What an unbelievable Kentucky Derby with long shot Rich Strike making Derby history with a spectacular performance. Only thing missing was the voice of Kentucky’s own Tom Hammond, NBC-TV’s iconic racing host who last worked the Derby in 2016. Just isn’t the same without Tom.

Bob Valvano John W. Adams Mike Pratt Awesome!!!

Can’t like this enough.

His family tells me former UK guard Reggie Warford died this morning at home, surrounded by family. He was the first African-American basketball player to graduate from UK. We shared a birthday and a friendship. RIP

Ky surprised the entire league with a strong run in Hoover. Now: The waiting game…
