Matt Cutts Hall Of FameThe Kentucky Kernel reports (as I covered at Search Engine Land) that Matt Cutts was inducted into University of Kentucky’s Arts and Sciences Hall Of Fame.

Matt flew from his grandfather's funeral (condolences) to PubCon to talk to Kentucky to accept this award all in the same week.

Matt did attend the University of Kentucky while working for the Department of Defense as part of the university’s co-operative program.

In any event, Matt is not just a spam fighter, not just one of the first 100 Googlers, not just a distinguished engineer but now also a Hall of Famer.

Congrats Matt!

I brace myself for some of the nastiest comments I've seen in a while
