So, so saddened by the passing of UK’s legendary quarterback @JaredLorenzen22 today at age 38. A really wonderful human being who so loved people & UK fans. A great friend and a Wildcat we’ll all miss. Our prayers to his family during this very difficult time. @UKFootball

A very Happy 70th Birthday to Orlando “Tubby” Smith, former UK basketball coach who clipped 1998 NCAA Final Four nets down in San Antonio. Hope you are having a fantastic day Tubby. Remember, once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat. @CoachTubbySmith is now entering his 4th year @HPUMBB .

There was a day when youngsters played 4 years at a single college. You were a Wildcat for life, or a Vol for life or a Cardinal for life. Then it became a plus one after a 1-time transfer. Then it was a 1-and-done to NBA. Now, it’s high bidder every spring for up to 4 years.

To all of you out there in Big Blue Nation, please stop what you’re doing and place our good buddy Mike Pratt on your daily prayer list. Let’s all join hands with our friend Bob Valvano as we come together in praying for Mike’s 100 percent, complete recovery.

Thinking back 30 years, there have been many “highs & lows” @KentuckyMBB , but if I had to pick the most important recruit during that time, it’d be @jamalmashburn . Not only a terrific player, but what a role model he continues to be. Gave UK $500,000. when he left school for NBA.

Couple hours ago, drove over to Walgreens Pharmacy off Winchester Rd. for drive-thru COVID-19 test. Took less than 10 minutes, never left the car & 45 minutes later I received a phone call telling me I had tested negative. Doesn’t get any better than this. Thank you @Walgreens .

How about our old rival, former Louisville coach Lee Corso being the only expert on ESPN GameDay this morning to predict UK would upset Louisville. Someone out there should create a Wildcat head and ship it to him at ESPN headquarters.

If you somewhat lucky and attending UK-UL game at Rupp Arena tomorrow, be on the lookout for the 2 guys who started all this excitement in 1983 as Joe B. is playing host to Denny Crum and his wife, Susan. Stick a “Sharpie” pen in your jacket & you might score an autograph or two.

This was the toughest moment I ever experienced in covering UK basketball for the past 65 years. @SeanWoods1120 was just devastated as he left the court just seconds after UK’s heart-breaking 104-103 overtime to Duke in ‘92 Elite 8. It still stings today. @KentuckyMBB #BBN

Jamal came to UK when it wasn’t fashionable for major blue-chippers to pick Kentucky following the UK probation in late 1980s. For young BBN fans who never enjoyed seeing Mash play, you should do a little research on just what Mash did & has accomplished since his time here.

I am sad tonight. Very sad at the venom directed to a Wildcat great by some fans. No one (and I mean no one), has ever played for UK with a bigger heart or more love for the “Blue & White” than Kyle Macy. Fans should listen to the full taped interview before lashing out. #BBN
