What great news for @KentuckyVB and @UKAthletics. @UKCoachSkinner is the best in the biz.
Thanks to @UK__Battman prioritizing this extension. I had been concerned that no extension came immediately after a run to the championship match. Appreciate your leadership J. Batt!
Continuing to build on a championship standard.
@UKCoachSkinner has agreed to a contract extension to continue leading @KentuckyVB through 2031.

Here is the clip of Brooklyn Delaye having her game broken down by ESPN NFL Countdown….very cool for @KentuckyVB
Another season. Slightly different setup and location (some old people stole our spot) 😡. Friends are always welcome at any time! Across from Gate 4!

Kentuck fans should make a concerted effort to go to more Volleyball games this season
If you never go, try to attend a couple
If you normally go to a couple, make it 5+
If you are already a regular, start bringing friends
This is the best team on campus and they deserve it

Great to see our friend & @brownforman VP @lesfugate last week before his presentation at the @spcchamber luncheon. We shared many of the great things happening here and presented him with a bottle of Somerset's own @HorseSoldierUSA to add to his collection.
You gotta give it to @LouisvilleMBB on consistency. Doesn’t matter who the coach is, always the same …

Great to be with you!
Recapping the 2024 election, @FERChatterjee and @EricHyers, moderated by @LesFugate of @BrownForman, are discussing their analysis of how the results will impact Kentucky and the nation. They also shared their insights on Sen. Mitch McConnell's influence as a "historical figure in the Senate" and speculated on what comes next for Gov. Andy Beshear.
