Saturday,
Nov. 19 is going to be quite a day for UK Athletics. The men’s basketball,
football and women’s basketball teams are all going to be in action within a
five-hour time period beginning at noon. I’ve decided to be ambitious and
attempt to cover (and live blog) all three events from back in Lexington, Ky.,
even though only one of the three events is at home.

Here’s how
I’m going to be spending my day:
11:40 a.m. – 12:21 p.m. – Men’s basketball
focus
Location –
My living room
Computer No.
1 – Live blogging
Computer No.
2 – Watching men’s basketball vs. Penn State on ESPN3
I’m going to
be starting my day in the comforts of my living room. The special live blog
will kick off 20 minutes before tip-off of the men’s basketball game against
Penn State and I will be joined by Eric Lindsey of CoachCal.com, who will be
live in Uncasville, Conn. The live blog will open with a preview of the entire
day.
Once the
game gets started, I’m going to use a second laptop to watch UK-Penn State on
ESPN3
while I live blog from the other. For the first 20 minutes or so of the game,
we’ll be offering our normal play-by-play and analysis of the game.
12:21 p.m. – 2 p.m. – Football kicks off,
things get crazy

Tuned to football at Georgia on the SEC Network
With my
computer still logged on to ESPN3, I’ll tune my television to the SEC Network
for the 12:21 p.m. kickoff of UK-Georgia.
While both games are going on, we’ll be offering regular updates and
analysis of both games, but not a full play-by-play.
2 p.m. – 4 p.m. – Move to Memorial Coliseum

Memorial Coliseum

2 – Watching football at Georgia on ESPN3
This is
where things get a little tricky. Fortunately, I live less than five minutes
away from Memorial Coliseum, so when the men’s basketball game is over, I’ll
take a quick break from the live blog to drive over for the women’s basketball
game against Southern Miss.
When I get
there, I’ll take my seat courtside where I’ll (hopefully) have an open spot
next to me to set up my second laptop to keep tabs on the football game against
Georgia. Until 3 p.m., I’ll be focusing solely on the football game, at which
point UK Hoops’ matchup with Southern Mississippi will begin.
4 p.m. – 5 p.m. – UK Hoops takes center
stage
Location –
Memorial Coliseum
Computer No.
1 – Live blogging
When the
football game at Georgia ends between 3:30 p.m. and 4 p.m., the live blog will
shift complete focus to the women’s basketball game against Southern
Mississippi until its conclusion. Following the end of the live blog, we’ll
have postgame coverage of all three games on both Cat Scratches and UKathletics.com
7 p.m. – ??? – Sleep
