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…

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…

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.

OBSERVATIONS FROM KROGER FIELD
Some Notes From Our Gameday Experience Getting There Our family of three hit the road for Lexington just a few minutes past 9am. There was quite a bit of traffic heading south. In particular, was the number of service trucks heading south, presumably for storm relief. Those crews have some long days and nights ahead of them. The traffic flow…

SERVING UP SOME LINKS
Cats Win Opener It was the first full Saturday of the college football season, and the comfort of my recliner made me forget about the wet weather outside. The Cats had a rare opener on the road, which was fine by me, given the dismal conditions. It certainly wasn't the prettiest of games to watch. UK went on to win, despite an early turnover,…
KENTUCKY FOOTBALL VIA NEW ORLEANS
Hattiesburg Express No, I haven't lost my mind and begun to book reservations for a Wildcat appearance in the Sugar Bowl. But I will run a transportation idea by you regarding the Wildcats' season opener in Hattiesburg against Southern Mississippi.
