The sudden passing of Terrence Clarke should provide us as the BBN with some vital life lessons. We all need to treat each other with more courtesy and respect, & stop with the ridiculously petty BS on here. Life isn't promised to anyone. Love your family & friends hard.

I’m still baffled how
@KentuckyMBB
& Kansas have the same exact record (25-6) and Kansas is a 1 seed over UK despite the Wildcats absolutely embarrassing the Jayhawks at home.
It was a beatdown of epic proportions.
Anthony Davis won the title as a freshman, NPOY, Naismith Award winner, FF MVP, became the
#1
draft pick, and in addition won a NBA championship and a Olympic gold medal.
Mon: UK men's hoops def. St. Joe's

GREAT WEEK TO BE A WILDCAT!
The UK women's hoops team get their 900th all time win.
JJ Weaver announces his return for football.
UK men's hoops land another star recruit in Billy Richmond AND crushes UL on their court.
ANOTHER TERRIFIC DAY TO BE A WILDCAT!

Never expected him to take a long distance shot in crunch time in the conference opener on the road, but I'm glad he hit it! All the Bradshaw haters can shut up now.
All of the

came together yesterday to honor 22.
Average score of both teams:22
Yesterday's month and day added together:22.
UK stopped ARK at the 22 yard line to seal the win.
Coincidence? I think not!

I'm done with the basketball vs football drama. It's gotten WAY out of hand. BOTH teams are in for big years, so can we please drop the childish nonsense? LET'S PLAY SOME BALL AND ENJOY IT, DAMNIT!

It took months and countless people helping Oscar Tshiebwe navigate visa laws to find a way to earn NIL $.
Now Oscar is open for business, and it’s a game-changer. For him and Kentucky.
His mom is coming to America. He might be coming back to school.

Let's not panic BBN! Yes, he clearly stated that he's testing the NBA waters but has left the door open to come back. Don't push him out with tagging him in posts & snide remarks in his mentions. Let's give him some encouragement please!
#BBN
Abby Steiner was 25 meters back & she came back & help the Cats win the title! Simply amazing! This is a testament that the media should start respecting & acknowledging female athletes more often.
Hate this for him, but he honestly deserves to be at a place where he's beloved and respected. A lot of UK fans and some media members dumped way too much on him.
Hate that today is the last regular season game. I've had too much fun watching the Cats this year. But if UK ends up winning it all, I'm apologizing ahead of time cause I'll gonna be super extra on here & you may not like me anymore. 😅 Go Cats!
#BBN
STOP tagging the players and posting negative stuff at them because they either had a bad game or decide to go somewhere else. This has been a problem for a while and needs to stop! Nothing good comes from a whole grown adult attacking 18-22 year olds for their life choices.
Vs. Ole Miss, UK will look go to undefeated at Rupp Arena for the sixth time under John Calipari:
2009-10: 18-0

2020-21: 5-6
2021-22: 17-0
My wish for him is to lead the team out of the tunnel during the Georgia game. The atmosphere that day will already be emotional & electric & considering all he's been through, it's only right.

Just a quick PSA for the Bluegrass Fellowship of the Miserable:
If you've already hopped off the bandwagon for whatever reason, don't bother hopping back on. No need to bring the whole fan base down.
Are they really that pissed that they have a Kentucky guy as starting QB for the Volunteer State's NFL team and he threw 4 TDs in his debut AND they won? And this is how the head coach responds? He should be fired, or suspended for a few games at least.
These announcers' obvservation: "You can start to put Kentucky in the same conversation as Alabama, Auburn, & Tennessee."
My observation: "We never left the conversation."
Calipari on Tubby Smith:
“I want he, his wife and the kids to understand that this place, these fans, this school, this state absolutely appreciate what he did while he coached here.”
I honestly wasn't looking forward to the game tonight simply because we all know how Kansas is at home. Never would I have expected the Cats to come out swinging like this but I absolutely LOVE IT!
#BBN
The last few months have been a challenge but the support of you all has helped me get through this time. Really appreciate y'all! Glad to make yet another trip around the sun! Here's to the divine 39!
#ScorpioSeason
I'm not on the "Fire Stoops" train but I will say this: If you're gonna talk the talk, then you damn sure better walk the walk. Don't tell us, show us.
of Kentucky football's 9 wins this year, ONE came against a team with a winning record: 6-5 Chattanooga, an FCS team.
UK played three FBS teams that had regular season winning records... Cats went 0-3.
You seriously have to be the most miserable person on earth as a BBN fan if you haven't enjoyed Saturday's beatdown of UNC followed by tonight's crushing of the Tops that included Oscar's glass shattering performance. And another FYI: Kentucky NEVER LEFT THE CONVERSATION!
#BBN
I wear all my Kentucky gear while living here in Indiana and I don't give a flat damn who likes it or not! I came into the world as a native Kentuckian and I will leave a native Kentuckian! Big Blue all day!
#BBN
😃😎🔵👍✊
Kentucky may be the only school where we can have the starting backcourt out with foul trouble & still look every bit like a top 5 team. That's the stuff that national title contenders are made of.
I'm probably one of the most optimistic UK fans in the fan base and I'll admit that games like today have tested that, but I'm not throwing in the towel. Am I irritated? Yes. But am I going to stop watching? No. Regardless of the good, bad, and ugly, I'll always be BBN for life!
The last 4 years have brought a level of excitement & electricity to the UK football program that's never been seen before. It's a testament that Stoops is the right man for the job, and any slander toward him will NOT be tolerated! In Mark we trust!
#BBN
#StoopsTroops
BEST WIN OF THE YEAR! UK showed up and OUT for the whole 40 minutes today! This team is young but very uber-talented on so many levels!
Lesson for today: NEVER underestimate the Cats in March. GO CATS!

😸🔵⚪️👏👏👏
My thoughts on today: It was a bad loss, but that doesn't change my outlook on this team. They're still a title contender. This was a reminder that if you're not on your best game then you are likely to lose, regardless of whether you have a ranking next to your team name.
I'm sad but I'm not going ballistic over this. It was an unpredictable year that took me & several other fans through every emotion possible. Still love the Cats and always will! 232 days until the next quest for
#9
begins.
I know the Cats play later today but I can't get fully excited about it knowing that most of the state has been destroyed by these tornadoes & the livelihoods of several people have been suddenly stripped away. Let us all keep those people in our thoughts today.
#KentuckyStrong
St. Joe's dropped 15 threes in Rupp and lost to the Cats in OT. They have 13 threes in what looks like a solid win at Villanova. That would look great for UK's tourney resume.
Just want to say thank you to Coach Cal and everyone at UK who has helped me find the answers to my questions the last few months.
And thank you
#BBN
for all of the love!
After today, and based on the CBB year in general, there's nobody that will convince me otherwise that Kentucky doesn't have a shot to get Phoenix. This team has ALL the tools for a title run.
The 4 stages of the 2018-19 season for UK hoops:
NOV: Are they even gonna make the tournament?
DEC: They won a few big games but may not make it out of the 1st weekend.
JAN: They're playing like a Final 4/National Title team.
FEB: They're a team that can DEFINITELY win it all!
This year has been a rollercoaster of all kinds for me, but I made it. Felt like I hit the bottom, but when you're down, there's nowhere else to go but up. Thanks to everyone who helped me get through this challenging time. I wish you all a Happy New Year. Love y'all!
I've been a Indiana resident for 24 years but regardless of where I am, Kentucky always has been & always will be my home. I may not have been in certain parts of the state & the politics may be messed up but at the end of the day, NOBODY will take the Bluegrass away from me.
Hey y'all, it's been 46 hours since my mental breakdown but I'm doing better now. It's okay to not be okay & reach out for help. Thanks for all the supportive messages and thoughts! It's nice to know there are some great people in the world. Love y'all!
THERE YOU HAVE IT! Stoops gets his well deserved contract extension & will also be the winningest coach in program history during this time! So for the rest of you that are still thinking he leaves, I close with this: "PUT THE SHUT TO THE UP! HE'S NOT GOING ANY DAMN WHERE!"
#BBN
“I’m excited to continue to build this program to national prominence. We’re on our way and I’m more confident in Kentucky football than I’ve ever been.”
STORY from
@MrsTylerKSR
:
UK Statement on Chris Rodriguez: “We have confirmed the issue was a scheduling mistake in Chris’ attorney’s office. They are diligently working to get it corrected. The student-athlete was not required to attend. “
Hell of a win by the Cats! Their backs were against the wall but they responded with a collective team effort! Still plenty of work to do, but this was a big win & another boost to their tournament resume. GO CATS!

That really pissed me off just now! The refs called basket interference on Oscar. Where the hell was that back on February 12, 2019 against this dirty ass LSU team?
Ty Ty has been an absolute blessing to this team! Hate those injuries but he should be okay. There's also NO REASON for some fans to criticize him so harshly when they weren't the ones on the court. Hopefully he runs it back!
Chris was able to pull himself up today without assistance. You can see my fingers are not touching his back. My hand is there in case he needs support. He lowered himself down and controllednhis descent.
He has seen some great improvements over the past few weeks.
Yesterday was NOT a dream or a drill. Kentucky defeated Kansas handily in Phog Allen Fieldhouse! And yes as you can see, I taped the game and now rewatching all 40 minutes of that glorious victory!
#BBN
I'm not losing sleep over tonight. It is what it is. We still have a damn good team very capable of cutting down the nets in April. Plus, I'm too grown to go back & forth with fans of other teams about who's program is more successful cause I know the story. That is all.
I really don't get why some fans are wanting Oscar to leave. He's a 2 time Wooden All-American, All-SEC player & amassed over 1,000 rebounds in just two years. He did what he could. Wish him the best if he leaves but I'll be happy if he comes back.
Focus on your own personal well being. Make sure you're getting enough rest, keeping your finances in order, & stimulate your mind with things that help you grow.
A couple weeks ago, we launched a campaign to hang a billboard outside of the NCAA Eligibility Center so that their employees could see it every day on the way to work.
Kentucky fans raised the money in less that 4 hours. BBN is like that!
Today, the billboard is up!!
#FreeBigZ
This whole thing with the Sharpe speculation is irritating as hell. If he's eligible to play & feels like he can then he will. And if he's not then that's okay because we still have a damn good team! Stop making a big deal about something that may or may not happen!
Seth Greenberg made some VERY cogent points on First Take about Cal, and I honestly couldn't agree more.
"Swaggy Cal needs to go. Old School Cal needs to come back."
"He's been behind the curb for the last several years."
