Kentucky student section has always been original
I've always enjoyed pictures of the UK student section. Doesn't matter what game, they are always one of the most creative in coming up with something that will make SportsCenter OR (the next best thing) my blog.

Today changed me. I’m a new person now. A better person now.
Take a bow Chuck...
I'm just a guy who has been in the right place at the right time. That's all I can say.
I knew I wanted to do sports radio, so my mentors told me to start interning IMMEDIATELY. So I did. At 15, I got offered an internship to help with the high school sports coverage at WAVG 1450 in Jeffersonville, Ind., which to this day, I am grateful for.
That first game in August, we traveled to Evansville, and I kept stats. And then out of nowhere, I was asked if I wanted to do give out the stats over the air. Well, hell yeah. It sounded terrible. But somehow over time, I parlayed that into becoming a substitute color analyst, then a play-by-play man for some state tournament football games (including calling one as Rex Grossman, now a Chicago Bear, QBd for Bloomington South HS). It turned into calling some state finals football games at the RCA Dome, some state finals basketball games at Conseco Fieldhouse, and a state championship baseball game at Victory Field in Indianapolis.
Then, I was lucky enough to get hired at ESPN Radio in Louisville, and here I am.
I know how lucky I am, believe me.
