WREG during there broadcast say he's leaving, seems very official. UK wants to have presser tonight they said, that would be tough?

I'm still not 100% sold though.

That they got a confirmation in midflight means only one thing:


The UK goons musta threatened to toss his kids out the door one-by-one til he said yes. Extreme........but crafty.


Takes a goombah to deal with a goombah............;)

It is not like last night where one media outlet would claim a "source" and say it was over. All media outlets are reporting this at the exact same time.

I say this is as done as it can be without seeing him on the stage........

I guess this trumps the news that the Reds traded Jeff Keppinger to the Astros. ;) Best of luck to Coach Calipari! May he bring UK many wins and championships over the coming years by doing the right way.
