Congratulations to this weeks winner in our Fan of the Week Contest, Rita Ballard from Mt. Sterling Ky!! Whoo Hoo!
Featured in the photo is Rita’s 4 month old granddaughter wearing her UK gear and getting ready to watch the Kentucky vs. UConn came during the final 4.This little gal just won her grandmom a UK Tshirt from Wildcat Wearhouse!!
There’s just something about the big blue hair that gets us every time! Love it!
Here are Rita’s interview questions and answers:
[B]• Who is Your Favorite UK Player? [/B] Darius Miller- I watched him play in Montgomery County when he played with Mason County, very talented young man, and he has grown over the last couple of years playing at UK.
[B]• What is Your Favorite UK Memory?[/B]
January 13, 2009, on my birthday Kentucky VS Tenn. and Jodie Meeks scored 54 points that night. What a great Birthday present.
[B]• Why Do you think you are the Ultimate UK Fan?[/B]
I love watching the game and the young men playing and growing together as a team. I watch it on television as I also record it so I can watch it over again, just in case I missed something. I go watch them at Rupp Arena usually twice a year since I have good friends with season tickets and they always give me a set. It is amazing the energy and feeling you have when you are in a building full of UK Fans. Your heart is pounding every second until the final shot. It is fun to watch games when we blow the other team away but it is that thrill sitting on the edge or your seat and just waiting for them to make that winning shot. Like John Wall did several times in 2009-2010 season. That is nothing better than watching UK play on television or in person. I can’t wait for this season to start!
