Mark Stoops received a late-night text message from John Calipari last night, shortly after his football team lost to Georgia on a field goal at the end of regulation. According to Calipari, he told Stoops,
"Losing stinks, but having no hope is worse... Because of you, now we have hope."
Nice gesture there by Coach Cal to reach out to his fellow Wildcat head coach at what was certainly a disappointing time for Stoops. He's right in there being hope in the football program, and there's no better person to get some coaching love from than a Hall of Famer, even if not in the same sport.
I'll tell you who didn't have hope this weekend and that's the Asbury Eagles. No hope whatsoever on that sideline, but Asbury's head coach said he and his team had fun and they are proud of how they hustled against a much more talented team. More from that game to come...
