UL actually favored hosting UNCheat.

Has this stuff gotten any better? I got a bottle for Christmas and am seriously thinking of trading it in. The first two bottles that I had of this were gifts, and thank God they were as I thought this stuff was awful. Wouldn’t pay good money for it. Thoughts anyone? And Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

They are living that 6-6 SEC dream, beating a 7-5 ACC team!

What uniform would you like to see from our football cats next season. Would love to see something plain like Penn st. White pants, blue shirts with white letters. White helmet with blue stripe down the middle. Think that would look really cool

Following UK's crushing loss to OSU in NYC news came out that both Chandler and Carr got engaged on the trip.

This explains a lot about our performance and lackadaisical play. Given the holiday break, semester ending finals, and the marriage purposals our guys simply weren't focused on the task at hand.

Hopefully, this game is an anomaly overall and the aforementioned reasons were a major reason for laying an egg

Pretty impressive second half for Kentucky after some ugly stretches in the first half. Was really impressed with how hard Kentucky played to make a statement even with the game out of hand in the second. The Cats ended up shooting 50% from the field after starting slow there. Knocked down 10 triples, got to the line a good amount, had 18 assists on 30 buckets and only five turnovers. Not their best game but overall a good showing.

It was strange to see Brown more than double the Wildcats up on the class (21-10) in the first half. Eight of those Brown boards were on the offensive glass, but UK held them to 27 first half points because they only shot 2/12 from long range and didn't get to the line much.

Kentucky forced a bunch of turnovers in the first half and ended up creating a lot of points off those turnovers, so they were able to turn a relatively close game into some separation before intermission.

Andrew Carr powered Kentucky for much of the first half and was the most efficient player they had early.

I know it's been a rough one for a lot of us. But, here's to a New Year and a better 2025!

Hope it's a great year for all of BBN and us here!

Happy 2025 All!

I fully expected Brock to promptly enter the portal and transfer. Unless I missed it, we have heard nothing. Is there any news? Are we still expecting him to transfer?

Whoever was on all better be one and done.

Indiana/SMU fn joke
Strength of schedule has to be at the top Indiana and SMU played no one and when they did they got destroyed

Please don't say peanut butter

We live in southernmost AL and this game looks like our best chance to see the Cats live this year. Tickets are reasonable for upper level and it’s about a 4 hr drive for us. Anyone ever been to a game at MSU? We’ll have our 10 yr old daughter (her first UK game) and our 7 mo daughter (also her 1st game 😂). Atmosphere family friendly? Wife and I went to Auburn game last year and it was anything but family friendly 🤷🏻‍♂️

We are proud of you all! Thank you for all the hard work you put in every day.

Happy New Year! May you bring number 9 in Lexington in 2025!


PS Coaches , please have the boys work on two hands rebounding and free throws. Those are easy fixes that can secure extra possessions and points. Oscar rebounding, his body positioning and arms ups is a tape everyone should watch.

Let’s go CATS!

What a joke.

Do we beat Brown next up by more than 34 points or fewer than 34 points?🙃

Welcome to the Official Kentucky vs Brown OOC Prediction Contest!

Follow the rules below and make your prediction. I'll publish the results after the game. You can put any comment you would like below your score prediction (put '***' after your prediction to make it easier to separate the comments) but try not to put anything above as my scripts may not be able to find your prediction. This is the 1st of three prediction contests this season: the OOC Contest, the SEC Regular Season contest, and the Postseason Contest.

Whoever predicts the score closest to the actual score wins. I take the absolute value of the difference of your guess of the Kentucky score and the actual plus the absolute value of the difference of your guess of the opponent score and the actual. There is a penalty for picking the wrong winner. That penalty is the worst score among those who predicted the correct winner. In case of a tie, the tiebreaker is used. In case of a tie in the tiebreaker, we have more than one winner.

I will be awarding points for the first 10 places, including a 3 point bonus for a perfect prediction. I will track cumulative point totals and the number of games you make the top 10. This contest ends with the Brown game.

Your post should look something really close to the example below. Remember the ":"s and the word "Tiebreaker:"! Do not!! use a "-" as a separator because some of our tiebreakers will be negative.

This game's tiebreaker is Brown Blocks.

Kentucky vs Brown game:

-------------------------
Kentucky: 96
Brown: 66

Tiebreaker: 3
--------------------------

Just cut and paste everything between the lines above into your reply and then modify the scores and tiebreaker as you see fit. If you don't know how to do that, type very carefully. Remember to type in the word "Tiebreaker:" so that I can find it. Anything my scripts can't figure out will not count.

Don't edit your post or try to post a score after the game has started.

BTW I really would prefer exact names for the teams, but will try to be accommodating as long as it doesn't create too much work for me. If we are playing Louisville, just about anything not obscene will be OK.

@Deeeefense

I had surgery last Thursday, a biopsy/removal of some nymph nodes on both sides of my neck. Although I have an ear to ear "Frankenstein" scar, I received the news today that the pathology came back and showed no signs of cancer. I have never received any better news. Go Cats!

Kansas goes down.

UT has Norfolk St on their heels with 17 min left in 2nd, Vols up 8

Duke sucks.

I don’t usually post real personal info on social media etc but man there’s been some really tough news to hear on this forum last week or so. So, I figured I’d throw some good news at ya. Our daughter, the newest Big Blue fan, was born 12/27. She was scheduled for Jan 24th originally but had to come early. She is perfect and 100% healthy and the rumor around the OB was, if you listened closely when she was born, you could hear a small Go Big Blue chant.

It made me wonder what y’all got as a first UK gear for your newborns?

Lizzie Carr, 6'6" redshirt sophomore middle blocker announced Wednesday that she will be enrolling at UK in January and will be on the volleyball team. After a redshirt year and a year of playing at Purdue, it looks like she has 3 years of eligibility left, but Andrew, unless I am mistaken, will be done with his eligibility at the end of this school year, so he will have to come back to see sis play.
