This is my stage!!
Does anyone know if the celebration will be aired on a lexington channel?
Please, don’t cave in and pay those bastard scalpers. This is a free event.
Coach Cal on Mike n Mike in two minutes
What channel will it be on in Louisville?
Oop, nevermind.
Thank goodness it is being shown in Louisville.
Wish I could be there my fellow Kentuckians. Down here in Georgia, we are praying for a live stream.
Go Big Blue!
Hey gang…. We are the Champions! It just feels so good to type it, say it, whatever… I’m still stoked! Please excuse me.
Don’t worry about it, RidgeRunner. I got a little misty-eyed last night, and it still hasn’t totally hit me; probably won’t until we HANG THAT BANNER!
Live out of state, but … WISH I COULD BE THERE!!! CHEER EXTRA LOUD!!!!!!
I’ve been a vocal critic of Cal in the past. But what he did with this team was amazing. They are good kids, played for the fans and were very unselfish.
Cal did in 3 years what Pitino will never do at UofL – win a National Championship. Cal not only proved me wrong, but haters like Digger and Bobby Knight. Dick Vitale can suck it.
“One and dones can’t win it all,” was all I heard. No sir, the best TALENT can always win it all. Cal and his boys proved that last night. I am happy for Darius Miller. He deserved that win.
What’s even better than #8 is the see that my beloved Lexington is still one piece the morning after. Thanks Kids!
GO CATS!
Cal is King!
GOOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!! national champs!!!!!
Oh man I wish I could be in Lexington today instead of here at work 13 hours away. 🙁 Does anybody know if there are any plans to stream the celebration online?
wow…krogers had shirts at 8 am
I also would like to congradulate Darius Miller! Everybody did what they needed to do! If AD is the MOP, then Lamp should have been MVP of that game! Good job cats.
what time are they handing out tickets?
Got mine but tickets still left. Hauled my daughter (freshman at UK) out of bed at 7 stand in line. Probably 2000 ahead of us but we were given lower arena tix and she got Row A, seat 8’in the student section. Guess not all students have hardo dads! Mrs TT, come on up, looks like I have an extra ticket!
Oh, she had class at 9:30… And a speech to give, which she hadn’t started on yet, which many Cat fans helped her write, while in line!
are there any tickets left? (if so about how many)
If I get up there at noon is there any chance there will be tickets left?
Crap. Just found out I have to do something right at 3/4.
Anyone know if it’ll run again later? Hopefully be able to find it online.
#17 – I LOVE LAMP!!
Will it be shown on ukathletics or anywhere online??? Stuck in northern KY can’t get Lexington tv.
Watched the live stream online and how beautiful it was to not only see the beautiful bluegrass state in all its glorious countryside, but to see the team in Rupp and watch the banner unfold was unforgettable! Living in Cali and repping the Cats!! Gr8ness!
