Some current and former Wildcats cleaned up and took a night off to celebrate sports’ greatest athletes and moments at the 2014 ESPY Awards.
Coach Cal has been burning up the recruiting trail, but that didn’t stop him from meeting up with some old friends.

Robes has told me that he once hit a home run off Dan Marino. Dan just told me that’s BS! pic.twitter.com/2dqwvamUVW

Kentucky was on full display, including several camera shots of Cal enjoying the festivities.
90 seconds into the ESPYS, and they’ve already shown clips of James Young, John Wall, Coach Cal & Aaron Harrison x 3. #AllCatsESPYthing

Here’s Drake’s opening monologue where he gives a shout-out to Coach Cal. (about the 6:25 mark)
You know that I bleed blue, sun up to sun down. I’m a Kentucky Wildcat. John Wall, I know you’re here. DCuz I know you’re here. Coach Cal, one of the best men I’ve ever met in my life came to my high school graduation. Make some noise for him. I love you with all my heart.
Kentucky didn’t even have to win the NCAA championship to be mentioned before UCONN at the espys. #BBN
