Kentucky fans are a different breed.
That was not the dog I was expecting.
Also, what's in the stroller - a bag of unmarked bills?
I know you're probably joking but for those who watch this and are wondering the same thing, its probably for the dog when it gets tired. Looks very much like an elder dog

One thing to note about Arkansas is that the surprisingly vast local financial power (not Jerry Jones, but everyone else mentioned), isn't so much dedicated on a fan level to Arkansas' wins and losses per se, but have a broader ambition for Northwest Arkansas as a destination. They've sponsored art museums, an orchestra, they're trying to make it an oasis of culture and tourism in an otherwise quite sleepy region of the country.
Looked at through that lens, a brand name and attention-getter like John Calipari is a relatively cheap date.
A kind of unique set of players and motivations for college sports, though it's also of course a big and rabid fanbase of online weirdos donating to a collective like us. But that regional philanthropic element pushes them up another level.

When they kept the footage rolling and I heard the car noise getting louder I thought - is going to get hit by a car?!?
Such is television today. Everything has to have a shocking moment to sell so you almost expect to see it I the weirdest places.
Me? Joke? About Calipari's tiny dog?
Never.

While it'd certainly be nice to have all that money, man, I'm glad I can walk outside without someone putting a camera in my face.

This is only tangentially related, but I think this IS why some elite level coaches might not want to mess with the Blue Bloods. The pressure/microscope at Kentucky has to be as crazy as anywhere. Meanwhile, someone like Thad Matta made millions and won a lot of games in a relatively/comparatively low pressure environment at Ohio State. "Fan support" is a double-edged sword.
See you on your next walk, buddy!
I tried, but all six of my ping pong balls missed.It can, if you become a billionaire and start throwing money around for the program
And that is part of why the UK job is not as attractive to some coaches as people may think ...

omg do we need to worry about brad bolting to alabama?
Are these piping hot oats or the overnight variety? And if piping hot, do they move to an orange breakfast drink instead of breakfast food?
I thought everyone's favorite insider, Trilly Donovan, said he wouldn't be involved? I guess that changed?
UK’s on option 3? Donovan and Drew said no?
I lived there for a few years and can attest to this.
Apparently not a EDG. /s
