From the Lexington Herald Leader:
Todd said “we need to get back to the type of program” that historically has enjoyed resounding national success.
“I want to see that 8th national championship banner hanging up in Rupp Arena before I retire,” Todd said. UK’s regulations require its top administrators to retire after they reach age 65. Todd will have to resign by June 30, 2011, almost two months after he turns 65.

I'm concerned about Dr. Todd.

He's fallen into the "romancing the past" trap. I'm surprised a man of his stature doesn't recognize that today such expectations are entirely impossible and unreasonable.

That's the nicest thing you've said to me this month, bayer. See the healing has already begun.

I knew it would. You just have to believe.
Besides it's Friday night in the States.
