2011: Allow the contests to COMMENCE!!!!!




Well, men, after an always lengthy off-season, and a 3-second dry-hump of a football season, alas.... it's basketball time!




The Commonwealth's team stands on the shoulders of Calipari's first two teams -- teams that, despite their youth, were able to "put it all together" and treat us all to two memorable years of basketball and leave previous disappointments far, far away in the program's rear view mirror.

Without spending another second on the past, let me just state the obvious: these are great times to be a UK fan -- from the constant buzz in the program, to the pride we can always take when our guys step out onto the court. And all credit goes to Calipari, with some even deservedly going to Lee Todd and Mitch Barnhart for making a call that admittedly was (at least to me) kind of like asking the girl of your dreams to go steady after she's just spent 5 years away at Arizona state -- huge potential for boners, but also a fear of what might be hiding in the vagina that could end up burning you at some point.

But I digress...

I couldn't be much happier with where we've been the past two years, how we're positioned this year, and with the way Coach appears to have us set up for years to come.

I don't have much analysis or news at this point (although I look forward to our man Shane quenching our thirst when such opportunity avails). I do have great excitement, as always, and I know you dudes do as well.

Friday will be my 5th installment of Big Blue Madness, and I can't wait.

All my life, I've lived by a code. And the code is simple: honor the gods, love your woman, and cheer heartily and mightily for the Blue & White.

UK is mother to us all.

Let the games begin!
