Big Blue Links for Monday:
Jerry Tipton of the Herald-Leader says UK near 2,000-win finish line: “Like fame, milestones can be so fleeting. That’s how it felt to reporters who had less than four minutes on Sunday to talk to Kentucky players about the chance to achieve the program’s 2,000th victory on Monday against Drexel.”
Jennifer Smith of the H-L reports on UK women’s pasting of turnover-prone Louisville: “The Kentucky coach and his players did their best to keep the post-game talk quiet and low-key. Even though they had just ended five years of frustration and beaten Louisville by the second-largest margin in series history, 101-67, the Cats kept the chatter to a minimum.”
Mike Fields of the H-L reports on a junior lineman from Bryan Station that has committed to UK football: ” Bryan Station junior offensive tackle Darrian Miller has committed to play college football at Kentucky. Miller called UK assistant Chuck Smith on Sunday night to tell him he wanted to join the Cats for the 2011 season.”
David Ramey of Examiner.com reports that ex-UK assistant Chris Hatcher will be named head coach at Murray State today: “Sources close to the situation confirmed to Examiner.com Sunday that Hatcher agreed earlier this weekend to take over a struggling football program that hasn’t had a winning season since 2004.”
Tipton talks to Drexel coach Bruiser Flint about his old friend Cal: “‘I know we didn’t go on probation at UMass because I took over after he left,’ said Flint, who succeeded Calipari as Massachusetts coach in 1996. ‘One of the things we talk about a lot is how people perceive him. As you’ll find out, he’s a lot different from what people write about him.’”
