...it's a k entucky thang.... #8...going for #9 b ig b lue n ation there's nothing else like it. tradition. ky is basketball! 2012 national champions!

If you're not from Kentucky you have no idea what kind of "Ky fried Hell" is about to take place.  The UK Wildcats versus the UofL Cardinals in the Final Four, Saturday, at 6:09.  This will be the most significant game between these two rivals in that this is the first time they are coming face to face in the Final Four.  This is a meeting that is just short of pure combustion.  We are talking Crips and Bloods here people! Myself, like most typical UK fans, aren't fans of North Carolina, Tennessee, Duke, Indiana and have a very strong dislike for Louisville.  It's all we know.  It's how we were raised.  It's in our blood.  We bleed UK blue! In Kentucky, basketball means more than politics and religion (some will argue that basketball is our religion), and on the days that UK plays Louisville you don't make plans, you sit and you watch.   It's tradition.  It's legendary.  It's basketball in Kentucky. Go Big Blue!   Out...

Big Blue Nation #1.  GO CATS! Being born and raised in Murray, Kentucky, we were brought up to love Kentucky Basketball.  You didn't have a choice.  So, naturally we are raising our boys to do the same.  Game day at our house gets a little loud and rowdy and I love it.  Being an only child, my house was pretty quite, so even though I often complain of being the only girl in our family of six, I wouldn't trade my boys and their love for KY basketball for anything.  Although I did have to put my foot down when they wanted to fly a big blue flag from the front of my new house, we eventually came up with a compromise  and it was decided they can fly their blue and white from our camper.   And in case you haven't heard about our Murray State Racers, who are now 20-0 and ranked #9 on the coaches poll.  I'm posting the link to a song that has been remixed and dedicated to the Racers.  Talk about a pre-game song to get you pumped!  Ba...

Could it get any better than this? Maybe, but not likely.  What are the odds that this small town in Wyoming, that we now proudly call home, has a Taco John's ?  Now, not everyone here has the same respect for the Potato Ole's, cheese dip, Pizza burger and Mexi Rolls that I do, mainly people that are from Texas and just don't understand the concept of Mexican fast food. However, all my Murray, Kentucky peeps who grew up with that six pack and a pound know where I'm coming from when I say Taco John's is on my "have to eat at list" every year when we travel back home.  And though we may not admit it, we all secretly get a little rage of jealousy when we read on Facebook about someone's trip home and they have 'checked in' at Taco John's. Or what about when somebody is on a road trip and they post that they have stumbled upon a Taco John's and they are now enjoying something out of that brown paper bag and then us folks that live in Taco...
