Yep, great news.

We may have Mrs. Drew to thank. Happy wife, happy life.

Time to hire an elite defensive-specialist assistant coach and go win another Natty!!
I second this motion.

What a relief. Total legend. I can only hope that Baylor lives up to Scott Drew until he retires.

If someone had told us in 2003 that eventually both Louisville and Kentucky would come for our National Championship winning basketball coach in the same offseason and we would hold both off ……. Just wild.

Thank you, Mrs. Drew!

We will probably never really know...but I would love to hear a play by play of how all of this really went down and what ultimately tipped it in our favor.

Little BU holding off giant blueblood UK is quite the David and Goliath story.

Right I saw a post somewhere that she would follow his decision.

As a guy who has been married 20+ years, my immediate thought was

Like someone mentioned earlier in the thread… it would be so ironic/funny if the UK fans over the top obsessive behavior was actually part of what drove him away.

I'm confused!!! BluesBear assured me Drew was signing with UK today!! Because his sources said so..

I'm not sure if he has much of a relationship with Calipari. I would think there would be some relationship since they both have been in it for so long. Wonder if CSD called him and kind of talked through all the pros and cons of UK with him.

Also, everybody should understand to just let the Drew family have their peace when you see them around town.

I would drag up old posts from BluesBear saying Drew has accepted the job and is gone and acted like an authority on it … but after the late night plane news, I thought he was gone too.

I never really thought he would go for this reason. Folks in Waco say hello, buy him lunch, but they don't stalk or pester him. He can live a reasonably private life for his family ... he's have tents in his yard in Lexington.

I went back and looked and I think what BB was saying was that he knew for sure that Drew had been offered… Which probably was true.

I didn't scroll through everything… so not sure if he actually ever said he was for sure going.

I don't think Baylor fans have ever harassed him, have they? And I doubt they'd mind a brief show of support in public. It's the crazy stalker stuff that's a turnoff, and everyone but these blue blood fan bases seems to realize this.

I've had a bad feeling about this one from the start. I couldn't be happier to be wrong.

Hopefully everyone on this thread is planning to spend big bucks at Mi Casita tonight.

And hopefully Mi Casita charges $100 to sit at Drew's table from now on.

Kiss the booth my friends. Kiss the booth.

Mi Casita is the real winner in all this. 4.1 million people now know they exist.

They can hang a sign over the booth like the "I'll have what she's having" table at Katz's Deli in NYC.

Dodged a major bullet. Today has got to be one of the top Five days in Baylor Athletics history. Thank our Lord and Scott's family.

The point here is that God picked Baylor over Kentucky. Put the banner in the rafters now.

A lot of people were ready to bury Mack over losing Drew.

So now....thanks Mack? Or are we giving this all to Mrs. Drew?

I know we are all super happy, but isn't it completely wonderful that CSD is the man he really claims to be! That his culture of JOY is real and that he isn't swayed by the almighty dollar and ego?!! I wouldn't have faulted him if he left, ( and if he felt God was leading him to UK), but so grateful that he is staying!

Whenever anything bad happens it's Mack's fault, and anything good is thanks to whatever force is acting against Mack, so you could thank the Dalai Lama for all the Mack-obsessed haters around here care.
