John Calipari Just finished up a good morning session and came back to my desk to see a printout of this upcoming Sports Illustrated cover. The great thing about John is that it won't go to his head - he'll just continue to work harder and improve his game and his team. Enjoy your day.

John Calipari As most of you know by now, Coach Rich Brooks has decided to step down as head coach of UK Football. It's been my distinct pleasure to get to know Coach Brooks during my time here and I have posted a video thank you to him at CoachCal.com - http://bit.ly/7ZxxFT - that I'd like to share with all of you.
You're the best, ...Coach Brooks. Hope this means you'll have more time to come to our practices now!

John Calipari Getting ready for our second practice of the day here in a little bit, but just got word that DeMarcus Cousins has been named SEC Player of the Week. Let's all congratulate DeMarcus on his accomplishment. As with all individual awards, they only come when the team is doing well and performing as one unit.
