Took my brother. It was so fun. So many hardcore fans and such positive vibes. So much energy. Not trying to be corny but at times it felt like a religious experience.
Please Fill Rupp Arena on Sunday

I don’t think some people quite understand the magnitude of this event unless they were there. Please watch the entire press conference from places that showed more than just the coaches backdrop. It was only relatable to a religious event. I will cherish this forever. The fact that my kids will grow up in the Pope era means everything.
It is odd, but I feel the same way. Unless you were there it is difficult to explain. It felt like we, the program, the fans, the administrators, the donors, walked in battered, defeated, and dirty, but we all walked out cleansed, renewed, hopeful, and ready to fight.
Mission accomplished I’d say! What a showing. I wasn’t able to go, but was thrilled to learn that my son was able to go and show his support. I knew he would like Pope after he got to hear him speak.
I teared up yesterday during the event and my wife made fun of me. I told her that I just couldn't help it; I've missed the real Kentucky basketball that I was born into and lived most of my life with and yesterday made me feel like it was back. I was, and am, a happy man right now.
