With baseball’s NCAA Tournament run coming to an end, so has another season in UK Athletics. It started with women’s soccer and ended with
baseball. In between were freshman debuts, senior farewell, exhibitions
and even a national championship game. There were record-breaking performances, program firsts, returns to prominence and, of course, No. 8.In a clear indication of how much different the summer months are going to be, I had time this morning to go back and count how many UK games I personally attended.The verdict? 115.The season began back in late August, so that means I was at nearly 13 games per month, or one every 2.35 days. But for the next 75 days or so, there will be none. For now, I’m grateful for the chance to relax, but I imagine it won’t be long before withdrawal sets in.
Of course, there will be plenty to do in between. We have plans for a summer series we are still hashing out and knowing John Calipari, you can rest assured he’ll have something up his sleeve to keep us all busy before fall camp rolls around for football.All that’s to say that things will be a little slower around here during June and July. We will still be posting regular content, but the features, live blogs, videos and photos you’ve gotten used to will be a bit more sparse. Anyway, thank you for helping to make this season, my first working full time at UK, so memorable.
