We just returned from a five day family trip that started in New York City and ended with a couple days in Toronto. In December of 2022 we took our first trip to The Big Apple to watch Kentucky play in the CBS Sports Classic against UCLA at Madison Square Garden. Watching the Cats play in a city I always…

Tailgating for UK Football? Arrive Early
After a year with no tailgating due to the pandemic, it was great to return to the Orange Lot across from Kroger Field this past Saturday. Normally when you combine a less than exciting non conference opponent with a noon kickoff you can navigate through the Orange Lot pretty easily. With ticketing and parking passes going digital we expected there…
Did Kroger Field Seem Extra Loud Against Mississippi State?
Anyone in attendance at Kroger Field that watched the Wildcats take down the Bulldogs of Mississippi State will tell you what a great atmosphere it was. I have a hard time recalling any game in Lexington that I've attended over the years ,football or basketball, where the crowd was all in from start to finish. There wasn't a huge buildup to…
KROGER FIELD GAMEDAY OBSERVATIONS
Over the years the wife and I have developed certain tailgating areas that we like to explore prior to settling into our seats at Kroger Field. Occasionally, we will have a large enough group to set up our gear in our Orange Lot spot but on other occasions, like last Saturday, it will just be the two of us and…
PLANNING A LAST MINUTE TRIP TO CATLANTA?
Our Wildcats are once again headed to the Sweet Sixteen after an unexpected path presented itself in Boise. The trend will continue in Atlanta as the Cats avoid potential matchups with top seeded Virgina and the number 2 seed UC Bearcats. There are still ballgames to win but the likelihood of seeing Kentucky win the South Regional to go to the…
LOOKING AT ST LOUIS HOTELS FOR THE SEC TOURNAMENT
I was in fairly good spirits last Saturday when we hit the road for Lexington despite knowing the fate of the discussion we were about to have with my good friend Aaron(@adirish) , and his wife Amanda. We met up with our Lexington friends for food and drinks before we took a short Uber ride to Rupp Arena for the…
WHERE THE WILDCATS STAND
It has been a rough stretch for our Kentucky Wildcats and the BBN as the team tries to get back on track against a very good Alabama squad at Rupp on Saturday. I won't call Saturday a MUST WIN, but they'd have to steal a road win if the don't beat Alabama. Coach Cal's young team simply hasn't responded well…
WILL KENTUCKY MAKE THE TOURNAMENT?
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…
