About

I grew up in Georgia and had planned to attend a school in my home state until the University of Kentucky came calling with a music scholarship. I began attending the school in 1998 and by the time I graduated in 2003, my blood had turned from red to blue. I have a unique perspective on the devotion that we have to our Wildcats because I was not born and raised with it.

I also like bacon.

    Nick, don't be embarrassed. We all make mistakes. No harm, no foul. I wasn't trying to be rude. I apologize if it came off that way.

    Nick, in your article on Oriakhi, you stated he transferred to Missouri University. It's actually University of Missouri. Keep up the good work.
