So, we finally have the first public collision of major college athletics and Discovery Channel’s Alaskan Bush People. Kentucky men’s basketball coach John Calipari has freely admitted to the media that he and his wife are fans of Alaskan Bush People. I do not know if he enjoys ABP in the ironic sense that many of our readers and commenters enjoy ABP, but I’ve never felt prouder about Wisconsin beating Kentucky in the Final Four last year.

Via Alex Martin Smith of SEC Country:

“We watch Alaska stuff,” Calipari said, referring to the Discovery Channel show “Alaskan Bush People,” which he and his wife enjoy together.

“They say, ‘More’ (in response to ‘I love you’),” Calipari explained to the media. “So today she said, ‘Love you,’ and I said, ‘More.’ She was like, oh my gosh! We were both going crazy.”

Crazy indeed. I wonder if Calipari knows about the fraud and the jail stuff and all the fakery. Hmmm. Maybe the fraud is the reason why Calipari likes ABP.

I fully expect Bear and Bam Bam to be sitting courtside next to Ashley Judd.

And yeah, I’m working on more PhotoShops.
