About Alex »

Names Alex i am a 19 year old History major at the University of Kentucky. I Bleed Blue but i am sensible about it all. (Well I Try to be). I have been watching Kentucky Basketball for as long as i can remember from the '96 national championship to the 2003 undefeated SEC run i have been there for it all since i can remember.

I will mostly write about Kentucky Basketball yet i enjoy all Kentucky athletics so there will be some other ones here and there.

Hey, I saw your articles and I would like to give you an offer for writing for LayupDrill.com for specifically College Basketball. News, updates, injuries, predictions, rankings, and everything in between. Check out the website and get back to me at reebokforthree@aol.com or just post me a comment on my profile.

Brandon.
