Get your priorities straight.
At a Kentucky basketball game, a man sitting on the half-court line a few rows up from the floor looks over to his elderly neighbor and notices that the seat next to her is empty.
Amazed that such an awesome seat is not being used, he kindly asks the lady if she knew who owned that seat.
She tells the gentlemen that the seat belonged to her husband, who recently died.
Feeling guilty that he had brought up the subject, and feeling sorry for this fine woman clad in Kentucky blue, alone at a UK basketball game, he asks, "Isn't there anyone who could have come with you to the game so you wouldn't be alone — a son, a daughter, a neighbor, anyone?"
"No," she says, "they are all at the funeral."

GO Big Blue

1. Good luck, era.
Lexington must be jumping. Iowa City was last night and there's nothing going on. Spring fever, I guess.

2. The fools have already burned couches.
The Man is a Cats Fan
Kentucky coach John Calipari and Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun both die and are greeted in heaven by St. Peter.
He takes them to a small cottage and tells Calhoun that this is the home where he will spend eternity.
St. Peter then takes them to a large mansion on top of a hill, with beautiful landscaping and Kentucky flags hanging from the balcony.
Calhoun asks St. Peter why Calipari's house is so much more magnificent than his cottage.
St. Peter tells Calhoun that he has misunderstood: That mansion is not Calipari's house. It's God's.

Room for one more. Go Big Blue
