Since I can’t watch Kentucky in the Sweet 16, reminiscing on PJ Washington helping send the ‘Cats to last year’s Elite Eight on one healthy foot will do, I guess.
Best official statement I've ever read. This is all unfortunate, but it's amazing how Kacy can throw in some curse words and make it sound so eloquent.
It’s always hilarious to me how white folks berate Black and brown people for their calls to ending racism across the globe ... yet they continue to (literally) consume their cultures on a daily basis.
Wynn Stang before tonight's win on the year: 292 carries, 2,390 yards, 36 touchdowns.
Four of his six touchdowns tonight were 20-plus yard (44, 24, 33 and 21) runs.
@MukFootball
hasn't submitted their official numbers from tonight, but 42 touchdowns is just ... goodness.
He’s not perfect by any stretch, but don’t ever try to tell me Calipari doesn’t care about his players, past or present.
I’ve heard that nonsense for over a decade and it’s never once been true.

' big three and coach Jim Reuter from Saturday into a story.
But, I really liked this quote from Amy Terrian towards the end of their presser. You could see and feel the happy emotions from everybody.
Just a few days after picking Kansas to beat Kentucky, Jay Williams now says that Kentucky plays defense like they are and they make 3s, they can win a national title.
Good work,

Last week, I sat down with La Lumiere star Keion Brooks Jr. to talk about his commitment to Kentucky next season.
We talked about when he knew he wanted to go to UK, what sold him on the ‘Cats and what his social media mentions looked like after his decision:

coach Mike Gnewuch hugs Wynn Stang after Mukwonago’s 34-30 loss tonight against Kimberly.
This was a great moment. It’s so unfortunate Stang didn’t get more out of this day. He was nothing short of sensational this season.
BREAKING: The city is closing the Lake Shore Drive bridge Downtown Thursday, the same day video of Chicago Police fatally shooting 13-year-old Adam Toledo will be released.
He struggled finishing against Norwich and he’d tell you that, but Giroud’s been so instrumental since the restart.
33 years old, a World Cup champion and still underrated.
❌ Rumoured to be leaving in January.
✅ Played in every game since the restart.
⚽️ Scored 5 goals in his last 8 games.

For the first time ever, 2-time state champions Emma and Sophia Nolan played a game of H-O-R-S-E against one another.
On top of that, I told them that they will be named the 2018-19 News-Dispatch Co-Players of the Year for the girls 🏀 season.
You can read about it all Friday.
As for the greater Milwaukee area after the Level 3 playoff matchups tonight, six teams are still alive for the gold ball:
D1:
-Franklin
-Sussex Hamilton
-Marquette
D2:
-Badger (with a stunner over defending D2 champion Kettle Moraine tonight)
D3:
-Grafton (!!!)
D4:
-CMH
I spent some of the weekend studying new Wildcat guard Davion Mintz.
My main overall thought: he’s exactly what Kentucky’s backcourt needed headed into next season.
The Braves’ Max Fried joins the Cardinals’ Jack Flaherty and White Sox’s Lucas Giolito as Opening Day starters from the same high school - Harvard-Westlake in Los Angeles. All three also share the same agent, CAA’s Ryan Hamill.

All I'm going to say is while we should all support the The Parkland Students, It's very striking how their activism has been met vs. how activism from Black Lives Matter and Dreamers have been met.

Booker T's last world title win: 2006.
Mark Henry's world title win: 2011.
The Rock's 8th world title win: 2013.
Even if you count those as "WWE Champions", it's been at least six years since a black world champion happened.
You dunces in the replies are missing so much here.
It me, talking about one of my favorite sporting subjects: Ashton Hagans.
With Tyrese Maxey in the fold, Hagans won't be on the ball as much, but that's not changing on defense.
Plus, if the jumper comes around a bit ... oh, boy.
