(The following is premature, I know. But tomorrow I wouldn't have time to post anything until fairly late at night, and I might not feel like it then. So I decided to jump the gun.)


Blue smoke from the chimney of Wildcat Lodge today signalled a new age of Kentucky Wildcats basketball.

John Calipari has been chosen to lead the Catsolic Church into a new era. It is reported he will adopt the name John Cal I.

The faithful hope John Cal either runs a clean program or has the power to grant special NCAA dispensations. Failing both, perhaps his large salary can be used to purchase indulgences.

(If the contract negotiations fall apart, I'll just have to say his reign was similar to that of John Paul I.)
