Read MoreAnne: I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. Jim and Babe Parilli have always been two of my favorite football Wildcats. I remember how impressed I was when we first met.

Doug, now I know why you were always attending UK games (my alma mater also) when I had you as a sixth grader at Crosby. My sincere condolences on the loss of your father.
