UK men have to have some guys in the program for a while that embrace the tradition. Winningest team ever in college ball.
Take the packed arenas as a sign of total respect and a compliment. Those fans came to see you not their team. Want to go in there and give those people a show. Block out the crowd. Defend the jersey and send the opposing fans home disappointed. Have them telling their kids how great UK has been forever. Want them to remember it. Also set the tone for the next meet up.
I remember an SEC player asked when he knew they were beat playing UK and he said watching UK in the pre game layup line. Energy and ultimate confidence.
Warriors.
