broadside of a barn.....

ok, so...for the first time in the 26 years we have lived in kentucky, we were offered uk tickets...for the season home opener against vmi......lots of drama getting to the vicinity of rupp arena after both of us finished work, manged traffic, rain, and parking issues....and security and finding people in our seats.....we sat down within moments of the tip-off....and i ma here to tell you that i was reminded of the quiddich world cup scene as harry walks into the stadium....major mayhem.....fireworks, strobe lights......seating to the rafters.....and then vmi started hitting un-answered 3-point shots....and for most of the evening vmi was up by 20+ points......there was a brief rush...when uk managed to even the score at 95/95....or maybe it was 97/97.....clearly, neither team had a notion of how to run defense....final score was 108-101...maybe....both teams scored over 100 points and still uk could not manage a win.....they could not dribble, they could not hit the 3-point shot..these highly recruited full scholarship student athletes could not hit the broad-side of a barn...as my daddy used to say.......and yet they scored 100 points.....go figure.......
