Yep…that’s Ashland alright.
Man it’s good to see the Coaches and families enjoying this Trophy. I hope Calipari went home and danced in his underwear like Tom Cruise!!!
Cal’s wife looks strikingly similar to Spock’s sister off of Star Trek.
I don’t know if these pictures are a good thing or a bad thing. I mean how embarrassing that our National Championship trophy, Cal, Ellen, and Coaches are doing these meet & greats in a F’ing Parking lot !!
Sad you can’t track buses online like you can airplanes.
Best parking lot I’ve seen in a while.
Is Calipari signing any autographs at these stops?
5 – Sad that you are interested in tracking a bus.
7 – Signing faces.
8, sad you can’t understand sarcasm without a video.
No one liked my joke?
Nice selection, the good ol’ Kroger lot in Ashland. A cluster touch on a normal day in Heaven on the Ohio.
Might have been more people there had the local paper listed the correct time, e.g. 12:00 pm v. 1:00 pm.
Touch your toes!
Cal marching around the state like the president, and rightfully so!!!! He now owns Kentucky, the way he respects the tradition and the fans, the way he loves the program and the kids. He truly GETS IT!!!!
Two things stand out, Orlando Antigua seem sto be very happy at uk. He is huge and can not be replaced on the recruiting trail. He needs to stay at uk, and as ad mitch you cannot let this happen.
And cals wife, just how cool is that.
Awesome time, Coach A is a giant!
Those people were waiting for the armored car full of gold heading to Ft Knox.
How miserable must the other side be, lol
Pikeville and Hazard will represent. Triple the crowd size, I’d bet.
Late evening stop in Paducah tomorrow but the whole family is planning on driving down there to enjoy this.
Nice gesture by Coach Cal and the staff. Makes all Kentuckians feel like they were a part of this championship run.
I reported there was only 250 people there.
Coach O needs to be made “Coach in waiting”. He seems to get it just like Calipari. He loves the UK atmosphere. He is great on the recruiting trail. And he is an assistant coach rising through the ranks. I feel like he would be a great HC here once Calipari’s 10 years or whatever he said are up.
i hate coaches in waiting. let him go get his feet wet elsewhere and if he succeeds then he’ll always want to come back at the right time, if he fails then we didn’t have to learn the hard way.
Great job!!!!!!Ellen looks awesome in UK blue.
Best part of this event was at the very end. The bus was about about to
pull out and head to Pikeville when it stopped, out came Cal running over
to hug and get some pictures taken with an ederly mentally disable gentleman who
had just arrived. Just shows what a great guy Cal truly is.
I would say there were between 300 to 500 people there tops, but
like a previous commentor stated that was probably due to the wrong times being
reported in the local paper.
26: Did Calipari sign any autographs or just take pictures?
LENA!!!
ohhh and thanks KSR for keeping me up to date on the correct times
so that I was able to enjoy every second of this visit!!
anyone else think this Cal guy gets it?
Cal and O were not signing autographs but the rest of the staff
were
No autographs from cal but the asst coaches were very friendly to everyone there
I bet Cal and his wife have some much needed alone time tonight in the hotel. With all the traveling, interviews, recruiting, film time, etc. Cal prbably only has time for scheduled by appointment only quickies.
33 – Yep. I think he deserves it.
..They need to stop in and see me at the Country Palace on there way into Pikeville.
In the background of the first picture, meaning I have offically made it on KSR…today is a good day.
36 – I made a 2009-2010 UK tribute video that made it on KSR and ended up getting 50,000 views.
Beat that.
I can officially die a happy lady. I am on KSR.
This is so great…I love the old schoolness of it all and thank you coach cal, staff and family for taking time to do something so cool. It means so much to these people and I am very touched by it all.
Question….honestly, and i dont know, would Pitino do something like this if Louisville had one?
Go Cats!! Thanks matt and KSR for posting photos!
Highlight of the day (besides the obvious trophy, coach cal, etc) was a fan asking Matt Jones why he got to ride in the luxury bus with the trophy but Jerry Tipton had to drive himself. I look at that as a victory for KSR and UK fans everywhere
37- My mere background appearance was in a photo that includes a National Championship trophy…and no amount of views can top that.
41 – …Okay, you win this one.
They should be in Pikeville by now, I hope my husband gets a good picture since I’m stuck here at work. That’s what happens when your husband is your boss, he goes to see Coal Cal and I stay and hold the office down.
I was there in Ashland and it was great. All the coaches and staff were so genuinely happy to be there.
A class act completely.
It was a great honor to have the coaches and staff come to Ashland! They were very nice and took a picture with everyone! They also gave everyone there a special championship poster. Thank you all so much for the visit!! BBN!
It was great to see Coach Calipari, the Championship Trophy and his coaching staff in Ashland today. They were all very gracious to take pictures ang sign autographs with us. Go Big Blue!
Matt..what’s te website u get on to purchase pictures that were taken in Ashland? I think I’m in one..thx..
@46 did you get autographs?! Jealous. We tried super hard to. Had a Cal Marker’s Mark bottle. Didn’t work.
Regardless, very thankful that everyone (including Matt!) came out to support!

Was so exciting to see the Trophy. Cal and his wife were great. Coach O was so down to earth and made sure everyone got a good photo of the trophy. Matt was a star too, very recognizable and signed a lot of autographs.
