Schedule releases are usually fairly uneventful. Most of the time, people just check their calendars, input games they want to try to secure tickets for and skim through the rest. For most, it's simply an intriguing release or even just a helpful notice. However, like a flood breaking over the banks of a river, the Kentucky Men's Basketball schedule release had everyone talking about one very specific game.
First, let's look at the schedule. Maybe you can also look at it and say, "I see that game, and I am also going to circle it. I need to be at THAT game!"
Do you see it in there? It's a home game that has everyone eager and ready to boo, yell, and lose their minds, the game that everyone seems to be talking about after this schedule release is:
The return of John Calipari and the team he now coaches, the Arkansas Razorbacks.
Of course, Calipari gets the blood flowing and the frustration bubbling, but it's also that 9 p.m. tip-off time. There's a whole day to prepare for it, and you must prepare in many ways and facets.
I can't even include all the tweets that immediately came out on this schedule release. I didn't see any mention of any other game but that 9 p.m. game against Arkansas. Not one, and most talked about how crazy Rupp Arena would be. One Twitter user said it'll be a zoo. Tyler Thompson from Kentucky Sports Radio said it'd be a fever pitch.
Is this the game you also circled, and if so, will you try to be there even if it may mean you are going to be well after midnight? What am I saying? Of course, you will, and if you don't, thousands of others will; it'll be madness, and as all these users above said, it's going to be a spectacle.
