Chris Mack never meant for his post-Kentucky celebration video with former Louisville offensive lineman Eric Wood to go public. Once it took off on social media, he never had any intention of apologizing for it, except to “clear the air” with John Calipari.
Rather than discussing the 45-point loss to North Carolina, most of Monday’s pre-Notre Dame press conference was centered around the video shared by Drew Franklin of a maskless Mack directing a message to Kenny Payne after December’s victory over UK, his first as the Cardinals’ coach. He made it a point not to apologize.
