“We celebrated my mother’s 85th birthday on November 23, 2011 by taking her to her first ever UK basketball game. The Wildcat even came over to wish her a Happy Birthday! It completely put a check mark on her bucket list!!!”
I was happy to catch this moment in Rupp Arena for my friend Susan. A year later at the Champions Classic in Chicago, I found her again with her husband Bud.
“We were having a great time in anticipation of a big Wildcat win, and we were so surprised to see you that night! I think it is one of the best shots of Bud. Sadly, Michigan State beat us, but I still love this photo.”
I’m telling the stories of Big Blue Nation through my photos and your words, one fan at a time. Thanks to Susan for sending me hers! If there’s a favorite photo of you that I’ve taken, send me your stories at heartofbbn@gmail.com or contact me through this site. Otherwise, find me at the next game!
