My daughter Jacqueline Hake (she's 9) with Anthony Davis 4/23/13 getting  his autograph before the Taylor Swift concert at Rupp Arena!!   We were lucky enough to be in Lexington the SAME day as Anthony Davis AND  Nerlens Noel were at the Fayetteville Mall signing autographs! We are a  military family and have for the last 3 years lived in San Diego and now  (since July 3) we are living in Yokosuka, Japan.  The kids have been moved  quite a lot, but one thing remains constant! They are both (I also have a 6  year old son) ARE HUGE UK FANS!!!  She was super excited this day, not only  to see Taylor Swift (who put on a fabulous concert!!!), but also because  she got to meet Anthony Davis!! While we were in Kentucky (my home state)  before moving to Japan, we were also lucky enough to add Darius Miller and  Twany Beckham to our UK basketball!! We also bought an autographed poster  of both Anthony Davis and Nerlens Noel for my Dad who is also a HUGE UK fan  and started the BIG BLUE NATION in our house!!!! My girls Courtney (shorter one-7) and Jacqueline (taller one-9) in Rupp  Arena before the Taylor Swift concert 4/23/13 and after meeting Anthony  Davis and Nerlens Noel at Fayetteville Mall :-)

Cindy Carlton Estes:  These photos were all taken at UK Fan Day 3013. The first one is my husband and my brother In law, both of whom have had major  strokes. They are huge UK fans and were beyond excited to be there that day! My brother in law is legally blind and couldn't see very much at all, but was just like a kid at Christmas! I've never met anyone who loves  football more than these two.

Rick Scrogham: This is my cousin Jeff Lewis and I after rushing the field when we beat  Tennessee! This is my stuffed wildcat with a bunch of my UK basketballs. The Cat has a stuffed cardinal bird in its mouth and 3 more cardinals holding up  the ball that he is standing on. This is my cousin Jeff Lewis and I at the UK basketball game when they had the camera there doing the 360 degree pic in Rupp Arena. We watched for the camera to turn our way every time and threw up the 3 Goggles!

“My bestie and I were given tickets to the UK vs Florida game a couple years ago. We were told the tickets were 9 rows back from the bench. We got there and the seats were actually the highest seats in the house, against the wall .Not what we thought, but still worth the three hour drive to see our boys WHOOP some Gator tail!! No seats a bad seat when watching Big Blue in action!”
