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…

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 A 20-11 Regular Season Record Be Good Enough?

With a road game coming up Saturday in a hostile environment at West Virginia , I started wondering where any remaining road wins…

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…
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 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.

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…
