(LEXINGTON)- Kentucky took down Little Rock on Friday night in Rupp Arena 69-49 to mark the open of their three game exhibition season. I don’t know how much we can really tell as fans from a game like this, but I did think a few things stood out against Travis Ford’s newest team. Kentucky Might Be Better on Defense Than Originally Thought All offseason the narrative that this team would be able to score the basketball in bunches but couldn’t defend anyone with a pulse was sh

(LEXINGTON)- On Saturday the BBN will find out if Kentucky football has truly turned the corner. The past two weeks have given fans plenty of reason to believe that it, in fact, has. Kentucky walked into Kyle Field and walloped the Aggies for Will Stein’s first signature win roaming the sidelines for the Cats. Then Kentucky came home and handled an inferior South Alabama team after playing with their food in the first half and covered the spread. Now comes Shane Beamer and th

(LEXINGTON)- Well, that escalated quickly. Just a mere seven days ago Kentucky walked into their home locker room at Kroger Field after taking thumping from the Tide. THIRTY TWO unanswered points in the Second Half of a nationally televised game that was (supposed) to be Will Stein’s coming out party left a lot of BBN (myself included) feeling as if we might be in for yet another long football season. It presented the first-year coach with his real test. Not in the playbook,

LEXINGTON- Okay, I was busting at the seam with the Week 1 Kool Aid and convinced myself Kentucky was beating Alabama in the sport of football. I was as wrong as wrong could be, lambasted for it on social media (deservedly so), and had to take it on the chin. But, I did develop my first real on-field take of the Will Stein era. Now, putting the nail in the coffin on Will Stein would be like getting fired on your first day. Only reserved for the worst of actions, of which los

LEXINGTON- Kentucky kicked off a new era from Kroger Field on Saturday. Excitement around Lexington was tangible as the Big Blue Nation was ready to turn the page on the Mark Stoops era and welcome the new sheriff to town. Kentucky won the game decisively, 45-13 in the blistering bluegrass heat on Saturday. It was so hot in fact, that over 100 heat related calls were made to first responders at the game from fans that underestimated the power of the sun. (It’ll burn ya) Photo

LEXINGTON- There once was a time where finding a player of a rival team to hate was easy. Simple even. You’d have guys (or gals) terrorize your beloved team for multiple years wearing the same putrid jersey that they always have. Think of Christian Leattner. He wasn’t “misunderstood” at all. There was no need to dive into the stats to find an irredeemable reason as to why you were screaming at a 20-something year old through your TV. He was dirty, he was brash, he was cocky,

LEXINGTON- The dog days of summer are almost over and that brings us into the Kentucky Athletics calendar itching with newfound excitement that this fanbase hasn’t felt in quite some time. After notable recruiting hauls across multiple sports (Kentucky is the only school to rank in the Top 10 of each MBB, WBB, FB, and Baseball in the Transfer Portal) there is tangible reason for that excitement. Every season has its stars, but every once in a while a player becomes the face o

LEXINGTON- Unlike Men’s Basketball, hope doesn’t spring from eternal optimism surrounding the Kentucky Football program. In fact, some might call the word “hope” a curse word if you’ve watched enough Wildcat Football over the years. We’ve all been in this position before. Every offseason has the buzzwords that fill social media and newspapers weekly. Phrases like “new energy”, “culture change”, and dare I say it “explosive offense” are thrown around to get clicks up and hype

Learning isn't a one-size-fits-all process. At a neurological level, when you encounter new information, your brain activates multiple regions simultaneously. Your sensory cortex is processing what you see, hear, or feel. Your prefrontal cortex is making meaning of it. Your memory systems are deciding whether to keep it.

LEXINGTON- If a genie popped out of a bottle and gave me three wishes I might wish to like The Basketball Tournament. I want to like it, I really do, but the players make it impossible. Every summer teams of alumni from around the country assemble teams to compete in “The Basketball Tournament” with $2 million going to the winning team to divide amongst the players. The idea sounds incredible on paper. Bringing beloved players back for another run in their Alma mater’s colors

By Jeffrey Reno, Founder · Untd We Stnd July 13, 2026 · I spent years behind a camera before I ever thought about building a learning platform. Film teaches you one thing faster than anything else: attention is sacred. You get a few seconds to earn it, and if you waste those seconds, you've lost the person permanently. There are no second chances in a frame. The audience doesn't care how hard you worked. They care about what they feel. I never expected that lesson to become t
