program, not hurt the program. ... everybody I meet and we meet, a lot of people post game lines around town. Everybody that I see BBN like the true BBN, they are so in this they are so praying for us to be successful. That's different than when I talk about the people that are just trying to capitalize off, you know, putting out negative about 20 seconds...."

[George W. Bush Presidential Center @TheBushCenter]

Statement by President George W. Bush on Robert Mueller:

"Laura and I are deeply saddened by the loss of Robert Mueller. Bob dedicated his life to public service. As a Marine in Vietnam, he proved he was ready for tough assignments. He earned a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart before returning home to pursue law. In 2001, only one week into the job as the 6th Director of the F.B.I., Bob transitioned the agency mission to protecting the homeland after September 11. He led the agency effectively, helping prevent another terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Laura and I send our heartfelt sympathy to his wife of nearly 60 years, Ann, and the Mueller family."

I don’t always agree with @KySportsRadio, but here Matt is absolutlely right!

[Matt Jones @KySportsRadio]

Anyone who celebrates when people die has an empty soul. It was true when Charlie Kirk died and some cheered and it’s true on this as well

[Jeff Hoover @buckethoover]

@treswatson It was all about who could pound their chest the most for Trump

[Jeff Hoover @buckethoover]

I hate this. Tony Dungy is a class act, no question. He is Someone from whom executives @NBCSports @NBCNews could take lessons

[Tony Dungy @TonyDungy]

I have been informed by NBC that I won’t be back with FNIA this fall and it has given me time to reflect and also to look ahead. 

It’s disappointing  news but I want to thank my NBC family for making the last 17 years so special.  I’ll have lasting memories of my time there, especially with Rodney Harrison who has become a tremendous friend.

God has always directed me in these moments and while I’m not sure what the next step will be for me—whether it will be in football, in broadcasting, or getting more involved in church and community outreach —I know God has plans for my life and I can’t wait see them unfold. And I am reminded of one of my favorite verses in the Bible-Romans 8:28. “God works all things for His good for those who love the Lord.”

[Jeff Hoover @buckethoover]

One of the best to ever speak into a microphone. And, beyond that, a truly great guy that I have been honored for many years to call my friend. You are the best of the best @buzzbaker thank you!

[UK Sports Network @UKSportsNetwork]

For nearly four decades, Dave Baker has been at the heart of our Kentucky basketball coverage.

Saturday’s game vs. Florida will be his final home broadcast as host of Countdown to Tipoff.

His voice and signature style shaped the UK Sports Network and became part of the soundtrack to Big Blue Nation.

[Jeff Hoover @buckethoover]

Any objective analysis of UK Athletics during Mitch Barnhart’s tenure as Athletics Director leads to only one conclusion…the @universityofky and @UKAthletics are much better off today than upon his arrival. Thank you Mitch for all you have done! #classact

[Kentucky Athletics @UKAthletics]

Mitch Barnhart, whose term as Athletics Director has been marked by historic athletic and academic success, will retire as AD in June and transition into a new role with the @universityofky.

And the then Supt fired Coach Woods because he “didn’t win enough”. Crazy I hate it for the kids (Phillips/Farmer/Gehring) but some adults should be held accountable. EVERY high school in Ky would give anything to have a Rodney Woods as coach

[Greg Mason @bball2banker]

Wayne Co losing… this would have never happened if a legend like Rodney Woods was still calling the shots. 1000 wins. One of KY’s greatest coaches ever

[Jeff Hoover @buckethoover]

@bball2banker @BradFieldsAD

[Jeff Hoover @buckethoover]

Ouch! Hard to disagree

[Tom Hart @tom_hart]

Kentucky has a talented (and expensive) roster. Missouri has a roster that fits. Last night wasn’t decided on a 15-2 run to close the game, it was won when Gates and staff put together a team of unselfish, complimentary players who know their role and are coached to execute.
