Today on KSR: The Cats improve to 8-1

Good morning BBN! As UK students are gearing up for the upcoming Finals week, we are officially 10 more days away until CHRISTMAS!!! I cannot wait to get back with my family and get a well-needed break before coming back to school and finishing that degree! A lot has happened in the past day but don't worry, I got you covered, so let's get started!

Men's Basketball defeats Georgia Tech, 67-53

A lot happened yesterday in Rupp for a short span of time. Obviously there was a game that went on but there's a lot to it.

Pregame

First, I don't think Drew was up to the idea of the white pom poms in the lower arena: https://twitter.com/DrewFranklinKSR/status/1205941314505887744?s=20 https://twitter.com/DrewFranklinKSR/status/1205975220642865158?s=20 Next, Dontaie Allen finally received his 2019 Kentucky Mr. Basketball ring https://twitter.com/KentuckyMBB/status/1205971876222324741?s=20 Then, like an every year tradition, the National Anthem was not sung by one person, but an entire arena! (Couldn't find a video but the picture is still amazing!) https://twitter.com/KentuckyMBB/status/1205974183722786818?s=20

Football team makes an appearence

What a fitting way it was to celebrate the football team's success on the last game before the holiday break! It seems like a yearly tradition now but man, that trophy looks more beautiful every time I see it. https://twitter.com/UKFootball/status/1206007114466045953?s=20 Also, to celebrate the fourth bowl game in a row, the Cats decided to throw some footballs into the crowd. Let me tell you, it took a lot of restraint from me to not grab one of these in a sneaky bathroom break scheme before they went on. They were right there and I never got it... I will regret that for a long time! Looked too good!

If you want to see what footballs being thrown looked like in Rupp, then here is KSR's Maggie Davis' video of the whole situation! https://twitter.com/MaggieDavisKSR/status/1205975662584049665?s=20

By the way, Louisville please come get your man...

Via @LSUFootball[/caption] So, last night the 85th Heisman Trophy winner was announced and LSU quarterback Joe Burrow was proclaimed as the winner. Let me tell you something though, that was such an emotional speech. I couldn't get through it without tearing up. If you can get a chance to go back and watch it, you should. https://youtu.be/Zq68naJBdW0 What a night for the former Ohio State transfer! Congrats Joe! And for one night only... https://twitter.com/HardFactorWill/status/1206027845086003201?s=20

A very cool story about Lexington-native and LA Dodger Pitcher Walker Buehler

https://youtu.be/qTPnb5yNj20 Watching him in this past postseason was amazing and to see the recognition he has gotten since being the majors has been amazing to see! Keep dealing Walker, the state of Kentucky is behind you!
