As special of a night that I’ve had in 16 years at UK Athletics. Props to the @SEC staff for being willing to take on the risk of a conference volleyball tournament. They ran the event like “it just meant more” — and all of us involved felt it. Thankful for it all. GO CATS‼️

Hello to you, as well, @Publix⁩ 😻👏 Best. Day. Ever. 🤩🎉 🛒

My Cincinnati heart (and stomach) are now full 🧡 🌭 @Skyline_Chili in Clearwater, Florida 🥎 @ClearwaterInv starts tomorrow ☀️ 73 degrees #FeelingGoodAndHungry #ItsSkylineTime

Spectacular. I mean come onnnnnn!! The last hour of tennis was played at an absurd level. MADI KEYS‼️🇺🇸🎾

Tennis with a view 🤩🎾🇺🇸 ✅ 6-3, 7-5 @CocoGauff x #AO2025

Highlight of #AO2025 so far was watching @UKMensTennis alum Gabriel Diallo win a 5-set, 4-hour marathon! He took time after the match to sign every single autograph and every single photo with all the fans💙 Go Cats from Down Under! Big opportunity vs Khanachov tomorrow.

Ways to avoid the ice and snowstorms in Lexington… Go to where it’s summer and meet up with Johnny Mac! 🎾🦘🇦🇺☀️

Coolest human alive.

I think it's important to give the AVCA committee credit here. They clearly watched the matches in Nov/Dec, and after not being a semifinalist, they included Brooklyn on the finalist list - which the rules allow them to do. SO happy for @BrooklynDeleye, who deserves it greatly!

We have over 40 credentialed media members for Friday night's NCAA Tournament return for @UKWomensSoccer headed by @UKCoachFabiano! Palpable excitement for the Wildcats first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 2014. Kickoff set for 7pm ET at the Bell Soccer Complex on ESPN+.

Grew into the tournament and ended it with her best match of the year!! 🏆🥇🎾🔥

Nelly Freakin’ Korda 🔥🇺🇸🤩 Pretty sure she was -8 thru 14 by herself. Un. Real.

American tennis is having a ✨moment✨ in this fortnight, folks 🎾🇺🇸

INCREDIBLE!!! 😼 #WeAreUK GO CATS‼️ @usopen

@TCope19 @UKCoachHimes @kswaggyyyy @Mypool40 There are 8 of us on the bus and he wasn’t 7th 😇🙃

@ukchris7 @UKCoachHimes @kswaggyyyy The people need to know where @Mypool40 ranks on this list..

Speaking of “off the rails” … I was voted fourth-best on the bus in managing “crisis” situations. @UKCoachHimes got #1. (Duh) But most importantly, I was judged by the group to be ahead of @kswaggyyyy 😎 (Photo from April 4, 2024 at ~5am)

Thanks, Corey!

No bones about it — there is absolutely nobody luckier than I am to have this seat at John Cropp Stadium. 🙌🫶🥎 Thanks to @SydneyLangdon2 & @UKsoftball for putting on a show as I kick off year #9 in the JCS press box 🤩

People who annoy me: those who hit .424 left handed and then turn around and hit fungo right handed like it’s nothing. AKA @kswaggyyyy
