Kentucky Fried Gillispie

The Billy Gillispie era at Kentucky was short lived.  Only two years into his contract, a historically powerful SEC team was struggling tremendously, and Kentucky had seen enough.  Gillispie out, Calipari in.  But it looks like Gillispie’s presence will still be felt around the town of Lexington for quite some time.  Billy has filed a […]
