Former Kentucky AD is consulting for woolard on the b-ball job search.  Not a bad second opinion considering he is the guy that hired petino..

Winthrop assistant athletic director Jack Frost said former Kentucky athletic director C.M. Newton, who is assisting Woolard as a consultant on USF's search, asked and received permission Tuesday for Woolard to speak with Marshall.

University of Kentucky

In 1989, Newton's alma mater, the University of Kentucky, came calling. Needing someone to replace athletic director Cliff Hagan and navigate the stormy waters of an NCAA probation, the university hired Newton.[8] Newton's first move as AD was to hire then-Providence College coach Rick Pitino.[9] The move paid off in a big way, as the Wildcats bounced back from their probation with a core of mostly Kentucky-born players known affectionately to fans as "The Unforgettables". The group - consisting of Sean Woods, Deron Feldhaus, Richie Farmer, and John Pelphrey - lost in overtime in the East Regional final of the NCAA tournament to the Duke Blue Devils in a game many consider the greatest college basketball game ever played.[10]

Come on JoeBalls, learn how to spell Pitino, it's driving me nuts.

[Apis Bull]

He's spelling it right.  He's talking about Jimmy Petino, the guy who polishes the court.

Rueb, do you have anything to offer this board?

Winthrop's AD's name is Jack Frost?  :-?

Who wants to work under an AD who is known for nipping at your nose?

(cue crickets)

Sorry.

I guess there is no love for CM Newton.

He is only the guy that is given credit for returning KY Basketball to its greatness.

He's Mr. White Christmas, he's Mr. Snow. He's Mr. Icicles, he's Mr. 10 below.

Mr. Heat Meisser is the man!  He'll kick the crap out of Mr. Snow.

(Good Lord...that's my 6000th!  Whata waste.  )

If you too got married, who would have the bridal shower? Would it be joint? Would you share bachlor party stories or just keep them to yourselves? I mean, at least you could register the Home Depot.
