Lexington, Kentucky, United States, known as the "Horse Capital of the World," is located in the heart of the Bluegrass region. It is the second-largest city in Kentucky, after Louisville, and the 70th largest in the United States. On January 1, 1974 Lexington became the first municipality in the Commonwealth of Kentucky to form a consolidated city-county government by merging with Fayette County. In 2005, the population estimate given by the U.S. Census Bureau was 268,080. Lexington is home to the Kentucky Horse Park, Keeneland race course, the Red Mile race course, a Jif peanut butter plant which produces more peanut butter than any other factory in the world, Transylvania University and the University of Kentucky (UK). The area code (859) spells out UKY. UK's basketball program is immensely popular in the city, and the University of Kentucky Wildcats basketball team have won more games than any other team in college basketball history.

The furniture stores in Lexington better stock up on couches this week because I know of a few homes that’ll be looking to buy. If it’s this crazy after an Elite Eight win, I can’t imagine what it will be like if the Cats win it all. Stay safe, Lexington.

“Those other states have other programs… It’s Kentucky throughout this state.”

As we go through this week, every journalist in America will opine on UK vs UL. Most will have nothing interesting to say. But some are worth reading and we will condense them for you to find in one hearty group: — A TREMENDOUS ARTICLE by Dan Wetzel on the John Calipari-Rick Pitino scenario and [...]

Peyton Siva has gotten a lot of the credit for transforming his game over the past few weeks and helping lead Louisville to the Final Four, but the improvement of center Gorgui Dieng has been equally as critical to the Cards’ success.  On today’s Final Four conference call, Louisville coach Rick Pitino talked about Dieng’s [...]

If there’s ever been a time to rep your team in this state, it’s this week as the Cats and Cards get set to square off at the Final Four in New Orleans.  Fan Outfitters has all of your official UK Final Four gear, so make sure you’re on your “A” game this week.  There’s [...]

The Onion, a satire news website, made a diagram comparing the strengths and weaknesses of Anthony Davis. It’s similar to the one of John Calipari from a few weeks ago. My favorites: Strong Side: Needs only one more solid growth spurt to place his nose above that mustache on his forehead. Weak Side: Looks carefully [...]

Today’s show needs no introduction. It’s the first of five shows leading up to the biggest college basketball game in the history of the sport’s greatest rivalry. Listen in as Matt Jones looks back at the weekend that set up round 2 of The Dream Game, or join in on the fun by calling (502) 571-1080 [...]

Guess which way is us?  Here’s a hint: it’s “right”. “Why did you choose the University of Kentucky over all of the other options you might have had?” Last weekend I was on a panel at my graduate college for the parents and spouses of admitted prospective students.  The above question was asked, in all [...]

Twenty-nine years ago, Kentucky and Louisville met in the Elite Eight, ending a twenty-four year stretch of not playing each other and launching what could be college basketball’s best rivalry.  And while the 1983 matchup was dubbed “The Dream Game”, this rematch in New Orleans in many ways is The Fantasy Game.  Especially if you [...]

Okay, everyone.  EXHALE.  They did it.  The Cats are off to the Final Four! As the pressure mounted on us fans today, I felt myself getting more and more nervous.  From witnessing the UofL celebrations yesterday to realizing that I would never live it down if UofL made the Final Four and Kentucky did not, I [...]

Kentucky beat Louisville on New Year’s Eve, 69-62, and the Cats open as an even bigger favorite for Saturday’s rematch.  Vegas has set the line at UK -9, the most since Duke was favored over Michigan State by 11 in 1999.  Go Cats.

Kentucky coach John Calipari is only about a week away from a showdown with Rick Pitino and the Louisville Cardinals and unlike his Louisville counterpart, he wasn’t getting into hyperbole too much.  He was just singing the praises of Louisville’s players and telling his team to tune out the rest of the world this week. [...]

The Kentucky basketball team will arrive at Bluegrass Airport tonight at 8:30pm at TAC Air and they’re expected to be greeted by a few thousand of their closest fans.  Maybe Josh Harrellson and this baby?  Maybe.  But definitely a large crowd.  If you’re there, send your photos to tjbeisner@hotmail.com so we can extend the party [...]

Photo by AP Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was named Most Outstanding Player of the South Region.  Joining him on the All-Region team were Anthony Davis and Doron Lamb.  He seemed quite excited about today’s turn of events. Per Kyle Tucker, fans chanted “One more year!” at him while he left the floor.  I love this kid like [...]

Oh Jorts… (h/t kentuckysports.com)

The only reason for this post is really the picture. One of the many story lines from yesterday’s game was Terrence Jones’ unbelievable first half performance. Now, I’m not talking about points–he only scored one of those, but rather all the other little things he did to help push the Cats to a twenty point [...]

The SEC stole Missouri and Texas A&M away from the Big 12, and now the conference is on the verge of stealing the Big 12′s most intimidating and animated head basketball coach. The Kansas City Star and The State are reporting that Kansas State head coach Frank Martin has reached an agreement in principle to become [...]

The awards keep piling in for Kentucky’s star player. Today, Anthony Davis (not pictured) was named to the Associated Press All-American team, along with four other players who are good at basketball. Draymond Green, Doug McDermott, Jared Sullinger, and Thomas Robinson, who is the first unanimous pick since Blake Griffin in 2009, join him on [...]

Time to get ready for battle. I did not sleep well last night. Maybe it’s because I was still wired from an unforgettable weekend, high off Kentucky’s second Final Four appearance in two years, or simply a nervous wreck for the week ahead. Yet, when I got ready for work this morning, I was ready [...]

Let’s put this to rest once and for all: it is impossible to be a fan of both Kentucky and Louisville. I’ve met far too many people in my life who say that they root for both the Cats and the Cards. It just doesn’t work like that. There’s no way support two entities so [...]

Louisville forward Chane Behanan isn’t shy around the media. He has made a couple of absurd comments to the press this season that have left everyone scratching their heads and wondering if he’s overconfident or clinically insane. However, none of those comments are as absurd as what he said last week.  Following Louisville’s Sweet 16 [...]

BBN, you have a mission. The UK sticker on the back of the street sign on the Bourbon Street Live Cam has been covered up. For those of you going down there, please fix this immediately. It makes me uneasy. Mark Krebs, I hope you’re reading.

Ok, not really. Because message boards are filled with keyboard warriors who are capable of making really really dumb comments. But it’s always fun to take a look. Here’s a glimpse into the Louisville fan’s reaction to this weekend and the Final Four. Prepare to be blown away with knowledge. Momentum is a powerful ally [...]
