If you know Josh and I then you know we LOVE UK basketball. Stacey can sometimes obtain tickets from her work and was able to get 4 tickets to the New Years Eve game. We were so excited and when we actually walked into Rupp Arena, Josh and I had parma-grins!! It was like we were kids at Christmas! Not only were our seats awesome, our company awesome, but the whole "club" experience was pretty awesome!!
 |
| we were "VIP" people in the club - I don't really know if we were VIP, but we soaked it up! |
 |
| eating all the yummy snacks that "VIP" people get |
 |
| here they come!! |
 |
| #7 Andrew Carr |
 |
| #22 Amari Williams (he ended up being Player of The Game!) |
 |
| #00 is my favorite! Otega Owen |
 |
| #11 Travis Perry - good ol' KY boy from just up the road from us in Lyon County. It was fun to hear so much about him as he finished up high school and then watch him play |
 |
| pretty sweet jacket |
 |
| this young man was one of the first UK basketball commits for the next season (he has since recommitted...) |
 |
| Josh wanted to stick around to watch the radio show - he also hoped to get his magazine with Coach Mark Pope signed. That's Amari Williams (#22 Player of The Game) talking to the host |
 |
| we got to hear Mark Pope talk |
 |
| the magazine Josh is holding up has Mark Pope on it when he played for UK in the '90s (we didn't get it signed this time...) |
 |
| Time to celebrate Stacey's birthday!!! (and NYE- though I was in bed by 11!) |
 |
| Jeff and Michelle Schmidt, me and Josh, Stacey and Jarrett |
 |
| we cannot take a serious picture... |
 |
| nor can the Malones |
 |
| at some underground bar that I don't remember the name of but we were clearly no longer young |
 |
| I think it's called The Stagger Inn - and these two dudes are super country |
 |
| my drink had a horse head in it! |
 |
| NYE kisses long before midnight because we are too old to stay up that late anymore! |
