BIG BLUE HYSTERIA Luke Troxell wrote this This year’s rendition of Big Blue Madness has a lot more to look forward to than past years. With the star-studded, probably-better-than-yourfavorite-NBA-team roster, the conquest for 40-0 is not out of the picture. Outside of knocking back a few before catching the first glimpse of this year’s basketball team, there are a few other things you can look forward to at BBM this October 17th.

MATTHEW MITCHELL’S DANCE: Like the “No Smoking” sign on campus, UK’s women’s hoops team is often overlooked by many Big Blue Brethren. Nonetheless, Matthew Mitchell’s annual introduction at BBM might be the best fine arts performance to ever occur in the history of time. With past performances featuring dance moves from “Thriller,”“Can’t Touch This,” and “Teach Me How to Dougie,” it’s truly a mystery as to what Mitchell will do this year to awe fans in preparation for Coach Cal. Many speculate he might just come out twerking, while the rest of us figure out why the hell a middleaged man would even consider backin’ that thang up. Bust out that Schmoney dance Matt, show everyone that BBN knows how to party.

COACH CAL’S SPEECH: To all freshmen who have never experienced how we do things around here: When this man—nay, GOD—talks, you shut the hell up. When this man walks past you, you kneel down and kiss his ring. Coach Cal’s speech at Big Blue Madness may be one the most awe-inspiring, motivating, spectacles you’ll ever witness. He’ll definitely exclaim “YOU PEOPLE ARE CRAZY!” and we’ll deliriously applaud in approval. You’re damn right we’re crazy. We fantasize about basketball like Sigma Chi’s dream about Ronald Reagan. He’ll talk about how we’re the gold standard of college basketball, making any Louisville fan watching at home shave his shitty line beard, remove his crusty wife beater, and tweet #BBN in an attempt to fit in with us. The speech will move millions in the BBN in a way that only we could be moved.

THE PRESENTATION: In past years Rupp Arena’s sacred floor has been used as a projector screen, and players have descended from the rafters like Greek gods coming to awe us with their freakish athletic ability. Both are huge

wastes of money to the common man as tuition almost certainly increased in order to provide us with such theatrics. However, let us be with the first to proclaim, when it comes to making UK basketball look better than other programs, spare no expense. Go all out, Mitch Barnhart. Blow shit up, retract the roof and fly every player in on a replica of Air Force One, install speakers bigger than Ricky P’s ego to project our shit across the world. Do what you gotta do to have this year’s BBM make the rest of college basketball wish even more that

they could be us. While you should definitely look forward to all these things at Big Blue Madness this year, let us also remind you of the most significant aspect of this year’s season tip-off: THIS IS POSSIBLY THE FIRST GLIMPSE OF COLLEGE BASKETBALL’S FIRST 40-0 TEAM IN 40 YEARS. So get ready BBN, get your ass to Rupp Arena, and show the world why we kick the college basketball world’s ass.
