Good morning, Big Blue Nation. How was your evening? Spent with friends and family, I hope. ‘Tis the season after all. Your Kentucky Wildcats are headed home for the next few days to recover, before packing back up and returning to Lexington for three days, for what will surely be intense workouts in preparation for Louisville. We fans still have a ways to get ready for the big day, but the time is coming for our Cats to make a statement.
Let’s hit the links. I’m getting way too excited this early in the morning.
**********
– Kentucky point guard Ryan Harrow had a big day yesterday, and the national media took notice. The sophomore transfer is being asked to lead, which means being more vocal and more aggressive.
– The Lexington Herald-Leader got its hands on the records of season ticket holders in Rupp Arena. So you can go onto the internet and search who has season tickets, how much they paid for them, and where the seats are located. Any guesses to why this massive database of rather personal information was published?
– Louisville is focused solely on the team it hasn’t beaten in its last four tries, losing by an average of nearly 10 points. The defending national champions, your Kentucky Wildcats. Is the pressure on Rick Pitino and the Cardinals to solidify their place in the national picture? Or John Calipari and the Wildcats to prove they are the undefeated top-dog in the state?
– Kentucky recruit Dakari Johnson helped his team capture the City of Palms Classic Saturday in Fort Myers, Florida. Johnson and No. 3 Montverde Academy knocked off sharp-shooting Lone Peak out of Utah, 66-45. The Knights from Lone Peak are the No. 1 team in the country according to MaxPreps. Johnson finished with 10 points, 11 rebounds and four blocked shots.
– If you haven’t voted in the EA Sports NCAA Football cover vote, what are you waiting for? This first round of voting is just to make the next round of 32, but what better way to show the power of Big Blue Nation that pull out a victory in the fan vote? Kentucky holds a narrow edge of about 1,000 votes over second-place Penn State. Log on to Facebook and vote for the Cats.
– The Louisville Courier-Journal sat down with UK Athletic Director Mitch Barnhart for a one-on-one regarding the football program, the staffs of new and old, and the future of Commonwealth Stadium. It isn’t earth-shattering news, but worth a read on your Sunday morning. Get excited about football, Big Blue Nation. This is a good time to be a football fan.

Not that it is big deal…. But its abit different that a high school basketball team in UTAH has the #1 team in country yet cool at same time!
December 23rd, 2012 at 10:43 am
If this team is in my hands we are screwed.

The university is going to go after season ticket holders who sell to scalpers. I hate this as I am a ticket holder, and I cannot go to every single game. Use to give them away, but that was when tickets were $25 each. Now they are $40, so it will get pretty expensive. Now I sell some to cover the ticket cost. I know in some cases those tickets have ended up in a secondary market foor over face. So will I now lise my tickets because a friend of a friend of a friend sold them for $10 over face value?

Pitino is the one obsessed with UK; UK haunts Rick every day & is one of the things that has caused him to lose his mind, dignity, and all self respect. UK has killed Rick on the court, Cal makes Rick look old (even with Rick hair plugs & Grim Reaper look) & out of date every time Cal brings in another #1 class, Rick is constantly reminded of as he stated in his book: Leaving UK was the worst decision he made. Rick having to watch UK & Cal win the National Championship is a whole new hell for him; it’s just more UK salt on Rick wounded ego. Rick went to Boston & that was a disaster, and he hasn’t won a championship at UL. UL should beat UK, we just lost our entire championship team putting them in the NBA. If UL doesn’t beat UK after returning their entire Final 4 team, then Rick should give back his entire salary & retire. Rick & UL fans better enjoy this year win because it will more than likely be the last time UL even has a chance in Cal era.
The media no longer knows how to report news & they have become nothing but gossip reporters. Season Ticket holders should be beyond pissed !!

4) how ya figure?? Harrow has looked better and better since coming back. He is the
only PG that can get into the lane and break down the defense.

#4-You are a sorry excuse for a poster. Go back to your hovel and stay there. You are a moron.

I have been a season ticketholder at Rupp for over 20 years. Searched that database. My name is not in in it. Either it is incomplete or incorrect. I have tix in the first row of the upper arena that does NOT require a K fund donation. Maybe the list contains only names of K fund donors. Either that or UK has already yanked my tix for the reason #5 says. LOL
December 23rd, 2012 at 11:27 am
i hate to say but UL will blow us out
December 23rd, 2012 at 11:36 am

#8,will you hold my hand? I need support.
December 23rd, 2012 at 12:17 pm
4&10 are some of these people who never played sports in their life. Waddle over to the tv and turn channels when UK plays and stay in looserville.
December 23rd, 2012 at 12:22 pm
Does any business try to alienate its customer base more than the LHL?
December 23rd, 2012 at 12:22 pm
#13, I played last night. Didnt you see me. idiot
December 23rd, 2012 at 12:44 pm
Your obviously the Idiot turd fan athlete want to be. As close as you ever got to any kind of game is when you waddle over to the tv and find the CATS on cause your u of turds are not on. Classless fat boy.
December 23rd, 2012 at 1:04 pm
Harrow is simply incapable.
Louisville beats that SEC team down the road.
LHL is NOT gonna invade MY privacy.
I love the name DakTari(…love JOHNSON too).
December 23rd, 2012 at 1:08 pm
17. we all kinda figured you loved Johnsons, but thanks for removing all doubt. tard
December 23rd, 2012 at 1:39 pm
#12-Wow. What wit you display. Is that your best? You were told to go to your hovel. Go. Now.

Only K fund donation required tickets are posted. Being a state university an open records request UK has to give all their tax information. Comes with any tax exempt company. I work for a City government and the local newspaper post each employee’s annual pay.
December 23rd, 2012 at 4:25 pm
Interesting that city of Louisville has app 550 people with season tickets to UK, representing over 2500 seats. We are UK, THE STATE UNIVERSITY
December 23rd, 2012 at 5:01 pm
You may be correct, 20, but our tickets are on the list, and we are not required to donate. There’s a place on the application for a donation, and we have left it blank for 18 years. Somehow, we have received tickets for every venue offered(Barclay, Ga.Dome, Freedom Hall, SEC tourney,etc), as well as the season tix.
Regarding scalpers, this gives any scalper/tix service with a bit of initiative a contact list of potential ticket sellers, doesn’t it?
Either I’m missing something, or this data being available is real dumb.
