OT, but John Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats are celebrating a 31-0 season. Calipari has some quotes about UMass in this article.

From the article:

On getting his jersey retired at UMass ...

"It's neat. What they're doing is honoring that grouping of players in the 90s. I've gotten a bunch of calls from those guys and if you've ever started your first company, then it's your baby. It was all of us coming together as a staff and more about that than me specifically, but I do appreciate it. I'm honored. My daughters went to school there. It's where we raised our children. That's our home and we still consider it that. My son went to a prep school that was 10 minutes from there and he wasn't even born up there, but he still wants to be near UMass and Derek Kellogg. It's a neat thing."

UMass fans should take a high blood pressure pill before reading this piece by Dan Shaughnessy: UMass is making a big mistake honoring John Calipari.

Apparently Shaughnessy and the Globe are still sulking about not getting invited to Calipari's house thirty years ago...

That article takes pettiness to a whole new level.

Victor Cruz tells Odell Beckham to watch out for Media. Sports writers wouldn't be vain, petty and carry a grudge would they?
