A nice Q&A by C.J. of all people:
Q How do you avoid going all Gisele Bundchen [Tom Brady’s supermodel wife, who ripped N.Y. Giant hecklers] when fans and sports folk start talking smack about your favorite coach?
A Weeeeell. First of all, last time I checked this was America. So you have choices. If you choose to involve yourself with all of that, that’s what you choose to do. However, it’s pretty sad around here the morning after we lose a game. You’re slow to get up. You don’t necessarily want to read the papers. You have choices. You can choose to look at the news or you can choose to go to other forms of entertainment. It was wonderful the morning after we beat Indiana and the picture in the paper was just spectacular. I was like, “That’s going to make a great poster.” You have your good and your bad days and that’s just what comes with it. That’s why it’s sports.
Q What was the hardest thing you and Coach endured during your time at Kentucky?
A One of the hardest things? Oh, when you’re playing the second ESPN game during a weeknight. It doesn’t begin until 9. It’s over at 11. By the time you get on the plane it’s about 1. We played against Florida down in Gainesville. Lost. We got back there was a fresh blanket of snow [yes, in Kentucky] and you could see how someone had walked in our yard. There weren’t any tire marks. There were like two sets [of footprints]. Someone had placed a whole bunch of “for sale” signs; I guess they had gathered them. That was hard. That was like: wow. I’ll never forget it. Tubby sat up at the kitchen table just about all night. You could tell it bothered him. It’s sports. You’re going to win some, you’re going to lose some, that’s how it goes.
