Kentucky Poem

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I remember seeing this before, thought I would share..


UK

What is Kentucky basketball?
It's not a coach.
It's not a player.
It's pride....tradition.


It's a 5 year old with a cat paw on his cheek saying, "Beat Louisville!"
It's not a game.
It's not a season.
It's pride....tradition.


It's expecting to be dancing every year where most pray to be.
It has no beginning.
It has no end.
It's pride....tradition.


It's waiting for midnight madness when the March buzzer rings.
Players that come are in awe of it.
Players that leave treasure it.
Players that oppose despise it.
It's pride....tradition.


It's getting the best from every opponent in hopes to top it.
Rupp built it.
Hall polished it.
Sutton shamed it.
Pitino restored it.
Calipari obsesses over it.
It's pride....tradition.


Keightly has served it.
Happy sang to it.
Cawood lived it.
It's pride....tradition.


Digger hates it.
Vitale and Packer are jealous of it.
McGuire realized it.
It's pride....tradition.


What is Kentucky Basketball?
It's "Blue and White" and "Go Big Blue"
It's "C!-A!-T!-S! Cats!, Cats!, Cats!"
It's pride....tradition.


It's more than a pastime
It's more than a hobby.
To some it's a religion.
It's pride....tradition.
It's K-E-N-T-U-C-K-Y on the jerseys.


Win or Lose, that's all that matters to me.
