Will A 20-11 Regular Season Record Be Good Enough? I caught some highlights of Auburn the other day on the SEC Network and was left with the impression that they will be a terribly difficult matchup for the Cats. With a road game coming up Saturday in a hostile environment at West Virginia , I started wondering where any remaining road wins…
ARE YOU MAKING PLANS FOR THE SEC TOURNAMENT IN SAINT LOUIS?
Buy Now Or Take Your Chances Later UK fans planning on attending the SEC Men's Basketball Tournament in St.Louis can now purchase tickets to the event which went on sale Wednesday. The fact that tickets are made available to the general public is already different than most of the recent years in Nashville where the tickets usually don't make it…
GIFTS FOR YOUR WILDCAT FAMILY
I have received some sort of college attire for Christmas for as long as I can remember. My mom's family in Alabama sent me some version of a Roll Tide shirt or sweatshirt probably until my mid 20's. Those were always welcomed gifts, but growing up in a predominantly Wildcat family has meant a lot of UK gift swapping over the…
PLANNING FOR MUSIC CITY
Wildcats Headed to Music City Bowl? Bowl season is upon us and our Kenutkcy Wildcats are going bowling for a second consecutive season. It's hard to get excited about UK football after the embarassing display against the Cards last Saturday. It can even be argued that the season was a bit of a disappointment when 7-5 could've easily been 9-3 and…
Tournaments to Tornadoes
It Was A Great Run The Georgia Dome may have been laid to rest Monday but left behind a great number of memories in it's 25 years. Olympics, Super Bowls and NCAA Championships were among many of the events The Dome hosted during the venue's lifetime. My experience with the Georgia Dome included a number of UK basketball games in the…
THE ROAD TO SAN ANTONIO BEGINS HERE
Busy Days Ahead For UK Fans The Kentucky Wildcats begin their season in Rupp arena tonight. The game tonight marks the beginning of the journey for the basketball team, and a busy period for UK fans of both football and basketball who like to follow their team on the road. The football Wildcats have an afternoon game on Saturday in Nashville. Pair…
REFLECTING ON A BIG DAY AT KROGER FIELD
Did You Bundle Up? There is always an adjustment to that first cold weather game of the season. How cold will I be? How many layers do I need? When in doubt, do like we do and throw everything you own that is UK (except short sleeve tee shirts) into the back seat and head to the game. I had a…
BREAK OUT THE COLD WEATHER GEAR
The long range forecast for next weekend shows colder temperatures moving in which means it's time to rearrange those closets. More importantly, for UK fans like myself, it means checking your inventory of sweatshirts, jackets and long sleeved shirts to see if you have enough to get you through the fall and winter UK sports season, or at least until…
BIG BLUE MADNESS AND DRAKE
Kentucky Basketball Is Different Many schools have their version of basketball madness to celebrate the beginning of their season but no school can do it quite like Kentucky. I could go through various websites and check to see what the other schools are doing, but why bother? I am fairly certain those other schools don't have fans camping out for…
PARIS OR BALLY’S ?
A good friend of mine called the other day and wanted my advice on a Las Vegas trip that he and his wife were planning. He wanted to know which property I would choose between Paris or Ballys. Those two hotels are part of the TotalRewards properties, which I am a big fan of, so this was right in my wheelhouse. The two…
