Cal gives Stoops his blessing
It was only a matter of time before Cal shared his thoughts on the newest member of the Big Blue Nation, Mark Stoops:
I want to congratulate and welcome Mark Stoops to the UK family. The #BBN is excited to have him.

I’m a big fan of the Stoops family. I spent some time at Oklahoma w/ his brother Bob & met Mike when I was at Memphis & we played at Arizona

I have not had a chance to personally meet Mark but I’ve heard nothing but great things.

Mark and I have spoken over the phone a few times and he knows that the full force of the basketball program will be behind him.

Of course Cal spoke to Stoops. He’s the best recruiter alive.

Bob? Ha
The Godfather of UK athletics welcomes you Coach Stoops.
How about we are “Stooping to new highs”?
We’re going to have a defense. It almost seems too good to be true.
Barnhart’s servng Helper without the Hamburger.
Stoops MUST bring in a TOP OC or this is just icing folks. No cake yet.
Hopefully Stoops had the contract written so that he can hire anyone he wants on his staff.
Then he bring Petrino in as Offensive Coordinator.
Double the Ginger, Double the Fun!
We could run the Ginger Spread and the Ginger 3-4… and maybe a little Wildcat Ginger for ole’ times sake!

6. Geez…enough with the Petrino crap. It ain’t happening. Get over it already. Embrace the change.
He just looks like football. If I had a movie that had a head coach role, I would immediately cast him.
#8 – CaptObvious – Free country = You can chose to focus on me, I can chose to focus on our offense
I’m not judging you.
I’m looking at the gap. We just hired a Defensive guy as our Head Coach. The single most important decision NEXT…
THE OC
Why not embrace a Ginger Army!
Is it me, or does this guy look just like Mr. Belding from Saved by the Bell.
It’s like looking in the mirror
Here’s hoping this thing works out O.K.
So do we need to tell Stoops to stay away from MJP or she not into white guys
Hahahahaha
15. – i think she is in to anyone that gives her the inside scoop while inside her. Taste the rainbow
Not overly impressed by the hire. Last time Kentucky hired a “hot” coordinator his name was Joke(r). Kentucky is not the place to get on the job training so to speak. The SEC is not kind to those unfamiliar with head coaching jobs especially at Kentucky.
Great Hire!!!!! I am extremely excited about Kentucky Football now!!!!
Not being cynical, and I love Cal and I’m excited about the hire, but what was Cal GOING to say? “Mark Stoops…meh.”?
15 & 17, that kind of unsubstantiated talk is not cool. Come on ppl, have some class.
10 – congrats! you win! you are without a doubt the most annoying poster – by far.
any new skewed info-graphs you’d like to share too?
