The “CATSPY Awards” are UK’s version of the popular awards show held by ESPN called the “ESPY Awards”. It’s like the Oscars meets UK Athletics and the way UK fans feel about their Wildcats, these guys/gals are all celebrities.
The CATSPYs were held last week, but I thought this might be a good time to visit these videos in an effort to give us all a break from the Terrence Jones saga. [PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]You do know what’s going on with Terrence Jones, right? If not, that might not be a bad thing. I’m not sure if I’ve been watching a recruiting story or a less beefier version of WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment). It’s like the soap opera that never ends…..
So let’s get started with our look at the CATSPYs. This intro video is very nice. I love the way you get to see how each coach motivates their team.

Next up is a tribute to the seniors. Don’t look for many basketball highlights in this one. Come to think of it, there probably wont be any basketball highlights until someone decides to stay more than one/two years.

The basketball team did get it’s 2,000 win this year. This was highlighted in this video named “One Shinning Moment”. I’m thinking they should have picked a different name for that one. It makes me think of NOT winning a national championship. I’m not saying we didn’t have a great season, I just think a different name might keep people from thinking about the one thing that we didn’t accomplish.

The CATSPY equivalent to “Best Picture” or “Album of The Year” is the “Mr. and Miss. Wildcat” awards. Here’s a video that was played before they announced the winners.

Hope you enjoyed our mini recap of the CATSPYs. Now you can get back to stalking Terrence Jones. I hear he has been hanging out at the house watching TV all weekend. I also hear he has a runny nose.
That’s funny, I’ve been doing the same thing all weekend. Never knew I had so much in common with a guy that picked UW over UK. I guess a runny nose and TV watching is the beginning and end of our similarities.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and GO CATS!!
