If you noticed a cut on John Calipari’s upper lip during the Tennessee game, Ellen Calipari isn’t to blame, even though she gets frustrated with him for not taking out the trash cans.

Actually, the family dog, McGruff, is to blame for the cut on Calipari’s lip. Megan Calipari confirmed it on Twitter that Coach Cal wanted to give McGruff a kiss but McGruff wasn’t having it.

He was kissing McGruff and McGruff did not want a kiss ? https://t.co/NJ5qBrDRo7

Well, Calipari saw a dog in Columbia today and he had to show it some love. This one didn’t bite.

This isn’t @bradcalipari’s dog but we will call this a truce. That @UKCoachCalipari, he’s a forgiving man. ? pic.twitter.com/uI3OpP5Ils
