During the UK Basketball Tip-Off Luncheon in Louisville this week, Billy Gillispie saluted the football team.
He noted how the football team’s success helps in basketball recruiting and how the football team serves as an example for other teams to follow.
“It’s awesome,” he said. “I’m a big fan. I’ve really studied the team.”
Gillispie applauded the football team’s ability to come back from adversity, which he interpreted as a sign of “supreme confidence.”
More than once, Gillispie asked the audience to give the football team a round of applause.
