This is proof positive that snow days are among the top ten things ever. I had a lot of fun on my snow days, but I never did ANYTHING like this…I wish I had. I’ve seen a lot of people doing the John Wall dance in a lot of different places, but never with a snowman version of John Wall.
This is brilliant mix of UK obsession, ingenuity, time, and maybe just the tiniest bit of craziness. I love it.
Also, if you were wondering, the snowman is actually wearing the shorts. Don’t say UK fans aren’t smart.
I’ve gotten some feedback that the original picture doesn’t look quite real, so here’s another look.
The snow wasn’t the only story yesterday. The ‘Cats also had a basketball game.
UK Gets the Win in an Ugly One Against Alabama, 66-55
This season has been a lot of fun. Even when the ‘Cats aren’t firing on all cylinders, I’ve enjoyed it, which is such a welcome change from last year. However, tonight’s win over Alabama was one of the more unenjoyable games of the season to this point.
It started inauspisciously. The first 11 minutes of the game on ESPNU were pre-empted by the end of regulation and overtime of a game between Virginia Commonwealth and George Mason. I was reduced to keeping with UK by watching a little score box in the top right hand part of the screen and watching online gamecasts that lagged about 30 seconds behind the action. By the end, I found myself on the ESPN Contact Us page to let them know about my displeasure.
Unfortunately, it turned out that ESPN was keeping us from watching a choppy, low scoring game that lacked a signature UK run. Alabama did what they have been doing to many of their opponents: never allow them to get in any kind of an offensive flow. Alabama switched it up on defense, zoning Kentucky most of the game (both 2-3 and 3-2) and mixing some man and full court pressure. Alabama, as a team, is relatively incapable of arriving at an offensive rhythm themselves, so it turned into a series of ugly possessions…(click here to read more)

[...] Even though UK never really player very well, they won, and they won pretty comfortably. When I looked at the scoreboard at halftime, UK was up 31-24, and I felt like UK had played badly. Shots weren’t falling, John Wall was giving it away, and in general, UK lacked any kind of zeal. Hey, who knows, maybe they were outside making snow men all day. [...]
